Jing'er said at this time: "County Master, your hair has been combed, please change your clothes."
Xining stood up, her clothes were ready, but she said, "You don't need this set anymore. Bring me the treasured clothes you wore during the canonization."
Jing'er was stunned: "The treasure clothes are too heavy to wear in this weather..."
Xining walked to the middle and spread her arms. A maid came over to help her take off the clothes she was wearing. She said calmly: "No matter how hot it is, you still have to wear it. These are hidden in the belly. They will inevitably have to talk about it when they go back. Only this precious garment can suppress their mouths. Go and get the golden crown when you canonize it." Bring it."
Butler Xiao asked about the reason, and after asking Butler Lin, he took the people over.
In the living room, Xiaohong was still kneeling, with the broken branches placed on the ground in front of her. This red coral is truly exquisite, so dazzlingly red. Xiaohong cried until her eyes turned into peach kernels.
Butler Xiao walked into the door and bowed: "I am the steward of the Changping County Lord. My surname is Xiao. Xiao has been ordered by the Changping County Lord to come and handle this matter."
Miss Jia Er chuckled: "Steward Xiao, it's okay. Miss Qian San has a larger coral tree than this one in the warehouse. I'll just use it to compensate the county owner."
Miss Qian San was so angry that her eyes were red. She didn't have such a big coral tree in her home. She just said it casually. Unexpectedly, it was used as a handle. If he couldn't come up with it, he would be laughed at. Even if he had it at home, if he took it out, Mr. Qian would still be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Miss Jia San, who came with her, couldn't help but nudged her with her elbow and winked, meaning stop talking.
But Miss Jia Er rolled her eyes. It would be a waste if she didn't stab her with such a good opportunity.
Butler Xiao smiled and said: "Qian's wife is one of the richest families, and this is recognized in the county. But this matter has nothing to do with the Qian family. Come on, take the coral to the palace."
Um? Everyone was stunned.
Miss Wang couldn't understand what she was saying: "What are you doing bringing her to my house?"
Butler Xiao raised his hand and grabbed a bamboo raft. This bamboo raft is about the size of a palm, but the difference is that it has a painting on it: "What is this? I wonder which lady can recognize it!"
Miss Zhou knew it at a glance: "This seems to be a painting for the occasion. There was a hidden stake from the palace in the past. He painted everything he saw and forwarded it to the capital."
Butler Xiao nodded: "What Miss Zhou said is true. Please take a look, what is the painting on it?"
Although the bamboo raft is not big, the characters on it are vividly painted. There is a painting of a coral tree, and a young lady is about to leave, with a maid beside her supporting her. But there was a maid next to her who stretched out her leg, hooked her leg, and tried to push her with one hand.
The young lady who is leaving is naturally Miss Qian San, and the maid next to her who is plotting against her...
Miss Jia Er was also outspoken and immediately called out: "Isn't this the Xiuyan next to Miss Wang?"
The main features of Xiuyan's face in the painting are drawn, and even Miss Wang next to her is also drawn.
Miss Wang's face suddenly turned red, and her words became intermittent: "I, I didn't ask Xiuyan to do such a thing."
Xiuyan's face suddenly turned pale, and she immediately retorted: "I didn't do it, it was the wrong drawing!"
Butler Xiao smiled and said nothing, but Miss Tuesday said something fair: "These painting detectives will never make mistakes. They will paint whatever they see. Just like the documentaries, they would rather lose their heads than paint according to the truth."
"The Wang family didn't expect such a person... Yes, I didn't expect... Huh, they are a merchant family after all, full of cunning and cunning..." The voices around him were very low, but they were still clear to the ears.
Miss Wang was furious: "Kneel down!"
Xiuyan could only kneel down.
Miss Wang was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she pointed her finger: "Who told you to do such a dirty thing? You usually follow me to study the books of sages, but where did you learn it?"
But Butler Xiao shook his head: "Miss Wang has nothing to do with this matter, please look at the cards."
At this time, everyone discovered that Miss Wang was not looking at Xiuyan, her eyes were still on the coral tree, and the expression on her face was easy-going. She probably didn't know what Xiuyan behind her was going to do.
Butler Xiao said: "Although it has nothing to do with Miss Wang, the girl who committed the crime is from the palace after all. The county boss said that this coral tree belongs to the palace of Qinling Palace. The purchase price at that time was 10,000 taels of silver. Now I estimate that it is at least 10,000 taels of silver." I want twelve thousand taels. Whoever breaks it will buy it. If you don’t want to, just go to the county government office and file a complaint. Ladies, please move to the hall now. The banquet should be about to start."
Several servants were waiting outside the house, waiting for the ladies in the house to leave before going in to transport the goods.
The ladies stepped back a little, facing the door, reluctant to leave.
"Miss!" Xiuyan raised her head suddenly and said with tears streaming down her face: "I am responsible for all my work. Since I have made a mistake, I will not implicate the palace."
He looked around, stood up suddenly, aimed at the pillar next to him, and rushed over.
Butler Xiao saw something bad and shouted: "Stop her!"
Upon seeing this, a maid serving tea dropped the plate in her hand and bumped into it. The impact was so strong that they both fell to the ground.
As if she had practiced well, the maid turned over and fell on Xiuyan, grabbed one of Xiuyan's arms and held it behind her back: "Go get the rope!"
The ropes were brought and tied tightly, and cloth was stuffed into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue.
Butler Xiao was also stunned and looked at the maid.
The maid clapped her hands and said happily: "The county master said that something might happen today. As long as it can be stopped on the spot, there will be a reward of silver."
The corner of Butler Xiao's mouth twitched: "What else did the county master say?" He was the steward, why didn't he know about this?
The maid put her hands on her waist: "The county master is wise and has arranged for someone to be by the pond. If someone comes close, he will ask her to leave. Even if she falls into the water, there will be maids who are familiar with the water and are ready to rescue her. Get clean clothes. Several wells have also been sealed to prevent anyone from being pushed into the wells..."
When the young ladies left, they all muttered to themselves that this county lord's mansion was really a place where dragons and tigers were hidden.
We can't let this slave die. Not only does it stain the county lord's mansion, but also loses a life in vain. It is said that the county lord forced the person to death, and the news reached the palace. Maybe there will be some officials involved in the matter.
