12、会把敲诈勒索的信放在自己案头拿出来？不知道避嫌的么？啊啊所以果然是脑壳坏掉吗？！二太太眼睛亮晶晶的挨在老太太旁边，等着示下，一副不知道看谁倒霉的幸灾乐祸露骨表情，又不像是写纸条的。她到底是真无辜、还是装傻、还是真傻老太太捏了捏眉心：“岂有此理，什么人会递这种条子。”“可不是吗？”二太太面有惧色，“神不知鬼不觉，放到媳妇案头上了！媳妇前头一直在监督姑娘们功课，回来一见，吓得没背过气去！”老太太拍着二太太的手：“你受苦了。这条子，我想么，外人没必要做这事，总是哪个孩子开玩笑？”二太太想想，也对，外人哪进得了她房间？进她房间不偷点东西是正经，放这个做什么呢？好像谁真会凭这鬼画符条子送他银子似的！“哪
13、个孩子，开这玩笑，也实在可恶了！”老太太气呼呼道，“我会查着，你放心！这条子，你先当没看见，别吐出一个字去。等我把那荒唐孩子抓出来！”二太太点头称是，答应不说，却忍不住心里好奇：布袋里装的是什么呢？嘉颜一直在窗口，对着光线看，如今双手捧了回来，布袋还是这个布袋，玉坠却已不是这个玉坠，倒成了块石片。大太太见到老太太之前，是烦嘉颜通报的，把布袋和纸头都给嘉颜看了。嘉颜也没敢自作主张拆袋子，就掂了掂，进屋跟老太太讲，老太太猜疑是玉坠，紧急叫嘉颜找块手感差不多的石片，藏在袖子里准备调包。嘉颜当差这些年来，以此任务最为奇怪，但没说什么，赶紧去找了。好在是老太太屋子后头小道上为了好看，厚石板间嵌了许多打磨
