Chapter five hundred and seventy first greedy trouble
"Yes... Aunt Nan Qiu." Mo'er lowered her head and answered, her hands unconsciously clasped behind her back. Her move made Shui Xiu even more suspicious. She also remembered that Mo'er had been deliberately curling her hands since just now, and frowned: "
Stretch out your hand."
Mo'er's expression changed, but she hid her hand deeper behind her back. No matter what Shui Xiu said, she refused to take it out. She clearly had something in her heart. Shui Xiu forcefully took her hand, squeezed it and curled it tightly.
They held their fingers together and shouted: "Don't let go of your hands yet!"
"No!" Mo'er said in panic and fear, clasping her fingers tightly and refusing to let go no matter what. When the two of them were struggling, Mo'er's hand shook, and something fell from his tightly curled palms.
Shui Xiu had sharp eyes and immediately squatted down from the ground.
Picking it up from the blanket, it turned out to be a green jade bead. Shuixiu looked familiar. After staring for a while, she finally recognized it. Isn't this the bead from the jade chain that the master accidentally tore off when she got up in the morning? How could it be in Mo Mo's house?
In your hands? Could it be that...
Shuixiu quickly walked to the dressing table and opened one of the agarwood wooden boxes. It was these jade beads contained inside. Because there were so many of them, even if someone took a few away, they would not be able to tell.
Shui Xiu already understood the reason for Mo'er's appearance here, and shouted sternly: "You are so brave, you dare to steal the master's things!"
"I didn't!" Mo'er waved her hands in panic. As her palms opened accidentally, more beads fell from her palms. It was estimated that there were at least four or five. Now she was even more panicked and stammered:
"These are mine. I picked them up from the ground. I didn't touch the beads in the box. Sister Shui Xiu, believe me, I really didn't steal them."
Shui Xiu sneered and said: "Shui Yue and I have picked up the ones that fell on the ground a long time ago. Besides, even if there are any omissions, there are only one or two at most. How can there be so many. Mo'er, you are so daring, even the master
You dare to steal anything. Today’s one is an emerald bead, but what was it yesterday’s and the one before it?”
"Seriously not!" Mo'er's face turned red and she pointed to a corner under the dressing table and said: "That's where I picked them up. I picked up five in total. Sister Shuixiu, I really didn't lie to you. Please
You believe me!"
"Humph, you're still making excuses. You shamelessly insisted on following me into the palace in the first place. You know why." Mo'er often complained in front of others that the monthly salary in the palace was not enough, saying that he would feel sad after leaving the palace.
Peaceful days, this palace has always been
It was a place where words were spread, and Shui Xiu naturally heard about it. But originally, everyone was working in the same place, so Shui Xiu pretended not to know so as not to hurt each other's harmony. But now that Mo'er has done this kind of stealing,
The original feelings are naturally gone.
"You don't have to say anything. I'll tell the master about this right now." Shuixiu turned around and left. Just as she was about to take a step, her legs were tightly hugged by someone. The person hugging her was Mo'er.
Seeing her begging hard: "Sister Shui Xiu, no, please, please don't. I did pick up this bead. At most...at most I can just give it back to you."
"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Remember it in the future. Before you do something wrong, think about the consequences." Shui Xiu glanced at Mo'er with disgust, and tried to break away a few times but failed.
, couldn't help shouting angrily: "Hurry up and let go!"
"No, Sister Shui Xiu, if the master finds out, she will definitely drive me out of the palace. I...I haven't saved enough money yet. I will starve and be poor like before when I go out. You should just take pity on me."
Don't make this matter public, okay?" Mo'er couldn't care about anything else, she just desperately wanted Shui Xiu to hide this matter. She never wanted to suffer the pain she had suffered before again.
Unfortunately, no matter how she begged, it was of no use. In Shuixiu's heart, the master's interests were even more important than her own. What's more, she believed that Mo'er was stealing, so how could she keep a person with unclean hands and feet in the palace? As the saying goes, it's hard to be a thief.
Change, if you have the first grade of junior high school, you will definitely have the fifteenth grade.
"Shui Xiu, why haven't you come out after taking a hand stove for so long?" Just as the two were in a stalemate, Nan Qiu walked in through the curtain. When he saw Mo'er kneeling on the ground, he looked startled and asked in surprise: "What's going on?
What are you doing kneeling on the ground for no reason?"
Shui Xiu sneered and said: "It's unprovoked. This slave has dirty hands and feet. He stole the master's jade beads. I just happened to catch him and he was about to report it to the master."
"Auntie, I didn't." Mo'er quickly defended herself, "I just heard that the master's chain was broken, and I was wondering if there were a few beads that fell on the ground and I didn't pick them up, so I came here to pick up the beads. It was indeed not stolen.
.Auntie, you must believe me."
"Which thief would admit it?" Shui Xiu didn't believe her at all. "Auntie, don't listen to her sweet talk. Pull her away quickly so that I can report it to the master."
Nan Qiu nodded, stepped forward and dragged Mo'er away. Looking at Shuixiu's leaving figure, Mo'er couldn't help but burst into tears. She really didn't steal, why no one wanted to believe her!
Nan Qiu looked at Mo'er with sympathy. After all, she could be said to have brought Mo'er up with her own hands, so she had some feelings for her. But that was all. The last thing the palace needed was sympathy, not to mention that this matter was indeed Mo's fault.
If a child makes a mistake, he should be punished. This is a matter of course.
Let's say that Ling Ruo was both surprised and angry after receiving Shuixiu's report in the front hall. Not to mention the palace, even in the palace, there had never been any cases of robbers and thieves. She had been kind to Mo'er many times, and the two of them met by chance.
He didn't have a close relationship with her, but he brought her all the way back to Beijing without telling her, and he allowed her to enter the palace. Even if he didn't repay such kindness, at least he shouldn't repay kindness with hatred.
"Master, I really don't have any slaves." Mo'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed, her face full of tears. She couldn't remember how many times she had defended herself, but no one was willing to believe it. Will Master believe it? Mo'er had no idea.
confidence.
Ling Ruo took care of the few beads that Shui Xiu brought up, with a gloomy look on her face. It wasn't until Mo'er knelt that her head started to bleed, that she softly said: "No need to kowtow, get up."
Mo'er felt happy in her heart, raised her head and said, "Master, do you believe that this slave is innocent?" This joy only lasted for a moment before turning into a deeper and helpless despair, because she saw Ling Ruo shaking his head and walking with pearls.
A cold light flashed across his cheek.
"Stealing is out of thief's heart; picking up is out of greed. No matter what it is, you are not the slave I need." Ling Ruo's words were equivalent to a death sentence for Mo'er, because she no longer even cared about the truth.
"No! Master, please spare me this time. I will definitely abide by my duties in the future and never do anything that displeases my master. If I leave the palace, I will have no relatives to go to and no place to live."
stay alive
If you are really going to starve to death on the street, your master is the Great Merciful and Compassionate Guanyin. I beg you to leave a way for me to survive." Mo'er kowtowed in fear, as if Ling Ruo would spare her as long as she kept kowtowing.
