Next to him, Mrs. Qian snorted coldly, "Don't tell us that these agarwoods were brought back by Master Li, who was your apprentice at Zuixian Ming. Although I don't know much about spices, I also know that these agarwoods are worth noting.
Three to five hundred taels each. No matter how kind Li Yunniang is to you, she will never let you bring so much agarwood home."
"It's your blessing that you can learn to make incense from Master Li. Our whole family is happy for you. If you don't cherish this opportunity, how could you do something that is against etiquette and is despised by the world? What's more,
Let everyone in the Qing family be humiliated?"
The implication was that she had stolen all the agarwood from Zui Xian Ming.
When Madam Qing heard this, she couldn't help but frown. Her eyes and even her tone of voice had lost their former kindness and gentleness, and they became serious and sharp as she said, "Yes, girl, why is there such a thing in your yard?"
So much agarwood?”
Although she believed in her own judgment about people, she felt that this girl would not be stupid enough to do such a thing that would destroy her reputation and degenerate herself. But with so much agarwood in front of her, she had to doubt it.
Qing Wan is quite magnanimous. Faced with so many people watching the show and questioning eyes inside and outside the house, she can still act calm and composed. However, this kind of magnanimity is beyond the reach of many people: "These agarwoods are indeed Qing Wan's."
.However, it was not stolen from the incense shop as my mother said, but the maid Qingyuan picked it from the mountain."
"If grandma and mother don't believe it, they can send someone to ask Master Li now if any spices have been lost in the incense workshop? It must be that such a large amount, if it is really lost, the incense workshop will definitely not miss it."
"Besides, these are raw agarwood that has just been picked from the tree and has not been completely processed. As long as you find someone who knows spices, you will know at a glance whether what Qing Wan said is true."
Qian sneered and said: "You said your maid picked these? Which maid has such great ability? Can she pick so much agarwood at one time? Doesn't she know that these spices are enough for her to use for a lifetime? If
If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to secretly take it to the incense shop and sell it, why bother bringing it all back and handing it over to you?"
Over there, Daukou received Zisu's hint and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Go back to the old lady, madam, these agarwoods are slaves and..."
I was about to say that I went up the mountain with the lady to pick it, but then I realized that the lady only said that the maid beside me picked it, and did not mention herself. What's more, Zisu had just said before that if the lady knew that the lady had gone out of the house privately, what would happen to her?
It's hard to deal with the young lady in a family way. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stop in time.
"With what?" Seeing her mid-sentence, Qian couldn't help but continue to ask with a cold face.
Since that girl doesn't admit it, maybe we can ask something from the maid next to her.
Cardamom had an idea and temporarily changed his words: "I met him when I went up the mountain to collect herbs."
To Qian's ears, these words were undoubtedly like a snowballing lie, full of loopholes. At the same time, he became even more convinced in his heart that what the maid had picked up was just a temporary fabrication by the master and servant.
from.
So he continued to ask relentlessly: "Going up the mountain to collect medicine? Oh? Why didn't I know that our Qing family's maid also works part-time as a medicine boy?"
