When the maids heard this, you looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't make a sound.
Gu Xiran murmured: "Why, you didn't open your mouth. Could it be that there is something hidden?"
"There is no secret," Zhang Hanfang categorically denied, and only said: "My maids are also asleep, and no one is left to watch the night."
If you ask her again, she will definitely not be able to find out why. Shu Huan glanced around at the people behind Zhang Hanfang, and finally said to Mama Ding: "Mama Ding, do you know? Tell me."
Mama Ding originally came to serve Gu Xihe in another courtyard, but Gu Xihe didn't take her with her when she returned, and kept her as an servant in Fufuzhai. Seeing Shu Huan calling her now, she left behind , looked at Zhang Hanfang with those old eyes, and then said slowly: "It's not easy to say."
Gu Xiran stared at her: "Tell me the truth"
"Hey—" Ding's mother said helplessly: "I said girl, don't be angry. I heard that the girl is very popular in the middle of the night and recites poems in front of the window. I think I wrote a few sentences and thought of something better. I put the original poem on a candle and burned it, but when I threw it out, I didn’t throw it in a proper place, and the curtain was ignited. When the girl went out to call for someone, the fire started to burn, but now the girl said she was asleep. The person who sent the message was wrong, and I don’t know what happened to my wife.”
Gu Xiran nodded his head ponderingly, and then said angrily: "Then it's too abominable to investigate these servants, those who set fires, those who set fire, those who tell lies, who simply want to murder the master's life and ruin the reputation of the master, such people must not If you let it go easily, if you find out, you will be punished again and again.”
In fact, Mother Ding was right. Zhang Hanfang tossed and turned to sleep tonight. She got up in the middle of the night and stared at the two oil-paper umbrellas to write poems about boudoir grievances. The fire was also caused by her. Although she did not admit it, she Still blushing, she reprimanded Mama Ding, "You're talking nonsense."
No one took her word for it.
Shu Huan only asked Mama Ding, "Is anyone hurt?"
"No, they all escaped in time."
Only then did Shu Huan smile slightly: "It's best if you don't hurt anyone, but you have to check whether it was an accident or intentional arson. Otherwise, there will be no next time, my cousin said, right?"
Zhang Hanfang glanced at her: "If you want to check it, you can check it, and ask me what to do? Make way, I want to go home"
Gu Xiran turned her body away and said, "Mother Ding, send the girl out."
Zhang Hanfang was startled, and then passed him by. The group of maids and nurses behind her hurriedly followed, but she was stopped by Gu Xiran: "You can't leave for the time being. I'll send someone to send you off after the matter is found out. You go back."
"Girl..." Guan's mother was a little anxious.
Zhang Hanfang also stopped when she heard the words, and said angrily, "Gu Xiran, what do you mean?"
"Cousin didn't understand?" Gu Xiran stood with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Although Fufuzhai is in another courtyard, the maids there are all brought by my cousin herself. If we want to investigate the fire, we should naturally look at them. Check it out."
Setting fire to a relative's house was not a small matter, and there was no reason why she should stop it from being investigated. Zhang Hanfang was also a little flustered, but the more panicked she was, the more she wanted to evade responsibility, and she said arrogantly: "Then you I'm not even qualified to check on my maid."
Shu Huan continued: "Then I will ask my cousin to check on her own. My cousin knows the nature of everyone here most clearly."
Zhang Hanfang choked, when something like this happened, she would have to explain it logically, but she was the one who set the fire, who would she ask to take the blame? Look at Gu Xiran and Shu Huan again, one is relaxed and the other is playing with the string of agarwood beads in her hand absent-mindedly. The slowest servant girl said: "It's her"
Anyway, she doesn't want this idiot for a long time, it's best to throw it out to take the blame
The little maid, who had always been slow-tempered, was accused, and she was in a daze for a while, and when she finally remembered to refute, someone had already spoken for her.
Mama Ding bared her leaking teeth and said, "Check it out again, girl. Xiaolan has always slept in the same room with us, and she was still asleep when the fire broke out. I pushed my wife for a long time before I woke her up. It will be her."
The little maid said slowly: "Yes, girl, I don't have the guts to do such a thing."
Zhang Hanfang didn't know who this little girl was sleeping with, but she hated Na Ding's mother for being talkative and throwing away all the good thoughts she used to think about her. At this moment, she gave her a bitter look and said angrily: "Then you should check it out." "
Shu Huan smiled: "It will be inconvenient late at night. Mama Ding, find an empty room and bring everyone in to rest overnight. Remember to lock the door and check again tomorrow morning."
Gu Xiran turned sideways and said: "Cousin, please, I will let Du Qiu take two people and send you back first."
Zhang Hanfang was taken aback: "Are you going to ask me to go back?"
Gu Xiran tried her best to be gentle and considerate: "Didn't my cousin say that she didn't want to stay any longer? I was afraid that I would embarrass you, so I didn't stay."
Zhang Hanfang was speechless.
If it was just a moment ago, she was forced to leave for the sake of face, but it doesn't matter if the maid is detained now, the most important thing is that even her nanny has been detained
"Girl..." Mama Guan also looked at her with pitiful eyes, because she knew that the fire was caused by Zhang Hanfang, and no one else could be found. Impatient, Gu Xiran will send them to the government, if no one arranges to send money, then beating and torture will be unavoidable.
Zhang Hanfang was still very dependent on this nanny who had taken care of her since she was a child, so she naturally didn't want to leave her behind, and she couldn't bear to be called like this again, so she softened her voice and said, "I don't want to do this. I'm going to investigate, anyway, I took everyone away, if something like this happens again in the future, it's my house that was burned, and it has nothing to do with you."
Shu Huan rubbed the agarwood beads in his hand and said: "Cousin, don't make it difficult for us. There is no division in the family, and the properties of the other courtyard are all counted in the public account. Suddenly, the house is burned down. Even if the prince doesn't ask, the rest of the family will If you feel dissatisfied, you have to find out the reason before you can explain it."
Zhang Hanfang didn't bother to listen to her common saying: "Don't you just burn a Fufuzhai, how much is it worth? Your Gu family has a big business, why are you showing such a poor look?"
These words really made people angry, Shu Huan originally just wanted to find out the confession, so as to get out of the matter, now that Zhang Hanfang doesn't care about money so much, then don't save money for her
She smiled slightly and said: "That's right, I haven't seen any money since I was a child, and my eyelids are shallow. The money for repairing this Fufuzhai is enough for my natal family to live on for a lifetime. Thinking about it, I feel distressed and panic. If I take this responsibility and ask me to pay for it, then I can’t even pay for it. Since my cousin doesn’t take this money seriously, I’ll trouble you to pay it. Anyway, it’s your Zhang family’s who burned Fufuzhai Maid, it's not a waste of money."
The Zhang family is rich, but Zhang Hanfang is a girl who has not left the court, so she is particular about food, clothing and housing. In fact, she doesn't have much spare money, only a few months or so, otherwise she wouldn't be interested in a bunch of agarwood She had to go back to her mother to ask for money to buy the beads, so when Shu Huan said this, she was completely stunned and didn't know how to get it back.
