Song Qingjin said: "Okay, mother, please rest assured. I'll take a look when I get back."

Mrs. Liu immediately said: "I'm not in a hurry to go back and watch it. I have ordered someone to boil hot water for you. You go back and take a bath before going to bed."

Song Qingjin glanced at the room, and replied with a smile: "Okay, mother. I'll go back and take a shower before I read the letter from my brother." Song Qingjin chatted with Liu Shi for a while, and after dinner together, she went to her smoke wave continent.Nanny Zhou sent her out as usual.At the gate of the courtyard, Song Qingjin turned around and said to her, "Nurse Zhou, what happened in mother's room recently?"

Nanny Zhou froze for a moment, and said, "What did Miss say? I don't quite understand."

Song Qingjin smiled slightly, and said, "Nurse, don't hide it from me. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Nanny Zhou looked back, and finally said: "Actually, Madam didn't let me tell Miss about this matter. But now that Miss has seen it out, let's talk about it."

Song Qingjin looked around and said, "Nurse Zhou, I have prepared some tea and snacks in my room. It just so happens that I haven't had a chance to talk to you since I returned home. Please come over with me now and talk to me." It won't be too late to come back at night!"

Nanny Zhou didn't expect Song Qingjin to be so polite to her, why didn't she agree, and immediately followed Song Qingjin to Yanbozhou.When they got there, Song Qingjin ordered Baoxue and Cuimeng to make tea, and Nanny Zhou took a sip and said, "The servant brought by Miss from the palace is also very good, I think they will serve you very well."

Song Qingjin smiled and said: "You can just drink it well. I came back soon, although I wanted to do my best for my mother, but I never had a chance. You are an old man in this mansion. Mother's affairs have nothing to do with this mansion. If there is anything I don't understand, I still need you to remind me, Mammy."

Nanny Zhou replied: "Miss, I also know that you care about Madam and Master. In fact, when the eldest son was here, the control of these servants was very strict, and the servants in the mansion were all clean. But recently the eldest son has something to leave. There are no tigers in the mountains, and these servants are all overturned now, and they can't be controlled."

Song Qingjin nodded slightly, waiting for Nanny Zhou to continue.Nanny Zhou continued: "Miss, you also know that the master is getting old now, and the madam is too good-natured, she is a Bodhisattva, many things pass by with one eye closed. I am also old, He was very strong in the past, but now he can’t say anything. In fact, it was okay at first, but the longer the eldest son has been away, the more courageous these people have become. Now they even dare to steal things from the wife’s room! "

Song Qingjin was a little surprised.Although such things as evil servants deceiving their masters have not been missing since ancient times.But I didn't expect such a thing to happen in a place as powerful as the Duke's Mansion.All the stolen things went to the mistress' room.Song Qingjin squeezed the cup tightly in her hand, and asked, "Did the mother send someone to check?"

Nanny Zhou said: "Madam lost two jade vases and three golden hairpins. I searched them this morning, and the jade pendant I didn't usually wear was gone. I sent someone to check, but there was no result."

Song Qingjin continued to ask: "Then did the mother investigate this matter? Or Madam Zhou, did you find anyone suspicious?"

Nanny Zhou replied honestly: "Cuiqiao and Xiaowen in the wife's room both said that the Xu family in the kitchen stole the things, but I don't think so."

Song Qingjin sneered and said, "It's understandable. But I think the one who reported the theft is the thief. I think it's better to start with the two people in the mother's room, that is, Cuiqiao and Xiaowen. .As for the Xu family, let’s talk about it first.”

Nanny Zhou thought for a long time, and said, "Then, according to Miss Yi, how should I investigate this group of talents?"

Song Qingjin said: "Stealing things from mother's house is not a trivial matter. It must not be indulged lightly." Song Qingjin thought for a while, and said: "Well, tomorrow morning, call all the servants in mother's palace to come over and hold Kneeling under the sun with a water basin in hand, without food, after a day, even if they are made of steel, they will have to confess."

Nanny Zhou didn't expect Concubine Song Qing to be so straightforward and merciless in handling things.But after much deliberation, Song Qingjin's proposal is indeed the most effective method at the moment.She got up and said, "Miss is very reasonable. This matter should be done in this way. I will bring all the servants here tomorrow."

Song Qingjin nodded and said, "Then there will be Nanny Lao. It's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer." She gave Nanny Zhou a slight nod.After she left, Song Qingjin asked Baoxue to put on the Anshen incense, unfolded the heart that her brother gave him, and read it carefully under the light.

When Song Qingjin was reading the letter, it was not difficult to read from the lines that her brother missed her and his eagerness to see her.But as the saying goes, seeing words is like face, from his words, it is not difficult for Song Qingjin to read that her elder brother is a strict and sensible person.No wonder Mother Zhou said to herself just now that when her eldest brother was in the mansion, these servants would not dare to be disobedient.It seems that what he said is indeed reasonable.

Baoxue and Cuimeng were waiting on the sidelines. Cuimeng looked at the smile on Song Qingjin's lips and said, "Why is Miss smiling so happily?"

Song Qingjin came back to her senses, looked at the two of them, and said, "I was thinking, luckily the prince sent you all here. Otherwise, I would be missing hands and feet. It just so happens that there are two side rooms behind this side, which are next to each other. Yes, the things and furnishings inside are the same, so you two can choose one to live in."

Both agreed.Song Qingjin asked them to sit down, and then said: "You two sit down, let's have a good talk."

Baoxue and Cuimeng sat down.Cuimeng said first, "I told Baoxue before that the girl looks different from us. I didn't expect that she is the daughter of the Duke of Lian."

Baoxue also nodded repeatedly, and said, "That's right, neither Cuimeng nor I have thought about this matter."

Song Qingjin smiled lightly, and said: "Actually, I didn't expect that either. But now that I have recognized my parents, what I think now is the same. When we were in the palace, the three of us supported each other. Now even if we come back here, it is the same." That's it. Don't worry, you two, when you reach your age, whether you want to be married in this mansion or go out to get married is up to you, and you can do whatever you want. "

Both Baoxue and Cuimeng laughed shyly.Song Qingjin thought for a long time, and said: "Okay, pack up and go to sleep, tomorrow I have to ask the servants in my mother's room who have a headache."

Before Song Qingjin went to sleep, under the thick bed curtain, she was still thinking about what Xiao Yixuan said to her.Xiao Yixuan said that he could tell that Xiao Yirong liked him, Song Qingmei turned over on the bed, she was not born with a high emotional intelligence, and she couldn't tell what she liked or not.I remember that when I was in the girl group, there were some [-]th-line stars and rich second generations who confessed or hinted to her in a vague way, but I basically never understood it.Sometimes he even needs his teammates to remind him.

Song Qingjin opened her hand and snapped her fingers lightly. She wanted to think about these things carefully, but in the end she couldn't resist the attack of sleepiness and fell asleep quickly.

Early the next morning, Song Qingjin got up early.It just so happened that it was Mrs. Li Xianggong's birthday, and Mrs. Liu was going to the Li Xianggong's mansion to attend the banquet that everyone in the court was ordered to attend.Song Qingjin didn't have to follow, after breakfast, she went to Liu's yard, called out all the servants, and watched them stand neatly in the yard.

Song Qingjin sighed first, and then said: "Recently, I heard that things were lost in my mother's house, and they were all valuable, and they could be sold for a lot of money. I called you here today because you are all suspicious. So we must first investigate and inquire. Stealing is not a trivial matter, if such things happen more and more in the future, our entire Lian Guogong Mansion will be messed up."

At this time, a servant said: "Miss, didn't someone say before that the person who stole something was from the Xu family in the small kitchen? Why don't you ask them, Miss?"

Song Qingmei sneered, and said, "Who said this, can you point out someone? Let me see." Song Qingmei asked Mother Zhou specifically yesterday, and there was something in her heart about the looks of the two girls, Cuiqiao and Xiaowen. Based on my general impression, I guess the person in front of me is Cuiqiao.

But Cuiqiao thought about it for a while, but she couldn't figure out who the person who said to steal was.Song Qingjin waited for her for a long time, then looked around the crowd again, and said, "There are so many people in the mother's room, it is not easy to steal things at will. If there are so many things stolen, people come and go, and some people will probably see them. If If you see something, tell it today, and naturally I will make the decision for you."

Cuimeng came up and said, "Did you hear what Miss said? Has anyone seen it, please tell me quickly."

Song Qingjin waited for half a day, but no one came out to speak.In fact, Song Qingjin didn't want to punish them or do kneeling or other things, but now it seems that there is no other way.She said: "Since everyone doesn't recognize it, and the things cannot be stolen by ghosts, then I can only put up the airs of being the master." Song Qingmei said while waving: "Come here, take the things with me." Come in."

A dozen servants came in carrying copper basins.Song Qingjin counted the copper basins and the people standing in the yard, and said, "That's enough. If you don't want to talk, just hold this copper basin in both hands and kneel under the sun until someone wants to talk."
