Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I am no longer the mistress of Houmen!

Chapter 91

"The treasurer of the pawn shop?"

Lin Yunwan was surprised, wondering why the shopkeeper of the pawnshop came to her.

Ping Ye said: "It is said that our mansion pawned a terrible thing in their shop, and they dare not accept it, so they returned the thing and the pawn ticket."

"He also said that we don't want any money from us, so I just ask the mansion to take this jade pendant back."

This is really strange, the heirloom jade pendant of the new shopkeeper in Zhongzhou is so important?

Lin Yunwan had no choice but to say: "Go and tell the people in the front yard to take back the jade pendant."

"Yes."

Ping Ye went out for a while, and came back soon, but the jade pendant she sent back was not the piece that Lin Yunwan asked the Lin family to take care of at all!

what's the problem?

Lin Yunwan frowned: "Did the shopkeeper deliver the wrong thing?"

How did Pingye know, she shook her head and asked, "Grandma, why don't you ask yourself?"

"Is anyone gone?"

Holding the jade pendant, Lin Yunwan wanted to ask her personally.

Without further ado, Ping Ye said, "Even if the servants leave, they will be chased back."

Turned around and ran out.

She was quick on her legs, the pawn shop manager really left, but was chased back by the guard in the front yard.

Lin Yunwan went to meet someone in a hallway next to the second gate, and because he was a stranger, they were separated by a screen.

"You said this was something that was sent out by the Marquis of Wuding?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "Grandma, the villain saw the servant of your mansion get into the carriage of Marquis Wuding's mansion with my own eyes. She is very strong, she should be the servant of the rough envoy of your mansion."

This is even stranger.

How could a servant who does rough work pawn such an expensive jade pendant?

Lin Yunwan didn't ask who it was, she picked up the important ones and asked first: "You said this jade pendant is very special, what is its origin?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and then said: "...Grandma, I'm just someone who does hard work for others. I told you, but you have never heard of it! There is a leopard tail on this jade pendant. Look at it. See, don't you?"

Lin Yunwan glanced at it and said, "I saw it."

The shopkeeper said: "This is the jade pendant that only the masters of the Xingguo Mansion have."

How could the mother-in-law of Wudinghou's mansion have the jade pendant of the master of Xingguo's mansion!

Lin Yunwan was indeed taken aback.

However, she has also heard that some rich families have their own unique carvings, and their children wear carved ornaments when they are in their infancy.

It seems that the symbol of the master's status in Xingguo Duke's Mansion is the jade pendant with a leopard tail.

She frowned and asked: "This kind of jade pendant has never been passed on to the outside world, only people in their house know about it. How did you know about it?"

He even came here to tell her.

The shopkeeper lowered his head and said: "Don't be afraid to tell grandma, there was a bastard in Xingguo's mansion. There was a young master who was drunk and lost a bet on the jade pendant that was close to him. Bring someone back to redeem."

That young master was almost broken by someone's leg.

He said helplessly, "Grandma, please don't say anything about this, or my shop won't be able to open."

"This jade pendant was indeed pawned from your mansion. I heard that you are kind-hearted, so let the villain go! Thank you, grandma!"

If she really came out from Wudinghou's mansion, she has no reason to keep him.

Lin Yunwan ordered: "See off the guests."

She took the jade pendant back to Yushou Hall, intending to check all the wives who had gone out recently, when she walked to the door of Yuxing Pavilion, she suddenly remembered something.

"Bamboo green."

Lin Yunwan went in to look at Zhuqing, and there was still a jade pendant in her sleeve.

Zhu Qing just woke up and dozed off, and she was still lazy, but when she saw Lin Yunwan, she became energetic, and smiled and told Tong Liu: "Make the mat softer."

Xiliu had already brought over a thick blanket and said, "Grandma, sit here."

Lin Yunwan glanced at her, her complexion was very good.

"You are very happy serving Aunt Zhuqing?"

Xiliu nodded and said, "Aunt Zhuqing is easy to talk to."

Zhuqing also praised her two maids: "They have served me very well since they came to me."

Lin Yunwan smiled.

If it had been a few years ago, Zhuqing would not have such a good temper, and the two of them would have caught up by the time.

Zhu Qing also sat down beside Lin Yunwan, and asked, "Grandma, are you here to see my concubine, or do you have anything to order?"

Lin Yunwan felt that there were too many people in the room, so she said to Ping Ye, "Everyone get out."

Ping Ye went out with a few maids.

Zhuqing didn't know what was going on, she was so serious that she didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Lin Yunwan put the jade pendant in front of Zhuqing, and asked her: "Have you seen this?"

Zhuqing shook her head and asked, "Who lost it?"

She touched the jade pendant and said: "Such a fine mutton fat jade, is it either from the old lady's room or from Lord Hou?"

"neither."

Lin Yunwan said: "Someone in the house pawned this jade pendant, but the pawnshop didn't dare to accept it, so it returned it to me. They also said it was pawned by a servant."

Zhuqing frowned, bit her lip, and pulled up the handkerchief.

She said with a pale face, "It's broken!"

Recalling the day when Ge Baoer was sent away, she said in a panic: "It belongs to Aunt Ge! The mother-in-law who gave her away said that she made a jade pendant for her! I thought it was a trivial matter, so I didn't tell you."

Zhuqing was very nervous: "Grandma, is it a bad thing to be a concubine?"

"It's really her..."

It was just a random guess at first, but now that it is implemented, Lin Yunwan can't tell what it feels like.

Zhuqing became more and more flustered.

"Grandma, what is the origin of this, this jade pendant?"

Lin Yunwan pondered for a moment, then said: "Don't ask, just take care of the baby." She also told her: "Don't mention this matter to anyone, do you understand?"

Where did Zhuqing disobey?

She nodded very solemnly, and said: "I don't say a word about myself!"

Lin Yunwan was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding, so she found the woman who gave it away that day, and asked her directly: "Look, is it this jade pendant that you pawned for Aunt Ge that day?"

The mother-in-law was so frightened that her legs went limp.

Lin Yunwan's tone was very good: "Just answer it, I won't ask about your crime. Look carefully. If you miss it, then I will ask about your crime."

The mother-in-law was afraid of being punished, so she nodded: "Yes! That's it! I made it myself, there is nothing wrong with it."

Lin Yunwan didn't say anything, and returned to the Chuisi Hall in silence.

Pingye and Taoye closed the door tightly.

Pingye was very curious: "Grandma, what is the origin of this jade pendant?"

Lin Yunwan told the truth to the two maids: "It is the jade pendant of the master of Xingguo Palace."

"Xingguo Mansion?"

It was as if Pingye had been hit hard on the head. There were only three princes in the entire dynasty, and Duke Xingguo was one of them.

Although they are both Lord's family, Marquis Wuding's Mansion and Duke Xingguo's Mansion are very different.

Pingye asked anxiously: "Then, that Aunt Ge and this jade pendant... I mean, what is the relationship between her and Xingguo Duke's mansion? Why is the jade pendant of the Duke's mansion in her place?"

Lin Yunwan said she didn't know either.

But she remembered that when she was a child, she seemed to have heard about the Xingguo Duke's Mansion.

"When I was three years old, Duke Xingguo's mansion lost a daughter-in-law. Afterwards, every year during the Lantern Festival, my parents would not allow me to go out."

When the girl was young, she didn't talk about the defense of men and women. Unfortunately, because the ladies of the Duke's Mansion could be lost, there was a lot of turmoil in the capital, and many officials and officials did not allow their daughters to go out.

Ping Ye was dumbfounded: "Grandma, you said... you said... Aunt Ge, could she... be the lost prostitute of Xingguo's mansion?"

Lin Yunwan shook her head slowly.

She really doesn't know about this.

"Whether it is or not, she must be!"

Lin Yunwan went to Yushou Hall.
