Chapter 15: The Ruby Bracelet
"I have been in the house for many years, and I have always been self-denying and diligent in my family. Now that he is slandered by a junior, what face does he have to manage this family again? Why don't you ask the general to give me a letter of resignation? Bai couldn't help but hide his face and weep.
"Nonsense." Old Madam Liu was furious.
Seeing this, Liu Yan'er knelt on the ground and crawled to the feet of Mrs. Liu, "Grandmother, mother is just angry for a while. ”
Old Madam Liu hurriedly helped Liu Yan'er up, and said distressedly: "You white porcelain and jade-like person, how can you trample your knees like this?" ”
"Grandmother, my sister has misunderstood her mother, so let Yan'er apologize to her sister on behalf of her mother." Liu Yan'er struggled to kneel down again, with two lines of tears on her beautiful face.
She whispered so lowly, as long as Liu Yaoyao talked, she naturally had a way to force Liu Yaoyao to agree to reconcile.
But Liu Yaoyao just watched with interest and didn't take the bait, Liu Yan'er was secretly angry and gritted her teeth.
Old Madam Liu felt sorry for her granddaughter, thought for a moment, and said coldly: "Bai, as the head of the house, you are not majestic enough, and you did not control your subordinates well, causing your subordinates to be bullied at will, do you know what is wrong?" ”
Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, knowing that the old lady intended to protect her, so she hurriedly lowered her head, "What my mother taught me is that I then asked people to send the moon silver that I owed over the years." ”
"I don't know who are the people who hurt me? Have they been punished? ”
"This matter still needs to be investigated, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Bai reassured.
"Why don't you hurry up and thank your mother?" Old Madam Liu said with some disgust.
Seeing that the two of them were about to reveal the matter in a few words, Liu Yaoyao's eyes were full of ridicule, but she also knew that today's events could only make the Bai family deflated, and it was impossible to shake the Bai family's status.
"I deserve the money, so why thank you?" Liu Yao lowered her eyes and sneered, "My mother has died. ”
"Die young, be careful." Old Madam Liu frowned, but she didn't care too much.
"Grandmother, I have one more request."
"You say."
"Please allow my grandmother to allow me to investigate this matter myself and do a little bit for the reputation of the General's Mansion."
Old Madam Liu said with a slight warning: "A boudoir woman should not be too strong. ”
"I have already decided to get married, and I will marry to the Xiaoyao Mansion in the near future, if I don't know anything, let others handle it, won't others want to laugh at the goddaughter of the General's Mansion for having no way?"
Bai hurriedly stopped, "Mother, you must not agree to this matter. ”
Liu Yaoyao was-for-tat, not to be outdone: "Are you afraid?" ”
"This matter will be investigated by the two sisters together." Mrs. Liu made a decision, "I have something to say to the young man alone, your mother and daughter should go back first." ”
Although the Bai family was unwilling, he didn't dare to say more.
"Then Yan'er will come back in the evening to greet her grandmother." Liu Yan'er bowed.
"Mama Liu, send them out for me."
In the huge Buddha Heart Hall, only Mrs. Liu and Liu Yaoyao's ancestors and grandchildren were left, and Liu Yaoyao drank tea calmly.
Old Madam Liu nodded secretly, she was a calm character.
She took a few steps forward, took Liu Yaoyao's hand, and asked kindly: "Xiaoxiao, are you satisfied with this result?" ”
"Thank you, grandmother, for justice."
When Mrs. Liu saw the jasper bracelet on Liu Yaoyao's right hand, her eyes flashed, and she quipped: "Such a valuable bracelet, isn't it a gift from King Xiaoyao?" ”
Liu Xiaoxiao smiled silently.
Old Madam Liu didn't care, she walked into the inner hall and took out a red jade bracelet, "This is given by the queen's mother, and grandmother will give it to you today." ”
Liu Yaoyao hurriedly excused himself and said, "This is too valuable, I can't ask for it." ”
Mrs. Liu put the red jade bracelet on Liu Yaoyao's left hand without hesitation, looked left and right, and said with satisfaction: "Look at how well this bracelet matches you, how beautiful it is." ”
"What does my grandmother want me to do?"
"You're smart." Old Madam Liu said in a low voice: "Tomorrow the Queen Mother's birthday, the birthday banquet in the palace, grandmother wants to take you to see the world." ”
Liu Yaoyao raised her eyebrows and said bluntly, "It's a coincidence, I have already promised King Xiaoyao to go with me." ”
"I have instructed the embroidery lady in the house to cut clothes for you, so that you will not lose face in front of the King of Freedom tomorrow."
"Thank you, grandmother, I will retire first."
Liu Yao left the Buddha Heart Hall, only to feel hungry in his stomach, and it turned out that he had unconsciously consumed a lot of time.
Almond was waiting outside the hospital, and when she saw Liu Yaoyao's figure, she hurriedly stepped forward to take an umbrella to shade the sun, and asked with concern: "Miss, the old lady didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
Liu Yaoyao pinched Almond's little face, and said with a smile: "No, didn't you ask you to sell medicine, why did you come back so soon?" ”
At the mention of this, Almond couldn't help but show a bright smile, and said happily: "Miss, we have earned three hundred taels today." ”
Liu Yaoyao took the silver ticket, "Are there many people who buy it?" ”
"No, no one has paid attention to us all this time, and then there was a strange old man who smelled the medicine and left at a high price." Almond was very excited, "He also offered a hundred taels to buy a booklet, but I didn't agree." ”
"That's right." Liu Yaoyao only thought that the person was also a doctor in the sect, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, "You take this one hundred taels, let Chef Zhang buy some wine and food, and everyone will have a good meal together in the evening." ”
Chef Zhang quickly arranged a table of good dishes, and at Liu Yaoyao's request, the group sat down without the distinction of master and servant.
It wasn't until the lights came on that the laughter and laughter stopped.
Everyone was busy cleaning up, but Liu Yaoyao became the most idle person in the yard, so he volunteered to deliver medicine to Mao Yue.
"Utsuki, how are you recovering from your injuries?"
Mao Yue was very happy to hear Liu Yaoyao's voice, but when she saw the black medicine in her hand, her whole little face wrinkled, and she wailed: "Miss, I'm already well, I don't need to drink medicine anymore." ”
"Good medicine is bitter."
Liu Yaoyao took out a packet of cane sugar from his pocket, and Mao Yue immediately surrendered spinelessly.
The two talked for a while, and Liu Yaoyao was already slightly drunk, and after returning to his room, he quickly fell asleep.
A figure appeared in the courtyard, and Utsuki, the only one who had not been drinking, sensed the movement and rushed out with a whip.
"Utsuki, you go back to your room." Xiao Shao's cold voice sounded.
"Yes."
Xiao Shao entered Liu Yaoyao's room and found that the red candles in the room were weeping, as bright as day.
He unceremoniously reached out and touched Liu Yaoyao's sleeping hole, and sure enough, he found a knife from under the pillow.
"Hey, I'm really defensive."
Xiao Shao looked at it for a while, and when he was awake, he was sleeping quietly, and he was a little uncomfortable.
He weighed her figure and shook his head, "With such a thin body, where did he get the strength to pierce King Ben's hand that day?" ”
