"Mother Hu, the things in this warehouse are so messy. Please help me go in and look around. I'll just stay here. It's such a mess. How can I do it?" Luo Mingzhu shook the handkerchief and looked at it with disgust. Looking at the door of the warehouse, she frowned, which made Nanny Hu smile bitterly.
I don’t know what happened to this aunt today. She has never been to the warehouse before, so she insisted on coming in person this time. When she got here, she disliked this and that, which made Aunt Hu confused. She didn’t know whether to wait on this person first. Dear aunt, it’s better to look for that painting first.
"Second aunt, if you sit here for a while, can you go in and look for me with others?" Aunt Hu said with a helpless smile, wiping a sweat secretly. This aunt is a little more difficult to serve than before she got married. With her If you are making trouble by asking this and that, you probably won’t be looking for anything for a while.
It’s better to calm her down first!
"Sitting in this place? Are you happy to find it?" Luo Mingzhu looked at the small room outside the warehouse, then opened the huge warehouse, and asked after hesitation.
"This, I can't tell you at the moment..." Aunt Hu's face suddenly turned bitter. I don't know how this little aunt thought of it today. There is still some reflection of that painting of Aunt Hu. It seems to be a very beautiful painting. Beautiful landscape pictures, but these are just some images.
Because that painting was so old, it must have been my aunt's favorite when she was about ten years old. After hanging it in the house for a while, she didn't like it anymore, so she threw it away in the warehouse. , five or six years have passed now, and I’m still not sure when I found him.
"Okay, okay, I know you are in trouble. As soon as you let her look for it with you, I will sit here. Do you have anything interesting to see here? Let me take a look. Don't let me die of boredom waiting." Mingzhu pointed to her personal maid Xiaohuan and said annoyedly, as if she was sitting here supervising the work today.
"Grandma Second Aunt, what do you want to see? Look, here I am..." Aunt Hu shook her hands and asked with a grimace. This small side room is where she usually works when tidying up the warehouse. She doesn't know much about literacy herself. , where would there be any books for Luo Mingzhu to read.
Luo Mingzhu sat on a chair on the side, covering her nose with a handkerchief, turning around casually, and suddenly pointed at a tall stack of account books placed in a cupboard: "That's it. Anyway, I'm fine, Tong." My cousin and mother went to learn how to manage the backyard, and I surprised them by being self-taught here."
Seeing Luo Mingzhu's triumphant look, Aunt Hu was speechless for a while. This second lady has always been pampered. She was always a careless person when she was married. She didn't know how complicated it was. Anyway, since she didn't find it troublesome herself, she What can I say, I nodded immediately, took the key and opened the door of the kitchen cabinet, and was about to let someone take out the account books inside.
Over there, Luo Mingzhu waved her hands helplessly, and assigned the manpower: "Mother Hu, you all go in and look for it. You must find the scroll for me. I liked that painting the most back then, but I can't I can’t find it, so I’m the only maid left here, and the others are all helping Grandma Hu look for her. I don’t have much time here, so I can’t waste it here. I have to take a nap in a while, and I’m really sleepy now.”
"Yes, yes, yes, slaves, please tell them to move quickly, and I won't worry about you taking a nap." Aunt Hu nodded her head with a smile on her face. She still dared to worry, and took everyone away obediently, leaving only Picture Luo Mingzhu and one of her maids. It might be hard to find that painting. With more people and more power, someone will always find out!
After Aunt Hu had brought everyone with her, Luo Mingzhu nodded to the maid who was following her, lifted up her skirt, and ignored the dust on the cupboard. She knelt down and rummaged around while the maid stood guard. The side room leads to the door of the warehouse. From this position, you can better see the behavior of Aunt Hu and others inside, and remind Luo Mingzhu when Aunt Hu comes over.
The sheets in the cupboard were arranged very neatly, and each stack was classified into different categories. Some were for daily accounts, and some were for recording daily notices. Mrs. Qu was tripped by Mo Xuetong, and Grandma Hu opened the cupboard door again. , I searched the picture scroll inside, and I would never find it for a while. Luo Mingzhu had plenty of time to look for it slowly.
His fingers quickly pulled out the cover marks of each account book. After flipping through dozens of books, he finally found a list of the entry and exit conditions of the servants of Duke Fuguo. The records were very detailed, starting from one The height, weight, place of origin, and appearance of people entering the house are all recorded.
As for when he was released, he also recorded these, and also left the address where the person lived next, so that everyone could contact him. Luo Mingzhu turned back page after page, and there were certain records for each year. Xiang Fuguo Gong For a family like this, it is normal for a few servants to be admitted and a few to be let out every year.
The employment situation of this wealthy family over the years is all recorded in booklets.
Luo Mingzhu flipped through more than 20 books before she reached a place about thirty years ago. She looked at the book in front of her with a few years skipped in astonishment. Luo Mingzhu couldn't react for a moment. She flipped back carefully and found that a few years were missing. It happened to be shortly after my aunt was born that everything was gone.
How could I not remember it!
Luo Mingzhu frowned and pulled the book up hard, only to find that there were some thin marks at the interface of the book. Someone had torn off a few pages with great care, because they were torn off very carefully. Nothing can be seen at all. If Luo Mingzhu hadn't carefully counted down year by year, she wouldn't have thought that there would be a few pages missing here.
And these few pages turned out to be the most critical. Someone took the lead and tore the booklet apart!
This realization made Luo Mingzhu's face turn pale and she almost couldn't stand. Luo Mingzhu didn't know what happened back then. She only knew from the quarrel between her father and mother that what must have happened back then. It was very possible that her aunt was really It didn't matter if she wasn't her grandmother's biological daughter. It didn't matter if the Fuguo Palace recognized her as a goddaughter.
The problem is that no matter whether it is father, mother or grandmother, everyone seems to be very taboo. After what Mo Xuetong said, Luo Mingzhu has already felt that this matter is not a trivial matter. No one can bear the crime of bullying the emperor. Why does grandmother To do this, even if she was not born by the grandmother, it doesn't matter if the grandmother says she was adopted. Why must she be the eldest daughter of the Duke of Fuguo
Everyone has kept this matter secret for so many years, and Luo Mingzhu was shocked to see that these pages were missing from the booklet in his hand for no reason.
Does this mean that someone is also investigating what happened back then, and they also got the opportunity before me and cousin Hitomi, and tore out the records in the book? Who knows the Duke of Fuguo's mansion so well, and can also enter the warehouse? , actually tore up the evidence right under the eyes of the Fuguo Palace. What did that person want to do
"Young Madam, I think I found Aunt Hu." The maid carried her on her back and looked inside the warehouse. She found nothing unusual about her and reminded her. Just then she heard someone inside shouting in surprise that she had found Hu. Grandma and others all ran over, presumably to authenticate.
"Well, okay." He put down the book in his hand, picked up an account book, and sat in front of the chair in despair, staring blankly at the words on the account book. What was surging in his mind were the questions that he had thought of before. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. The more frightened I become, the more I think about it, the more frightened I am. No matter who gets the evidence, they must have a purpose. What does he want to do
Are you harming the government of Fuguo? Why!
What use is it to others to dig out an old past incident? My aunt is now dead, and my grandmother is old. She is over thirty years old. It is not short-lived. The late emperor was still on the throne at that time. I wonder if the current emperor is not good enough. After investigating, why are there still people paying attention, and they also found the Fu Guogong Mansion.
What does he want to do with such powerful means!
No, you must tell Tong'er that someone has already taken advantage of this matter and let her think of a solution!
"Second Aunt Grandma has found it, is it this one?" Aunt Hu happily spread out the scroll in her hand and placed it in front of Luo Mingzhu to report the merit.
"Yes, this is it. Thank you, Aunt Hu, for asking someone to wrap it for me!" Luo Mingzhu nodded, flipped through the account book in her hand, and handed it to her maid casually, asking her to put it in the cupboard.
"Mother Hu, are you really tidying up this wing of yours?"
"Yes, the Second Madam trusts me. How dare I be lazy? Moreover, these things are also the personnel relations of the house. Of course I have to do my best to organize them myself. Many of the account books correspond to the things in the warehouse, so there is no room for sloppiness!" Aunt Hu She said proudly that she was Grandma Qu's confidant, and this place was her office.
"Is there anyone else who usually comes?" Luo Mingzhu stood up and asked.
"Of course there is no one. Usually I am the only one here, but sometimes the lady comes to look for something. When the slave asks the lady to wait, the lady will sit here and look through the books in boredom." Aunt Hu followed with a smile. Luo Mingzhu walked out. Halfway there, she remembered that the door of her cupboard was not closed. She immediately turned around and told Luo Mingzhu to take leave and went to close the cupboard.
Luo Mingzhu slept in the garden where she had been before she got married. Over there, Mo Xuetong also "took lessons" from Mrs. Qu and chatted with the old lady who had just woken up from her nap for a while before joining Luo Mingzhu. After saying goodbye and going out, the two of them were on the road, but Luo Mingzhu had to take a big detour.
Just like when she came, she sent all the maids to another car. Luo Mingzhu told Mo Xuetong the matter with a heavy face, especially the torn notes. Luo Mingzhu was worried about Zhongzhong. He said: "Cousin Tong, what should we do now? There are no clues over there!"

She had no idea at this time, she only looked at Mo Xuetong, and unknowingly regarded Mo Xuetong as her backbone!
"Second cousin, are the traces where the booklet was torn very new, as if it was not long after it was torn?" Mo Xuetong raised her watery eyes and asked Luo Mingzhu seriously.
Although Luo Mingzhu didn't know why she asked, she still thought about it carefully, nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, the book has been there for a while, and the face is yellow, but the torn square , the color is much lighter, obviously it was just torn apart.”
Some people are hiding that past event, or want to expose that past event... (To be continued)
