Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Shen Nanqiao did not make a big fuss to investigate Shen Jingyi's motives. In order to fight against foreign enemies, one must first stabilize the internal situation, so she decided to get rid of the internal thief first.

It is interesting that after using the green feather to scare the tiger that day, Amber actually dared to embezzle things from the dowry, and thought that she could do it without anyone knowing.

She got up early on the day of the palace banquet, and after washing her face, she called Amber in to comb her hair.

"I remember there was a nine-bead phoenix-tail hairpin in my dowry. Take it out today."

Amber paused for a moment and looked at the mirror with a smile.

"That hairpin is mixed with jade and jewels. I'm afraid we should look for the pearl headpiece in the box that the young lady is wearing."

As he said that, he was going to get it.

Shen Nanqiao smiled and glanced at her.

"Today is the day of the palace banquet. Do you want me to wear my old headgear and embarrass myself?"

Amber choked, but quickly regained her composure.

"There is a set of ruby ​​headpieces of new style, which were just delivered by the owner of the Jade Shop yesterday. I will go get them for the young lady now."

"Wait a minute," Shen Nanqiao stopped him and glanced over, "Now I can't decide what to wear, can I?"

The voice was not loud, but it was stern.

Amber was shocked. The young lady had never been gloomy towards her and Linglong before. This was the first time she had shown such an attitude.

"Let's go to the small storeroom now. It's still in time before we go out. I'll wait." He raised his chin towards Cui Yu and said, "You follow me."

Seeing this, Amber knew she couldn't escape, so she had to leave in disappointment.

In a short while, she brought back a jewelry box. When she opened it, the Nine Phoenix Hairpin was inside.

Amber looked pleased.

"Miss, take a look, is this the one?"

Shen Nanqiao took the hairpin, glanced at it, and put it aside. He raised his eyes and stared at Amber until he felt guilty about staring at her, then he spoke.

"This nine-bead phoenix hairpin is a relic of my mother. Each bead is a South China pearl. They are arranged from large to small. The smallest one is as big as a lotus seed." She curled the corners of her lips lightly, "It doesn't look like it."

Cui Yu picked up the phoenix hairpin respectfully, looked at it carefully, and knelt down to report.

"Madam, this is a Dongzhu, and it is a relatively inferior Dongzhu. Usually, the round and full ones are selected to be inlaid in single-bead hairpins. This is obviously a leftover."

Shen Nanqiao frowned slightly, took the phoenix hairpin and looked at it carefully.

"It's fine if the beads are not good, but the craftsmanship and inlaying are so good that even if it was given to a merchant's daughter as a dowry, I'm afraid she wouldn't want it. How could it be in my dowry?"

Amber's back was sweating, but she pretended to be calm on her face.

"What are you talking about, young lady? I don't quite understand. Is there something wrong with this hairpin?"

Shen Nanqiao casually threw the phoenix hairpin on the ground.

"I don't know if there's anything wrong with the hairpin, but there is definitely something wrong with the people in my room."

As he said this, he winked at Cuiyu, who immediately took out a pawn ticket and threw it lightly in front of Amber.

Amber was horrified.

"You pawned this hairpin for 1,500 taels, but only spent 200 taels to make a fake one to put in. Where did the remaining 1,300 taels go?" Shen Nanqiao glanced at her. "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I can find out."

Amber shuddered, and her fingers began to shake uncontrollably.

The East Factory has a great reputation and its various methods are terrifying. Is the young lady going to hand herself over to her son-in-law?

Linglong was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She has always been a hot-tempered person and at this moment she could no longer suppress her anger and rushed to Amber.

"Young lady has treated you well these years, right? How can you betray me? You clearly know that the dowry is the support of the young lady's life in the second half of her life, and you still dare to steal it?"

Amber's heart was in a mess, but she was still trying to be stubborn.

"You're talking nonsense. We both have the key to the small storeroom. How do we know it wasn't you who did it?"

Shen Nanqiao had been silent at first, but when he saw Amber clinging to Linglong, he sneered and gave Cuiyu a wink.

Cui Yu understood and took out a list.

"On the second day of this month, you took the nine-bead phoenix hairpin and went to the goldsmith on Hefang Street to make a fake one. On the sixth day, you stole the two-strand phoenix hairpin from the emerald headpiece. On the ninth day, you took the South Pearl hoop. The day before yesterday..."

Before she could finish reading, Linglong slapped Amber hard on the face.

"You look at the almanac to pick a day for stealing. Are you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Amber's face flushed red, but she didn't dare to stand up and fight Linglong, she just stammered.

"We are all maids who came with the dowry. Why do you hit me?"

Shen Nanqiao stood up and walked slowly to Amber, speaking each word clearly.

"Because of her loyalty to her master." In both lives.

Amber didn't dare to say anything. Shen Nanqiao stared into her eyes for a long while before speaking.

"If you can bring those things back intact today, I can forgive you, but if you can't." She smiled kindly, "Then we'll meet at the government office."

This will cut off her future. Once she becomes an official, which family will want to take her in as a maid?

Amber immediately hugged Shen Nanqiao's thighs.

"Miss, this is really not my fault. Aunt Shen forced me to do it."

Linglong tried her best to pull the person off Shen Nanqiao and started to scold him.

"How shameless! You are not a child of your family, and you don't have a father or a mother. Why should you be controlled by her? It's because you are short-sighted and believed her sweet words!"

Shen Nanqiao let Linglong vent her anger before speaking to Amber.

"Shen Jingyi has almost spent all the money, right?"

Amber cried bitterly and nodded rapidly.

"All those things add up to three to five thousand silver coins. I know you can't fill the hole." Shen Nanqiao sat in front of the dressing table and motioned Linglong to tie her hair. "I have a way to atone for my sins. It depends on whether you are willing or not."

Amber felt as if she had received a life-saving gift when she heard this. She immediately crawled to Shen Nanqiao's feet and hugged her thighs.

"Miss, I am willing. I am willing to do anything. I was blinded by my own greed. I am willing to atone for my sin one thousand and one hundred times!"

Shen Nanqiao pursed her temples and winked at Aunt Liu.

"Then just listen to what Aunt Liu tells you to do."

Nanny Liu took the person aside and gave him some instructions as she was told, but Linglong's face was still full of anger.

"Miss, do you really want to keep this kind of person around?"

Shen Nanqiao patted the back of her maid's hand soothingly.

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Linglong looked unconvinced, "Really? You are always soft-hearted. You have to find ways to save stray cats and dogs on the roadside. If you can't save them, you will cry for a long time."

Shen Nanqiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe she was really a pushover in her previous life, but she would never be like that again in this life.

"I definitely won't do that this time." She raised her finger, "I swear, if you're soft-hearted again, call me..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a sound of clearing a throat at the door.

When I looked up, I saw Ning Su leaning there, and I didn't know how long he had been listening.

"Don't swear carelessly."

Linglong, who had been fierce just now, immediately lowered her voice and held her breath, not daring to make a sound.

Shen Nanqiao was surprised and happy: "Why are you back? Aren't you supposed to host the palace banquet today?"

Then she saw the man walking towards her.

"I'll take you to the palace."
