Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I am no longer the mistress of Houmen!

Chapter 42

"Yun Wan, what's going on?"

Mrs. Lu frowned and asked, but her restless heart had finally returned to her stomach.

Lin Yunwan said: "This is a big matter, my daughter-in-law dare not make a scene known to everyone."

"So the granddaughter-in-law declared to the outside world that someone stole the valuables from your dowry, and took this opportunity to search the inner house together with her mother-in-law."

"Now everyone in the house thinks that you lost something, and no one suspects such a thing."

"If it can be found out, it's best to deal with it quietly. If it can't be found out, this time it can be regarded as a reminder to that person, don't cause trouble in front of relatives in the future."

What she said was well-founded, and the old lady could not refute it.

Wei Shi was even more confused, and asked Lin Yunwan: "What kind of thing? What are you talking about? Why do I become more and more confused the more I listen to it?"

Mrs. Lu said impatiently: "What are you asking! Just listen to what you say."

Wei Shi twisted his handkerchief, pursed his lips, lowered his head and said "yes".

Mrs. Lu looked at Lin Yunwan again: "Then did you find anything?"

Lin Yunwan shook her head.

"After checking up and down, everyone's room was clean, and no 'dirty' was found."

Wei Shi also muttered: "It's really strange, who stole it? Could it be that the stolen goods have been sold?"

The old lady's face froze, and she said, "It's fine if you don't find out. Maybe you've already scared the snake, and you can't find it out again."

"That's not true, old lady, there is still one thing I haven't checked."

Wei Shi just said something in his head.

Mrs. Lu frowned and said, "Didn't you say they've checked everything?"

Sure enough, I heard Lin Yunwan say: "Biao girl is a guest after all, so it's not easy to search her boudoir. Granddaughter-in-law is about to ask the old lady for instructions, should Biao girl's room be checked or not?"

Mrs. Lu suddenly clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Wei Shi took it for granted, "Everyone has checked, and of course her room will also be checked."

Mama Yan gave Wei Shi a wink, but Wei Shi didn't quite understand, and Wei Shi asked Mama Yan kindly: "What's wrong with your eyes? The left eye is rich, the right eye is bad, Mama Yan, your right eyelid Jumping all the time is not a good omen, you must be careful recently."

Yan's mother smiled dryly: "...the old slave remembers."

Why doesn't the eldest lady seem to have a brain!

"It stands to reason that everyone has checked, and in order to avoid suspicion, Bao'er's room also needs to be checked..."

After Mrs. Lu's words reached this point, Lin Yunwan stood up and said, "The old lady is enlightened." Seeing that she was about to go out and gather people to search.

"You stop!"

Mrs. Lu hurriedly called her down, and said nervously: "She is an unmarried boudoir girl who lives in Lu's house as a guest. If she really copied her room, how can she have the nerve to live in it in the future?"

"Yunwan, I didn't entrust you with the power of housekeeping to make you treat your relatives poorly."

Lin Yunwan didn't seem to understand: "How can this be regarded as treating relatives poorly? It is precisely because of the same treatment that I want to investigate her."

"If the old lady says so, I will have to investigate her. Biao girl lives in your yard, if I don't clear her up today, I'm afraid everyone will suspect that she stole your things in the future."

Wei Shi said, "That's exactly the truth."

It's not just a simple matter of stealing!

Mrs. Lu quickly changed her tone and said, "Since she is a guest of the Hou Mansion, forget it. Give her some face."

Lin Yunwan bowed her head, and responded lightly: "Yes."

"That's the end of this matter, no one should mention it again. Go back."

Mrs. Lu chased them away and almost slumped on the chair.

Yan's mother was very flustered, she went to support her, and touched her back, she was covered in cold sweat!

"so close……"

Mrs. Lu said tremblingly.

"Isn't that right, madam is such a formidable means. After this round of inspections, only the cousin girl was left unchecked. If something happens in the future, sooner or later she will be suspicious of the cousin girl... She is alone That's all, if something happens in the future, what will happen to the son's reputation!"

Madam Lu said palely, "Call her over here."

"I really can't indulge her anymore!"

Mother Yan went to call Ge Baoer over.

She didn't know what happened, so she came over with a bowl of soup to cool off the summer heat, and said with a sweet smile, "Old lady, why are you sweating all over?" Drink her summer soup.

The old lady stretched out her hand and slapped her across the face, glaring at her.

"what……"

The soup bowl was overturned on the floor.

Ge Bao'er screamed, covering her face, tears streaming down her face: "Old madam, what did I, what did I do wrong...you want to treat me like this!"

Mother Yan took that thing out.

"Miss, look for yourself, you did a good job! If the old lady didn't hide it for you, the madam would have caught me today!"

Ge Baoer glanced at the thing, and said in panic: "It's not mine, it's not mine..."

"Not you?"

Mrs. Lu sneered: "Steward Yunwan has never had such a thing in seven years, but since you came, the Lu family has this thing. Who is it?"

How could she bring such a thing into the mansion!

Ge Bao'er was in pain and couldn't tell.

The old lady told Yan's mother: "Go and search her room. Find all the remaining dirty things for me."

Ge Baoer sat on the ground and cried, but he didn't stop him.

Until Yan's mother came back and said: "...Old lady, her room is very clean, except for a few clothes and pens, inks, papers and inkstones, there is really nothing."

"Very clean?"

Mrs. Lu was taken aback for a moment, and glanced at Ge Baoer, is it really her?

Ge Bao'er bit her lip, crying more and more sadly.

Mrs. Lu calmed down a little, and said: "Today the search went up and down, only your room was not searched, it was either you or you."

"From now on, you are not allowed to go out to worship the Buddha."

"Just stay in the backyard for me!"

The old lady walked away.

Yan's mother helped her up and said, "Girl, go back. Stop crying, it's a joke."

joke……

Isn't she laughable enough?

Ge Bao'er returned to the wing with his slap on his back, and Wu'er came over and shouted in surprise: "Girl, your face."

Wu'er searched for medicine all over the house and gave her medicine.

"hiss……"

Ge Bao'er yelled, and tightly grabbed Wu'er's hand.

"Girl, let go, you are hurting your servant!"

Ge Bao'er came back to his senses, a bloodstain had already appeared on the back of Wu'er's hand.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention for a while..."

Wu'er burst into tears in pain, but still had to say: "Your servant is fine, girl, I will apply medicine to your face."

Ge Bao'er took her hand, with tears in his eyes: "Wu'er, it's hard for you, it's not in vain for me to treat you as my own sister."

Wu'er pursed his lips, but didn't answer.

There are still two lamps burning in the Chuisi Hall.

Zhu Qing stayed with Lin Yunwan to help sort out the account books. She used to be a maid who could read and write, so it was easy to do some superficial housekeeping.

"Ma'am, do you think the mother-in-law really picked it up by accident?"

Lin Yunwan raised her head and asked her, "Do you think I ordered it?"

Zhuqing shook her head: "No."

She thought for a while, and then said: "If it's madam, this matter won't be settled so easily. With madam's intelligence, she can hit the key right away."

Lin Yunwan smiled lightly.

It's true that she didn't instigate it, but doing so couldn't hit Ge Baoer's vitals.

"Ma'am, do you think that thing has something to do with the cousin girl?"

Zhuqing talked a lot tonight, she asked cautiously.

"What do you think?"

Zhu Qing said with a smile: "I can't say it well, but there is only the cousin girl's room that hasn't been searched, so everything is possible." In short, in everyone's mind, Ge Baoer is probably responsible for today's incident .

"Who threw it, don't you know very well?"

Lin Yunwan smiled slightly.
