"Qiuning, what's wrong with you?" Jin Fengju stood up quickly and saw that there was not even a trace of blood on Fu Qiuning's face. He was shocked and hurriedly helped his wife sit on the couch. He was about to call the lotus jasper to find the doctor. He felt his sleeve being grasped by his lover, turned his head, and heard Fu Qiuning asking as if he was struggling to squeeze out each word through his teeth: "What did you just say? Is this a coral stone?"
"Yes, this vermilion coral stone is rare. It is often paid tribute to other countries... Qiuning, what did you remember?" Jin Fengju was not a fool. After hearing Fu Qiuning's words, even if he had not thought of it before, now He immediately became enlightened, grabbed Fu Qiuning's hand, and said excitedly: "Qiuning, do you know who owns this earring?"
Fu Qiuning said: "Master asked me to think about it carefully. There must be this coral stone thing in Fengya Building, but I was allergic to it when I wore it. At that time... yes, I... I remembered that Aunt Huo once gave me a few gifts." Boxes of jewelry, one of which contains a pair of coral stone earrings." She cast her eyes on the earrings in Jin Feng's hand, and murmured: "At that time, Jian Feng and Yu Jie even said a few words, because I was allergic to wearing this. They were afraid that other maids would be waiting for grooming, so they put it at the bottom of the box. Speaking of which... I glanced at it in a daze at that time, and I felt that the pair of earrings also had long pendants, which were actually the same as this one. There’s just some resemblance.”
"Xiangmian? You said that Xiangmian gave you jewelry, and there were earrings like this in it?" Rao Shi Jinfengju has extraordinary concentration, and rarely loses his composure in front of others. At this time, he couldn't help but open his mouth and stare, in an extremely surprised manner. . He opened his palm again and stared at the earring, as if he wanted to burn a hole in it.
"Say it to me."
Suddenly the sound of picking lotus and jasper came from the door. Jin Fengju and Fu Qiuning looked back and saw that the two maids looked unhappy. They said softly: "Grandma just called out. Let's come over quickly. We wanted to come in and see what happened." What happened? I finally heard what my grandma and grandpa said, and now I remembered that Aunt Huo seemed to have such a pair of earrings, but she didn’t come to the study room for such a long time. We didn’t remember it very clearly, or we just felt like it. When she came here, this red coral stone was very conspicuous, but we didn't know what it was at that time."
Fu Qiuning saw that Jin Fengju's complexion turned from red to iron blue, and then turned pale. She couldn't help but wink at Jasper Lotus. After they retreated, she supported Jin Fengju and said softly: "Don't feel so uncomfortable now. Don't worry." She said that Cai Lian Jasper and I are still not sure about it, but even if we are, it may not be a big deal. Maybe Aunt Huo just wanted to clean up the study for me, so this earring fell into it.
Jin Fengju looked at Fu Qiuning for a long time before he let out a breath and shook his head: "There is something I haven't told you all this time. Not only you, but even the lotus jasper doesn't know about it. Do you still remember that I Going to the border to work as a soldier?"
Fu Qiuning said: "But that time this summer? Why don't you remember? I was very busy at that time. My father left for more than two months. I only worried about my family. Fortunately, we often exchanged letters. , otherwise everyone will really panic."
Jin Fengju nodded and said, "Yes, it was that time. After I came back, I heard from the servant guarding the study that they heard a noise coming from the study after their shift. They felt strange, so they pierced the window paper and looked in, but they didn't see anything. What, I just thought it was a rat at the time. However, the study was kept clean and no rats had ever been seen coming in or out. The servants were also quite smart. From then on, they stayed outside even when changing shifts. No matter day or night, they refused to have any free time. Wait until I come back."
Fu Qiuning took a breath of air. Aunt Huo's earrings fell in the study room. If she had to pick them out, it could be said that she accidentally dropped them while clearing the bookshelf. In fact, this is outrageous. Jin Fengju didn't even let the bookshelf be moved to collect lotus and jasper. He always did it himself. That is, he came today, so he asked himself to help clean it up. How could he let Aunt Huo clean it up
And now Jin Fengju said something like this again, which was almost equivalent to saying: Aunt Huo was the mouse, and Jin Fengju suspected that she was responsible for the noise. But Jin Fengju left home, his study was locked, and no one had the key. How did Aunt Huo get in? Why did she come in at that time? There's no way it's for cleaning the bookshelves.
Thinking of this, he sighed. No wonder Fengju's face looked so ugly just now. If all these speculations are true, how could he bear it? He had always suspected that there was a mole in this house, but after checking it several times, nothing came to an end. At that time, he and Jin Fengju thought that the mole was well hidden, but they didn't think about it. With Jin Fengju's ability, the mole would not be able to detect the mole unless there were even a few clues. None, otherwise how could it not be found out? Now that I think about it, the reason why several thorough investigations found nothing is because the mole is not among the servants.
What is the most intolerable thing for men? It is his wives and concubines who share the same bed with him. On the surface they are very loving, but deep down they are thinking of other men. Although Jin Fengju no longer loves Aunt Huo, Jiang Wanying and others as much as before, the family relationship of "one day for a husband and a hundred days for a couple" is still there. Qiu Ning, however, did not treat the others lightly. If Aunt Huo had betrayed her because of his absence for so many days, it would be easier to say. But what if she didn't marry with any purpose in the first place? No wonder Jin Fengju's face looked so scary after he just guessed the result.
"If the person who sneaked into this study was really Xiangmian, and if the earrings fell off at that time, then I really underestimated her scheming."
Fu Qiuning was thinking wildly in his mind when he heard Jin Fengju sneer and stand up holding the earring. At this time, his face was not only pale, but even his clear eyes were filled with murderous intent. Fu Qiuning had never seen him look so ferocious and angry, and he didn't know where to start even if he wanted to persuade him.
But Jin Fengju said calmly: "Qiu Ning, let's go back to Fengya Building, show me that earring. Yes, I remember that there seemed to be a thief in Fengya Building a few days ago, and many things were messed up, but... You didn’t lose anything valuable, right?”
"Why did you think of this now?" Fu Qiuning was confused and murmured: "What do I mean? There is no shortage of jewelry, just a few worthless gadgets. If it weren't for Jian Feng is so careful that he can't even remember it..." After she finished speaking, she stopped suddenly. Jin Fengju saw that she kept her mouth open and spoke without even moving her eyes, so he sighed and said: "You have figured it out, right? Qiu Ning, if it is as we guessed, Xiangmian's plan is really good Perfect and vicious at the same time.”
"More than just viciousness, if I hadn't been allergic to coral stone, and if I hadn't put the coral stone earrings under the box, this would have been a desperate plan." Fu Qiuning was trembling all over at this moment, not sure whether it was fear or anger. Suddenly Jin Fengju hugged her and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything."
"If her plan succeeds, will you believe me?" Fu Qiuning turned her eyes. If Jin Fengju answered that she believed it, she planned to kick him out. If Jin Fengju said that he would believe him without hesitation, he would definitely be lying with his eyes open.
"I will be suspicious, but I will not wrongly accuse you casually. I will investigate this matter carefully, Qiuning. Even if I doubt you for a moment, I will clear your name. Do you understand? Do you... believe me or not?" Jinfeng raised his hand. He held Fu Qiuning's hand and saw that she nodded after a long time. He tightened his arm tightly again, so that Fu Qiuning could feel his determination, and said firmly: "So, don't be afraid, I will handle everything."
Seeing the two people leaving together, Jin Ming, who was ordered to stay here, approached the lotus picking jasper and whispered: "What happened? The faces of Mr. Kan and Second Grandma Ning are very ugly."
Cai Lian Jasper didn't dare to offend Jin Fengju's close confidant, so he forced a smile and said, "Butler Jin, there's no need to ask us. I will explain this to you sooner or later, but we can't say it out of our mouths." After that, the two of them said it. They bowed and went to the room. Jin Ming only heard them whispering about something like "No wonder... I always want to tidy up the bookshelf... I have said it several times... Insinuations to complain about us..." and the like, and he became more and more confused. .
Here Jin Fengju and Fu Qiuning returned to Fengya Building. Because Yu Jie was about to get married, Jian Feng and several maids were looking at the sewing work she had arranged. When they heard that Fu Qiuning was back, Yu Jie hurriedly put down her sewing and went out with Jian Feng.
"Jian Feng, since that time we found that the jewelry was messed up, has anything like this happened again?"
As soon as Fu Qiuning asked such a question, Jian Feng knew something was wrong. Looking at her and Jin Fengju's expressions, they both looked very ugly. He quickly put away his smile and replied cautiously: "As for me and grandma, I haven't found anyone turning over those things these days. Everything is under personal supervision by me, Qiu Shuang Qiuyu and the others."
Fu Qiuning nodded and entered the back room. Sure enough, he found Qiu Yu sitting there. When he saw them coming in, he quickly stood up and said: "No one dares to leave this room for a moment now, and those little girls and slaves are not worried. Their eyelids Ziqian, I might be able to frighten you with something novel."
Jian Feng smiled and said: "No, grandma asked me just now if anything happened these days. I said no, we will take care of it personally..." Before he finished speaking, Qiu Yu said: "Why not? Qian'er Because I heard the two little girls arguing behind me, I went out and scolded them a few times. When I came back, I saw an open box. Maybe the person was in a hurry and didn't even close the seams properly. I opened it and looked at it, and found that Except for the messy clothes above, there is not much missing... "
