Chapter 33 Jade Bracelet
It's been all day and night, what is her father doing? It is impossible to go to the casino to play for so long. Jiang Liu's little head flashed the classic scene of "Man Lou Hong Xiu Zhao". Could it be that her father went somewhere unexplainable? Wang Xiangzhi followed the third girl, bent down and whispered, "Girls, don't listen to their words to drive away Wang Tian and his wife, and then drive them away, the only people the girl can use in the house are slaves and Shu Xia. one."
When Mrs. Wang married into the Jiang family, she brought in four maids, two companions and a maid. The four dowry maids have all been married, and only Wang Xiangzhi is left to serve in the mansion; accompanying Wang Ke's family out of the mansion to manage the shop, Wang married Xianghe, one of the dowry maids, to him, and Jiang Muyan's maid Shuxia is the king. Ke and Xianghe's daughter; the other room is Wang Tian and his wife, Wang Tian works in the front yard, and his wife works in the western yard; the servant girl who came with him is Wang's nurse, who had gone home for the elderly a few years ago.
Seeing that the girl was silent, Wang Xiangzhi became anxious, "My girl, you can't be confused! Even if Wang Tian's family is not good, it's better than outsiders, right?"
Jiang Muyan bit her lip, "Nanny doesn't know her..."
Wang Xiangzhi was afraid that the Jiang family would take the opportunity to pinch the girl and give her an idea. "She's rough, but there's nothing wrong with her. Anyway, their contract of selling her life is with the old lady, and it's up to her to decide what to do with her! As long as the girl doesn't let go, she can't be treated in this courtyard!"
Wang Xiangzhi raised her voice when she was in a hurry. Jiang Liu, who was being held, frowned when she saw her winking at her sister's side and making a bad idea. How could her mother find such an irrelevant nurse for her sister?
When she arrived at the main room of the North Courtyard, Mrs. Jiang asked the little sisters to sit beside her and directly asked about the arrest of the rough old woman in the West Courtyard. "Qingling said that the old woman is really unruly. Liu'er is frightened?"
Jiang Liu nodded fearfully, but wasn't he "frightened"? If he wasn't frightened, why would he send someone to Dicuitang to call Miss Sister?
Mrs. Jiang fondly touched her little head for a while, then looked at the box held by the third girl, and asked rather coldly, "What's going on, what are you holding?"
Jiang Muyan didn't have a good face at her grandmother's place. She was used to it. After standing up to salute, she respectfully replied, "Go back to grandmother, Wang Tian's house is not to catch mice, she eavesdropped on Yan'er and her sister in the morning, knowing that Yan'er I put the money box left by my mother under my sister's bed, and then went in to look for it."
Wang Xiangzhi heard what was going on and could not wait to go out and slap Wang Tian's daughter-in-law twice. She did such a worthless thing, but the girl's face was lost! The girl is also, why don't you discuss such a big matter with yourself first, and bring it to Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang asked slowly, "How did she hear that?"
Jiang Muyan was also puzzled, "Yan'er doesn't know either."
"Have you lost something?" Mrs. Jiang asked again.
The eyes of the maids in the house all fell on the box in the hands of the third girl, wondering what the second lady left for the two girls.
Jiang Muyan opened the box and took out a pair of bracelets and a money bag, "The bracelets left by my mother and the money to buy us candy are still there. It was my sister who was alert and she didn't take it away."
Seeing the crystal clear white jade bracelet in Jiang Muyan's hand, the faces of the people in the room turned ugly.
This pair of bracelets was often worn by the second lady when she was alive. When the Wang family came to move the dowry after the second lady passed away, because she did not see the pair of Bai Yuzhuo, her elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Kong, also sneered at Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. The outside meaning is that they have shallow eyelids and are greedy for the wife's dowry!
It turns out that this pair of bracelets has always been in Jiang Muyan's hands, why didn't she say it at that time!
Seeing that the faces of the grandmother, the wet nurse and others were getting more and more ugly, although he didn't know what was wrong with the pair of bracelets, Jiang Liu decided to take the initiative. So, with a bitter face, she said aggrievedly, "Grandma-mother, she-bad, steal-mother-give-buy-sugar-money."
The sixth girl is even more confused than the third girl, so she is in a hurry to ask Mrs. Jiang to punish Wang Tian's daughter-in-law! Wang Xiangzhi's face was even more ugly.
Mrs. Jiang really looked away from the jade bracelet, and instructed in anger, "Bring that old lady in!"
Yayin tied the knot so tightly that Wang Tian's wife could not stand even after being released, and was dragged in by two wives. She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy inarticulately, "O madam, spare your life, the slaves really came into the house to catch mice..."
"Palm mouth."
Mrs. Jiang spit out the cold words, and the old woman who supported Wang Tian's daughter-in-law came in, one held her, and the other rolled up her sleeves to fight.
Soon, bloodshot overflowed from the corner of Wang Tian's wife's mouth, and the slap in the face also shocked Jiang Liu's eardrums. This scene that I have only seen on the screen is happening in front of me, and the impact is not as big as usual. Jiang Liu once again truly realized the difference between her current environment and the original one. There are masters and servants here, and the masters can beat and scold the slaves at will, and even if they kill them, the government will not hold them accountable.
Watching Wang Tian's daughter-in-law being punished severely, Wang Xiangzhi's face turned pale with fright. Jiang Muyan still strictly abided by the rules, sitting upright, but clasped the money box tightly with her fingers, and her eyes were full of fear.
Jiang Liu felt that her grandmother was killing chickens to show the monkeys. She couldn't stand it any longer, so she turned her head and slowly plunged into her grandmother's arms, "Liu-er-fear."
The fight was almost over. Mrs. Jiang raised her hand and touched her little head, before she raised her hand to stop the old lady, and asked, "What are you doing in the sixth girl's room?"
Wang Tian's daughter-in-law lay on the ground with a swollen face and begged for mercy, but she refused to tell the truth.
Of course, Mrs. Jiang has a way to clean up these unclean servants. She instructed her confidant, "Search."
"Yes." Mrs. Liu asked Wang Tian's daughter-in-law to be searched, and then asked her to search her residence.
The old lady did this because she didn't intend to let her go, Wang Tian's wife did not dare to hide it any more, and confessed inarticulately, "When the servants were cleaning the yard in the morning, I heard from the two girls that there was a money box hidden under the bed, so I wanted to take advantage of it. Six girls went in and looked for them when they were sleeping. Madam, the slave's mother and father are ill and need money urgently to save her life.
Mrs. Jiang lowered her head and asked Jiang Liu, "Where did you guys talk about the money box in the morning?"
Jiang Liu replied, "Sister-sister-room-in-bed-on-bed."
Having said this, Jiang Liu suddenly realized. The elder sister's bed was against the north wall instead of the window. The two of them hid on the bed and talked in a low voice. How could Wang Tian's daughter-in-law hear them in the yard. She must have been hiding in her sister's room and overheard it!
Mrs. Jiang stared at Wang Tian's daughter-in-law, so frightened that Wang Tian's daughter-in-law did not dare to say a word. She kept kowtowing to the third girl, hoping that she could save her life by thinking that she was the second lady's companion.
