"What happened?" The second owner and the shopkeeper Wang came over, and it was the second owner who asked the question.
Er Dong's family just went to the opposite bank to exchange money. As soon as they entered the lobby, they heard the storekeeper Wang say that the daughter of the Houfu had lost something in the Huichun Hall, so he and the storekeeper Wang searched together, but unexpectedly saw this scene in the wing room.
This wing room is a lounge specially prepared for Gu Jiao. Although Gu Jiao doesn't use it much, usually no one would break in. When the maid said "stole my lady's things", they still regarded them as the little thief. Hide in.
As a result, the two found that there were only two people in the wing, the maid of the Hou residence and Miss Gu.
So, is the little thief in the maid's mouth the girl Gu
The little girl didn't know Gu Jiao, and when she saw the second owner and the shopkeeper Wang coming, she immediately pointed at Gu Jiao and said, "You guys came just in time! It was this thief who stole my young lady's jade pendant! She also stole my little son's jade pendant. Fingers!"
The second owner was stunned: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding? She won't steal anything!"
How could a little girl steal something? She can freely enter and leave his account, and she has never touched so many valuables in the account.
Moreover, the little girl's eyes are magnanimous. If she is really caught by a thief, she will not even have a trace of guilt.
Shopkeeper Wang didn’t think so. Although he didn’t go to Hou’s mansion with him that day, he heard from the second owner and the old doctor later that it was Miss Gu who rescued Young Master Gu, and she had a chance to steal Young Master’s jade finger.
In addition, the daughter of the Houfu had just returned to Chuntang today, and the jade pendant was stolen and appeared on Gu Jiao's table, so the shopkeeper Wang couldn't think about it.
The little girl was angry: "What do you mean she won't steal things? Do you mean that I'm wronging her? What kind of thing is she, it's worth me running all the way to wrong her!"
These words are not pleasing to the ears, but they are not rough. The little maid is a servant of the Hou Mansion, and her status is more noble than that of the young ladies of many large families. If she wants to be framed, she has to find someone with a decent identity. Gu Jiao is a small village. Gu is like an ant on the ground, she won't make a special trip to step on her if she's crazy.
Unless she really stole something from the Hou Mansion.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? There are many things in this world that are the same." Er Dongjia still firmly believed that Gu Jiao was innocent.
"Am I wrong?" The little maid laughed angrily, "Do you think the accessories my young lady and son use are some kind of rotten street thing? This jade pendant was rewarded by the palace, and your entire Hu family can't afford to buy it after going bankrupt!"
Er Dong's face turned pale for a moment, if it was such a precious thing, it really couldn't be Gu Jiao's, but he still didn't believe that Gu Jiao would steal: "You're not allowed to have fakes?"
Maybe the thing in the girl's hand is fake!
Shopkeeper Wang glanced at Er Dong's family worriedly. Er Dong's family had no doubts about Gu Jiao, which would undoubtedly offend the Hou Mansion. He didn't want Er Dong's family to have an accident.
Just when he considered his tone and planned to persuade Gu Jiao to admit his crime and not offend the Hou Mansion, Gu Jiao said lightly, "It's not fake, it's real."
"Listen to you! She admitted it!" said the little maid fiercely.
"Yuru."
A soft and noble voice sounded slowly from outside the door.
"Miss! You're here!" The little maid hurriedly changed her look of respect and saluted the girl.
The girl wearing the dark-colored curtain fence walked in slowly with the soap yarn and skirt of the curtain fence, combing the clouds and sweeping the moon, with all manner of manners.
She used the fragrance powder that only noble ladies in the capital could afford, and the fragrance floated gently between the lotus steps, and the whole room became pleasantly scented.
"Ah!" Gu Jiao sneezed.
She is allergic to this powder.
The little maid glared at Gu Jiao angrily, seeing that her young lady was rude, and even dared to sneeze rudely.
The girl said in her usual tone: "This jade pendant cannot be fake. The jade used in it is Kun goat fat jade. In Zhao country, only the royal family has the right to mine it. It is a serious crime to counterfeit the objects used by the royal family, not to mention that it cannot be imitated exactly. ."
"Oh." Gu Jiao touched her chin.
"You, what's your attitude?" The little girl continued to stare at her, but because of the presence of the daughter of the Houfu, she was not as domineering as before.
The girl looked at Gu Jiao and said warmly, "Are you that little drug boy?"
"Yeah." Gu Jiao replied, without asking how she guessed it, it wasn't difficult to guess after all.
The girl said unhurriedly: "Give the jade pendant to you, and return the jade wrench to me. I will pretend that this has never happened."
"Miss!" The little girl stomped her feet.
Shopkeeper Wang did not expect such an astonishing reversal of things. The daughter of the Houfu is really a lot of adults. Such precious things are given away as soon as they are given away, and they have not been publicized, which has preserved the reputation of Miss Gu and Huichuntang.
Seeing that Gu Jiao didn't speak, the girl continued: "The jade pendant is mine, you can take it if you like, but the jade finger is my brother's, I must take it back and return it to him."
Shopkeeper Wang was half-dead in anxiety, promise, promise!
Gu Jiao glanced at the girl expressionlessly and said, "Take the jade wrench back, and put the jade pendant down for me."
She had suspected that the Jade Wrench Finger belonged to the young master of the Hou Mansion, but now she has verified her guess.
She didn't explain that she accidentally slipped the jade finger into her sleeve when rescuing the young master. First, she couldn't tell the rescue process, and second, the master and servant would not believe it at all.
That being the case, why should she waste her lips
The girl said: "You are good at picking things. This jade ring finger is only of special significance to my brother. When it comes to value, it is indeed not as valuable as that jade pendant."
Gu Jiao said, "I returned the jade wrench to you because it really belongs to your younger brother. The jade pendant is not yours, so you must return it to me."
The little maid hummed: "It's not my master's, is it still yours? You don't pee and look in the mirror. Can you afford such a precious jade pendant?"
Girl: "Yuru."
The second owner frowned: "Girl, please be careful!"
"There's nothing you can do if you don't believe me." After Gu Jiao said, she stretched out her hand, "I'll say it one last time, return the jade pendant to me."
The little girl took a step back: "You are dreaming! This is my lady's!"
The girl squeezed her fingers, suppressed her anger, and said to Erdong's family: "Er-dong's family also saw what happened today, and she herself admitted that she committed theft, for the sake of your Huichuntang treating my brother's illness, I will not report it. Officer. But I hope this doesn't happen again in the future!"
Gu Jiao only admitted one thing from the beginning to the end: that is that the jade wrench is the young master's, and she didn't say that she stole it.
