Chapter 113 Dowry Disturbance
"What way?" Lin Yonghe asked.
Ning Xi triumphantly said: "Make her dowry mine!"
Lin Yonghe thought it was a good idea. It turned out to be such a bad idea. She shook her head and sighed: "Do you think I haven't thought about it? But those things are locked in the warehouse. I don't have a key, and I can't open a single box." open."
Ning Xi frowned: "Where is the key?"
Lin Yonghe waved his hand: "At the old lady's place, it should be given to Ning Yue in two days. I can't get the key, don't even think about it."
Ning Xi smiled meaningfully: "What if... the old lady offered to give you the key?"
…
In Tangliyuan, Ma Ningxin was taking a nap, Niuniu couldn't sleep, she was clamoring for Ning Yue to play backgammon with her, she put everything in her mouth, Ning Yue was afraid that she would swallow it, so she was carried to the backyard and played on the swing .
Qiuxiang asked while folding the clothes: "When shall we bring the fourth lady back?"
Ning Yue took a sip of tea and said calmly, "In a few days."
Qiu Xiang was stunned for a moment. The young lady and his wife had a very good relationship, and they wished they could get tired of being together all day long. Why is it that they are not in a hurry to bring the lady back now that they have returned to the mansion?
Ning Yue understands Qiuxiang's doubts. To be honest, it's not that she doesn't miss Lin Lanzhi, but right now, it may not be a good time.
"You girl, you've been made to boil a pot of water for a long time, and you don't do anything after taking the money, right? If you're so lazy, I'll warn you, go back where you came from!"
In the yard, mother Qin's majestic shout came.
Mother Zhong returned to her natal home with Lin Lanzhi, and Ning Yue promoted a new mother in charge from the yard. Her surname is Qin, and she came here as a dowry with Lin Lanzhi. Because of her good cooking skills, she has been working in the small kitchen. At first glance, it sounds a bit condescending, but the kitchen is a big job.
This time, she was taking the place of Zhong's mother temporarily, and the kitchen was not left behind.
After reprimanding the disobedient servant girl, she lifted the curtain and went in, put a small dish of delicate and delicious red bean cake on the table, and said with a smile: "Seeing Niu Niu coming out, I knew that the lady didn't take a nap, so I specially made some red bean cake Come here, this is made of fine powder, with some mint added, it tastes very refreshing, try it!"
Ning Yue hummed.
Qiuxiang hurriedly called hot water to clean Ning Yue's hands.
Ning Yue picked up a piece of red bean cake and was about to eat it, but found that Qin's mother's face was not very good-looking, the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to say something, so she said, "Tell me what you want!"
Mother Qin glanced at Qiuxiang.
Qiuxiang understood, "Your gown is threadbare, I'm not good at sewing, so go find Dongmei to get it." Then, she took a piece of Ning Yue's clothes and went to the back room.
There was no third person in the room. Qin's mother put away her smile and said very solemnly: "Miss San, when the servant was going to the dining room to get the ingredients, I heard something!"
Ning Yue frowned: "What?"
Qin's mother looked around, took two steps forward, and was about to stick to Ning Yue. Ning Yue didn't like people approaching, her eyes turned cold, she was so frightened that she hurried back to her original seat, and said in a cold sweat: "It's like this Yes, miss."
She lowered her volume, "The side lady went to ask the old lady for the key to the warehouse!"
"The key to the warehouse? Doesn't she have it?" Ning Yue said indifferently, playing with the red bean cake in her hand, and for a moment, she seemed to have no intention of eating it.
Mother Qin frowned and said: "She has the key to the big warehouse, so this servant guessed that she went to the old lady to ask for the key to the small warehouse!"
"Small warehouse?" Ning Yue looked confused.
Mother Qin said sternly: "Masters and wives all have their own small warehouses, Mrs. Lanzhi and the fourth master also have them, but the key to the fourth master is in the hand of the side lady, so she doesn't need to ask for it!"
Ning Yue's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "So...she is going to ask for the key to my mother's warehouse?"
"It should be." Qin's mother nodded, thoughtfully, "You said... she is doing well, what is she going to open Mrs. Lanzhi's warehouse for?"
Ning Yue shook her head with a smile, and said indifferently, "Who knows?"
Mother Qin was slightly taken aback: "Miss, aren't you worried?"
Ning Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled: "What are you worried about?"
Mother Qin said: "I'm worried that she will touch Mrs. Lanzhi's dowry! The servant has heard that the second lady's dowry is pitifully small. Will she feel uncomfortable and order it from Mrs. Lanzhi to the second lady?"
Ning Yue laughed: "How could my aunt do such a stupid thing? If she is found out, both her and the second sister are finished."
Mother Qin rubbed her sleeves: "That's what I said, but be careful when sailing for thousands of years, miss, you'd better not take it lightly."
Ning Yue looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "Then, according to Qin's mother, what should I do?"
Mother Qin straightened her back and said, "Of course I will report to the old lady! The dowry was left to you by Mrs. Lanzhi, so you must not take advantage of a concubine!"
"Okay, I'm going to report to my grandmother."
"but…"
"But what?"
Qin's mother took a weak breath: "If she doesn't move...you will be falsely accused. How about this, at night, let's go to the warehouse to watch and see if Mrs. Side will touch Mrs. Lanzhi's things If you don't move, everything will be fine, if you move, you will get the stolen goods!"
"How does Qin's mother know that she will go at night?"
"Where can you pick the day when you do bad things?" Qin's mother said without thinking.
Ning Yue held back her smile, and said with thin lips: "Didn't Mother Qin not sure if she would do bad things just now?"
"Uh... this..." Qin's mother smiled embarrassingly, patted her chest and said, "When a person lives to my age, there are some things that you can't go wrong with your feelings! I just let you steal it and get it again just in case Find the old lady!"
The smile in Ning Yue's eyes grew stronger: "Mom is so kind to me."
"That's right, I watched you grow up, and in my heart, you are closer than my own daughter!" Qin's mother smiled admiringly, and picked up the plate, "Eat it while it's hot, and it won't taste good when it's cold. .”
"Mother Qin also eats a piece." Ning Yue casually picked up a piece and fed it into her mouth.
She ate it without hesitation.
Ning Yue took a bite lightly: "I'm going to say hello to grandma, and we will meet at the door of the warehouse at night."
"Yes." A smile flashed in Qin's mother's eyes, and she backed away gently.
As soon as she left, Ning Yue turned her head and spat out the pastry in her mouth.
