"Auntie! All the dishes have been washed."

Xue Zijin walked behind the cook and tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"Go, go, go...after you finish washing, go back by yourself. Do you want me to send you off?"

The cook pulled back the corner of her clothes without looking back, only to see that the dice she had just rolled turned into the smallest number.

Cook: "..."

The others took a closer look and burst into laughter.

Xue Zijin touched his nose, turned around and ran out of the courtyard quickly.

"It's so unlucky... It's all because of that damn girl who gave me a hard time..."

Hearing the woman's crying and cursing sounds coming from the yard, Xue Zijin rolled his eyes speechlessly.

cut!

I am a bad person and I still blame others.

As soon as Xue Zijin turned around a corridor, he saw Wang Shuzhen coming in a hurry.

"Mom! Why did you come out?"

Wang Shuzhen waited around in the room, but never waited for her daughter to come back.

All kinds of bad thoughts came to my mind.

After scaring herself into a cold sweat, she ran out to find someone.

When she saw her daughter with both beard and tail, her hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

Wang Shuzhen wiped away her disappointed tears, held her daughter's hand, and tried her best to smile.

"Mom couldn't sit still in the house, so she came out to greet you."

As she was speaking, she noticed that her daughter's little hands were cold in her palms.

It's early summer now, and the weather is still cold even though it's warm at first.

But my daughter’s hands shouldn’t be as cold as ice dumplings, right?

"What did you do? Why are your hands so cold?"

"It's okay. When I was delivering the dishes to the fire room, I helped the cook wash some dishes."

Xue Zijin put his hand into his mother-in-law's pocket, but his face showed two small tiger teeth with a smile.

Silly girl, being manipulated and still smiling so happily.

Wang Shuzhen sighed and put her hands into her pockets.

While holding the two ice dumplings tightly, he led the people back.

The mother and daughter returned to their own room, took off their shoes and climbed into bed.

Xue Zijin thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but he didn't expect that as soon as his head hit the pillow, his eyes closed on their own.

Wang Shuzhen still wanted to talk to her daughter about the Wang family, but before she could figure out where to start, she heard the sound of long breathing beside her.

well!

What a child.

She touched her daughter's head lovingly.

Go to sleep!

If you are so good, your grandmother and grandfather will definitely like you.

Wang Shuzhen sighed, thinking about it now, she really owed her parents and her daughter so much.

…

The next day.

Xue Zijin was woken up by the banging on the door.

Wang Shuzhen, who had already gotten up, saw the door being banged loudly. She quickly helped her daughter put on her clothes and then ran over to open the door.

"You...what are you doing?"

Wang Shuzhen immediately panicked when she saw a dozen women swarming in and starting to look around.

Xue Zijin knew what they were looking for, but she didn't feel guilty at all.

Even if these people dig into the ground of their rooms, they still won't be able to find a grain of food.

The pound of wheat she brought back last night was handed over to the system when there was a knock on the door.

She hid the other bag among the flowers outside the kitchen.

Xue Zijin walked to his cheap mother, held her hand, and asked the woman standing at the door with a confused look: "Mother Zhang! What are they looking for?"

Mrs. Zhang had a cold face and did not answer. She looked around the furnishings in the room, and after making sure there was nothing hidden inside, she asked: "I heard from the cook that you personally sent the bowl to the fire room last night?"

"OK!"

Xue Zijin blinked and asked innocently: "What's wrong, Mother Zhang... Did I do something wrong?"

Seeing that the little girl didn't look scared at all, Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips, and the sharpness in her eyes softened by a third.

Early this morning, Manager Qiu of the Huofang came to report in a panic, saying that the lock of the granary had been broken and all the grain inside had been emptied.

But last night, only a strange maid went to the fire room.

After tracing it down, the so-called maid turned out to be this girl.

She just brought people here to take a look.

However, she didn't think that this little girl could empty out all those several thousand kilograms of food without alerting anyone.

"Something happened in the yamen. You and your mother should stay in the room and don't go out. Someone will bring the food to you. Don't run to the fire room again."

After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she left with a group of women who were destined to gain nothing.

This day.

Mother and daughter just stayed in the house without even leaving the house.

In the evening, when her mother-in-law brought food over, Xue Zijin asked her about the latest progress in the missing food case.

"Bah... the case of missing food... then Mrs. Qiu has the nerve to bring trouble to Mother Zhang."

This old lady came and brought three meals in a row, but she was short-changed by Mrs. Xue Zijin. She had already become an acquaintance with her.

When asked about the case that had been going on all day, the mother-in-law sat down next to Xue Zijin and told her everything she knew.

It turns out that the man who manages the fire house, Mrs. Qiu, owes gambling debts.

Last night, while Mrs. Qiu was asleep, she took the key to the granary and emptied it secretly.

After that, he broke the lock and pretended to be a burglary.

But when he was selling grain to grain merchants, he was stolen by the government servants who had been targeting him for a long time.

"That man, Mrs. Qiu, used to steal Mrs. Qiu's keys and sell the grain in the granary.

But he didn't take much in the past, so everyone didn't want to offend Mrs. Qiu, so they pretended not to see it.

I never thought he would be so bold this time and dare to empty out all the granaries. They deserve to be jailed."

After hearing this, Xue Zijin was so happy that the corners of his lips slightly curled up.

After sending the mother-in-law away, the mother and daughter lay on the bed and began to discuss their escape plan tomorrow.

"Mom, I found a dog hole under the corner of the fire room yesterday. We will crawl out of the dog hole tomorrow at five o'clock. When daybreak, they find that the person is missing, and we will all run out of Weiyu County."

Xue Zijin rested his head in Wang Shuzhen's arms and smiled so happily.

But when Wang Shuzhen heard that she was going to get into a dog hole, her expression froze.

"Drill... drill into a dog hole?"

Hearing the hesitation in the mother-in-law's tone, Xue Zijin hurriedly suppressed the smile that reached behind his ears, got up and supported his body with one hand to do some ideological work for her.

"Mom! I know it doesn't sound good to tell anyone about going into a dog hole, but as long as we don't say it, who would know that we have gone through a dog hole before!

If Magistrate Seqiao comes back, we won’t be able to leave even if we want to..."

"Yes, yes! If you want to get into a dog hole, just go into the dog hole. As long as you can escape."

As soon as she heard that the magistrate of Segei County was coming back, Wang Shuzhen was so frightened that she hurriedly agreed.

In the darkness, the corners of Xue Zijin's lips curled up slightly.

This cheap mother-in-law is better off being stupid!
