255: calf trembling(1/2)
After Shen Yunhe finished his explanation, he looked at the trembling servants in the courtyard and left without changing his expression.
Not long after she left the courtyard, people in the courtyard started whispering to each other.
"Will the eldest lady have the final say in the future of the Duke's palace?"
"Who knows?"
"Look at the series of things that the eldest lady has done since she came back from the border. Which one of them was she not the mastermind behind?"
"Who says it's not?
After the eldest lady came back, she not only helped the madam to stand firm.
What do you think will happen to Aunt Meng?
Even the old lady helped the eldest lady..."
…
The housekeeper had just sent Shen Yunhe out of the courtyard. When he came back, he saw everyone whispering to each other.
The housekeeper immediately coughed heavily!
"Ahem!"
"Have you forgotten what the eldest lady gave you just now?
What do they say to each other?
Do you also want to be taken to Fengtian Mansion like the concierge?
Who taught you to talk about your master behind his back?
Have you learned all the rules from the dog’s belly?
Starting today, everyone who stays will learn the rules again!
The incident with the concierge and being bribed will never be allowed to happen again!"
The housekeeper scolded him with a cold face, saying that if the master is too talkative, he will breed a group of unruly slaves.
It's also his fault. He thought that nothing happened in the government these years, so he neglected to manage this aspect.
This led to today's situation.
The master, his wife, and the eldest lady did not punish him, which was already a great gift to him.
The servants lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to speak anymore. What happened today was too big for them to bear.
Shen Yunhe listened from a distance as the noise in the courtyard subsided, and then he went to Huaien Pavilion again.
Su Huairou had just returned to Huaien Pavilion and ordered the nanny to open the small warehouse.
"It's really strange. I keep the key to the small warehouse on my person. How did the concierge steal those things?"
Su Huairou checked around the warehouse. The warehouse was in a mess, and what the concierge took away were all small and delicate items.
Those large rewards are too ostentatious, and it is difficult to get rid of the gifts given by the emperor.
Therefore, things were left behind.
"Mom, you might as well check the windows or corners."
Shen Yunhe walked in with a bright smile on her face.
It is impossible to see that such important matters were handled just now.
"Window? Corner?"
The wet nurse looked at the intact window and the surrounding corners in confusion.
Didn't you see anything unusual?
Shen Yunhe looked at his mother and nanny, both of whom looked at her suspiciously.
He then kicked the window with a smile.
"Bang!"
The window that was originally in good condition was kicked out completely by Shen Yunhe!
Su Huairou:......
Nanny:!!!
They all looked at the empty windows and were dumbfounded.
"How...how did this window become like this?"
Su Huairou's mouth was wide open, and her surprised expression could even stuff an egg into it.
"This whole window was removed?"
The wet nurse touched the empty wall and couldn't believe it.
"When did the concierge do this? Why didn't I notice it at all?"
The wet nurse wants to slap herself in the mouth, how on earth does she keep the house...
"Yunhe, what's going on in the corner?"
Su Huairou hurriedly checked the four corners of the house, and she saw a hole in the northeast corner!
This hole had been blocked by a box before, and no one had ever discovered it.
"Of course it was the hole dug by the concierge. This hole is located in the northeast corner of our yard. There is an empty room outside the wall. Usually no one goes there.
Besides, there were few people in our yard, so he dug a little bit every day, so Xu Mouzhi dug a hole in the corner of the wall.
When I saw him at the door today, I found some fresh dirt on his body.
He can crawl in through the hole, but if he doesn't want to be known, the box cannot be returned to its original position after he gets out.
Therefore, this window is his way out.
My daughter also discovered that the concierge’s hands had marks scratched by wooden thorns.
Only then did we guess how he stole the things."
Shen Yunhe glanced at the hole. It was not big. It would be really difficult for the concierge to climb in through such a small hole.
No wonder he got himself dirty.
In fact, the concierge only needs to get a piece of black silk to tie up the box, pull the box over to block the hole when going out, and then cut off the black silk and take it away.
The only blame is that the concierge didn't think of this trick, otherwise he wouldn't have been injured.
It made her suspicious.
"Miss, you are so amazing... This is just in time for the government to solve the case."
The wet nurse listened to Shen Yunhe's analysis, but her brain couldn't keep up with her rhythm, so she just listened in a fog.
Anyway, she knew that the hole was made by the concierge and the window was destroyed by the concierge.
As for the process, she didn't understand anything.
Su Huairou turned pale after hearing this.
"I used to think that having only a wet nurse in the courtyard was enough, and I didn't want to add any more maids.
But I didn't expect... that the thieves would take advantage of it!
It seems... we still need to hire some maids."
Su Huairou was really frightened by this incident. Fortunately, Yun He came back in time and broke the matter.
Otherwise, the Duke's government would be guilty of a serious crime.
"Yun He...Mother is really scared..."
Since Shen Yunhe came back from fighting, she has been holding on, not wanting to hold Shen Yunhe back.
But...she really couldn't hold on this time.
"Mom! It's okay, it's just that he is too bad. Seeing that Aunt Meng was divorced, he wanted to make a last profit and leave.
He is Aunt Meng's confidant, so naturally he will not be of the same mind as the Duke of Guo.
After today's extensive investigation of these servants, such a thing will never happen again."
Shen Yunhe hugged Su Huairou gently. She knew that Su Huairou had always had a soft temper.
It was very difficult for Su Huairou to be able to hold on for so long.
"I know...but I was just scared. Yunhe...Mother, mother's legs are weak..."
Su Huairou spoke in embarrassment.
Shen Yunhe, however, didn't take it seriously and nodded slightly to the nanny: "Nanny, please help me go to the house to rest. Leave this place to me."
The nanny quickly came up and supported Su Huairou.
At this moment, the master and servant were completely out of ideas, relying entirely on Shen Yunhe for support.
