"Excessive? Father can go out and ask around. Which family in the imperial capital has not been searched? What I am doing is just a small punishment but a big warning. Compared to other families, is this excessive?"
Huang Beiyue walked out directly, walked to the door, stretched out her hand and said, "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you help Butler Zhou up quickly!"
As soon as the several stunned servants heard Huang Beiyue's order, they subconsciously carried it out. They went up together and pulled up Butler Zhou, who was clutching the box like an octopus.
Dong Ling opened the lid of the box with one hand, and suddenly, a golden light rushed in. There was a box full of gold utensils! All kinds of exquisite utensils, inlaid with various gems, the light almost dazzled people's eyes.
.
Butler Zhou suddenly fell to the ground like a deflated rubber ball.
Dong Ling opened several boxes in succession. Every time he opened one, there would be gasps of air from around him. Those boxes were all filled with precious gold and silver utensils, antique calligraphy and paintings, jades, corals, jewelry, etc., all in a dazzling array.
, dizzying!
Huang Beiyue glanced at the frustrated Butler Zhou and thought that she had caught him just right! Just when he was about to speak, he was beaten with sticks and forced to tell him who asked him to hide these things.
He is a little housekeeper. Even if he had great courage, he would never dare to steal so many things from the eldest princess's house. Do you think those shrewd aunts are blind?
Before she could speak, Xiao Yuanyuan had already shouted: "What a deceitful slave who dares to hide so many things secretly? Do you know what the crime is?"
Xiao Yuanyuan walked out and kicked Butler Zhou over. If he had a sword in his hand, he would have killed him with one strike!
Butler Zhou said solemnly: "I know my mistake, I know my mistake. These things are not kept privately. They are put away and ready to be carried into the warehouse!"
| "Since it is going to be carried into the warehouse, why didn't you let it be searched just now?" Dong Ling was not so easy to coax and asked immediately.
Housekeeper Zhou said: "It turns out that I was just afraid that I would be wronged by the princess..."
"Nonsense! The princess knew everything, how could she wrongly accuse a villain like you! I think you are obviously lying!" Dong Ling shouted and raised his head. At this time, he was no longer afraid of Xiao Yuanyuan.
"Master, hiding so many things privately is a serious crime. As a slave, I'd better send it to Tingwei Temple for review!"
Tingwei Temple, if you go to Tingwei Temple, that's okay! That Tingwei Geng Zhong is famous for his uprightness. If he investigates, the entire eldest princess's mansion will be thoroughly investigated, and then no one can escape!
"Family scandals should not be made public. If this matter is revealed, how many people will laugh at it! What kind of gift should I give to Tingwei Temple?" Xiao Yuanyuan shouted in a low voice.
"Father is right." Huang Beiyue took a look at the treasures in the boxes and said with a cold expression, "Steward Zhou, my mother treated you well when she was alive. What you are doing now is really eye-opening!"
"Princess, Princess, please spare my life..." Housekeeper Zhou knelt on the ground, shook his head, and kept shouting for mercy.
Huang Beiyue said: "If I send you to Tingwei Temple, not only will you die for this crime, but all your wives, concubines, and children will be enslaved, steal from the master's house, and have a slave mark on your face.
There will be no liberation in this life!"
Housekeeper Zhou was trembling all over, his teeth were chattering, and he quietly raised his head to look at Xiao Yuanyuan and Aunt Qin. He couldn't get any of these treasures. He was just doing things for the master and Aunt Qin. If something happened, he couldn't let him
