Chapter 914 Clearing up the suspicion of a thief

At this moment, Rong Yue shouted at the door, "A Si. Man'er, come here."

The two turned around and replied. They passed by Aunt Qing and walked out.

Aunt Qing paused. She looked back at the backs of Man'er and A Si, her eyes dark.

When she turned around, she asked Qiluo on the pretext of an excuse. "Girl, which mansion were those two girls just now?"

"You talk about A Si and Man'er?" Qi Luo asked straightened her waist.

"Yes, Man'er..." She was chanting this name in her mouth, and her eyes were a little sad.

"Man'er is a slave in the southern border. She is very lowly. She serves in various prefectures. Anyone can command me." Qiluo sneered. "But she can only do some rough work. She can't do anything. She always makes her masters angry and gets beaten a lot."

"Being beaten?" Aunt Qing's muscles tightened.

"No?" Qi Luo looked around. He lowered his voice and smiled with malice, "This man is as famous as his name. He is full of brute force and resists beating. When the masters are unhappy, they will also vent their anger on her, beat her up at any time, and give her a bite of meat. She will be so happy that she will be happy. Anyway, as long as you give her meat, you can slap her at any time."

Aunt Qing stood there, her pupils dilated, as if she was struck by lightning for a while, but her expression still did not change, but anger was already rising in her eyes, and her voice was cold: "Yes, Nanjiang slaves are all despised by others."

She turned around slowly, but her whole body seemed a little trembling, and her shoulders were trying hard to suppress them and seemed tense.

Among the pile of gifts, two thousand taels of gold with the seal of the inner treasury were found, and some items from the Eighth Prince were also found. However, after checking the gift list recorded in the mansion, I didn’t know who gave it. The things given by each palace and the mansion were recorded in note, but this batch was not.

The people around the queen said they would report back to the palace immediately, but the imperial concubine reported the matter to Yuan Qingling. Yuan Qingling said: "This is the gift list recorded by herself in the mansion. Check the gift list attached when each palace and the mansion gave gifts to see if there is any corresponding one."

The Madam Wu sent by the Queen said coldly: "Okay, since you want to investigate, just as soon as possible. The stolen property in the palace is not the first time. In the past, there were always fewer items in the Queen's palace, and it has been confirmed that it was taken by His Highness Ninth."

The queen was very bad to Yu Wentian at the beginning. Her favorite thing was to put some charges on him. A thief can best ruin a person's reputation. A bad person who has no ambition is the most disgusting.

So, when Madam Wu said this, everyone from the palace was silent.

Yuan Qingling glanced at Madam Wu indifferently, "In the past, Guipin Luo's crime was finally proven to be wronged. How dare you make an assertion that Your Highness Ninth stole gold and items?"

Madam Wu was newly promoted to the queen, so she naturally had to make contributions. After hearing Yuan Qingling's words, she retorted without any weakness, "Crown Princess, these gold and the Eighth Prince's things were found in the palace. Didn't someone steal it? Could it be that she had grown legs?"

"I said that since I want to investigate, I have to check it clearly, check it out, and immediately check the gift lists sent by each prefecture and palace." Yuan Qingling said in a deep voice.

"Okay, check!" Madam Wu raised her hand, "Then I will wait, please ask the Crown Princess to send someone to investigate immediately."

Yuan Qingling called Aunt Qing, "Can the gift list be saved?"

"If you want to go back to the Crown Princess, I will pack the gift lists sent by each palace and the mansion in boxes. Please wait, I will get them now." After Aunt Qing finished speaking, she immediately went to the cabinet to take out a brocade box and opened it in front of Yuan Qingling.

Yuan Qingling checked it himself and looked carefully one by one.

Madam Wu stood beside her calmly, with a proud and arrogant look on her face.

"Finished." Yuan Qingling unveiled a gift list and placed it in front of everyone, "Well, it was sent from the Empress Palace. Two thousand taels of gold were not recorded on the big gift list. Instead, it was written with the Eighth Prince's gift list. Look, there is the queen's seal on the gift list."

Madam Wu was shocked and leaned over and took a closer look. The gift list really stated two thousand taels of gold, and a batch of gifts given by the Eighth Prince. The list was attached, with the queen's seal underneath.

The 3,000 taels of gold stolen by the inner treasury were found by His Highness 1,000 taels, and there were two thousand taels here, and the amount matched.

Her face turned pale, how could this happen?

Yuan Qingling said lightly: "It is clear that I am grateful to the Empress for the Queen's love for King Shun. She knew that King Shun had just left the palace and had to spend a lot of money on all kinds of tasks, so she did her mother's duty to care for her. The Empress was kind-hearted and moved me."

With the gift list and Baoyin as a testimony, Madam Wu was speechless and could not defend herself.

The people around the imperial concubine took the gift list and smiled and said, "The servants said goodbye."

"Go away!" Yuan Qingling smiled and looked at Madam Wu, then raised his eyebrows, "Are Madam leaving yet?"

Madam Wu didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, and looked at Yuan Qingling with complicated eyes and left.

Yuan Qingling calmed down and watched the people in the palace leave.

Rong Yue's eyes were cold, "What? I really don't bother."

"Forget it, if you don't ask someone to make things difficult for her, she won't be able to live her life." Yuan Qingling said lightly.

"Haha, now it's her turn to explain the whereabouts of the three thousand taels of gold." Rong Yue said.

Yuan Qingling walked out, looked at Yu Wentian standing under the autumn sun, and smiled slightly, "That shouldn't be what we worry about. She was depressed all the time, so she found some fun for her."

Yu Wentian stepped forward to salute, "Thank you, my sister-in-law, for proving my innocence for me."

Yuan Qingling looked at him gently and said, "You don't have to thank me. Your fifth brother knew what the gold was when he saw that day. He went to the palace to find Lao Ba and asked him to take the gift list written by the treasure seal, just waiting for her to make trouble."

"Brother-in-law..." Yu Wentian looked hard in his eyes, "Does he know this?"

"He knew that he actually understood everything in his heart. Don't worry, no one can alienate your brotherhood. Family affection is the best relationship in the world. As long as you trust each other, you can fall in love with each other for the rest of your life."

The queen is a fool. Lao Jiu is now promising. She should not be jealous, nor should she discard his relationship with Lao Ba because of jealousy. Because her parents always leave first, she cannot take care of Lao Ba for the rest of her life. Lao Jiu and Lao Ba have a deep brotherly relationship and will never leave her at any time. If she is cold to Lao Jiu's heart, wouldn't it harm Lao Ba?

It seems that I have to find someone to explain this to her. Otherwise, I will probably have a lot of these things in the future, and not everyone will be so idle, so I am guarding against her tricks every day.

"Man'er, stay here to help clean up and organize it, and then go to have a meal after it is sorted out." After the matter was resolved, Rong Yue turned around and ordered Man'er.

Man'er replied: "Yes!"
