Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Chapter 73: Uncovering the thief

When they heard the noise, the two of them suddenly panicked.

Following the sound, Bai Ji's figure just appeared in front of him.

When Qinglian saw the person coming, her body softened, she knelt on the ground and murmured in a low voice, "Sister Baiji..."

When Bai Ji came closer, he snorted coldly when he saw her, opened his mouth and cursed, "You have no conscience, I think you are honest, but you are actually dirty inside!"

Qinglian hesitated and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"You look like this, are you a habitual offender?" Bai Ji stood up straight and looked at her condescendingly, "If you dare to stretch your hand into Chengyuan, you are not afraid of being killed or not!"

Qinglian winced and kowtowed to Bai Ji quickly, "I'm sorry! Sister Bai Ji is really sorry. Please don't tell Madam!"

"Bah!" Bai Ji spat at her, with disgust on his face, "Are you looking at me the same as you? I'm telling you, don't try to deceive me!"

Qinglian grabbed the corner of Baiji's skirt and cried, "Sister Baiji, I also have difficulties at home. If I were not really desperate, I would never do such a thing!"

"My parents died early, leaving me and my brother alone. If I hadn't been like this...my brother would have starved to death sooner or later!"

Bai Ji stared at her, and then laughed out loud after a while, "You are really interesting. Are you afraid that you think I didn't check you before I arrested you?"

Qinglian stopped crying and looked at Baiji with blinking eyes.

Baiji curled her lips and lowered her eyes to look at her, "Your parents are still alive, and you only have one older brother, who is already married. Am I right?"

"You stole these things just because you were obsessed with gambling and lost all your money, so you did this. Am I right?"

Every time Bai Ji spoke, Qing Lian's face turned pale, and even her lips lost color.

Bai Ji laughed angrily, raised his hand and gave her a slap, and cursed loudly, "In order to avoid punishment, even his own parents can curse him. He is really blind!"

Qinglian covered her face, bit her lower lip and cried pitifully.

"As for you," Bai Ji turned to look at the trembling man and sneered, "If I remember correctly, you are the youngest son of Chef Zhang in the house, right?"

"On weekdays, I'm used to hearing your dad say you're naughty, but when I saw you today, it turned out to be really good." Bai Ji crossed his arms, and although he was smiling, his eyes were really cold, "Because of your dad, Madam You are specially allowed to do chores in the house and empty the slop bucket, who would have thought that you would cause such a mess?"

"Sister Baiji, I found what Madam was looking for." Ye Ming ran up, carrying a bag of things, "There are a lot of things in here, they should have been stolen by these two!"

Bai Ji carefully took out the topmost ambergris rouge, gently blew the dust on it, waved his hand casually and said, "Go, send the two of them to the government, and dismiss Chef Zhang as well."

"Okay." Ye Ming responded, turned around and pressed the two of them out of the back door.

Bai Ji looked at the two people's backs, snorted coldly, then looked behind the wall and said loudly, "Madam, Rouge has been found."

Behind the wall, Fang Xu walked out slowly, looking at Bai Ji with a smile.

Bai Ji suddenly lost his temper and said, "It's all my fault for being so unkind to others."

"I don't blame you, she's used to pretending." Fang Xu walked up to her, raised his hand and patted her shoulder gently, comforting, "You always have to experience misunderstandings about people and being unkind to others. Today, Even suffering can be regarded as growth.”

Bai Ji puffed up his cheeks and handed Yanzhi over, "Madam, Yanzhi is here."

Fang Xu lowered his eyes, glanced at the box of fine rouge, and then said calmly, "Here you go."

After a pause, he immediately thought that this rouge had been used by Qing Lian. How could Madam Jinzhi Jade Leaves value something that had been used by others?

"Thank you ma'am!"

<divclass="contentadv"> Bai Ji put it in his sleeves as if it were a treasure, and even patted the cuffs carefully.

Madam dislikes it, but she doesn’t dislike it!

Something so precious could be considered a family heirloom!

Fang Xu walked to the back door, looked at the two people being dragged far away, and smiled together, seemingly unintentionally but also intentionally, "How great would it be if everyone could learn to be content?"

Bai Ji followed her and snorted when he heard the words, "I think it's just these two careless people who are stupid. Although our maids and servants in the Marquis Mansion are not as good as the serious masters, they are not as good as some minor servants." Compared with the young ladies and gentlemen of this household, they are very different!"

"Madam is considerate of the servants. Compared with other families, the monthly salary of the Marquis is five ounces more. Isn't this satisfying?"

The more Bai Ji thought about it, the angrier he became, and he simply spat in the direction the two of them were leaving.

Fang Xu chuckled and shook his head helplessly.

In a daze, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.

The back door of the Marquis Mansion is at the end of the West Market. Most of the people in the West Market are dignitaries from aristocratic families, and the people who come and go are all servants of the aristocratic families.

The man stumbled and hit the wall without feeling any pain. He covered his head and looked in pain. After a moment, he supported the wall and spat out a mouthful of filth. Then he wiped his mouth as if unintentionally and beat him. He cheered up and entered the house next to him.

Fang Xu felt something bad secretly. He raised his eyes and looked up. He frowned fiercely when he saw the word "Wang Family" engraved on the door plaque.

"I think this time I should kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and deal with Qinglian... Madam!"

Bai Ji was cursing nonstop on the side, but before he could scold Shu Tan, he was pulled into the house by Fang Xu.

"Close the door! Come in too!"

Fang Xu turned around and roared, covering his mouth and nose with one hand and Baiji with the other, and rushed back to Chengyuan.

"Madam..." Bai Ji was hugged by her and could not see her expression clearly, "What's wrong with you?"

Fang Xu rushed into the house, closed the door, and whispered, "The plague...the plague is coming!"

"Wha...what!" Bai Zhi's legs went weak, and her beautiful face turned pale, "Madam, you..."

"The appearance of that man just now is a symptom of the plague!" Fang Xu said in a low voice with a sullen face, "This matter cannot be avoided. If that man enters the Wang family, the capital will inevitably fall!"

Bai Ji calmed down and said softly, "Madam, do you want to take action?"

Fang Xu thought for a while and then ordered, "The hospital in Dongshi can be opened. Please go ahead and tell me not to go in or out of the house. All the discounts from outside will be returned. Find someone to buy the meals you eat every day and put them away." main entrance."

"In addition, the maids in the order house should quickly cut some triangular strips of cloth and divide the strips of cloth I made a few days ago. They will wear them on their faces every day from now on and are not allowed to take them off!"

Fang Xu ordered his subordinates in an orderly manner, laying down all the rules in front of him, "Now search the gardens to see if there are any servants with fever or vomiting, and immediately isolate them in the wing room of the east gate!"

"Yes!" Bai Ji didn't dare to delay. He went up to the side room and took out a triangular strip of cloth, gave a few to Fang Xu, and then didn't forget to put it on himself. After doing this, he ran out.

Fang Xu looked at her homemade simple mask and remained silent.

She is confident that she can lead everyone in the Marquis to survive this crisis, but what about the entire capital...
