Chapter six hundred and forty third family thief

"Your Highness, Madam Huang's apprentice steals things from your small warehouse to sell, and warns everyone not to tell them."

Qingyan, who was kneeling on the ground, said in a low voice.

Murong Hui put down the book and looked at Qingyan in surprise. In her impression, Qingyan was a very timid person, even a little cowardly.

But she never thought that she would reveal such a thing to her.

"Does Madam Huang know about this?"

After a moment of silence, Murong Hui asked Qingyan to stand up and ask.

"In recent months, Madam Huang has been helping Your Highness deal with palace objects, so she asked her apprentice to take stock of the warehouse every few days. I think I don't know yet."

After thinking for a while, Qingyan said carefully.

She did not have Qingyue's courage, so she did not dare to involve this matter on Madam Huang.

"Take it to buy some materials, your body is a little old."

After calming down for a moment, Murong Hui took out two taels of silver from the sachet beside the bed and handed it to Qingyan.

Qingyan didn't dare to accept it at first, but when she saw Murong Hui's attitude was firm, she took it away.

After she left, Murong Hui continued to look at the book in her hand. After reading it for more than an hour, she got up and walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as she walked to the restaurant, she saw Madam Huang coming over, holding a plate of fruit in her hand. After seeing Murong Hui, she hurriedly bowed.

"I suddenly remembered that during the Chinese New Year, my aunt once rewarded me with two batches of Shu brocade materials. You can find them to make them for winter cotton coats."

Murong Hui picked up an orange casually, peeled it off, and said to Madam Huang indifferently.

When she spoke, she paid special attention to Madam Huang's reaction. Madam Huang agreed without thinking.

"I'll go find it later. Those two pieces of material are plain and suitable for Your Highness."

After saying that, she put the fruit plate on the table and walked towards the small warehouse.

Murong Hui sat at the table, watching her leave calmly, waiting for Madam Huang's reaction next.

With the nature of the palace maids in the East Parting Palace, they are very likely to do something to steal.

Therefore, Murong Hui felt that what Qingyan said was mostly true.

She was waiting to see what Madam Huang would react after she discovered these things.

She didn't wait long. She just finished eating an orange and saw Madam Huang come from

The warehouse walked over.

She was holding two pieces of material in her hand. Although she was forced to calm down, Murong Hui could clearly see that she was trembling.

"Your Highness, I'll send it to the Shangfu Bureau in person."

After saying that, she glared at the apprentice beside her and asked her to walk out with her with gooseberry.

Murong Hui just nodded slightly and said nothing. She knew that Madam Huang was probably looking for a quiet place to scold her apprentice.

She would not be able to bear the mercy of people and be known to others.

After they left, Murong Hui continued to work on her own affairs, assuming nothing had happened.

An hour later, Madam Huang finally came back, but her face looked a little ugly, and the apprentice behind her was red and swollen eyes, and her face was covered with tears.

"Your Highness, have you rested?"

Standing at the door of the bedroom, Madam Huang asked carefully.

"I haven't had a rest, come in."

The books Zhao Yu brought to her were mostly travelogues, probably because she felt that she couldn't go anywhere, so she specially brought these books to relieve her boredom.

After hearing this, Madam Huang took her apprentice in and the two walked to the edge of the bed and knelt down.

Madam Huang kowtowed three times to Murong Hui, and her voice was loud and she obviously used her strength.

When she raised her head again, her forehead was already red.

"What are you doing?"

Putting down the book in his hand, Murong Hui asked in surprise.

"Your Highness is an old slave who has neglected his duties and has not taken care of his apprentice well. She was greedy and even took the things from your warehouse. You can punish her no matter how much you punish her. I just ask you not to tell the Queen about this."

No need to worry about the headache at all, Madam Huang begged with a nervous look on her face.

As she said, if Lin Yingxue knew about this, she would definitely be implicated.

Not to mention staying in the East Side Hall, it would be good if you were not sent to the Clothing Washing Bureau.

After hearing her words, Murong Hui raised her head and looked at Madam Huang's apprentice.

Her apprentice was tense and there were tears on her face. She seemed a little aggrieved. There was obviously not much fear in her eyes. Even if she was afraid, this fear was probably for Madam Huang, not for her.

"Madam Huang, get up first. You should know that most of the things in my warehouse are rewarded by the Queen.

If there is less, my aunt will ask you how to answer in the future. Would you let me lie to my aunt for this servant?"

Seeing Madam Huang's apprentice reacting like this, Murong Hui knew that this person was amazing. If she had just exposed it this time, she would definitely feel that it would be okay to steal the master's things.

It will definitely become worse in the future, and one day it will be a time when she can't suppress it.

When Madam Huang heard this, she almost fell to the ground. Her apprentice also heard some of Murong Hui's meaning, and then raised her head.

"Your Highness, I have only taken a few jade pieces. Please spare me this time. I will do my best to serve you in the future."

Madam Huang's apprentice is usually very eloquent and has great vision, so she got Madam Huang's eye.

However, it is obvious that after becoming Madam Huang's apprentice, she was a little proud and naturally lost her original wise power, but instead became a little more unyielding.

Madam Huang originally wanted to fight for it, but after hearing this, her eyes immediately showed a look of despair.

"I only ask you one thing. If you answer to me, you can save your life. Otherwise, for the sake of the master and servant, I will prepare a thin-skinned coffin for you."

When saying these words, Murong Hui kept staring at the apprentice of Madam Huang to see her reaction.

She sneered in her heart when she saw a trace of terror flashing across her face.

"Your Highness, I have no credit and hard work. Please don't reveal this matter. I will make up the jade artifacts you threw."

When she heard Murong Hui say this, she guessed that Murong Hui had made a decision on her disciple.

But now in order to protect herself, she naturally has to try her best to protect her apprentice. Even if she wants to deal with her, she has to pass this level first.

After hearing this, Murong Hui was stunned. She didn't know that being a nanny could save so much money.

"Did Madam Huang ever think about how Qingyan was just an ordinary palace maid, how did she get the warehouse key?"

Seeing Madam Huang reacting like this, Murong Hui had to make it clear. She didn't care about throwing a few things at all. What she cared about was who the inner demon in the East Parting Palace was.

When Madam Huang heard about this, her hands trembled. She was not a fool, so she naturally understood what Murong Hui meant.
