Seeing that Nanny Wen was hesitant, Fang Yueru was a little anxious and urged: "It's just what? You should tell me quickly, do you want to scare me to death?"

"It's just that after taking inventory, a few things were missing."

Aunt Wen secretly cursed in her heart. It turned out that Madam still didn't trust her and even took the dowry from the Third Young Mistress without even saying hello to her in advance. She was not mentally prepared at all, and was caught in the act by the third mistress's maid.

The dowry list was written in her own hand, and there was absolutely no mistake. Now that there are missing items, it must have been taken by the madam.

If Madam had told her in advance, she could still find a way to cover it up for her. Now that there is no way to save her, she can only tell the truth.

The two maids were watching when they were counting just now, so she couldn't deny it.

Yu Wenting spoke at the right time and said in disbelief: "Mom, what's going on? I didn't expect you really took my dowry?"

Fang Yueru became anxious when she heard this, "How is this possible? The key has always been with me, and no one has touched it at all?"

Aunt Wen sighed silently in her heart, wondering why Madam is still quibbling at this time.

The facts are already in front of her, so what's the use of saying such words at this time?

Yu Wenting pretended to be sad and said: "Mom, the facts are before our eyes. Who would believe what you say?"

Fang Yueru was really speechless at the moment, but she really hadn't moved. Yuan Ruomei was busy enough for her these days, so she couldn't care about anything else.

Fang Yueru thought for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to her, "Aunt Wen, you wrote this list. It couldn't be that you wrote it somewhere, right?"

Aunt Wen was stunned when she heard this. Why did Madam push the shit basin over her head?

Aunt Wen and Fang Yueru looked at each other and immediately understood that Madam wanted her to take the blame.

Fang Yueru really didn't know what was going on, but if she couldn't find a way to explain it now, it would be a big deal.

After thinking about it, for the current plan, I can only push Nanny Wen to take the blame.

Having followed Fang Yueru for so many years, Nanny Wen naturally understands what she means.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to do it.

Although she felt aggrieved, Madam had always treated her well over the years, so taking the blame for her was not a big deal.

Moreover, if this matter is her fault, it is just that she was not careful when writing the order, which is not a big mistake. It is still much lighter than the crime of the wife stealing the daughter-in-law's dowry.

Thinking this, Nanny Wen finally summoned up the courage to admit her mistake, but was interrupted by Yu Wenting.

The eye contact between the master and the servant was so obvious, how could Yu Wenting not see it.

Fang Yueru wanted Nanny Wen to take the blame for her. After all, Nanny Wen's guilt was light and the impact would not be big in the final analysis.

But how could Yu Wenting give Fang Yueru this opportunity? She must put this hat on Fang Yueru today to relieve her hatred.

"Mother, when Nanny Wen wrote this list, many servants looked at it. My two maids also checked it carefully. There is no problem. I can't blame Nanny Wen for this. .”

Aunt Wen was a little touched when she heard this. Although she knew that Yu Wenting was not speaking for her because of her, at least she said something fair and proved her innocence.

On the contrary, the wife she had always served loyally pushed her out as a scapegoat at a critical moment, which had to make her feel chilled.

Fang Yueru choked after hearing this. Yu Wenting was right. This list had been confirmed. Although it had passed through Yu Wenting's hand, Aunt Wen had confirmed it again and again. It was indeed her handwriting. Fang Yueru really couldn't figure out what was going on.

Fang Yueru was speechless for a moment, "This..."

Seeing that Fang Yueru couldn't explain it, Yu Wenting curled her lips and smiled.

"Menglan, Mengru, have you written down what are the missing items?"

After hearing the words, the two stepped forward and handed a piece of paper to Yu Wenting, "I have already written down my reply to Third Young Madam. Please take a look."

Yu Wenting knew very well what the "few" things inside were, and they were all carefully selected by her.

It is more expensive, but it avoids the treasures given by the Holy Spirit.

After all, if the treasure given by the Holy Emperor was lost, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor, and all of them would be involved.

Yu Wenting looked at the dowry carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, you are quite good at choosing. Fortunately, there are no things given by the Holy Emperor. Otherwise, our entire Hou Mansion will be punished."

Fang Yueru also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Although she did not take it, if the thing given by the Holy Emperor was really lost to her, then she would die ten thousand times.

But since there is no fear of life, the most it can do is lose some money.

Yu Wenting's dowry looks very expensive, but in fact it shouldn't be worth much. She has saved some money these days, and at the worst she can open her mouth to her father and brother.

Moreover, in this situation, she simply couldn't argue, even if she didn't want to take responsibility.

Thinking of this, Fang Yueru threw the jar and asked directly: "Although I didn't take these things, they were indeed thrown into my hands. Tell me, what do you want me to do? With these few things, I Can I just compensate you as is?"

Yu Wenting snorted in her heart, but she had a sad look on her face, "Mother, you are obviously the one who took my dowry, how can you still be so confident? Those treasures were prepared for me by my father and mother, including How can you afford to compensate them for their full love for me? Moreover, my father specially found people to build them, and there is no one that is exactly the same. As long as you return these things to me, I will not Let’s pursue it no more.”

Fang Yueru was a little impatient when she saw Yu Wenting's look, "I already told you that I didn't take it, so who are you showing this crying look to? Since I can't compensate you, I will compensate your head office with the money. Bar?"

Yu Wenting thought for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed and nodded, "That's the only way it can be. Menglan, please calculate the value of the few things, and then tell your mother."

"Yes, Third Young Mistress."

When Fang Yueru saw the numbers that Meng Lan had calculated, she collapsed on the ground.

Fang Yueru looked at Yu Wenting resentfully, "These rags actually cost five hundred taels. Are you trying to steal my money openly?"

Yu Wenting looked at Fang Yueru with a smile, "Mom, I told you just now, these things were specially made by my father, so they are naturally valuable. You just said you would pay me the money, but now you can't Are you going to regret it?"

Fang Yueru looked at Yu Wenting in disbelief. She was smiling very proudly at this moment, and she didn't look like she was weak and bullied just now.
