Chapter 538 Mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind
Shen Youfu stared at Shen Zhu and asked her to take back Shen Zhang's small box, otherwise her legs would be broken. Shen Zhu's legs would soften in fear. She was still afraid of Shen Youfu, but she thought that she was now a wife. Her identity was much higher than that of the fifth brother. There was no need to be afraid of Fu can't break her leg. For the sake of Shen Ziju's future, he won't do it. She is not afraid.
"Dad, you can't wrong me. It's my mother who misunderstood me. Her box was lost, but it can't be said that I took it. I got married. I don't have much time at home. If I take it, then anyone in this family is more suspicious than me. Why do you blame me?"
Shen Zhu began to cry out.
Shen Youfu slapped the table and scolded, "You dead girl! Does this mean that I took this box with you?! What's the use of taking that? Don't think I didn't know that you were thinking about your mother all morning! Even if someone at home takes it, it will only be you! It's impossible for me and my son! Your fifth sister-in-law didn't know that she had this box at all. She is a lady, and even if she knew it, she wouldn't do that kind of thing!"
Shen Ziju also nodded. In fact, he also felt that his sister might do such a thing. If there was jewelry or something in his mother's box, it must have been taken by his sister. Although his wife did not like it in his heart, he knew that she was not the kind of greedy person.
Shen Ziju didn't say anything. He didn't want to offend Shen Zhu. This sister is narrow-minded. He knows best.
Shen Zhu pouted and said, "It is also possible that the servants in the family stole it. They don't doubt outsiders and the family. How can there be such a thing?" It's so heartbreaking!"
When Shen Youfu heard this, it made sense to think about it. He said to Shen Zhang, "Is it someone else's stealing it?"
Shen Zhang shook his head and said, "It's not that you don't know. I've collected that box well. Usually, when no one is taken out, if someone may see it, it's just this girl! Pearl, if you take it, give it back to your mother! That's something important!"
Shen Zhang said to Shen Zhu almost in a pleading tone at the end.
Everything in that box is valuable. In addition to a few pearls, there are also jade bracelets, which are all exquisitely carved. Even those with high visions will brighten their eyes when they look at it. Not to mention the value, it can also make people's hearts greedy. However, the most important thing about these pearl jewelry is not its value, but its former owner.
When Shen Zhang was young, he used to be the maid of a large family. When he was killed in his master's house, he stole the things from his master's house and ran out. At that time, she thought that after the master of the family died, she could live a good life on these things, but she didn't expect that when she ran out and inquired about the master's family, she actually knew that the other party was fine and was arresting her everywhere, and accidentally heard someone say that the master's house had been stared at by pa As long as you see the things in her hand, you will catch her.
Shen Zhang was so scared that she immediately ran away with these things. She didn't dare to take action on these things. She has been hiding them all the time. Women love to look at all the jewelry. Although she can't exchange these things for money over the years, she keeps them in her hand. She usually takes them out to have a look and knows that I am happy in my heart.
Shen Zhang wants to give these things to Shen Zhu, but what she wants to do is to wait until she feels that she is going to die, and she wants to tell her the harm of these things. When she dies, Shen Zhu will either put them away or find a way to sell them without leaving a trace, or Just keep it. Even if someone finds it, it is said to be bought, so it will be all right. But I didn't expect it to be gone now!
Shen Zhangshi is now looking forward to Shen Zhu taking it, so that at least in her own home, she should have given Shen Zhu in advance. She was afraid that these things would fall into the hands of outsiders, in case she was found by her original master's family, in case the other party was still remembering these things about her crimes in those years, and in case she was found, not only she was finished, but also the Shen family was over! Her daughter is the sister-in-law of the imperial concubine, and her son is a five-grade official!
Shen Zhang thought that her children would lose her reputation because of her, and she was going to go crazy.
"Pearl, if you take it, you can admit it! Those things are given to you. You just need to tell your mother that those things are in your hands! Mother just wants to know that those things are in your hands! That thing can't be seen by others!"
Shen Zhang looked at Shen Zhu and hoped that she would nod.
When Shen Zhu saw that Shen Zhang was begging for herself, she was also worried. Is there any inside story about this thing? She also knows that those things are good. Among other things, she only said that those pearls are very valuable and rare. Her mother is just a rural woman, and it is very unusual to have such valuable things. This thing is not easy to come by, is it? Her mother said that if others can't see it, will it still cause trouble?!
Shen Zhu was also scared.
Shen Youfu and Shen Ziju were also worried. One of them asked Shen Zhang what was in the box, and the other asked Shen Zhu if she had taken it. If they took it, hand it over quickly.
Shen Zhang said to Shen Zhu, "Pearl, my mother swore to you here that as long as that thing is in your hand, that thing is yours! But you have to let me see and let me know that they are in your hands! If I lie to you, I will be struck by lightning!"
"Mother!"
Shen Ziju quickly called Shen Zhang and said to Shen Zhu, "Pearl, don't tell the truth! Are you going to kill your mother?!!"
Shen Youfu also stared at Shen Zhu.
Shen Zhu couldn't stand it at this time. She stepped back a few steps and whispered, "I took it. Last time I came back, I took it away while my mother was not in the room."
"You dirty things! If it hadn't been for the fact that you were married, I didn't want your mother-in-law to take you back, and I wanted to interrupt your hand at midnight!" Shen Youfu got up and scolded, "I stole something from my home!" You are so good at it! Where are the things! I'll bring it back for you!"
Shen Youfu thought that he hadn't seen those things yet. If that thing was really good, Shen Zhang said to his daughter, but he didn't give it!
Shen Ziju looked at Shen Zhu with some disappointment and said, "Jull, why did you steal my mother's things? Is it short of money? You would tell me!"
Shen Zhu wiped her tears aggrievedly and said, "Brother, your family is also short of silver. How can I ask you for more money again! I just saw that my mother always kept such a box and wanted to see what was inside, but I couldn't open it, so I took it back. When I opened it and saw what was inside, I was reluctant to take it back. I was afraid that my mother would know that I took it and blame me! Mother, you are also a woman. You should know how much your daughter will like those things. Since you were going to give it to me, don't blame me!"
"Take it back and let me see if everything is there, so that I can feel at ease! Then I'll tell you why this thing can't be seen by others! Then you will know it's awesome!"
Shen Zhang said angrily that he just wanted to see those things again.
Shen Zhu said, "Mom, wait, I'll go back and get it."
"Go, go, go!"
Shen Zhang urged.
Shen Zhu called the maid to leave, but Shen Ziju stopped.
"Pearl, go back and leave Xiaolan behind."
Xiaolan's legs softened as soon as she heard this. She looked at Shen Ziju in a panic. Seeing that he looked at himself, she hurriedly lowered her head.
Shen Ziju narrowed his eyes and thought that Xiaolan was really a little inappropriate. Just now, he noticed this Xiaolan and felt something was wrong, so he looked at her when he said this. Sure enough, Xiaolan's reaction was the same as he thought.
Shen Zhu said in surprise, "Brother, why do you let Xiaolan stay? I brought her a maid today. There are other servants who have to clean up at home. Let me take her back.
Shen Zhujue doesn't have a maid around her side to make people laugh. Only when she brings a subordinate can she feel superior.
Shen Zhangshi understood Shen Ziju's meaning. Her heart jumped and looked at Xiaolan's eyes cold. Seeing that Shen Zhu still didn't understand, she stared at her and said, "Listen to your fifth brother, go back and see what's in the box!"
Shen Zhu was not stupid. Shen Zhang stared at her. She understood. She looked at Xiaolan and saw Xiaolan bowing her head and shaking all over. She was shocked and thought that she would not be a mantis catching cicada, making the yellow finch behind, right?! She stared at Xiaolan fiercely, turned around and went out. She walked fast and didn't care about the dignity of any lady.
Shen Zhu returned to the Wang family, returned to her yard, bombarded the servants, went back to the house, and found the box from a secret place. She opened it first and looked over. As a result, her face turned white. She found that one hairpin and two beads were missing, and another piece of flat pendant was missing!
"Good for you, Xiaolan! It's really impatient to live!"
Shen Zhu was so angry that she couldn't wait to tear up Xiaolan. She actually let the little girl around her who had never seen it calculate!
Shen Zhu found something and wrapped the box, and then hurried back to Shen's house and entered the room. She put the cloth bag on the table, then went to Xiaolan and waved and slapped her in the face.
Xiaolan shouted and began to cry.
"Good, you little bitch! How dare you steal my things?! You don't want this hand, do you?! Say it! Where did you take the stolen things? If you don't hand it over, I'll make your life worse than death! Say it quickly!"
Shen Zhu scolded and twisted Xiaolan's ears. Thinking of those treasures, her heart was dripping blood, and she couldn't wait to pull Xiaolan's ears off.
Xiaolan screamed in pain and cried, "Young lady, spare my life! Young lady, spare my life! I didn't steal it! I really don't have it!"
"You didn't steal it. What are you afraid of?! Our eyes are so bright! Tell the truth, if you see something, you can be spared to die, otherwise I will let someone sell you to the brothel first, and then let people beat you every day! Believe it or not, you won't live for more than a month! Those babies, you have lost your life!" RS
