Chapter 28 How is it more tiring than fighting with those concubines?

Because stealing the dowry is not glorious, Pei Yu was afraid that too many people would know about it and the news would leak out.

I gave the servants in my yard a day off last night.

She gave the two remaining gatekeepers some food and wine, and told them to close the gate and go back to their rooms to play, so they didn't have to get up early the next day.

Therefore, the only one who knew about this was the maid.

Pei Yu immediately pulled the maid and shouted like this, and the two old women guarding the door of her courtyard were awakened and hurriedly put on their clothes and came out.

"Girl, what's going on?"

Pei Yu pulled the maidservant and scolded her, "You two lazy bastards! You don't know what's happening in the front hall. You don't know how this thief stole the stolen goods and caused such a big disaster. You still have the nerve to ask me, the master, what's wrong!"

The two maids were already used to her capriciousness and immediately admitted their mistake: "Yesterday was the Second Master's wedding day, and we old servants were happy with him. We didn't expect that we would make mistakes. We hope that the young lady will forgive us."

Pei Yu was just putting on an act. When the two maids finished speaking, they immediately pointed at one of them and ordered, "Go to the front hall and invite the mistress, the second mistress, and the eldest mistress over. Tell them that I've caught the thief with stolen goods."

Although the old woman didn't understand what was going on, she didn't dare to be vague and responded immediately. When she was about to leave, she was stopped again.

Pei Yu stared at her and said, "It's shameful that there's been a theft in my courtyard. Don't make it known to everyone!"

The old woman immediately said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will only speak quietly."

She trotted to the front hall.

Only Luo Zhen and some servants were in the front hall.

Xu was worried about her servants searching the house, so she took Zhou with her.

Luo Zhen couldn't do it no matter what, so she just stayed in the front hall and watched the maids and the companions continue to count the dowry.

When she saw a strange old woman coming over, she knew what was going on and just waited for her to speak first.

The old woman came over and bowed, saying, "This old servant greets the Second Madam."

Luo Zhen asked, "Which courtyard are you from? What are you doing here at this time?"

The old woman said, "This old servant is from the young lady's courtyard. Our young lady has something to say to the Second Madam."

Luo Zhen said, "So you are from my aunt's courtyard. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

The old woman walked up to Luo Zhen, bringing with her a sour and foul smell.

Luo Zhen's brows immediately raised.

Cai Lu, who was beside her, immediately reached out and pushed the woman away, slapping her across the face and cursing, "What are you doing here, you dirty, filthy bitch? How can a filthy bitch like you get close to the Second Madam?"

Luo Zhen watched Cai Lu finish beating someone, then she said, "Cai Lu, Mom just wanted to say something to me, why did you hit her?"

Cai Lu said indignantly, "I know that the young lady has always been kind to her servants, but I can't let them be so unruly. This old woman smells so sour and dirty, and she rushed towards the young lady... If this happened in our house, the mistress would have dragged her away and spanked her with a stick long ago!"

Luo Zhen frowned and said, "Okay, it's just a small matter, why are you talking so much?"

The master and servant sang in unison.

Wanting to establish rules but fearing damage to their reputation, the wicked man only taught the maids to do them.

The old woman was quite old after all, so it was obvious.

But she didn't do anything wrong, why should you set rules for her?

The old woman thought she was very tactful and as she was an old woman with many years of experience, she had never been slapped in the face by Pei Yu, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face by Luo Zhen.

In front of so many people.

The old woman covered her extremely hot face and felt extremely angry.

I thought to myself, since you don’t give me face, don’t blame me for making things difficult for you.

Didn’t the girl specifically tell me not to tell anyone?

So many people were watching, it wasn't that she was disobeying orders.

"It was all because of this old servant's carelessness and ignorance of the rules that I offended Second Madam. Miss Cailu was right to hit me, but our young lady wanted to talk to Second Madam and couldn't delay it. Please, Miss Cailu, let this old servant finish his words."

The old woman's voice suddenly rose as she spoke: "Our daughter said she has found the stolen goods. Please ask the second madam, the wife, and the eldest madam to come over together!"

Luo Zhen had never thought that a servant would dare to seek revenge on his master. He only pretended to be surprised and said, "My little aunt actually got the stolen goods? Cailu, hurry up, let's go and take a look."

She came over, supported by Cai Lu. The old woman didn't dare to get close to her anymore. She bowed and said, "This old servant still has to pass on a message to the Madam and the Grandmother. I will withdraw now."

Luo Zhen nodded, watched the old woman leave, and then instructed the other three maids and other servants to take care of the dowry. Then she took Cai Lu to Pei Yuyuan.

When she reached a place with fewer people, she sighed deeply and a look of fatigue appeared on her face.

She had been married for less than a day and had already encountered so many things.

Aunt Shen is fine.

She had seen a lot of people like this in her dreams and believed she could deal with them.

But her mother-in-law Xu and sister-in-law Pei Yu were the only ones she had ever seen in her life.

Let’s not talk about the Xu family for now.

Pei Yu is actually no worse than her mother.

Stealing the dowry of your newly married sister-in-law?

It's really jaw-dropping.

But this guy is so stupid that he doesn't even know how to steal.

She asked someone to bring wine and food over, or asked the maidservant beside her to do so.

When those maids spoke, she once suspected that these people were speaking in unison to accuse their master.

It’s not that she likes this little aunt whom she has rarely seen.

But she couldn't believe that someone could be so stupid!

And secretly lifted it up.

Where would these servants hide all these things?

It's difficult to accuse them.

I went to pay my respects to Mrs. Xu early in the morning, and found that my sister-in-law, who had just come in, didn't even come.

Doesn't this clearly tell people that she was the one who took the dowry?

But this is the most frustrating thing.

This stupid thief is Pei Ji's sister, her sister-in-law.

If she wants to live a stable life in the backyard, she must establish good relationships with the people there.

So she couldn't just point it out like that yet.

And you can’t tell Xu.

After all, they are mother and daughter.

Once she said it, in order to protect Pei Yu's reputation, there was no guarantee that the other party would not unite to deal with her, so she could only accept it.

I'm afraid it won't end well.

And once this door is opened, today her sister-in-law will take her dowry, tomorrow her mother-in-law will take her dowry, and the day after that her eldest sister-in-law will take her dowry.

She continued to pinch her nose to admit it, so she was a bastard!

But if she doesn't admit it, will she still be able to live a comfortable life in this backyard in the future?

Therefore, she could only consider the thief.

Ask Cailu and Qiuwen to scare her.

Let her take it out herself.

Fortunately, such a stupid guy didn't think too much and was really scared, so he handed it over himself.

Luo Zhen couldn't help but sigh again, the fatigue on her face was real.

There are only a few women in the Pei family's harem, but why does she feel that it is more tiring than fighting with the concubines in her dreams?
