As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the two maids who were kneeling on the ground.
Mrs. Ren frowned: "Can you hear it clearly? Why don't you call it in!" Her voice was not severe, and her expression was not cold enough, but it caused the teeth of the two maids to chatter. Because the rules in the Ronghua courtyard have always been very strict, the maids will suffer a lot if they violate the rules a little bit, and it is normal for them to be sold.
Mrs. Ren Wu glanced at the Liu'an family, her eyes turned slightly, and she suddenly asked Gui Momo with a smile: "If that's the case, the baggage must have been found? Why don't you take it out and see what it is."
Gui Momo's face was a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Ren Wu raised her eyebrows slightly: "What? Can't find the burden that the old lady said?"
Gui Momo lowered her head slightly: "Mrs. Hui Wu, the servants are looking for decent people, but they haven't been found yet."
With a look of anger on the fifth wife's face, she turned her head and said to the old lady, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that you have always loved Yaohua and Yaoyin more than Yu'er. My daughter-in-law also always taught Yu'er that the two older sisters are older and should be Be more pampered, we Yuer have always been sensible, treat sisters modestly and politely, never jealous. She has a dull temperament and does not please her daughter-in-law, but no cat or dog can bully her head, right? It's not a shadow. The incident was only exaggerated by an old and dim-sighted servant from the outer court, who wanted to use the opportunity to confuse the public to please the master. How can you believe it? Although these two maids are stupid, they are We, Yu’er, who serve close to you, have given them a reputation for stealing without any basis. This will make us Yu’er how to behave in the mansion in the future. How can we raise our heads in front of our brothers and sisters?”
The fifth wife spoke and the tears came, as if she were made of water.
The old lady Ren was a little unhappy when she saw it, and said lightly: "Okay! I haven't said anything yet! I just called the maids and old ladies to ask questions! You are so crying in front of the younger generation. What is it!"
The fifth wife took out the handkerchief and wiped it, but her tone was still a little uneven: "You haven't asked clearly, so you convicted our Yu'er's maid first. Obviously, she believed this old woman's open words. If you really don't like Yu'er, this granddaughter, I'll take her back and send her to Yunyang City to throw her to her grandmother! You should leave Yaohua here as a companion for your old man. She is articulate and personable. He is also clever and always pleases you."
"Mother... I'm not going to my grandmother's house..." Ren Yaoyu gently pulled on the fifth wife's clothes with a look of grievance.
The fifth wife gently pushed her daughter and scolded: "Who wants you to be sullen and not please the elders!"
Ren Yaoyu wiped away tears of grievance.
Seeing the blue veins jumping on their foreheads, the old lady Ren finally slapped the kang table with anger: "Who said that Yaoyu will be sent to Yunyang City! She is the granddaughter of my Ren family, and she is not going anywhere!"
The eldest Mrs. Ren saw that she was going to make trouble, so she won't stand up now, and when the old lady can't come down, she will have to settle the account with her, so she stepped forward to pull the fifth wife and her daughter, and said gently, "Who said that? The old lady doesn’t care about Yu’er anymore? If she doesn’t care about this granddaughter, can the old man take Yu’er by her side to discipline herself?” She lowered her head and softly comforted Ren Yaoyu, “Good boy, be good, don’t listen to your mother’s angry words. Who among the elders doesn't like that you are modest, polite, lively and lovely? Quickly persuade your mother."
The fifth wife saw that the eldest wife came out to smooth things out, and she knew the truth of closing it when she saw it, so she gradually closed her voice. His eyes were on the Lu'an family standing in the middle.
The eldest wife and the fifth wife have been concubines for many years, and she has always known her temperament, so she took the initiative to help her and said to the old lady: "Old lady, what the fifth younger sister said is not without reason. Early in the morning, the old lady is too old to look at the poor. It's not impossible. Why don't you ask Mama Gui to take someone to count the valuable things in the house and see if there is any missing? If there is nothing important, it must be a misunderstanding. "
The fifth wife also agreed at this moment: "The daughter-in-law also agrees to count the valuable things in this house. Let's see if it's our Yu'er's maid who is eating and crawling, or this cunning old woman is talking about it!"
The eldest lady looked at the old lady Ren inquiringly.
The old lady Ren turned her head and instructed Gui Momo: "You can take someone to check it out according to the list."
Gui Momo went in response.
After about half an hour, Guimao came back with a few big maids.
"Back to the old lady, I checked everything in the house against the booklet, and found nothing missing."
The fifth wife was instantly furious, and pointed at the restless Lu'an family and scolded: "How good you are, you have no masters! Is it because you look at us Yu'er's temperament and bully it? You don't slander other people's personal maids, but you do not slander them. You want to slander our Yu'er! Didn't you hit me in the face!"
Seeing that the old lady had tossed for so long, she came to such a result, and her face was also ugly. Just as she was about to speak, the Luan family, who was scolded by the fifth wife and almost buried her head in her neck, knelt down. , hastily defended the old lady Ren.
"Old lady is very aware, how can this servant dare to tell you such a lie to fool you? The servant has indeed seen it, and does not dare to lie."
Gui Momo frowned and said in a low voice, "Why do you want your masters to believe you without any evidence? Thankfully, I believed you and reported the matter for you. Now I'm going to be implicated by you."
Hearing the words of the Lu'an family, it seemed that he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Slave, there is a way for me to find evidence."
The fifth wife gritted her teeth angrily: "Are you trying to fool the masters again?"
The Lu'an family shook their head like a rattle: "No, no. It's the servant who knows that a woman in the outer courtyard has a dog, and her nose is very effective. A few days ago, their man was robbed of money when he left the house. The bag was picked up, and the dog led people to a family's house in a shabby alley five blocks away to find the money bag."
Everyone was surprised.
The old lady Ren said: "Is it really so smart?"
"If it doesn't work well, you will know if you ask the servant to try it. The servant will go to the outer courtyard to borrow a dog. Let it smell the two girls, and then follow it to the garden to find out." Liu Anjia said with a package ticket.
"Ridiculous! You can't find so many slaves, what's the use of a beast? Is it possible that an adult is not as good as that beast?" The fifth wife objected disdainfully.
The Liuan family hurriedly said: "The slave can guarantee that it will be successful. If it really can't be found in the end, the slave is willing to take the blame."
"Mother..."
The fifth lady turned her head to the old lady Ren and wanted to say something, the eldest lady glanced at the old lady, but suddenly brought the fifth lady to gently persuade, "Since this woman dares to make such an assertion, let her try it. Well. If you can't find it, the two maids will be innocent, so Yu'er's face will be saved. As for this lying woman... I will sell it at that time, and we will see who else dares to take care of the old lady in the future. Open mouth in front of you."
The fifth wife wanted to say something when she heard the words, but the old lady had already said: "Let her go! Let's see what tricks she can come up with. Yu'er is my granddaughter, I will naturally decide for her, and no one should think about her casually. Dirty water is poured on the girl's body!"
"Thank you old lady." The Lu'an family was overjoyed, kowtowed and thanked him before leaving.
"Slave, follow me to see?" Gui Momo asked for instructions.
The old lady Ren nodded and let her go.
After another quarter of an hour, the people in the room heard a dog barking outside, and they knew it was a big guy.
The juniors in the room all turned their heads curiously to look at the door curtain, but unfortunately they were blocked by the door curtain and could not see anything.
Only Ren Yaoyu's face was very panicked. Although the fifth wife's face was not good-looking, she still held back, and even winked at her daughter to make her feel calm.
After a while, Gui Momo lifted the curtain and came in. The barking of the dog outside was more clearly audible when the curtain was opened and closed.
"Old lady, please invite these two maids to go out and let the dog take a sniff."
The two maids turned pale when they heard the words, and looked at the fifth wife subconsciously.
The old lady Ren nodded, Gui Momo winked at the two old women behind her, and the two old women quickly stepped forward to mix with the two maids.
Seeing that they were a little unsteady, Gui Momo kindly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, although that dog looks big, it doesn't bite."
The two maids screamed in shock almost the moment they walked out of the main door. The people in the room were startled when they heard it, and the old lady's hand trembled when she went to hold the lid of the bowl.
"what happened!"
Gui Mammy has already rushed in and replied: "It's okay, it's okay, those two maids are timid. But it's better for the masters not to come out, so as not to be disturbed. That dog is so long." Gui Mammy used With a gesture of his arm, he had the length of a six- or seven-year-old child.
The eldest lady hurriedly instructed: "Arrange a few people to hold the door, and don't let the dog break in."
Gui Momo went in response.
The people in the house breathed a sigh of relief until the barking of the dog outside ran away.
This time, in less than a quarter of an hour, Gui Momo came back.
When she came in, she was carrying a Qiuxiang-colored bag, and walking behind her were two gray-faced maids who were supported and a sighed relief from the Lu'an family.
Eighth Miss Ren Yaoyu's face turned pale, and she pulled her mother's clothes tightly. The fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, immediately took her daughter's hand and glared at the two maids.
But the two maids were so frightened they couldn't feel her eyes.
