Chapter 31: The Past
"This jade hairpin is yours?" Yuan Xiyue couldn't hide her stunned tone anymore, Old Madam Lu said this sentence too suddenly, she originally wanted to say that you shouldn't use such a style at your age, but the words came to her lips and swallowed it raw.

"This jade hairpin was ordered by me last year in the most famous Jinyun Pavilion in the capital, and there is also the mark of Jinyun Pavilion on it, don't believe it."
Yuan Xiyue picked up the jade hairpin and took a closer look, only to see that the part of the jade hairpin receptacle was indeed engraved with a unique auspicious cloud pattern. However, she has seen this pattern from the jewelry left by her aunt, and she thinks that it is a brand that noblewomen will order, so there should be no mistake.
"Just now I was still talking, a good jade hairpin was just lost, this is specially customized, only this one, I think it should have been picked up by this girl."
Old Madam Lu's words sounded reasonable, but Yuan Xiyue knew that she was protecting, and everyone knew who was protecting her and why.
"But maybe this jade hairpin was given to someone else, and then the person took it out to buy Hui'er." Yuan Xiyue didn't want to let some people go like that.
"You kid, this jade hairpin was originally mine, and if you want to buy it, I can only use it to buy it, do you think I will be so stupid, do you have to take the suspicion on yourself?" Old Madam Lu usually has excellent cultivation, but at this time, her tone of voice is clearly a little anxious, and people with a discerning eye can know at a glance that this is actually a manifestation of panic.
"But ......"
"Okay, Xiyue, since Mrs. Lu said that the jade hairpin is hers, let's hurry up and return to Zhao. Also, you have to remember not to ask the elders, this is the upbringing of the juniors, understand? The old lady interrupted Yuan Xiyue's questioning in time, and also broke the embarrassment of the old lady Lu.
Seeing this, Yuan Xiyue knew that today's situation could only end here, so she had to apologize to Mrs. Lu, saying that the younger generation was indeed abrupt, and asked Mrs. Lu not to care about the villain.
Today, he was unscathed, and Situ Juan and the others did not take any advantage, and they also lost a spy. It seems that the biggest beneficiary is her grandmother, the old lady, whose legs and feet are healed, and the residual poison will soon be removed.
Then, it was the old lady's wife who spoke and sent Hui'er to the official to be punished, according to her, the Yuan family did not move to lynch and punish the subordinates, but in order to warn those who played right and wrong and framed the master's ulterior motives, she still asked the housekeeper to ask someone to slap Hui'er fiercely, and she had to be in front of the whole family, so that everyone could see what happened to the dirty people.
And Mrs. Lu also said goodbye in time with a shameful face, and Sister Situ Juan followed to help her, but she brushed their hands away with a very light gesture. Of course, all this was seen by Yuan Xiyue.
After Dr. Cui prescribed the prescription to the old lady, he also left in shock, and he was really a little embarrassed to experience such a scene today at his age.
After everyone left, only the old lady and Yuan Xiyue were left in the house, and Yun Xiang and the other subordinates were waiting outside the door with interest, because everyone could see that the ancestors and grandchildren were full of concerns.
"I know you want to get justice for us today, but now is not the best time."
Yuan Xiyue didn't expect the old lady to speak so bluntly, and she was straight to the point. Immediately, Yuan Xiyue understood, it seemed that she was clear in her heart, and she had just interrupted her questioning of Old Madam Lu, and she also had other plans.
"Old Madam Lu obviously wants to defend that person, it doesn't matter if you expose her now, but since Old Madam Lu is determined to defend her, then doing so will undoubtedly tear her face with Old Madam Lu, and her family's power is not what it used to be." After speaking, the old lady sighed softly.
Yuan Xiyue understood that she was talking about Mrs. Lu's very promising children, and the wealthy family in her own family that had long ceased to be powerful, but she didn't dare to have anything to do with these upstarts in plainly. Therefore, Yuan Xiyue didn't say anything, just patted the back of the old lady's hand to show comfort.
The old lady continued: "What's more, your confused father is already thinking about that person now, if you come forward to expose that person's sins, I'm afraid he will hate you and me together, it doesn't matter if I have an old bone, but you will have to marry in the future, I don't want you to be implicated." ā
Yuan Xiyue was amazed that the old lady understood her son so thoroughly, but what she said did make sense, that foolish father was this kind of person who abused compassion and only considered his own feelings, and he now felt that the most intimate person in the world with her was his wife, and his wife and daughter couldn't manage so much.
It can be seen that the old lady's consideration is not far-reaching, and now the grandfather and grandson are completely tied together.
"I can only say that the family is unfortunate and has such a bad luck, but since God sent you to give me a chance to get back on my feet, I want to see how big a wave she can make." The old lady was excited, and her physical strength was a little exhausted, so Yuan Xiyue hurriedly put the quilt on her again.
"Grandmother should take care of her body with peace of mind, don't worry so much. Let's talk about things slowly in the future, anyway, Xiyue will definitely find a way to prevent the wicked from succeeding again. ā
"Hmph, she thinks well, wants to kill two birds with one stone, not only let me be poisoned, but also frame you, if today's incident really makes them succeed, the lightest punishment will also be sent to the family temple."
When Yuan Xiyue heard this, she felt a little afraid, although the old lady was poisoned, only she understood that this woman was really comparable to a snake and scorpion, and it seemed that it would really be a life-and-death situation in the future.
"But the granddaughter really doesn't understand, the mother ...... Why does that person hate her granddaughter so much, and she can't get along with me all the time? ā
"It's not because of the queen's will, your mother married into our family, which made some people's wishful thinking come to naught, but everything is still her own sin, and she can't blame others. She can't hate the queen, when your mother was alive, she didn't dare to make a mistake, and she could only wait for your mother to die and I was old and paralyzed to bully you, a lonely child. Now it seems that she was afraid that she hated me with me back then. This narrow-minded person seems to feel that the whole world owes her. ā
Then, the old lady told Yuan Xiyue an old story about her parents' marriage.
After listening to it, she also felt that her original body, that is, the little girl who had been stupid for many years, was indeed too innocent, so innocent that she couldn't wait to go to Situ Juan to comment on it now to see who was the most deserving person.
