In the evening, Luqiao went to the pawn shop with the bracelet and earrings left by the third lady, pawned a bracelet and a pair of earrings, and left a bracelet on purpose. Holding the cashed silver, she stood guard at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing Prime Minister Zhong Liyi leave the court, as soon as she got off the sedan chair, she hurried to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The time was calculated just right, Lu Qiao was holding a large bag of silver, and bumped into Zhong Liyi's arms! The silver was spilled all over the floor, and even the other bracelet that was not pawned fell to the ground, and it was smashed into three pieces!
"Don't you have eyes?!" Zhong Liyi frowned and snorted coldly.
"My servant is wrong, my servant is wrong..." While apologizing, Lu Qiao exaggeratedly lay on the ground, quickly picked up the silver taels on the ground, and stuffed them into her bosom one by one, as if she didn't want Zhong Liyi to see it.
Zhong Liyi's eyes were sharp, and he fixed his eyes on the smashed bracelet.
That is a thousand year blood jade, very valuable!
When the third wife, An Ning, married him, she didn't even have any decent clothes on her body, except for two bracelets made of thousand-year-old blood jade, which were priceless! Back then, if she had sold the bracelet, she believed that her wedding would be very decent.
Zhong Liyi bent down, rushed ahead of Luqiao, picked up the fragment of the bracelet, and asked coldly, "This belongs to the third lady? Who told you to take it out..."
"This, this..." Lu Qiao faltered and couldn't speak.
"You stole the third lady's dowry?!" Zhong Liyi frowned and scolded, "You should know the rules of the prime minister's mansion! Those who guard themselves will be hung upside down on a locust tree and given two hundred lashes!"
Jin Qiu was beaten with dozens of lashes, if it wasn't for the ghost king, he would almost die!
If the two hundred whips go down, Lu Qiao will definitely die on the spot!
She was taken aback, and quickly defended herself, "No! No! Master, you misunderstood! These are the dowry left by the third wife to the third lady, and the third lady ordered the servants to take it! She originally let the servants all It was pawned, but the servant saw that she was reluctant, so she secretly left a bracelet, who knew... the servant was clumsy, and broke the bracelet! The servant really deserves to die!"
"Wan Yun asked you to pawn it?" Zhong Liyi was startled, "How is this possible?! These are her mother's dowry, she should hide it like a treasure, how can it be easily pawned?!"
"It's absolutely true." Lu Qiao nodded firmly, "If the master doesn't believe it, he can bring his slave to confront the lady face to face. If the slave tells half a lie, the slave is willing to be struck by lightning!"
Seeing her sincere expression, Zhong Liyi believed her, so he showed sullen expression, raised his voice and asked, "Why did your lady do this?! She stayed in the prime minister's mansion, and her food and clothing were arranged by Butler Zhang. There is a lot of money, isn't it enough for her to spend?!"
Luqiao lowered her head, "Actually, actually..."
Zhong Liyi didn't like his mother-in-law, so he yelled at her, "Say what you want!"
"Yes." After hearing this, Luqiao put down the silver taels in her hand, straightened up, walked to Zhong Liyi's side, whispered in Zhong Liyi's ear, and then said pitifully, "Miss, I have to remind you all the time, don't you?" Let the slaves tell others, master, you must keep it a secret from the slaves!"
Zhong Liyi's expression dimmed in an instant, and he said in a low voice, "Got it."
