The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

"Miss, the method I came up with is effective, isn't it?" Qiuyue instructed the maid to secretly steal the things of Xie Liuhui and the other person, and presented them to Xie Liuzheng without missing a single thing, with a proud look on her face, "Madam and Miss were kind enough to pity them and let them live in the mansion, and treated them with delicious food and drinks, but they were greedy."

?

"Humph, they are still literate young ladies, but even the servants look down on them."

?

Xie Liuzheng glanced at the jewelry piled up like a small mountain. Each piece was pure gold and splendid. It was obvious that they were the best of the best. He only glanced at them and told Qiuyue lightly: "Find a chance to send these things back."

?

Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, "Miss, these things belong to the Madam. It would be a pity if they were coaxed away by them. Why should we send them back?"

?

Without even looking up, Xie Liuzheng turned over a page in the account book, "Have you forgotten what I told you to do?"

?

Qiuyue lowered her head and said nothing, but she was still not convinced in her heart.

?

Xie Liuzheng continued, "They are my mother's nieces after all. If they are sent back for no reason, even if they dare not say anything to my mother's face, it will be difficult for her to get through it."

?

"Besides, we can use this incident to clear out some unruly servants. The remaining servants will also be warned and will not do anything too excessive in the future. This is also a good thing. Consider this as a reward for them."

?

Qiuyue didn't expect that one thing could have so many effects. She bowed with sincerity and said, "Miss is so smart. I'll do it right away." She went out with the jewelry.

?

The servants thought Xie Liuhui and the other two were too nosy and often tried to trip them up behind their backs. The two complained to Xie Xiangyu, and when they replaced a few servants the same thing happened again, some were even more disobedient than the previous group.

?

The two gradually realized that the more they got angry with the servants, the worse they were treated, so they started to try to please the servants.

?

The servants did not appreciate it. Instead, they felt that the two men were guilty and became even more unscrupulous.

?

The situation of the two was difficult. It was better when Xie Xiangyu was at home, and the servants did not dare to do anything too excessive. But Xie Xiangyu was often away managing the business, and gradually the servants even failed to deliver meals to the two on time.

?

It was never early, and it always took a long time in the evening. By the time the food came to them, it was cold, and sometimes there were even leftovers.

?

Xie Liufang couldn't bear it any longer after a few days, so he discussed with Xie Liuhui, "Sister, let's go home. We don't have to suffer the bullying of servants here."

?

Xie Liuhui refused to leave, "How much better can home be than here? Besides, we have been here for so long, and we have been so careful in front of aunt. If we go back empty-handed, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

?

This seemed to make sense. Xie Liufang bit her lip and said, "Okay, then I'll just bear with it for a few more days."

?

Thinking of those things that were stolen, she couldn't help but feel so sad that she wanted to hit someone. They were worth at least several thousand taels of silver. If she added them to her dowry and took them to her in-laws' house, she would have more confidence when speaking.

?

It was actually stolen. Kill this thief!

?

As the two were talking, a new maid stood at the door and said in a lukewarm manner, "Madam, please ask the two cousins ​​to come to the main courtyard to talk." After saying this, she turned around and left without any greeting.

?

The two of them controlled their temper, packed up briefly and went to the main room.

?

But they saw another maid in their room kneeling there with the things they had lost spread out in front of her. She thought that the thief had been caught and was asked to come and get the things back, and she couldn't help feeling overjoyed.

?

But the maid cried and said, "Madam, these things were found in a box that was pressed down when I was helping the two young ladies to sort out their boxes."

?

"I am not afraid of being beheaded for saying this. Since the two young ladies came to live in our house, we have been serving them wholeheartedly. This is what we should do. I dare not ask for a word of praise from the two young ladies."

?

"It's just that the two young ladies deliberately hid these things but insisted that we were the ones who stole them. We were accused of being thieves for no reason and we are not convinced."

?

"Please, Madam, give us a clear name."

?

Xie Liuhui and the other person were stunned. These things had clearly been hidden under the bed before they were lost. How did they end up in the box?

?

He quickly stepped forward to defend himself, "Aunt, what's the point of us getting on with the servants? These maids must be dissatisfied with us and deliberately framed us."

?

This statement is really far-fetched. The monthly salary of a maid who serves others is more than twice that of a maid who does odd jobs. These maids would like the two of them to stay in the mansion. What reason is there to frame them?

?

Even Xie Xiangyu felt that their words were irrelevant, but she did not believe that they would frame the maid.

?

Xie Liuzheng smiled at the right moment and said, "It's good that the things are found. The two cousins ​​may have put them away and forgotten about them. Didn't I also cause unrest in the mansion because I couldn't find a plum blossom hairpin a few years ago?"

?

Xie Liuzheng did often forget things, but she didn't insist that something was stolen just because she couldn't find it.

?

Xie Xiangyu didn't want to pursue the matter any further, so she waved her hand and picked up the maid. "Maybe it's just like Liu Zheng said, she just forgot where she put it. Now that you've found it, you've done a great deed. Go back and get your reward from the housekeeper."

?

The maid refused to stand up. "My sister was sold out by Madam because of this incident. Now the truth is out. My sister is innocent. Can Madam please buy my sister back?"

?

Those who have been sold out have no idea where the traffickers have sold them to, so how can we buy them back?

?

Xie Xiangyu secretly felt guilty, thinking she shouldn't have jumped to conclusions on impulse without making clear inquiries. She consoled the maid with a few words, gave her some rewards and sent her away.

?

Xie Liuhui and the other wanted to say something, but Xie Xiangyu was feeling uncomfortable and too lazy to talk.

?

Xie Liuzheng smiled at the two and said, "Mother has been working hard outside all day, and now she has to deal with all these trivial matters when she comes back. She is very tired. It is time for her to take a break. You two cousins, please go back first and come back to talk to mother later."

?

The two of them had no choice but to return to their room in disappointment, not daring to take those things with them.

?

Xie Liuzheng walked the two to the door, turned around and saw Xie Xiangyu leaning on the stick in a trance, thought for a moment and walked to the couch and sat down, patting Xie Xiangyu's shoulders. "Mother, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."

?

Xie Xiangyu half-closed her eyes and sighed, "Are you trying to talk about Sister Liu Hui?"

?

"That's right." Xie Liuzheng said in a gentle tone: "The two cousins ​​have been living in our house for more than a month. It's almost the Qiqiao Festival, and it's time for them to go home and reunite with their parents."

?

"Besides, Third Uncle is still ill, and the two cousins ​​are old enough to take care of Grandfather in person. They still need to visit him every morning and evening and pay their respects."

?

"It doesn't make sense for the granddaughters to hide away with their relatives when their grandfather is sick. So I was thinking, should I send someone to send them back?"
