"Sister, we did go the wrong way, and we didn't steal anything."
Xiu raised her head and tried to defend herself eagerly.
But she didn't expect that the servant girl would be so arrogant as to point at Xiu and scold her.
"What a slut! How dare you lie now? You're obviously here to steal. I'll get someone to arrest you and interrogate you! "
Xiu frowned and was about to argue, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.
"We're not from your Gong family. Why do you arrest us?"
Seeing that she talked back, the servant became angrier.
"Because I saw you steal something from my Miss. Hand it over, or I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Don't accuse innocent people. When did we steal something from your Miss? We don't even know who your Miss is. What are you talking about?"
Xiu was even angrier. This person was really pestering.
But Lin Mengya saw that there seemed to be something hidden in the sleeve of the servant girl.
The servant girl's eyes flashed, and every word she said was a thief. She even said that she saw them steal her young miss's things.
She was afraid that the thief was someone else.
"Humph! Don't think about leaving! Come on, come on, catch the thief! "
The servant girl glared at them and shouted at the top of her lungs.
Xiu wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.
"She …"
Xiu was about to say that it would be over if they were seen by others.
But she didn't expect that Lin Mengya not only did not stop her, but also shouted.
"A thief is shouting to catch a thief. Come on, catch the thief!"
Seeing that Lin Mengya shouted, the servant girl became more panicked and shouted even louder.
Soon, a servant heard the sound and rushed over.
"What's going on?"
The person who spoke was the steward who was in charge of interrogation at the door.
As soon as he came, he recognized the servant girl. She was a servant girl who was responsible for cleaning in Second Miss's yard.
And the other two people were obviously not from their mansion. He became a little wary at once. Could they be the people the steward asked people to catch just now?
As soon as he came over, the servant girl said hurriedly.
"Steward Qin, it's her! She stole my Young Miss's jade bracelet just now. I saw it with my own eyes. There's no mistake! "
Steward Qin frowned when he heard that.
Although the housekeeper didn't say what the intruders did, if they only stole Second Miss's bracelet, there shouldn't be such a big fuss.
He examined the two unfamiliar faces, but he had his own plans in mind.
"I didn't! She's slandering me! "
Xiu immediately retorted, but the servant girl screamed, pulled Xiu's sleeve, and shouted.
"Let everyone take a look. If you're not here to steal, why would you come to someone else's inner courtyard? Steward Qin, that jade bracelet is Young Miss' favorite jewelry. You must punish them severely! "
The servant girl was just a servant, but she took advantage of the fact that she was serving Lin Mengwu, so she was bossy and bossy.
Even when he spoke to Steward Qin, he used a commanding tone.
Lin Mengya glanced at Steward Qin. As expected, it was impossible for the subordinates to get along with the masters.
Very well, it seemed that God was also giving her this opportunity.
"Steward Qin, I wonder if we can argue with them?"
Compared to the flustered and exasperated servant girl, the two of them were much more polite.
Steward Qin glanced at the servant girl who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and nodded.
"I dare not hide it from you, Steward Qin. We did sneak into the backyard."
"Admit it! I told you, you must be here to steal something! "
But Lin Mengya wasn't affected by the servant girl and said calmly.
"In fact, we were curious, so after following my master here, we found an excuse to sneak in to see the Gong family's imposing manner. But we didn't expect that we had offended this young lady, so that she would frame us like this. I hope that Steward Qin can give us justice. "
Her attitude was humble, and her words were reasonable.
But the servant girl was not a good person, and so was Steward Qin.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two girls, but in his heart, he was thinking that if he took them down as thieves who had trespassed, he might be recognized by the steward.
Maybe he could show his face in front of Master Tu and get a better job.
Wasn't this an opportunity that came knocking on his door?
After making up his mind, his face immediately darkened.
"Nonsense! Do you think you can deceive me with your nonsense? Men, arrest these two thieves for me. Go and tell the butler that I've already caught the people he wants! "
"Yes!"
The men immediately went to do it. Lin Mengya and Xiu didn't expect this person to be so shameless.
"Wait! What right do you have to arrest me? "
Seeing that the servants were about to arrest her, Lin Mengya asked loudly.
Unexpectedly, Steward Qin smiled sinisterly.
"I'm arresting you because you've violated the rules of the Gong family. Since you say you're innocent, then come with me to see the steward! Don't talk nonsense, take her away! "
"Don't even think about it!"
She suddenly pushed away one of the servants who was trying to catch her when she was caught off guard.
Then she pulled Xiu and ran away. The two of them were rushing around, which made them a little disorderly.
Seeing that the two of them ran away together, Steward Qin immediately ordered his men to chase after them.
"Guards! The Gong family is bullying us, hurry up! "
As she ran, she did not stop talking.
The kitchen was only separated by a wall. At this moment, apart from the servants of the Gong family, there were also servants brought by the guests.
At this moment, when they heard her shouting, all of them looked over.
Steward Qin was a little annoyed. Today was Master Tu's big day. If he was disturbed by those two girls, he was afraid that Master Tu would punish him heavily.
"Men, stop them!"
He ordered his men exasperatedly. No matter how brave Lin Mengya and Xiu were, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands.
Soon, they were stopped by someone.
"Help! The Gong family is trying to take revenge and disregard human life! "
However, every word that came out of Lin Mengya's mouth was fatal.
The servants in the kitchen, especially those who were a little smarter, knew about the storm that had just happened. After thinking for a while, they quietly ran back to their masters.
It should be known that the guests present had a part in making things difficult for Gong Tu.
What's more, that incident happened just now.
Could it be that the Gong family could not take it lying down, so they wanted them to secretly take action?
Steward Qin did not think of this at all. Now he just wanted to gag that woman's mouth and tie her up to receive the reward.
"Bitch! Tie her up! "
After such a commotion, Steward Qin's wild ambition was completely exposed in front of her.
Lin Mengya had not pinned her hopes on him.
On the contrary, she wanted to make a big fuss so that she could attract the attention of the front yard. In this way, the people they arranged outside could find them.
In this way, even Gong Tu had to be cautious.
In addition, they refused to admit to it. Gong Tu, who had just been humiliated today, had to let them go for the sake of his own reputation.
This was the only way. Fortunately, everything was normal at her great-grandfather's side. Even if Gong Tu and Lin Mengya went to check on him personally, they would not find anything unusual.
Therefore, she threw caution to the wind and made a scene.
Steward Qin had lost his patience. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had more people on his side to get them away.
Lin Mengya and Xiu looked at each other. The matter had been spread. Gong Tu would not act so quickly. At that time, their accomplices would go to Gong Tu personally to ask for them.
With so many people watching, Gong Tu would not dare to deny it.
Just when they surrendered and were tied up, they suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the crowd.
"You have to give me a good reason for arresting my people."
Reinforcements had come?
Lin Mengya was a little surprised. She did not expect them to come so quickly.
But when she saw the man's face, she felt very strange.
This man looked very unfamiliar. It seemed that he was not someone she had arranged.
He was a young childe with handsome and charming eyebrows. He looked gentle, harmless, and elegant, but his every move showed good manners and manners, which could not be ignored easily.
At one glance, Steward Qin knew that he must be a distinguished guest who came to the banquet.
But he did not want to let them go at all, but he did not dare to offend them.
He could only pretend to be in a difficult position and said with a smile.
"Young Master, it was actually your two handmaidens who stole first. That's why I received orders from our steward to invite them over to question them."
After glancing at them, the young childe said in a playful tone.
"They stole something? Let me ask you, what did they steal? "
"This …"
Steward Qin looked at the two of them in a difficult position. But soon, the maidservant from before came out and blamed them bitterly.
"They stole a jade bracelet from my miss! I saw it with my own eyes! "
The childe smiled and knocked on his forehead with the folding fan in his hand in a seemingly puzzled manner.
"Oh, I didn't expect my maidservants to be so 'capable'. But as the saying goes, to catch a thief, one must catch the stolen goods. Since you saw them steal the bracelet with your own eyes, let me ask you, where is the bracelet? "
The maidservant was prepared. She showed her wrist from her sleeve, and there was a red agate jade bracelet on it.
"The bracelet is here! They stole it! "
But the childe frowned and said softly.
