Yuan Qiu glanced at Zhao's mother: "Zhao's mother is also an old person in Zhuo's house, and she is the one who follows her. She must know most of the things in this house, right?"
Mother Zhao accompanied her carefully and said with a smile: "I know more or less, but I don't know what the second lady wants to ask?"
Yuan Qiu was also unambiguous and said directly: "I want to see my mother's dowry. Do you know this?"
Others, Mother Zhao, may not know it very well, but she knows everything about the things in the warehouse. Madam trusts her and asks her to supervise the work every time she counts the items in the warehouse. Once a year, this has happened many times. Moreover, she usually takes whatever the madam wants, so she knows very well what is in the warehouse.
Mother Zhao is not a confused person. Since the second young lady only asked her and not Mother Sun, she presumably already knew these things. There was no need for her to hide them anymore. She responded directly: "Everything is clear!"
Yuan Qiu nodded: "That's good, come with me!"
Yuan Qiu and Xing Fang followed Zhao's mother and went straight to the treasury.
When we arrived at the treasury, there was a woman who looked after the door. Seeing that it was the second young lady, the woman opened the door without saying much. Most of the treasury contained objects and uncommon ornaments, and cash was usually exchanged. The small amount of cash is in the small warehouse in the madam's main courtyard. There are only large items and some old jewelry that have not been used for many years.
Looking at the warehouse of three to four hundred square meters in front of me, it is filled with a dazzling array of objects, and the jade ring is only slightly larger than a fingernail. If you want to find the jade ring here, I am afraid it will only be better than finding a needle in a haystack.
She had already shown the jade ring to Xing Fang last night. Xing Fang knew what the second lady was looking for. After being stunned for a moment, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and started rummaging through the boxes.
This matter cannot be made public. If people know that they are looking for this thing, they will hide it from her even if they don't care, so only she and Xing Fang can do this.
Yuan Qiu sighed, rolled up his sleeves and started rummaging.
Seeing this situation, Zhao's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was ordered out by Yuan Qiu.
As soon as Mother Zhao left the door of the treasury, a little girl came in a hurry. When she saw that the Second Miss was not there, she pulled Mother Zhao aside and asked in a low voice: "Madam, you asked me to come and inquire. The Second Miss came to the treasury to think about it." do what?"
Mother Zhao shook her head: "They seem to be looking for something, but I don't know what they are looking for!"
The little girl nodded: "Then I will go back to Madam right now. Madam asked me to bring you a message. Stay well by Miss Second Lady. If anything happens, report it immediately. You will benefit from it in the future."
Mother Zhao felt contempt in her heart, but she didn't show any of it on her face. She smiled and said, "I know!" She even gave the second young lady the deed of betrayal, what other benefits could the madam promise her? snort-
Xia Yuanqiu and Xing Fang rummaged in the warehouse for three days, turning the entire warehouse upside down, but could not find the jade ring. She began to wonder if the jade ring had been taken away.
The worst thing is that this jade ring is not on the dowry list when her mother married into Zhuo Mansion. Even if she can't find it, she has no reason to blame anyone.
Yuan Qiu and Xing Fang were sitting in the courtyard in a daze, wondering if they should go to Chang Meifeng's courtyard to look around.
At this time, a girl from the main courtyard came to report: "Second young lady, the Marquis of Pingyang has come with his son. He wants to see you. The master and his wife asked the servant to invite the second young lady to the front hall."
