After her words fell, some people in the group were instantly excited, while others were frightened.
After giving both kindness and power, Jiang Nianjiao asked directly, "Which of you has ever seen the second young lady coming to the kitchen this morning?"
At that time, Jiang Zhi had already disguised herself, and the kitchen was full of people, and these people were not very sensitive to unfamiliar faces. Therefore, when Jiang Nianjiao asked about this matter, they naturally just shook their heads.
Jiang Nianjiao asked another way, "Then there is someone who is not a chef sneaking into you today."
When she asked this question, others still shook their heads subconsciously.
However, a fire girl with a relatively clever face suddenly said, "When I was carrying the garbage out, Sister Youling, who used to be waiting beside the madam, came over to help me dispose of the garbage."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao quickly asked, "Is there anyone else around her?"
The maid just lowered her head and thought for a while, then quickly raised her head and said, "There seems to be a little maid accompanying her. Sister Youling said that she is also a person in the madam's room. She also said that if something happens to the madam this time, they will most likely be involved too. They were assigned to the kitchen. They came here first to adapt in advance."
At this point, the girl who lit the fire seemed to have realized something. She only took a breath of cold air, and then said softly, "That maid helped us place the garbage together at first. Sister Youling also let us rest aside. The garbage here It would be nice if they could handle it. Naturally, I refused, and I kept moving garbage with them. But when I came out for the last time, the girl who was following Sister Youling disappeared. Sister Youlian said that she had something to do beforehand. Gone. I didn’t take it to heart at the time..."
At this point, the burning girl only glanced at Jiang Nianjiao secretly, as if she wanted to confirm whether her guess was true, but before she could clearly see the expression on Jiang Nianjiao's face.
Jiang Nianjiao ordered the maid on the side, "Let them be untied first."
Then she pointed to the maid who made the fire and said, "Give her a month's salary."
After the words fell, Jiang Nianjiao directly ordered another person, "Go and find Youling."
The people who received the order naturally went to Si Xin Garden quickly. However, these people searched around but could not find the whereabouts of You Ling.
Naturally, it was impossible for them to find You Ling's whereabouts in the Jiang Mansion.
After all, ever since Youling pushed Jiang Zhi out of the house, she had been waiting for Jiang Zhi to bring the people from Yushitai to Jiang's house.
However, after waiting for a whole morning, Jiang Zhi was nowhere to be seen. I heard that the eldest lady also detained the people who were working in the kitchen today.
After all, she had a guilty conscience and was afraid that Jiang Nianjiao would find out about her.
So after hearing that Jiang Nianjiao had detained the cook, she thought of escaping from the Jiang Mansion.
Fortunately, although the Jiang Mansion is heavily guarded, the large Jiang Mansion still requires people to come in and out, especially during official business, purchasing is naturally essential.
Therefore, she only asked Manager Zhang, who was in charge of purchasing in the kitchen, to take her out of the house to purchase.
That manager Zhang usually got a lot of benefits from her, so he naturally wouldn't refuse at this time.
But the manager Zhang never expected that as soon as You Ling left the house, he would directly escape from her shell.
In the end, the manager Zhang could only scold Youling for going crazy and having fun, while he went back home alone after placing the purchase order.
After You Ling left Jiang Mansion, the first place she went to was naturally the Yushitai.
After all, the route she took when she encouraged the second young lady to go out was the Yushitai.
However, there were officials going in and out of the yamen, but no woman came in or out. Even the grievance drum seemed to have never been touched.
As a runaway slave, she naturally did not have the courage to go to the Yushitai to sue the Jiang family.
Even when she got near the Yushitai, let alone going in to inquire about news, she didn't even dare to get close.
After lying next to the wall and struggling for a while, a man in a blue official robe walked out of the Yushitai.
The young man looked like a warm piece of white jade.
Although You Ling was afraid of meeting officials, this man seemed to be easier to talk to than the group of resolute and majestic door-god officials at Yushitai.
The most important thing is that the official did not prepare any means of transportation and left on foot with only a boy by his side.
You Ling saw the opportunity and took the initiative to take the lead.
Luoli came to the young official.
"I've met you, sir. Wish you all the best." She gave a blessing as she spoke.
The young man only raised his hand slightly, as if he didn't understand why this woman suddenly came to salute him.
Therefore, he subconsciously asked, "Does the girl need help with something?"
When Youling saw that the other party took the initiative to ask about this matter, she nodded quickly and said, "Sir, my second young lady went out early this morning and said she would come to Yushitai to play drums and redress her grievances. However, it's past noon and our young lady hasn't come back yet, so The master has sent a slave over, and wants the slave to ask the adults at the Yushitai, has my young lady ever been to the Yushitai?"
After listening to You Lian's words, the young man was obviously keenly aware of the unreasonableness in You Ling's words. After all, who didn't find a servant to report a crime when there was someone at their disposal?
Even if the master really came to report, there is no reason for a boudoir lady to show up.
Moreover, this girl looks timid, but she seems to have an ulterior motive.
However, although he had doubts in his heart, he still said warmly, "I wonder which family the second young lady in the girl's mouth is from? And why do you come to this Yushitai to complain?"
You Ling didn't expect that when she asked her young lady whether she had been to the Yushitai, she would be asked in such detail. For a moment, she felt she was dumbfounded.
The young man naturally saw her retreat, so he continued to comfort her, "Girl, don't worry. I'm asking this to help you better find your lady. After all, there are many people who came to the house to report the case today, and we also I don’t know who exactly you are looking for.”
The young man's words seemed to make sense, so You Ling still answered the first question, "She is the second young lady of the Jiang family."
Hearing the word "Jiang Mansion", a hint of gloom flashed in the young man's originally clear eyes. However, his emotions have always been reserved, so this hint of darkness seems to be just an illusion.
The young man said warmly, "Jiang Mansion? But the daughter of Wangliufang Jiang Xiang's Mansion?"
You Ling nodded.
Seeing that she was really the girl from Jiang Fang's house, the young man felt that he smelled something unusual, and for a moment he was a little excited.
"I wonder what your second lady reported?" the young man asked.
You Ling finally became alert at this time, "Why are you asking this? You haven't said yet whether our second lady has ever been to Yushitai?"
The young man said calmly, "Of course I have a reason for asking this. If you show up at the Yushitai looking for your young lady, it must mean that there is no news about your young lady, and she may even be missing."
"Since I want to find someone, I naturally have to ask why a daughter-in-law went out alone to report a crime and what she reported. Only in this way can I help you find the person."
You Ling didn't want to have anything to do with the Yushitai, so when she heard what the young man said, she quickly said, "It's nothing? Since you don't know where my second young lady is, I'll go back to my house and tell the master first."
After the words fell, You Ling turned around and wanted to leave, but unfortunately the boy next to the young man blocked You Ling's way.
There is an official in Tsing Yi in the front and his servant in the back.
And it seemed like neither of these two could beat them.
You Ling could only say loudly, "My lord, what do you mean?"
But the official in Tsing Yi only said calmly, "I still want to ask the girl what she means? Don't you want to report the crime? Why are you backing out now?"
Hearing what the Qingyi official said, You Ling quickly denied, "Who said I was going to report the crime? My master just asked me to come over and ask. I am anxious to go back and report the news to my masters. I advise you to let me go as soon as possible! Otherwise! You can’t bear the blame for delaying our master’s affairs!”
The Tsing Yi official raised his eyebrows and said, "No problem, I'll accompany the girl to the Jiang Mansion. If I can be used in any way, maybe I can be of some help to the manor."
Hearing this, You Ling became even more panicked. Can she still return to Jiang Mansion? If he returned to Jiang Mansion like this, Jiang Nianjiao would definitely know what he had done to instigate Jiang Zhi to leave the manor today. Considering this aspect, she was only struggling more and more now.
"Let me go, no one wants your help! You are so brave! Do you know that I am the first-class maidservant of Mistress Jiang Mansion!"
The young official only looked at the struggling You Ling with cold eyes. After a moment, he lowered his voice and chuckled, "Didn't your mistress die in childbirth? Are you a runaway slave?"
As soon as the young man said these words, You Ling's face turned pale. After a moment, she said weakly, "Who is the escaped slave of Jiang Mansion?"
"Since he is not an escaped slave of the Jiang Mansion, why would you refuse if I accompany you back to the Jiang Mansion? Or is there something scandalous that happened in your Jiang Mansion?" the young man said quietly.
Realizing that the other party had seen through her thoughts, You Ling felt like she was sweating like rain.
At that moment, she also knew that she couldn't hide it any longer. She only complained that she was easy to talk to, so she moved closer, but she didn't expect that the other person's observation turned out to be so keen.
She quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in a low voice, "Sir, please forgive me! Please don't send me back to the Jiang Mansion, otherwise I will be beaten to death by the eldest lady!"
Hearing the maid mention Jiang Nianjiao, the young man raised his eyebrows again.
Thinking of how unattainable Jiang Nianjiao was that day, the young man felt that he was even more excited about the secret he was about to hear.
"It's not impossible for me to let you go, but before that, you have to tell me what happened to the Jiang family, right?"
Seeing that the official only asked about this matter, You Ling decided to speak after some deliberation.
"The eldest lady, she killed the madam! Now the Jiang Mansion is covering up the matter for her. The second lady and I are not willing to accept that the madam's death is so unclear, so we conspired a plan, and the second lady will be the censor today. Beating the drum to complain and make the matter bigger. It would be a good way to give my wife justice, but I didn’t expect that there would be no news after the second young lady left the house today.”
