Chapter 26 The Thief

Erhong carefully adjusted the fire on the tea stove.

Boiling medicine in the water pavilion is not as convenient as in the little lady's yard, but there is no one to help. The young lady is obviously suspicious of the people around her. Except for the two nuns, Lady Shao and her, they don't seem to want to

Erhong didn't dare to say anything when others came closer. In fact, she felt a little unsure now.

Princess Si died, Mrs. Yang and the young lady were at odds with each other, and King Si clearly sided with Mrs. Yang. Although Princess Dou was willing to help them, Princess Dou herself also had many dissatisfactions. People in the courtyard of Princess Si

, and how many people in the little lady’s yard are willing to stay and be loyal, instead of trying to climb a new branch, or even betray the master and surrender to the enemy?

Erhong looked at the sky and saw that it was already bright. She was a little worried that the young lady would wake up and wanted to take a look, but she did not dare to leave the medicine jar. Although no one would enter the garden without permission,

But the people who are already working in the garden may not be able to take advantage of the loopholes. Who knows if there might be Mrs. Yang’s spies? What if someone secretly poisons the little lady’s medicine? She would never dare to

Let this medicine jar leave your eyes.

Mrs. Shao has already fallen asleep, so it's hard to wake her up. The two rough ladies probably haven't gotten up yet.

Erhong was in a dilemma when he suddenly noticed someone running towards the water pavilion and immediately became alert: "Who is it?"

As the person came closer, she recognized that it was Shi Qing, the maid from Princess Chen's courtyard. She breathed a sigh of relief, but then she became suspicious again: "Why are you here? The princess has given an order not to allow anyone to approach the water pavilion. Do you disturb me?"

The little lady is resting!"

Shi Qing ran over and whispered: "Mother Lu asked me to deliver a message. I told the guards and they let me in."

The suspicion in Er Hong's heart was reduced by half: "What did Aunt Lu ask you to preach?"

Shi Qing looked at the direction of the room: "Mother Lu wants to make amends to the young lady. She originally agreed that she would come over this morning to revive her, but now I'm afraid it won't be possible. She may have to delay her arrival until the afternoon, so that the young lady doesn't have to worry.

."

Erhong asked hurriedly: "What happened? Is there something wrong with the accounts?"

Shi Qing was silent for a moment and sighed: "A few sisters packed their things in private and wanted to leave, and even hid my wife's things, but they were discovered by Grandma Lu. They didn't stop all night. Grandma Lu

He said that everyone's luggage must be searched first to ensure that there are no other stolen goods before reporting it to the young lady. Just after the lady passed away, such a scandal happened in our courtyard. If people know about it, it will inevitably hurt the lady's reputation. If so,

If you don't tell people, it won't be easy to deal with those things stolen behind the owner's back. But if you tell people, what will happen to the people in our yard, it may not be the young lady who can decide. After the king's words, I'm afraid that the mother-in-law will

The ladies may not be able to stay!”

Er Hong became serious when she heard this. Although she was not sure about the twists and turns here, Grandma Lu asked Shi Qing to pass on the message. She made it clear that she knew that this matter was not hers to make the decision.

She picked up the medicine jar and took Shi Qing to the door of Li Lijun's room. Just as she was about to open the door to take a look, she saw the door opened and Li Lijun, neatly dressed and with her hair disheveled, walked out.

Li Lijun has succeeded in becoming a spiritual being and transcending the world, and now she is smarter and wiser than ordinary people. She heard everything Shi Qing said just now in the verandah. Although she was a little angry in her heart, she was not panicked.

She has experienced more difficult things, many times! This is nothing at all.

She told Er Hong: "Go back and boil the medicine. Shi Qing will come into the room to talk."

Erhong agreed, but hesitated: "Why did the little lady come out on her own again? Madam Shao said that you were running around in the middle of the night. At least you have an injury on your foot..."

Li Lijun smiled: "My foot injury is no longer serious after taking Lin's medicine. I can't run, but it's okay to walk a few steps. But I won't tell the truth in front of the doctor, and neither will you."

To mention it externally, just think that I am still too injured to walk. If Aye knew that my injury healed so quickly, he would definitely feel that the third sister did not do anything bad. When she turned around, Madam Yang would coax him a few words, and he would

If they let Third Sister go, wouldn’t I suffer in vain?”

Er Hongshen agreed: "The little lady is right! It's a good thing that the little lady is not seriously injured, but you can't let the third lady escape the blame because of this! I will never tell anyone!" Shi Qing also nodded repeatedly beside him.

.

Erhong was sent back to make medicine. Shi Qing helped Li Lijun walk back to the bedroom, sat down by the bed, and then narrated what happened in the east courtyard last night.

The people waiting in Chen's courtyard became disaffected when they saw that their mistress was dead. In the past few days, the nuns in charge had to go to the front to keep vigil, and there were no people to suppress them in the courtyard. There was a little chaos, and someone took the opportunity to steal some.

I plan to take the valuable belongings away quietly.

Some of them had already found connections to find new jobs for themselves, while others saw that Xiao Yang was becoming more and more powerful and had a son, so they wanted to defect to her. Unexpectedly, Li Yanjun suddenly killed his sister and was imprisoned. Even Xiao Yang

After all the family members were implicated, they had a wait-and-see attitude, but they held it back for the time being. Unexpectedly, Grandma Lu returned to the courtyard in a hurry and did an inventory overnight, and the missing property was naturally exposed.

Aunt Lu had accumulated a lot of prestige in the past, so she sent word to inquire, and soon someone reported the thief. The man was scolded, and when he heard that Aunt Lu was going to drive her out of the palace, she became frightened, so she told what she knew.

People who also had the heart to betray the Lord confessed and asked for leniency. So, one after another, there were seven or eight more thieves in the yard overnight. Almost all of Chen's house was robbed.

He took away nearly a thousand guan worth of property and almost made Grandma Lu angry to death.

Mrs. Chen had only died a few days ago, and there were so many thieves among the people serving her. Even if Mrs. Yang hadn't spread rumors, there would definitely be people who felt that Mrs. Chen was lax in her duties and incompetent in her stewardship. But this is

In the Sui Palace, the thieves were all maids who served in the palace of the concubine. They had good reputations and backgrounds. Everyone had seen the world. Why did they suddenly become so short-sighted?

Grandma Lu is now full of conspiracy theories. While she has to complete the task assigned by Li Lijun, she also has to interrogate the thieves. How can she be busy all night? She had no choice but to send Shi Qing into the garden at dawn to report the news to Li Lijun.

In her private mind, it was better to handle this matter as much as possible by her own people without disturbing the heir.

The heir princess is gone, and the young lady cannot be left without loyal and reliable people to serve her. People like them must not be found to have any leverage and have to leave the young lady!

Li Lijun also frowned after hearing the whole story.

When she used the drone to eavesdrop last night, she didn't hear Mr. Yang mention this kind of thing. However, the maids who had stolen property turned to a wait-and-see attitude after hearing the news about Li Yanjun's attempted murder of his sister, which shows that they had a backstory.

The main idea was before this incident. Even if Xiao Yang really has an agenda, he may not be able to care about it now.

So, is Xiao Yang really involved in this matter? What is she planning to do?

If it is just to belittle the Chen family in public opinion, it is meaningless. Chen family has died as the heir princess. Unless one day the heir king Li Dai or the Chen family of Wuxing commits a crime of treason and implicates her, otherwise

No amount of rumors could jeopardize her reputation. If Xiao Yang wanted to set things right, there was no need to deal with a dead man.

Is it really to clear out the people left behind by the Chen family? Li Lijun felt that she was not necessarily the target. I was afraid that what was really being targeted was the huge property left behind by the Chen family.

The young Yang family planned to attack from both sides with the Chen family, eliminate all the loyal servants left by the Chen family in one fell swoop, and then seek to rectify the situation.
