The Regent's Tender Darling

Mother Qiu couldn't stand the way her wife was holding on. She whispered to Lin Jiaojiao: "Miss three, my wife is pregnant, but she hasn't settled down yet."

"Such a happy event?" Lin Jiaojiao was happy at first, but she was also worried that it would be difficult for her second aunt to give birth again at her age.

There was not much happiness on Mrs. Liu's face, but she sighed helplessly: "If a daughter is born, it won't be a happy event for your second uncle."

These words suddenly made the atmosphere seem a bit sad. Pregnant people should not worry and worry. Lin Jiaojiao quickly comforted: "Auntie, please relax, it is a great joy for the Chen family. Grandma will definitely be happy to know about it."

The old lady of the Chen family has never been a patriarchal person. The most important thing is merit. Otherwise, she would not give the housekeeper's key to the second house.

"That's right." Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement, her face less worried.

Chen Luo, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Mother, you should rest since you are pregnant. Third sister is also the matron of the family, so she will definitely be able to handle this matter well."

Chen Luo's tone was urgent, and he wanted to push Mrs. Liu out quickly.

Only then did Mrs. Liu, who noticed Chen Luo, have a serious look on her face and scolded her coldly: "The girl you disciplined has now become a thief. You, the master, bear the greatest responsibility!"

Chen Luo lowered his head guiltily, looking like he was aggrieved.

"Second Aunt, please rest first. Leave Ping'er's affairs to me." Lin Jiaojiao took the initiative to take over Ping'er's stealing money.

She could tell that both Mother Qiu and Luo Luo wanted to leave this matter to her.

Mother Qiu was thinking about her second aunt's health, but she was not sure yet what Luoluo was thinking.

The only thing she was sure of was that Luoluo knew about Ping'er stealing money.

Mrs. Liu felt that she was even more dizzy after being angry, so she stopped holding on and nodded slightly: "That's fine, then Jiaojiao will have to work hard."

"We are all a family, so we don't take precautions."

Someone untied Ping'er, and Lin Jiaojiao took her back to Qingxue Pavilion for questioning.

At the same time, he asked Qing Tao to search Ping'er's room on the way.

In the hall of Qingxue Pavilion.

Ping'er knelt in the middle and shivered, her head hanging down like an eggplant beaten by frost and unable to be lifted up.

Lin Jiaojiao was sitting in the upper seat, and Chen Luo was restless on the side, looking at Ping'er from time to time.

"Were you responsible for the thefts in the warehouse several times before?" Lin Jiaojiao asked coldly.

Ping'er was so shocked that she trembled and didn't reply, but she nodded and admitted.

"Why do you want to steal like this?"

Lin Jiaojiao's attitude during interrogation has always been relatively easy-going. She never starts to torture people to extract confessions as soon as they arrive, nor does she get so angry that they scare people away from speaking.

But it was obvious that this girl Ping'er was extremely timid. She was so scared that she was shaking all over and couldn't even speak.

"Slave..." Ping'er trembled and hesitated for a long time, but she didn't even have a complete sentence.

Xuemei was a little angry and said, "When I ask you a question, you just tell the truth. Why do you seem to be biting your tongue?"

Lin Jiaojiao did not stop Xuemei from continuing to speak. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, waiting for Ping'er to speak to her.

After Xuemei finished speaking fiercely, she continued: "My mother-in-law is the most soft-hearted. As long as you tell me the reason, since you are the person next to the fourth girl, my mother-in-law will not make things difficult for you."
