Chapter 40
Several pairs of malicious eyes gradually lost their patience. After leaving a few people, they also stubbornly left one or two.
Wei Jin, who was peeping secretly, was amazed. He had never seen such a sober and calm person. His views on her changed again and again.
After all, Tian Duocai was only five or six years younger. He quickly lost his patience and urged Tian Ruyue to go home again.
Tian Ruyue looked at the sky, frowned but was not as persistent as before: "Wait a little longer, if the owner doesn't come yet, we will leave." From the corner of her eyes, she swept vigilantly at the few remaining malicious spymen.
Tian Duocai was so happy when he heard this, he muttered: "If someone else had lost his purse, he would have been very anxious, but after waiting for a long time, the owner did not come. I guess he didn't care. Third sister, if the owner didn't come, can you share some of me?"
Tian Ruyue looked at Tian Duocai speechlessly, who was still interested in getting a share of the money, and reached out to pinch his face: "Yes." Seeing him grinning happily, she added with a bad intention: "One penny, I'll share your penny."
Seeing his happy little face suddenly collapsed, he held his smile and touched the Heizi in his arms.
Tian Duocai was about to complain about her being stingy when he suddenly saw two maids who had been arguing before walking past them.
Tian Ruyue also saw the two maids, stood up suddenly, and immediately chased after them to block their way. Before they could speak, they asked first: "Are you looking for a purse?"
The maid in yellow clothes replied excitedly, excitedly, "Did you see it?"
The green-clothed maid stared at Tian Ruyue vigilantly and asked, "Did you pick it up?" Seeing her wearing a coarse cloth clothes and a simple homemade bag, her shoes were still quite new, and the child hiding behind her was even more unkempt and dirty.
He looks poor and sloppy!
There was no concealment on his face.
Tian Ruyue looked at the green-clothed maid with disgust and frowned almost uncheckedly: "I picked it up..."
"Bring it!"
"Give it back to me quickly!" The two maids interrupted Tian Ruyue's unfinished words in unison.
Tian Ruyue frowned and showed displeasure: "If you want a purse, you must answer a few questions from me."
The green-clothed maid Lu He stared at her with fierce eyes and asked: "The purse was thrown away by our lady, why do you ask? I think you are clearly thinking about money and don't want to pay it back!"
The yellow-clothed maid Qiuju glanced at Green Yi in disagreement, and looked at Tian Ruyue pitifully: "Good sister, the lost purse belongs to our lady. If you really pick it up, please return it to us quickly. Please."
Tian Duocai was so scared that he hid behind Tian Ruyue and grabbed her clothes.
Tian Ruyue saw the two singing and attracting the attention of passers-by, pointed at her, sneered and looked like a sharp look like a knife: "If I don't want to leave, would I wait for the owner here like a fool?
I picked up a purse, but who knows if it belongs to your lady!
I just want to ask a few questions to confirm. One of you is wronged and I don’t want to return it, and the other deliberately pretends to be pitiful and makes me blamed by others. Then I will be a villain, and I didn’t pick up a purse!”
He lowered his head and grabbed Tian Duocai's hand: "Let's go to the yamen and hand over the purse to the government."
Passers-by accused the two maids when they heard this.
"If I don't want to return, how could I wait here stupidly? I'm really ungrateful!"
"It's better to be a villain than to be a good person."
"Looking at how they dressed clearly, they were all maids from wealthy families, they must be used to bullying others by virtue of their power."
The two maids were blushed when they were pointed at by everyone.
Qiu Ju glared at Lu He, and hurriedly chased after him to stop Tian Ruyue and his brother and bow and apologize: "It's us wrong, please forgive me. We searched for more than an hour, and we were anxious and bumped into my sister's words. It's ours, and I'm sorry, please forgive me a lot."
Tian Ruyue glanced at her coldly and glanced at the green-clothed maid standing there.
Qiu Ju understood in seconds, and immediately walked towards Lu He quickly, whispered a few words in her ear, and forced her to come over to apologize to Tian Ruyue.
Tian Ruyue still had a cold face and did not accept their apology, but asked back: "How much money does your lady have in her purse? If you can't answer, it won't be lost. Don't return the purse to you, but you falsely accused me of stealing the silver inside."
Autumn chrysanthemums and green lotus are embarrassed and have no place to live.
Qiu Ju was smart and steady, and hurriedly said, "We are only responsible for custody. I don't know how much money there is in it. I have to ask the lady before I know it. However, the purse is pink and blue, with a gorgeous peony embroidered on it. Oh, by the way, our lady's name is the word "Jie". Look?" Hesitantly looked at Tian Ruyue for fear that she would not return it, because she lost the purse!
When Tian Ruyue saw that she was basically correct, she knew that it was the purse they threw.
But I was dissatisfied with their previous arrogant attitude and deliberately made things difficult for me: "There are too many ladies with the word 'Jie' in my name, but it may not be the ones you missed. So, whoever you go back to ask your ladies, and I will give you the wallet when the silver amount matches."
[Wei Jin, who was hiding among the onlookers, looked at her deliberately making things difficult for others and was completely different from her look of being down and pleasing to the eyes in Shitou Village, and she couldn't help but think in secret.]
"You...!" Lu He glared at Tian Ruyue angrily but Qiu Ju pulled her sleeves back.
Lu He turned his head and furious at Qiu Ju: "She obviously doesn't want to pay it back!"
Qiu Ju asked loudly: "I accidentally lost the purse. Do you don't want to get the purse back in this way? I want me to be punished by the lady?"
Lu He stared at her in disbelief, turned her head in anger and left: "I'll go find a lady!"
A strange color flashed in Qiuju's eyes, but turned her head but showed a soft smile at Tian Ruyue: "Sister, can you go with me to meet my lady? If she knew that she had picked up the purse, she would definitely be rewarded."
Tian Ruyue was angry just now and didn't want to go. She thought that she had her own plans, so she nodded and led Tian Duocai to follow Qiuju.
The onlookers dispersed in groups of three or three, but the malicious people continued to follow.
Wei Jin looked at Tian Ruyue's departure back and raised his foot without hesitation to continue following him.
Qiu Ju took Tian Ruyue and his brother to the vicinity of a carriage. She caught Lu He standing outside the car window and reported to the lady sitting inside. She turned her head and looked at Tian Ruyue and said, "You are waiting here." She quickly approached the carriage.
Tian Ruyue led Tian Duocai and waited in place. Seeing Qiu Ju walking to the carriage and talking to the people inside, she couldn't help but look at the carriage.
The carriage looks low-key, and it is no different from other carriages.
There are coachmen on the carriage, and there are some servants scattered around them to protect the people in the carriage.
Wei Jin, who was following, saw the brother and brother standing near the carriage and not leaving, looked left and right, walked into the teahouse next to him. He chose a position by the window and sat down, and continued to peek openly.
When the waiter was having tea, he also looked at the carriage. After a closer look at the sign above, he immediately recognized that the carriage was Shang Wenjie, the daughter of the Minister of War.
"Why is it her?" Wei Jin murmured.
