His eyes were red and he looked like a madman, and his tone was terribly cold, which really frightened the two maids.
Chen Tingsi said again, "Pick up the clothes on the ground. If you dirty them, wash them and return them to me. If there is one piece missing, I will hold you responsible!"
The two maids looked at Li Ma for help.
Nanny Li had a sullen face, her tone full of sarcasm and ridicule:
"Second Miss is so arrogant. What a shame. We are here to search on the orders of the eldest young master. This is not considered a violation of the rules."
"I was wondering how you could be so bold. It turns out Jiang Jinyan sent you here to humiliate me."
Chen Tingsi raised the corners of his lips and spoke in a stern tone, "How ridiculous! He's a dignified scholar who holds the third place in the imperial examination, a scholar of the Eastern Palace who acts like a gentleman outside, but when he comes home, he uses such despicable means on his own sister. He doesn't even dare to come in person, but sends an old dog with two puppies. He doesn't even think he's lowering his status."
When Nanny Li heard him openly scolding even the eldest young master, her expression grew even more gloomy. "Just an hour ago, a gold-threaded pomegranate skirt disappeared from the eldest young lady's closet."
"She lost her clothes, what does it have to do with me?" Shen Tingsi frowned.
Madam Li said coldly:
"Someone saw that the round-faced maid next to you sneaked into the eldest lady's yard before her clothes were lost."
Tang Yuan blushed anxiously and shook her head excitedly:
"I passed by the eldest lady's yard when I came back from washing clothes, but I didn't go in, let alone steal the eldest lady's clothes!"
"You weren't going there to steal clothes, so why did you go all the way to the young lady's yard?"
Nanny Li bent down and picked up a pomegranate skirt from the pile of clothes that had fallen to the ground. "Why did the eldest lady's clothes end up in your basket?"
This pomegranate skirt was originally pressed under "Jiang Xiancao's" clothes, but was picked out by Li Ma Ma in an instant.
"If it were an ordinary skirt, it would be fine, but this one was made for the eldest daughter by the Marquis's wife using the material from her dowry from her parents' home. The gold thread on it was sewn by the lady herself, so it is invaluable.
How dare you, a lowly slave, steal such a treasure? You are courting death!"
When Tangyuan saw it, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Nanny Li pointed at her and threatened, "You dirty bastard from the Marquis of Wenning's mansion won't be spared. I'm going to take you away and sell you off right now!"
Shen Tingsi immediately understood what trick Jiang Jinyan was playing by sending Nanny Li here.
They wanted to find a random excuse to get rid of the only maidservant left by his side, leaving him completely isolated and helpless in the Marquis' Mansion!
