Mianxin said timidly, while looking at Jin Zixi's face.

Jin Zixi had a cold face and a warm heart, and would not blame her for these things. She just smiled lightly: "I said that in the morning, but when I thought about it carefully later, it didn't matter whether I went or not. They didn't really want to give me anything.

We allocate a group of servants, so it is better to take the money and go outside to find it ourselves. Anyway, this backyard has its own entrance and exit gates, and we don’t need to go through their hands to do anything."

After saying that, Jin Zixi looked at Mian Xin and said: "Tomorrow, take the ten taels of silver I gave you and go out to buy ingredients by yourself. Even if they don't do it today, they will do it tomorrow, especially after passing by

I'm afraid they will put extra thought into the things in my hands, so...it doesn't hurt that we pay more attention to these aspects."

Mianxin nodded: "The matter of recruiting slaves."

"Just wait a few more days. Your young master is like this. I have to keep an eye on him until he gets better."

After saying this, the two of them served Jiang Liyun to eat again.

I have to say that after his acupuncture points were tapped, he became much more well-behaved than when he cried.

But Jin Zixi also knew that she couldn't always tap his acupoints. After all, Jiang Liyun was also a martial arts practitioner. If he tapped too many acupuncture points, some problems would eventually arise. She only hoped that he could cooperate well.

Although the night was uneventful, Jin Zixi was still awakened by a burst of noise early the next morning.

Jin Zixi originally thought that after Jiang Liyun's acupuncture points were unlocked, he did something crazy again, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that Jiang Liyun was already trembling and hiding under the bed. She quickly got up and put the

Jiang Liyun pulled out from under the bed and shouted outside the room: "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

Mian Xin then pushed open the door and entered with a crying look: "Young Madam, Young Madam..."

"If you have anything to say, what happened?"

Mian Xin nodded and wiped her tears angrily: "Mrs. Hou said that she lost a golden walking stick that was a reward from the imperial concubine, so she ordered people to search our backyard! I told you that no one has ever been out in our backyard.

But they just didn’t believe it and insisted on breaking in. Brother Aoki was almost crippled by them!”

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Zixi quickly handed Jiang Liyun over to Mianxin and went out to see what was going on.

Jin Zixi, who has killed countless corrupt officials, has seen many bloody scenes, but when she saw Aoki's bruised body hanging upside down on the stone corridor outside the backyard, she couldn't help but shrink her pupils.

The bright red blood soaked through the linen clothes on his body, and his blood-stained back was torn apart.

Aoki seemed to have been knocked unconscious, but Mrs. Hou was sitting at the stone table drinking tea with an indifferent expression.

Although Jin Zixi has no friendship with this Qingmu, this Qingmu is from her backyard after all, and now he is so easily punished by Madam Hou, as if she has long concluded that her lost Jin Buyao is in the backyard.

Of course, Jin Zixi also knew that even if the Jin Bu Yao was not in the backyard, the Jin Bu Yao was a reward from her as the daughter of a noble concubine. Because of this thing, whoever stole it was not the real Madam Hou, but the current person who offended her.

Noble Concubine, the current Holy One, caring about the face of the royal family, naturally Mrs. Hou will search wherever she wants. Even if the search cannot be found, no one dares to accuse her. I am afraid that even the Marquis cannot protect Jin Zixi.

However, Jin Zixi never expected that Mrs. Hou would sing like this so early in the morning. She was so energetic!

After considering it secretly for a while, Jin Zixi walked to Mrs. Hou and bowed to her respectfully.

Apart from Mrs. Hou, only Wu Wanyue and Yang Yun were there. It seemed that the men in this house were inconvenient to take care of the house search this time.

When she raised her eyes, Wu Wanyue had already winked at Jin Zixi. Jin Zixi nodded towards her and said to Madam Hou: "Madam, there are only three people in our backyard, and all three of them are surrounding the Fourth Young Master.

I’m afraid I don’t have time to steal things from your yard, right?”

However, Mrs. Hou was not annoyed. She just glanced at Jin Zixi lightly and said confidently: "If someone in your yard took it, you will know after a search."

Jin Zixi was extremely puzzled by this matter. With her skills and ears, no one would break into the backyard and quietly put Jin Bu Yao in their house.

The only possibility is that Mianxin and Qingmu really went to Mrs. Hou to steal the golden step.

But why do they do this?

She just gave Mianxin ten taels of silver yesterday, so it stands to reason that she would not be short of money.

If you have to do this, it will be a frame-up. One of Mianxin and Qingmu must be sent by Madam Hou. The bloody scene in front of you is just a trick...

Thinking of this, Jin Zixi couldn't help but narrow her eyes. Mrs. Hou insisted on searching. If she continued to stop her, it would appear that she was guilty.

"Since madam thinks that the lost things are in our yard, let's come in and search." After saying this, Jin Zixi turned back and shouted into the house, "Mianxin, bring the young master out. Madam Hou ordered people to search."

The house carefully scared the young master."

"yes."

Mian Xin supported Jiang Liyun and came out in response, her face was pale and pale, but Jiang Liyun was still trembling all over.

Jin Zixi didn't have time to find out whether Mian Xin was a traitor or whether Aoki was playing this cruel trick. After helping Jiang Liyun from Mian Xin's hand, she immediately unlocked the acupuncture points on his body.

The strange thing is that Jiang Liyun is very well-behaved today. After the acupuncture points were automatically released a few times before, he must have cried and fussed, but today, he seemed to be really frightened. He didn't care about Jin Zixi, but

He kept hiding behind Mian Xin.

Jin Zixi really didn't know what song he was singing, but he wanted to use Jiang Liyun's stupidity to make trouble with Madam Hou, but he seemed to be extremely afraid of Madam Hou and couldn't even look at it.

Dare to look at her.

If Jiang Liyun is really stupid, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to reveal his true nature.

But after a while, Jin Buyao found it, and he found it from the soft couch where Jiang Liyun slept!

Jin Zixi couldn't believe that Jiang Liyun did this, but she had more doubts in her heart.

But Mrs. Hou didn't seem to be angry. She just ordered the maid to put away the golden walking stick, and raised her eyes coldly to look at Jin Zixi: "You are a wild girl from a remote country. I know that I have never seen any good things. It's just that

I didn’t expect that my hands and feet would be so unclean.”

"Madam, what I'm saying is that when I see that my siblings are so smart, they don't seem to be such mean people." Yang Yun narrowed her eyes slightly and took the opportunity to stir up trouble with ill intentions, "I think this backyard must be searched carefully.

, maybe there is something else..."

"Madam! Zi Xi is a relative of my mother's side. I know her character and will never do such a thing."

Wu Wanyue was about to help Jin Zixi, but unexpectedly, she was blocked by Yang Yun lazily: "Sister-in-law, I know what you want to say. I also said it just now. My brother and sister don't look like such people. Maybe they are."

The maid below... But, didn’t Mianxin just say that there was no one in the backyard?

Have you ever been to the madam's room? How come Jin Buyao is on the couch? And judging from the attire of the younger sister and fourth brother, it looks like they just got up not long ago. The two of them have been sleeping on the couch, so why is there anything else on the couch?

When I look at it, it doesn't look like Mianxin just put it in secretly..."

At this time, Jin Zixi finally understood that this was a trap that killed two birds with one stone.

They would not doubt Jiang Liyun, the fool, nor Qingmu, who was crippled. All the evidence was directed at her, Jin Zixi and Mianxin.

Today, if she does not admit this crime, Mianxin will become a thief. If Mianxin does not admit it, then she must be the one who stole Jin Buyao!

However, at this time, Jin Zixi was much calmer than everyone thought. She looked at Madam Hou with a calm smile, and asked fiercely: "Madam concluded that the thief came from the backyard, and now she has found Jin Buyao. Such a guess

There is nothing wrong with that. But, have all the places in the house been searched? Or, Mrs. Hou only searched our place and concluded that Jin Buyao must be in the backyard?"

Mrs. Hou frowned, and Yang Yun quickly told Jin Zixi knowingly: "Brothers and sisters, we are not targeting you intentionally, but you are watching over your fourth brother, and you know his current situation and how difficult it is to take care of him. Now, he

There is no slave around me

Those who are willing to follow him, even those who follow him, are not very dedicated. Otherwise, the fourth brother would not have fallen into the water yesterday, right? Look, the younger brother and sister have just entered the house and have little prestige, so the servants in their hands will make the decision.

You are making trouble in front of the Lord, right?"

Jin Zixi looked at her calmly. She knew that if she followed Yang Yun's advice and Mianxin fell into their hands, she would not know how she would be tortured.

Seeing that she had no response, Yang Yun continued: "When I was waiting for Madam to wash up this morning, I seemed to see a strange girl. Later, Madam said that she looked like Mian Xin, the maid here, so we went there early in the morning.

I came here to find it. Didn't it happen that my wife's golden walking stick was lost, and I happened to find it here with my sister-in-law. Just now, my sister-in-law called Mianxin in again. What about you, sister-in-law? Why did so many of them happen to be together?

"

In this way, it is confirmed that Mianxin did it.

Listening to Yang Yun's explanation, even Jin Zixi became a little suspicious.

At this moment, she turned back to look at Mian Xin, only to see her kneeling on the ground with a plop: "Four Young Madam, it was not a slave who did this, it really wasn't a slave who did it! Even if I have the courage, I would not dare to enter Madam Hou privately.

How dare you steal anything from your room!"

"I believe you, but Madam and the Third Young Madam don't believe you." At this point, Jin Zixi looked at Mianxin with a pleasant look, "You'd better think about it for yourself. Is there any witness that can prove that you are here today?"

Where was it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mianxin kowtowed to Jin Zixi several times and said happily: "Yes! I went out to do business this morning as you ordered. Several bosses at the market can testify on my behalf!"

Hearing this, Jin Zixi nodded and turned to look at Yang Yun: "How is it? Mianxin was not at the house this morning. Does the third sister-in-law still think she stole this Jin Buyao?"

Yang Yun covered her mouth and smiled, and looked at Jin Zixi with an unfathomable look: "I'm not doubting it, but since Mian Xin has certified it, then this Jin Bu Yao...could it be that it was really stolen by my younger siblings?"

I thought that after saying this, Jin Zixi would always excuse herself.

Little did she know that she actually smiled faintly, glanced at the frightened Jiang Liyun behind Mianxin, lifted up her skirt and knelt at Madam Hou's feet: "In that case, if you want to be beaten or punished, it's up to you."

"Zi Xi!"

Wu Wanyue never expected that Jin Zixi would admit the crime of theft so calmly.

She really couldn't understand how she would gain a foothold in this noble family in the future after Jin Zixi admitted this crime!

But Jin Zixi's face was always calm, and she showed no fear that day. Even Mrs. Hou and Yang Yun were slightly startled for a moment. It seemed that Jin Zixi confessed too readily, and they didn't know what to do.

At this time, Jin Zixi raised her eyes coldly, with a half-smile expression on her face: "I just hope that after being beaten and punished, Madam can tell the truth how she knew that Jin Buyao was in my room.

Among them, Qingmu was disabled by you, Mianxin has witnesses, and the fourth young master is stupid. I am the only one who failed to authenticate, and I have a physical evidence in hand, but the third
To be continued...
