The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter should not be taken lightly, and suddenly pointed to the northwest corner of the flower hall and said: "Mother, Yue'er just thinks that there is another decoration here." She took the initiative to ask Ying coquettishly, "Mother, can you let Yueer Do you want to go to the warehouse to pick?"
Lin has always been unprincipled towards her daughter, so she nodded immediately, "Okay, okay." As he said that, he gave Yanniang a wink and asked her to give Nangong Yue the pair of cards in the warehouse.
"Third Miss..." Yanniang wanted to accompany Nangong Yue to the warehouse, but was hurriedly called away by a servant. She owed behind her back, and retreated.
Nangong Yue looked at the pair of cards in her hand, and walked out of Rong'an Hall with Yimei. Yimei thought that Nangong Yue was going to the warehouse, but found that she was going in the wrong direction, "Third Miss, isn't this..."
"Let's go back to Mozhuyuan first."
After Nangong Yue said this, Yimei didn't ask any more questions.
After the master and the servant returned to the Black Bamboo Courtyard, Nangong Yue went into the room to fetch some things, and then called Que'er again.
The warehouse in the inner courtyard is located in the southwest corner of the mansion, and it is managed by an old lady Qi in the mansion on weekdays. This Mrs. Qi also came from Su's Rong'an Hall, so she was able to get such an important and free job.
When Mrs. Qi saw Nangong Yue coming, although she was very surprised, she still warmly greeted her, "Hello, Miss San! Why do you come to the warehouse when you have time?"
Nangong Yue signaled Yimei to take out her pair of cards, and at the same time said calmly, "My mother has been very busy recently, so I'll be her helper. I came here specially today to choose another vase to put in the flower hall."
After checking the pair of cards, Mrs. Qi smiled more attentively, "Third Miss, follow me." Then she took out a bunch of keys and opened the door of the warehouse.
The warehouse hadn't seen sunlight for many years, and it was dark inside, but it wasn't humid. A faint musty smell came over her face, making Nangong Yue frown slightly, and hurriedly took out a veil to cover her nose.
"Third Miss, the vases are all inside." Mrs. Qi led them the way familiarly.
Nangong Yue looked around pretending to be curious, and asked about the origin of certain objects from time to time. Mrs. Qi flipped through an account book in her hand, and answered attentively.
Nangong Yue was calm on the surface, but there was already a huge wave in her heart. She guessed right, not only the ten Arhats famille rose vase with on-glazed wax gourd on the ground floor vase was a fake, she looked halfway and found that there was also a smoker, two large and small vases were also fakes, and some rolled up vases. She couldn't see clearly the calligraphy and paintings and the things hidden in the corners, so she couldn't confirm them.
This matter is really troublesome. In less than half a month, it will be my grandmother's birthday, and there will definitely be more fakes that will be accidentally displayed. The maids and women who work in this mansion have no eyesight or insight, so naturally they can't tell the truth from the fake.
But on the day of the birthday banquet, many dignitaries will definitely come, and some of them must be able to recognize the fakes. The birthday banquet held by the huge Nangong Mansion is mixed with fakes. A topic after dinner in the Royal Capital Family!
And grandma always loves face the most, she will be furious at that time, and my mother will definitely not escape the crime!
The more Nangong Yue thought about it, the more frightened she became, her eyebrows twitched, and her heart was a little anxious. No! She has to find a way to get her mother out!
But who made the package
Nangong Yue's first suspicion was Mrs. Qi who was in charge of the warehouse!
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, and she suddenly stopped in front of a large vase that fell to the ground in the misty mountains and seas of clouds, and nodded with satisfaction, "This floor-to-ceiling vase is not bad."
Mrs. Qi immediately came over, flipped through the account book and said, "Miss San, you have a good eye. This was a gift from the old man on his 40th birthday. The old man loved it very much..." The old man she was talking about was naturally Nangong Yue's grandfather, Nangong Hao, has passed away.
"Then this..." Nangong Yue casually tapped the large floor-standing vase, and at the same time shook the handkerchief in her palm twice at Mrs. Qi, and a little white powder floated out and flew into Mrs. Qi's nostrils , as her breath enters the bloodstream...
"The old lady is calling for someone..." At first, Mrs. Qi should be energetic, but gradually, she became dazed and stood there blankly, rolling her eyes.
"Mrs. Qi..." Yimei noticed her strange behavior and was about to step forward, but Nangong Yue raised her hand to signal her not to move.
Yimei is honest, she immediately stood there.
Nangong Yue waved her finger in front of Mrs. Qi, and asked tentatively, "Mrs. Qi, what's your name?" Mrs. Qi fell for her homemade rosemary, which was different from ordinary rosemary. The rosemary powder made by Nangong Yue has the function of temporarily paralyzing the nerves and causing nervous confusion. Therefore, after ordinary people are recruited, they can answer whatever others ask, and they are more honest than ever. When they wake up, their memory will be a little confused. Dazed, but unfortunately the effect of the medicine is only half a moment.
"I, my real name is Laidi. After entering the mansion, the old lady thought my name was not pleasant, so she gave me the name Zhilv." Mrs. Qi was in a trance, and even blurted out the country name she hadn't said for many years.
Nangong Yue was very satisfied with this. Knowing that the medicine was effective, she seized the time and continued to ask: "Mrs. Qi, I found a few fakes in this warehouse, but you replaced them secretly?"
Before Mrs. Qi could answer, the expressions of Yimei and Que'er behind Nangong Yue had already changed drastically, their eyes filled with surprise and fear. It is a felony for this servant to steal from his master!
Mrs. Qi looked confused, her eyes glazed over, "I've never done it before."
"Then do you know who it is?" Nangong Yue asked again.
Mrs. Qi replied blankly: "I don't know, I have only been in charge of the warehouse for a year, and I haven't opened the warehouse a few times."
Nangong Yue's eyes darkened slightly. Since Mrs. Qi said so, she must not be her. A person who has fallen victim to rosemary will not lie, unless this person has a will that is different from ordinary people and has suffered inhuman ordeals... and It is impossible for an ordinary woman like Mrs. Qi to do it.
If it's not Mrs. Qi, then we have to start with Mrs. Qi's previous warehouse manager...they were still in their hometown at that time. Although it is not impossible to check, it is not possible to get the results in a few days.
Nangong Yue pondered for a while, then suddenly thought of something, took the account book from Mrs. Qi's hand, quickly flipped through a few pages, and then handed the account book back to the other party, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
After a while, Mrs. Qi finally woke up slowly, her eyes were in a trance, and she didn't know where she was for a while.
"Mrs. Qi, I thought about it for a while. This big vase with the misty mountains and seas of clouds doesn't fit the overall style of the flower hall now, so I don't want it for now. I'll think about it carefully when I go back." Nangong Yue said nonchalantly, "Today I really trouble you."
"Where is it, this is the mother's business." Qi Qi said flatteringly, completely forgetting the strange feeling just now.
