Although it was difficult to get Li Zhiyi to admit her mistake, Qian Ruoyu did it.
After apologizing and admitting her mistake, Li Zhiyi's face turned red, and she looked as if she had done something extremely embarrassing.
But Qian Ruoyu knew that after Li Zhiyi did this once, she might do it a second time.
After all, given Li Zhiyi's personality, it's already good enough that she doesn't seek death.
Therefore, until this point, Qian Ruoyu felt that Li Zhiyi could still be saved.
After Li Zhiyi turned around, she was a little afraid to look at Qian Ruoyu, and just turned her head to the other side.
"I apologized... and admitted my mistake. Now you should be able to let me go, right?"
Qian Ruoyu waved his hands casually.
Xiaohong immediately came to the two wooden doors, unbolted the bolts, and opened the wooden doors at the same time.
After all, this was the first time in Xiaohong's life that she had seen the concubine admit her mistake in this way. It was already an extremely rare thing.
The master has apologized, and the servants also know their limits.
Just as Li Zhiyi was about to leave with Dan'er, Qian Ruoyu gave her a direct warning.
"This is my last ultimatum to you. If you continue to come to the kitchen to cause trouble, next time I will ask you to clean out the kitchen's swill trough. If you don't believe me, come and try!"
As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished saying this, Li Zhiyi felt a shiver.
Li Zhiyi didn't dare to stay in the kitchen any longer, and quickly pulled Dan'er out of the kitchen yard.
But Qian Ruoyu suddenly remembered that Li Zhiyi seemed to be doing something in the kitchen?
However, Qian Ruoyu didn't care. Instead, she turned around and spoke to everyone in the kitchen.
"Listen to me, all of you. You are all my people. This kitchen is my territory. As long as you haven't made any mistakes, you don't have to be afraid!"
"If you really feel that you have been wronged, come to me directly. As long as you have not made any mistakes, I am willing to guarantee you to the end!"
As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, everyone cheered.
At this moment, Aunt Zhang scratched her head and said.
"Eh... this is really strange. Where did the bowl I just washed go? That was the prince's favorite celadon bowl... why can't I find it?"
"If the prince finds out that I'm missing, I'm afraid I'll be finished!"
When they heard this, everyone turned their eyes over.
And each of their faces was filled with surprise, as if the celadon bowl was really something extraordinary.
Qian Ruoyu walked over to take a look and asked, "What's going on?"
Aunt Zhang said with some fear.
"My lady, something bad has happened... I was listening to you guys talking about something just now while washing the dishes. I was very careful, but when I turned around, I saw that the celadon bowl was gone!"
"This... that is the prince's favorite bowl, and the prince usually uses this bowl to drink soup, because this bowl was given by the late emperor, and the prince respects it very much..."
Wang Po also hurriedly lowered her head and said.
"Yes, madam, this is the prince's favorite utensil. It is even better than other antique paintings, just because it was given by the late emperor."
"If I don't see this celadon bowl next time, I'm afraid the prince will be furious. He might even grab Aunt Zhang and kill her!"
Qian Ruoyu frowned.
Hearing them say this, this is indeed a big deal!
If this is really Chu Mobai's favorite thing, it might be a big deal, so Qian Ruoyu immediately mobilized.
"Since you were washing the dishes just now, it means that the celadon bowl is still in the yard. You should look for it quickly."
As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, everyone immediately started to get busy.
However, after searching for nearly half an hour, they still didn't see any trace of him.
Fatty Wang came out of the kitchen with a few helpers.
He shook his head and spread his hands and said, "My Lady, I didn't find it!"
Xiaohong also poked her head out from the wheat pile in the corner and shook her head.
"My lady, there's nothing in here either."
After hearing these words, Aunt Zhang, who was standing in the middle, became extremely anxious.
After all, the direct cause of this incident was Zhang Ma, and she had already planned to accept the punishment.
Qian Ruoyu was calm at this time. He closed his eyes and began to think in his mind.
"A bowl can't have legs," Qian Ruoyu muttered, "of course it won't sneak out by itself!"
"And there was no sound of breaking dishes just now, which means that the celadon bowl was not damaged!"
Then a figure appeared in Qian Ruoyu's mind, that was Li Zhiyi!
Yan'er, who was standing by, had no idea what Qian Ruoyu was doing and could only stand there and watch.
Qian Ruoyu immediately opened his eyes, raised his hands high and clapped them in the air.
"Everyone come here."
Hearing Qian Ruoyu's order, everyone naturally gathered together. More than 30 people in the kitchen stood in front of Qian Ruoyu.
Qian Ruoyu said to everyone.
"Think carefully about it. When Li Zhiyi apologized just now, did you remember anything? What was Dan'er doing at that time? Did Li Zhiyi get close to Zhang Ma?"
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, everyone immediately started talking.
"Dan'er seemed to be next to Zhang Ma at the time, right?"
"When the Concubine apologized, she was looking at Aunt Zhang."
"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. It seemed that Aunt Zhang was really washing dishes at that time, and Dan'er walked towards Aunt Zhang."
"When Dan'er fell to the ground, he deliberately moved closer to Aunt Zhang. Could it be that..."
While everyone was talking, Qian Ruoyu had already made some vague conclusions in his mind, that is, the loss of the celadon bowl was definitely related to Li Zhiyi and Dan'er!
But at this moment, he had no evidence in his hands, and no one had seen them leaving with the celadon bowl.
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu comforted Zhang Ma: "Zhang Ma, don't worry. That celadon bowl can't grow legs and can't move on its own!"
"There is only one possibility, that is, it was taken away by someone else. During this time, we must find a way to get the celadon bowl back, or completely identify the suspect!"
Hearing Qian Ruoyu's comfort, Aunt Zhang nodded quickly.
After all, at this moment, Aunt Zhang had no idea what to do and could only listen to Qian Ruoyu's words.
The loss of the celadon bowl is absolutely related to Aunt Zhang. If it can't be found, Aunt Zhang might lose her head.
Therefore, at this time, he would only listen to Qian Ruoyu completely.
Qian Ruoyu glanced at everyone and then said to them.
"Just do your own things first, and don't delay today's dinner. Hundreds of people in the palace are waiting for you."
"As for the matter of the celadon bowl, I will handle it myself!"
