Chapter 9 Theft

At the wedding banquet of the eldest son, the third wife was going back after dinner.

"I've always felt lazy lately and I don't have any appetite."

The third lady stood up and Zhu'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Some of it is because I didn't sleep well at night."

The third lady smiled meaningfully.

"You can have a meal first after you go back. After dinner, call Dr. Qin over."

"Yes." Zhu'er agreed, helping the third lady through the sea of ​​people, and the others followed closely behind.

When Zi Luo was walking on the road to get lunch, he found that there were basically no people on the road, and probably everyone went to the front yard to join in the fun, so it was very quiet along the way, and it seemed abrupt if there was a little noise.

Zi Luo's heart suddenly thumped. She seemed to hear some sound. Her curiosity prompted her to find the source of the sound, but the next second he blushed and accelerated her pace.

When we arrived at the kitchen, there were only two aunts on duty. It was probably a good day today, and even the servants' meals became richer. Zi Luo was already hungry and pressed his chest against his back. He secretly pinched a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth. While carrying the food box, he quickly walked back. He saw the two moons from afar.

"You're finally here, it's so heavy."

Although Zi Luo complained, he had a smile on his face.

"Come on, the one I'll raise the sinking."

Shuangyue took the food box, and the two of them were talking and laughing, bathing in the sun, stepping on pebbles, and soon returned to their residence. The few people didn't say a word, only the sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl, which showed the degree of hunger.

"Ah, it's so comfortable."

Lan Yu, who put down the bowls and chopsticks, touched her stomach with a satisfied look on her face.

"I didn't know how much saliva I swallowed just now."

Two moons laughed.

"Are we going back now? The third lady seemed to say she was feeling uncomfortable in the morning?"

Ziluo packed up the dishes.

"Yes, you go and send the lunch box back, Shuangyue and I will go back first."

Lan Yu looked at Zi Luo and said.

"OK."

Zi Luo quickly packed up and left first.

When Zi Luo returned to the third wife's residence, he saw that the doctor was already taking the pulse for the third wife.

The third lady lay softly on the bed, leaning against a quilt stacked in squares. The gauze curtains on both sides of the bed half covered her graceful figure. She stretched out an arm to put on a square stool beside the bed, and a thin scarf was covered with her wrist. An old man with a gray beard frowned and pressed his wrist under the scarf with his fingers. Suddenly he smiled happily, and the wrinkles on his face also stretched out.

"Congratulations to the third lady, you are happy."

The doctor stood up and bowed with his fists.

"Congratulations to Madam."

Zhu'er also smiled after being shocked.

"It's been over a month."

The third lady was very calm.

"Back to Madam, the fetus has been more than a month old. I can prescribe some fetal pills for Madam."

The doctor said while waving his brush.

"Lan Yu, go and notify the master."

Zhu'er looked at Lan Yu.

"No hurry. The master has drunk more wine today. Don't bother him. Let me tell him tomorrow. I'll prepare some sour plum soup for me, and I'm thinking a little."

The third lady's lazy voice came into her ears.

"yes."

Lan Yu retreated.

"Shuangyue, take it to get the medicine, decoct it and bring it to you."

Zhu'er took the doctor's prescription and handed it to Shuangyue, took out a certain amount of silver from the cabinet behind him and stuffed it into the doctor's hand.

"Thank you for your hard work, and you will ask the doctor to take the pulse in the future to ensure the fetus is complete."

"Sure, certain."

The doctor nodded with a smile, put away the money and left.

There were only three of them in the room at once. Zi Luo hurriedly took a rag and started cleaning. Zhuer walked to the bed and beat his wife's legs.

"Not good, no good."

When I heard the sound of a servant from afar, it was already time to use afternoon tea. The third lady was enjoying the flowers in the pavilion in the yard.

"What's wrong, you're so panicked?"

Zhu'er spoke first and said sternly.

"Not good, the Queen Mother gave me less things. The master got angry and said he must catch the person who steals the goods."

The servant gasped and said intermittently.

"Oh, that's the case!"

The third lady frowned slightly.

"Let's go to the master's place."

While the third lady stood up, Zhu'er reached out and held her elbow.

Before the Shuangyue decoction medicine was returned, Lan Yu was sent to the tailor shop to order loose clothes. Zhuier called Zi Luo to go with her.

Although the master's study room was a bit far from the third lady, he was anxious and his pace was fast, and he would arrive in a while.

"Master, what the hell is it..."

The third lady asked while raising her foot and crossing the threshold, but suddenly stopped talking.

I saw a servant kneeling in the room, saying that he was a servant. Judging from his clothes, he was also considered the servant in charge. At this time, he was shaking like a sieve. He was sitting in front of him, with a expressionless face. The air around him seemed to condense, making people unable to breathe.

"Which thief is willing to admit that he stole it? Where are you when everyone is eating at noon?"

Mr. Zhao was stiff and exhaled heavily from his nose.

"Master, were those things lost at noon?"

The third lady glanced at the kneeling man and asked anxiously.

"According to the people in charge, he found that there was less than a long time after Eunuch Wang left."

Mr. Zhao was still expressionless and slanted the third lady with the corner of his eyes.

"Master, if there is no evidence, it cannot be said that he stole it."

The third lady's voice was filled with a coquettish tone.

The third wife actually made her plead for her. Zi Luo couldn't help but look at the man a few more times. When she saw this, some clips suddenly rose in her mind. This man seemed to have seen him. Zi Luo's face turned slightly red, she frowned slightly, and her mind suddenly turned blank after it was running at a rapid speed.

"Who said there is no evidence?"

The eldest lady's voice appeared at the door with herself, and the expression on everyone's face changed, especially the person kneeling on the ground was suddenly shocked, as if his death had come.

The eldest lady was followed by a servant, holding a tray in her hand and some jewelry necklaces on it.

"This is found in this man's house."

The eldest lady spoke smoothly, and after she finished speaking, she looked at Mr. Zhao.

"No, it's impossible, no... it must be someone who framed me...I..."

The man was frightened and trembled even more powerfully than before.

"A bastard, come and take it out and beat it to death."

Mr. Zhao glared at him.

"No, it's not me, please spare me, it's not me who stole it... The third lady is not me..."

The person being dragged screamed loudly, and the sounds were gone, extremely shrill. It was not until he was dragged away that he could not hear the shouts.

The third lady suddenly tilted, but fortunately, she helped her to help her gently stroke her stomach and breathed rapidly.

"Madam, I'm careful of my fetal anger."

Zhuer took a breath as soon as she said something, knowing that she had let her say something, and the wife was asking her to say it to the master tomorrow.

As expected, everyone looked at the third lady with surprise.

Hope more people like it! Thank you for your support!
