After hearing Meng Yan's words, the expression on his face was a little strange, and his eyes were a little sharper, making Meng Yan feel a little weak, and she lowered her head and dared not look at her mother's eyes again.

"It's just a little silk thread. If you can't find it, just let the maid go to the warehouse to marry again. Why do you have to be so hurry? Look at you, your hair is messy, and you don't have to be sorted out first, and you're going out." Mrs. Meng changed into a gentle face and cleaned Meng Yan's hair. She glanced at Dingxiang with dissatisfaction, "You are the maid in front of the lady. You will be dowrying with the lady in the future. The lady forgot for a moment. Why don't you, a maid, remind the lady? It's not a furious thing. How can you go out without tidying up your demeanor? Wouldn't it be a joke that Miss Meng's family is not rules when you see it?"

"I know my mistake." Dingxiang did not dare to argue and sincerely bowed her head to admit her mistake.

"Mother, I didn't pay attention for a while, so don't blame Dingxiang." Meng Yan pulled Mrs. Meng's arm like a coquettish person.

"I will act coquettishly." Mrs. Meng became more and more kind. She took the soup held by the maid in the back and smiled: "This is the three-fresh mushroom soup stewed by my mother, drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you, mother." Meng Yan likes to drink the three-fresh mushroom soup cooked by her mother, which is better than any cook.

Mrs. Meng waited for Meng Yan to finish a small bowl of soup, and then said, "Yan'er, my mother has been a little busy recently and Ignore you a little. How have you learned the rules? Are there any difficulties?"

"No, it's all good, the nannies are very dedicated." When Meng Yan said this, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the dressing table. The necklace was originally placed in a small box under the dressing table. She wanted to wear it on the day of her marriage, so that she could get the blessing of her second sister.

"Really?" said Mrs. Meng, glanced at Dingxiang standing next to her, and said, "The maid in your room is too unsatisfied. I have come in for a while, why is it just a maid serving me? How inconvenient."

"It was my daughter who told them not to have to serve them in front of me if they had anything to do." Meng Yan paused for a moment and whispered, "I heard that the second sister is the same with the princess."

When Mrs. Meng saw her daughter's shy look, she couldn't help but sigh. Xiaofu was living a good life. Everyone around her envied her. Her daughter had not lost her mind and wanted to marry into a high school. However, she still couldn't help but compare her second sister from time to time, and deliberately or unintentionally learn from her second sister's style.

It should be noted that this is just a little fur, and it is easy to become a dog without becoming a tiger.

Mrs. Meng did not remind her daughter of these things in person, but just patted her daughter's little hand and asked Dingxiang to serve the lady well. Then she took the maid and the old lady away.

When she returned to her yard, Mrs. Meng's face couldn't help but sink. It seemed that she was too negligent in taking care of her daughter.

After Madam Meng left, Meng Yan remembered that the pearl necklace had not yet fallen. So she discussed it with Ding Xiang and the others. She subconsciously lied in front of her mother. Now she calmed down and thought. But it was a little difficult to deal with later. If she was going to find Meng Yurou to ask for the pearl necklace, it would be fine if Meng Yurou accepted it happily. If she didn't recognize it, she would definitely alarm her mother if she made a noise.

Then losing the pearl necklace and lying are two crimes, and mistakes are added to mistakes. How disappointed should the mother be with herself?

Meng Yan couldn't help but feel distressed. It would have been better to say it if I had known it. It's really a bit difficult to get off the ground now.

Dingxiang looked at the miserable look on the side, hesitated for a long time before offering a suggestion: "Miss, otherwise I would ask my servants to find the maids whom Miss Yurou served me and let them help me secretly take back the necklace. As for Meng Yurou, if she is cheap, she can't really treat her as a thief and send her to the official for investigation."

Meng Yan thought about it, after all, Meng Yurou was also surnamed Meng, and it was reported that she had a bad reputation for the Meng family. She could only be so careful in the future, so she told Dingxiang: "Go quietly, don't make a sound, let the two maids be more strict, just take back the necklace, don't let your mother know."

Dingxiang said: "Miss, please rest assured. Juer and Mei'er are very kind to me on weekdays. They will definitely not say anything. Besides, Miss Yurou steals things. They are not optimistic about being maids. Let the wife know that they will be punished."

Meng Yan then let Dingxiang go.

When Dingxiang went there, Meng Yan was still a little restless and almost stabbed her fingers when she did needlework.

The more anxious the time passes, the slower it goes. After finally waiting for Dingxiang to come back, she asked anxiously: "How is it? Are you looking for it?"

Dingxiang looked not very happy, Meng Yan couldn't help but feel heart sank. Didn't she find it?

Just as he was about to ask, Dingxiang brought out a string of necklaces.

Meng Yan didn't see clearly, so she said happily: "So you found it, this ghost girl is scaring me."

Dingxiang seemed to be reluctant to remind: "Miss, please see clearly before you talk about it."

Meng Yan lowered her head and looked closely and was immediately unhappy. The necklace was broken. It was supposed to be Meng Yurou's rough hands and feet, but it was not a big deal. It should be fine to find a master to repair it. The precious pearl necklace is pearls.

However, Dingxiang spoke again, "Miss, I have counted it, there are two less pearls."

"What?" Meng Yan screamed.

"Shh, Miss, don't be so loud, please hear it carefully, Madam." Dingxiang hurriedly made a jewellery that kept the sound.

Meng Yan woke up and lowered her voice and said, "Why are there two missing? Have you found it clearly?"

Dingxiang said: "Miss, I searched very carefully and found a little pearl powder in the corner... I think it was Miss Yurou who ground the pearl into powder... and applied her face."

"She used such precious pearls to apply to her face?" Meng Yan was so angry that her little face turned red. Even the pearl powder used by wealthy people was just those that were not very round. Anyway, it was the same when it was ground into powder. Who is so flawless and big and round pearls to apply to her face?

"This is probably... I heard from the maid who is silly saying that the ladies in the mansion all use pearl powder to apply their faces." Dingxiang lowered her head and did not dare to look at her lady. Apart from her lady, there were no other ladies in the mansion. She dared not explicitly say that Miss Yurou was learning from her lady.

Meng Yan was angry, and she was reluctant to let it go, but she was about to get married. Her mother said that using pearl powder to apply her face would make her look whiter and rosy. Just as the second sister ordered someone to send a box, so she used it.

"Miss..." Dingxiang hesitated, "I asked Mei'er to take Miss Yurou and the others to the garden to play, and then I went in with Ju'er to look for it. Miss Yurou did not alarm, do you think you should report this to your wife?"

"No...no need." Meng Yan thought about it, and it was ground into powder and could not find it anymore, and there was no need to let her mother know about the right and wrong. Well, there was only two missing. She also had a few best pearls. She found two of them of the same size and strung them at the tail. No one could see them with the imagination.

However, this broken necklace must be found outside to find craftsmen to help tie it up. She cannot go out and cannot be known about this matter. What should I do?

Finally, Dingxiang offered her advice and quietly went out, saying that the lady had a jewelry chain button that was broken. She wanted to repair it. The mansion checked the maid and his wife out of the house very strictly, but if she said that she would repair the chain for the lady and find two mothers to accompany her, she would go to the small gold shop nearest at the intersection. It would be fine, and she would not disturb the lady. Even if the lady knew about it, she would probably not say anything.

Meng Yan thought Dingxiang's method was very appropriate. Dingxiang's maid was really good. She would definitely be much easier to marry with a maid with such a thoughtful maid in the future.

After making a decision, Meng Yan felt that it was not appropriate to go back, so she found a relatively rough gold chain, broke the buttons, and asked Dingxiang to take them to repair them.

Dingxiang went out with two chains and a few taels of broken silver.

In the evening, when no one came back, Meng Yan couldn't help but feel anxious, afraid that something would happen, but she couldn't go there with great fanfare, so she could only quietly instruct another maid Qingmei to go to the door to take a look.

After dinner, not only did Dingxiang not come back, but Qingmei, who had gone to the door, didn't come back. Meng Yan suddenly felt that things were not very good.

At this time, Ping's mother came to invite her, saying that the lady had something to do and asked the lady to discuss it.

Meng Yan felt a bad premonition in her heart, but she had to follow Ping's mother. After walking for a while, she felt something was wrong, so she stopped and said vigilantly: "This is not the way to the mother's yard. Ping's mother, where are you going to take me?"

"Miss, Madam is waiting for the lady in front of An Ningju." Mother Ping said with a smile.

"Why do you need to live in Anningju?" Meng Yan was even more alert. Anningju was the most remote courtyard. There were few people who went there on weekdays. It seemed that there was only one old lady guarding her. The biggest function was that if a maid made a mistake, she would be locked up in Anningju. The elderly nanny said that it was the one used by the Meng family to detain the misfortune who made mistakes. However, now the Meng family has no aunt, and Anningju has become a place to detain some decent nanny maids.

Ping's mother said, "This... I will know when the lady arrives."

"I won't leave if you don't say it." Meng Yan looked like I didn't believe you.

Mother Ping smiled and said, "Miss, I am the only one, and you have Qingmei and two servants around you."

Meng Yan looked at the three people around her. Qingmei didn't say that she was a maid like herself, but the two maids were big and round. Her mother specially prepared for her, saying that even if she was at home, she wouldn't be too relaxed. There must be a few maids in the yard that could match men, so as not to have a maid and a maid who suddenly became hysterical, and a bunch of maids who were powerless would be at a loss.

My mother said this on the surface, but in fact she knew that her mother’s true meaning was to prevent anyone from having evil intentions. So unless she was in her own yard, she would definitely want these two servants to follow her after leaving the yard.

Ping's mother said it was true. Meng Yan felt that with the four of hers, Ping's mother didn't look very strong. She brought so many people in her family and was afraid of a servant, so she was too majestic.

So he continued to walk forward with Ping's mother. It was almost dusk, and it was probably psychologically effective. Even if there were a few people around him, Meng Yan still felt so panicked. Fortunately, An Ningju arrived soon, with lanterns on the door of the yard, and two servants in her mother's yard stood beside him.

Seeing them coming from afar, Cuiping, the maid next to her mother, came out and came up, smiling and said, "Miss is here, Madam is here, Madam is here, Miss, please."

Meng Yan then felt relieved to go in.

But when he arrived in the yard, Ping's mother said, "Miss, Madam told me to let the lady go in alone."

Meng Yan immediately stopped again and didn't take a maid. What's going on? She was worried about her mother, Ping's mother and others who were acting so sneaky.

At this time, Mrs. Meng's voice came from the room: "Have Yan'er arrived?"

Ping's mother said, "Mrs., the lady is here."

Meng Yan heard that it was her mother's voice, and she felt completely relieved and then went in.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my mother sitting on her head with a calm face, and her maid Dingxiang was tied with her hands and feet, slumped on the ground, her mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief. Seeing her constantly struggling, she made a whimpering sound and her face was covered with tears.

Meng Yan said in surprise: "Mother, what's wrong with this...?"

Mrs. Meng didn't say anything, but only gave a wink at Ping's mother who followed Meng Yan in.

Ping's mother took out a tray from somewhere and handed it to Meng Yan.

Meng Yan saw that the tray was filled with her pearl necklace. She seemed to understand something at the moment and explained anxiously: "Mother, it was her daughter who asked Dingxiang to take the necklace to repair, and it was not about Dingxiang's business."

Mrs. Meng said lightly: "You count the total of how many pearls, it's not too late to tell this maid again."

Meng Yan counted, with a total of twenty-two pieces, and two more. Then the first thought was that it was wrong, the number was wrong. There were originally twenty pearl chains, but Meng Yurou stole two and ground them into powder. Later, she added two more colors and asked the lilac to be sent to the gold shop for repair. So there should be twenty pieces, so how could there be two more?

After taking a closer look, there were twenty of them exactly the same color, and two were obviously worse, the two she added later. Meng Yan looked at Dingxiang in disbelief, "Dingxiang, you stole two, come back and told me that you only found eighteen?"

Dingxiang shook her head whimperingly, just unable to speak.

Mrs. Meng said, "If this is the case, it's okay. This maid is just greedy for a little bit of a bargain, but it's obviously much more serious. Let her tell you by herself."

As he said that, Mrs. Meng asked her mother to take off the cloth from Dingxiang's mouth.

Just when he could speak, Dingxiang cried at Meng Yan: "Miss, please spare me, I have no choice, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Ping's mother stuffed Dingliu's mouth at the gesture of Mrs. Meng and said coldly: "Madam and Miss are busy with their noble people. They are not here to listen to your complaints. Let's quickly explain the matter to the lady. Don't be wronged by others anymore. If you talk nonsense, you will have to teach you a lesson for your wife and lady. If you say more nonsense, I will knock off your teeth."

After saying that, Ping's mother took off the veil stuffed in Dingxiang's mouth again. (To be continued ~^~)
