The words in late winter are shocking.
Although Lingying had been warned to be wary of everyone except her master before she came, she really didn't associate the matter of making money with Yu Se.
She was so good at pretending.
There was nothing extravagant in Nasi's heart, and even Yu Se was usually diligent and thrifty. The sum of her and Jiang Zhi's jewelry and clothing was not even close to Jiang Nianjiao's half-empty family fortune.
And who would have thought that a head mother would covet her daughter's property.
If this kind of thing spreads out, I am afraid that half of the official female relatives in Beijing will not believe it.
However, with such a major discovery, Lianying felt very excited and did not want to continue talking. At this moment, she just wanted to tell Qi Lian the news she had received immediately.
It's a pity that she wanted to leave here, but Wan Dong grabbed her sleeve and refused to let go, "Don't leave! Let's keep drinking!"
Lingying was about to break off Wan Dong's hand, but Wan Dong was still talking crazily, "I'll tell you what else you want to know."
At the same time, there was a soft creaking sound from the door.
Lingying knew that it was time for Chunhua to come back. Seeing that she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to leave, and she was also afraid that Late Winter would say something that she shouldn't have said, so she quickly knocked on the back of Late Winter's neck. A hand knife.
In late winter, he fainted after being hit with a knife.
And she just took the opportunity to lie down on the table, clearly looking like she was drunk.
The reason why she did this was naturally because she was afraid that Chunhua would notice that she was drinking late winter wine.
After all, although late winter loves to drink, he is not a greedy person.
If you only get drunk in late winter, this spring flower will inevitably be full of doubts.
When Chunhua entered the room, she saw Wan Dong lying on the ground, and Lian Ying was also lying on the table.
The table was littered with cups and plates.
The smell of alcohol in the room was so strong that it made people sick.
"Why is it so stinky! How much wine did you drink? Aren't you allowed to drink too much?"
Chunhua was a mysophobic person. When she saw this situation, she even subconsciously wanted to leave the house, but this was where she slept. If she quits now, where will she sleep tonight?
After hesitating for a moment, she finally covered the veil with her hand and opened the indoor door and window.
Then she hurriedly exited the house and just sat on the stone steps. Fortunately, the cool night breeze dissipated for a while, and most of the alcohol smell in the room also dissipated.
Chunhua frowned. Although he really didn't want to care about these two drunkards, it was not good for them to continue lying like this.
After thinking about it, she went to find a few low-level maids to clean up the cups, plates, and wine cups in the house, and then carried the two drunkards to where they belonged.
Lian Ying was naturally carried back to the house where she and Ruan Nan lived.
When the two maids helped Lian Ying into Ruan Nan's house, Ruan Nan seemed to be ready to rest.
Her long hair was disheveled, and she opened the door dressed in Chinese clothes.
Seeing the drunken Lianying, she only frowned subconsciously and complained, "Where are you going to have a drink? You dare to compete with others for the amount of wine you poured in three glasses. It's really life-threatening."
The two maids supporting her only whispered, "Miss Lianying drank some wine at Miss Dong'er's place."
After hearing this, Ruan Nan stopped complaining, but she still covered her nose with a handkerchief and said with a look of disgust, "Just throw her on the bed."
The two maids breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the order. The maids in the outer courtyard did all the hard and dirty work. On weekdays, I get up earliest.
It was already getting late, and if they were left to take care of this drunken man again, they would probably be even more tired tomorrow.
And they were obviously not willing to put in any extra effort. After throwing the person on the bed, they left here without looking back.
What they didn't know was that just after they left, Lianying, who should have been drunk and unconscious, suddenly sat up from the bed cross-legged. The way she woke up was like a corpse, which frightened her and prepared to cover her with a quilt. Ruan Nan jumped.
After noticing that the man looked ecstatic, she thought he had drunk too much and was about to go crazy.
He was about to subconsciously chop Lianying with a knife.
her
Lingying took her hand.
"Sister Ruan Nan, I have an important clue! Let's go see the lady! Go see sister Qilian!"
After saying this, Lianying put on her shoes directly and prepared to go to the inner room of Qinglan Courtyard.
Fortunately, Ruan Nan caught Lingying in time. "You idiot, you made such a big fuss, maybe you didn't want the whole yard to know that you have a major clue."
It has to be said that Ruan Nan's plate of cold water woke Lianying out of her unconscious state.
Lianying then patted her cheek and said innocently, "That's right. Then I'll go see the lady secretly. I guarantee that no one will be surprised except Sister Liuyun who is guarding the yard."
Ruan Nan is still very sure of Lianying's skills.
She didn't ask why, she just let Lianying go.
The candlelight inside the Qinglan Courtyard was dim, and on the small couch in the outer room, Qing Wu, one of the four palace maids, slept on the small couch and kept vigil. The passion flower pattern bed curtain in the inner room has been put down.
Obviously, both the master and the servant have fallen asleep now, but Qingwu has always been vigilant. As soon as Lianying climbed through the window and sneaked into the room, she turned around and just wanted to attack Lianying. past.
Lingying felt the palm wind attacking her, and she was so frightened that she immediately called out, "Sister Qingwu, it's me! Lingying."
Seeing that it was Lianying, Qingwu reluctantly stopped her hand. She looked at Lianying and said, "You're not sleeping in the middle of the night. What are you doing in the lady's room?"
Lianying said proudly, "Of course I have something big to tell you."
"What's the big deal? Is Yu Se finally planning to attack me?" Jiang Nianjiao didn't know when she got up.
Lingying immediately shook her head, "Of course not. They are too wary and are still unwilling to entrust me with important tasks. But fortunately, I am smart and witty, and I got some information from that night in the winter."
"I heard that Wan Dong said that the four maids who were greedy for money were actually ordered by Yu Se, and it seems that Yu Se personally took the lion's share."
After Jiang Nianjiao heard this, her first reaction was obviously that she couldn't believe it.
After all, the mistress teamed up with outsiders to embezzle her daughter's wealth. This kind of scandal has never been heard of in the entire Beijing circle.
They are all official wives, and they are all respectable people. If this kind of scandal spreads, let alone how the family handles it, if it spreads, the entire Jiang family will become a laughing stock.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't be happy after hearing such news.
Lingying thought she didn't believe her, so she emphasized, "Dong was drunk that night, and his truth should not be false! Besides, haven't we been able to find the account book these days? Miss, why don't we send someone Let’s go look for clues in Sixin Garden.”
Jiang Nianjiao didn't speak. She was closing her eyes in deep thought, wondering whether she should continue to investigate this matter.
After all, she did plan to give Yu Se a big surprise before getting married, but it was definitely not like this. This kind of scandal would hurt the face of the entire Jiang family.
Although she does have resentment towards her father, she is also a member of the Jiang family, and to a certain extent, both are prosperous and deprived. .
"Miss, I think it is indeed necessary to investigate this matter. Maybe there is something else that can be found out." Qingnu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Nianjiao thought for a while and then nodded. However, she still gave instructions to these people not to leak out what happened today. After explaining this, she called in a female secret guard who was guarding the outside.
The person who entered the room was Liu Yun. She was dressed in black and almost blended into the night. She had a resolute face and was dressed in a neutral style. If she hadn't spoken, everyone would have thought Liu Yun was a handsome young man.
When Liu Yun entered the room, he half-knelt on one knee on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "I don't know what the master has ordered."
Jiang Nianjiao then detailed the information Lianying had just obtained to Liuyun.
In the end, she couldn't help but say, "Be careful along the way and don't scare others."
Liuyun naturally took the order and left.
Night clothes are undoubtedly the best cover color in this night. With the shadow of the trees on the eaves, the flowing clouds fly all the way over the eaves and walls, and you can enter the Garden of Thoughts without any hindrance.
Shrouded in night and shadow
The backyard of the inner house is just like a monster that chooses people to eat.
There were only a few dim stone lamps left outside the Sixin Garden at this time, but no one was on duty. Even inside, there were only a few candlelights. But this candlelight cannot support the darkness here at all.
Instead, it just seemed like a pair of eyes had been added to this giant beast out of thin air.
The flowing clouds dissolved into the night, and the first place they searched for was the small study room where Yuse used to settle accounts.
There were two people guarding the door outside the study, but they were obviously used to being lazy. At this time, they were clearly supposed to be on duty at night, but they were huddled in a corner and dozing off.
When Liu Yun stepped into the small study quietly, they were still smacking their lips in a sweet dream.
Liuyun had visited all of Jiang Mansion, so at this moment she was groping for a carved wooden cabinet quite purposefully.
Just when she was about to open the door of the carved wooden cabinet, the brass bell on the cabinet suddenly kept ringing. At the same time, a strong gust of wind suddenly hit behind her.
Liu Yun was a martial arts practitioner, so she was naturally very alert to such sneak attacks. She almost rolled on the spot and dodged the attack from behind.
But even so, her back was still bruised by the long lock claws.
The figure that attacked her was like a ghost.
He was wearing a large black robe, and his face was covered by a thick hood. He was holding a long lock claw and pressing towards Liuyun step by step.
Liu Yun was forced by him to have no place to stay. Because he knew the distribution of Jiang's troops very well, Liu Yun didn't bring any weapons. The only thing she brought was a dagger and a signal bomb.
I don't want to see Cheng Yaojin come out halfway.
The dagger really had no chance of winning against the hook, and this man's skills were far superior to Liu Yun's.
After Liu Yun fought this man for more than a dozen moves, he knew that he was probably going to be in trouble this time.
