Hongluan dawdled, grabbed Xiaocui, who was in the same room, and glanced at the earrings in her hand.
"Xiao Cui, we have worked together for so long, and we have a deep sisterhood. If I get better in the future, I will never forget you."
Xiao Cui shuddered subconsciously, and directly clutched the earring tightly in her palm, she was not stupid, Xiao Concubine was looking for earrings in such a big way, there must be something else.
She doesn't want to be a scapegoat.
"Xiao Cui, you also know that Miss trusted me the most before. If I become a maid in the future, I will definitely promote you."
Xiao Cui almost let go, and gritted her teeth, at worst she would get a board.
"What are you waiting for? Miss Nine is still waiting, a punishment will be inevitable later!"
A maid passed by the door and said in a hurry, Xiaocui's whole body trembled, and she clenched her hands tightly again.
"Hongluan, let's go quickly, don't keep Miss waiting for too long."
Xiaocui ran away without waiting for Hongluan to react, her heart almost jumped out.
Hong Luan froze for a moment, seeing that she was about to succeed, but Xiao Cui ran out, stomping her feet, "Xiao Cui!"
Xiaocui ran very fast, afraid of being chased by Hongluan. Miss Jiu's temperament is that it is good to like someone who is wrong, but it is useless to not like someone.
Just like Hongluan, Miss Nine clearly hated her, Xiao Cui made up her mind not to have anything to do with Hongluan anymore.
Xiao Concubine stood on the porch and waited for half an hour, and all the maids in the yard also left and returned, and there were still a few people missing.
Xiao Concubine was not in a hurry, Hongxiu moved a chair for Xiao Concubine to sit on the porch, squinting her red lips and squinting under her eyes.
Seeing Hong Luan walking slowly, his expression tightened, showing a hint of sarcasm.
Hong Xiu glanced at the maidservant under her eyes, "Miss, it's all set."
Xiao Concubine stood up, a pair of beautiful eyes flashed sharply, she squinted at Hongxiu, Hongxiu nodded, looked around at the lowly person, getting closer and closer to Hongluan, Hongluan's heart was beating wildly.
Hongxiu grabbed Hongluan's hand, "Take it out, let me see!"
Hongluan clenched tightly, Hongxiu sneered, thinking of Hongluan eating inside and out, she immediately became angry, and directly broke Hongluan's palm.
"Hongxiu, you and I are sisters anyway, you can't bully me just looking at me down and out now, you forgot, I took care of you..."
Hongluan said in a low voice, and Hongxiu smiled when she heard the words, "Our private affairs are one yard for one yard, and I don't dare to delay the things that the young lady ordered."
With a snap, a pearl earring fell to the ground.
Hong Xiu bent down to pick it up, glanced at Hong Luan and then ran to Xiao Concubine, Hong Luan's face turned pale.
"Miss, only Hongluan only has one in her hand."
Hongluan's mind turned quickly, and she immediately stood up, "Miss, I went to pick chrysanthemums last night, maybe I fell into the chrysanthemum picking room."
"You're talking nonsense, you didn't even come to see me last night." Caiju said.
"When I went, you happened to be away." Hongluan straightened her neck, Caiju choked, and Hongluan was a little proud, Caiju is a fool, how can she compete with herself
Concubine Xiao stood up and cast her eyes at Hongluan, "Then tell me, when did you go to Caiju yesterday, who can testify, what is the purpose of going to Caiju?"
Hongluan was stunned for a moment, her mind was spinning quickly, "It was during dinner, and the maidservant took advantage of the time to go to the chrysanthemum picking place, wanting to find out how Miss is doing recently. Xiaocui and Xiaowen can all testify."
As Hongluan spoke, she raised her head with aggrieved expression on her face.
Xiaocui and Xiaowen raised their heads and met Xiao Yu's eyes that were as cold as ice, they were shocked and felt a chill down their backs.
"Miss, servant..."
Concubine Xiao snorted, "It's a coincidence. Where have you been working, Hongluan, this morning? And who is the supervisor?"
One of the women stood up, "Miss Hui, she is a servant girl. Hong Luan is in charge of cleaning the courtyard and has not left."
As she said that, the woman glanced at Hong Luan, Hong Luan breathed a sigh of relief, and cast a very grateful look.
Concubine Xiao looked at Xiaocui and Xiaowen again, "Where are you two, you want to testify for Hongluan?"
Xiaocui and Xiaowen looked at each other, then nodded, "Yes, Hongluan is indeed the chrysanthemum-picking room I went to last night."
Concubine Xiao nodded knowingly, "No wonder, the clothes and jewelry that Miss Ben left at Caiju's place this morning are all gone, Hongxiu, take someone to search!"
Hong Xiu understood, nodded and went with the two clever little maids.
Xiaocui and Xiaowen were stunned, Hongluan's heart sank, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.
After a while, Hongxiu held a tray in his hand, on which were some pearl and hairpin jewelry, some of which were already damaged.
Caiju is clever and quick to respond, "Isn't this the jewelry that the young lady asked the servants to take for refurbishment?"
Hong Luan looked along the line of sight, a tray was full, and quickly turned the corner.
Hongxiu said quickly, "Miss, I found this from the rooms of Hong Luan, Xiaocui Xiaowen, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang."
Hongluan plopped down and knelt down, "Miss, this servant was wronged, miss, you know this servant, how could this servant do such a thing."
The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched, "Except for you, no one else went to Caiju's house last night, who else is it?"
Hongluan shook her head, the two servant girls were already scared to death, how could there be such things in their room
"It's her! It must be her!" Hongluan pointed at Hongxiu, "Miss, don't be fooled by Hongxiu, she has been talking bad about you behind her back, with bad intentions, the servant is wronged, Hongxiu must not want the servant to come back Go to Miss and compete with her for favor, Miss, you must never believe Hongxiu's words."
Hongxiu was stunned for a moment, it was the first time she had turned against Hongluan, she glanced at Concubine Xiao's expression, and closed her lips, she believed that the young lady could make her own decision.
Escalating bullying to pick chrysanthemums to stealing in the house, this crime is not something that ordinary little maids can bear.
"Miss, there are no servants, it must be wronged."
The two maids shouted, and Mrs. Zhang was also stunned for a moment, how could she involve herself in it.
"Miss, it's the servant girl's fault. She was too careless. Hongluan was your big maidservant before, so she must know your daily preferences. Unfortunately, she lost it when she came yesterday. It's useless as a servant girl."
Caiju stood up, Hongluan was so angry and anxious that she wanted to tear her mouth.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Concubine Xiao looked at Caiju, but nodded in satisfaction, how could the person she fancy be a fool.
Thoughtful, what he said really made people unable to refute and find no excuses.
good!
Hongluan wished to bite off her own tongue, she knew that she shouldn't have trouble picking chrysanthemums, what a coincidence, Hongluan anxiously looked at Xiao Concubine, but Xiao Concubine's sudden hatred sent a chill down her spine , forgot to react.
