Chapter 238: Duplicity
Inside the Lanxiang Courtyard in Liu's Mansion.
Liu Jinglan, the second lady of Liu's house, sat quietly on the side embroidering a handkerchief, on which were good-looking peonies, fiery and red, particularly bright.
"Second Miss, your craftsmanship is getting better and better." Yahuan praised on the side.
"What's the use of good craftsmanship, you have to marry well." The second aunt Hu pouted, looking down on this daughter, she was soft and weak in nature, she was not competitive in anything, and she was not favored in Liu's Mansion, just like her, it was strange that she could marry a good family.
"Auntie, I heard that the old lady invited Mr. Su to dinner tonight, and I don't know what happened." Aunt Zhou's mother-in-law said on the side.
"Don't mention them to me, and I still want to recruit my uncle to come to the door, if her daughter recruits my uncle to come to the door, this big Liu Mansion will still have a place for us." The more the second aunt thought about it, the more angry she became.
"Not really."
"Mother, what are you angry about, it makes sense that my father wants to recruit an aunt back."
"You dead girl, you think everyone's heart is as big as yours." The second aunt was so angry that she hated iron, how could she give birth to such a daughter.
"Second aunt, then Su Gongzi will not marry the eldest lady, let alone become the son-in-law of Liu Mansion."
"What do you mean?" The second aunt was puzzled, if he didn't have that meaning, how could he come to the banquet.
Liu Jinglan smiled and didn't speak,
The second aunt didn't say anything when she saw her, and she didn't ask: "You kid, although you have a weaker temperament, you have always had your own ideas since you were a child, didn't you do something to your sister?" "If that's the case, it's not like this daughter has nothing to offer at all.
Liu Jinglan shook her head: "I met that Su Gongzi once, Su Gongzi doesn't like his sister, I can see it at a glance." β
A man with his own power, if he doesn't like a woman, there is nothing he wants in Liu's mansion, how can he agree.
"No, if your sister is like her, there will be men who don't like it." That's not the point, the point is whether the man is blind or not.
"Don't like it for sure."
"So I'll rest assured, daughter, you have to work harder, if you can recruit an aunt for your father to come back, and the child born will be your father's surname, this big Liu Mansion will be ours."
Liu Jinglan bowed her head.
β¦β¦
Xiaomeng was half-lying on the bed, looking at the top of the bed with dark eyes.
The master has been out for a few days, I don't know if he has come back, if he comes back, he should come to inform her.
Reaching into his arms with both hands, he took out Su Yuzhe's jade pendant and looked at it slowly.
Round, cool.
It feels good to the touch, and when you touch it, the cold and cold feeling slides through the whole body.
She pressed the jade pendant to her face, feeling its delicate smoothness.
"Poof......." It was the voice of a man laughing.
Xiao Meng put down the jade pendant, her whole body tensed, and her eyes swept out of the window like needles.
A figure jumped in, with a ruffian smile on his face: "If you miss me, just say it, why borrow things to be lyrical." β
Xiao Meng looked at the man who broke in late at night, and her eyes narrowed: "Why are you here?" β
Shouldn't he dine in Liu's Mansion and spend a good day with beauties.
"If I don't come, how do you know that you think of me like this, what a duplicitous woman." Su Yuzhe was in a good mood, and the previous qi disappeared without a trace when he saw Xiaomeng cherishing the jade pendant so much.
Tian Xiaomeng took the jade pendant back into his arms: "I just think that this jade pendant is a good thing, it has nothing to do with his master, if you are willing to be affectionate, I have no opinion." "She really just felt the texture.
As for Su Yuzhe, did she just think about it? I don't think so.
Su Yuzhe sat in front of her bed, as if he didn't hear her words, but asked softly: "Does it hurt?" β
Xiaomeng shook her head, in fact, it didn't hurt much, she gritted her teeth and passed.
Su Yuzhe saw a small amount of blood on it, and his face sank: "You have worked hard." β
"When I was just washing my feet, I moved a little." I don't want my family to see that there is something wrong with this hand, so I can't stay still.
Su Yuzhe's eyes flashed when he heard this, he gently untied it for her, sprinkled a layer of medicinal powder on it, and then wrapped it back again: "This is the best traumatic medicine, sprinkle this, and your injuries will heal in less than three days." β
"There's such a good thing, why didn't you give it to me just now."
"I've got to find an excuse to send the medicine." Su Yuzhe chuckled.
Tian Xiaomeng rolled her eyes, naΓ―ve.
His eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Do you want to know the meaning of that jade pendant?"
"I don't want to." Xiaomeng shook her head.
She just played with it, regardless of what it meant.
Su Yuzhe had already spoken, and there were some things that she had to know: "This jade pendant was prepared by our Su family for the daughter-in-law of the Su family, and whoever owns this jade pendant means that she is the daughter-in-law of the Su family." β
The implication is that now that you have taken my jade pendant, you are my appointed daughter-in-law.
Xiao Meng looked at him strangely, isn't this Su Yuzhe still holding a grudge against what he said before, and even took out such a clumsy excuse.
One stretched out his hand, took out the jade pendant and threw it out: "Give it back to you." Su Yuzhe had already prepared and took it gently.
As if juggling, he took out a string of white jade beads from his arms.
The beads were very small, about the size of a bean, and the same color as her hairpin, all of them were shiny white jade.
Su Yuzhe strung the jade pendant with the beads and became the pendant of this white jade chain.
Su Yuzhe glanced at it, yes, she must be beautiful when she wears it.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Meng moved behind the head of the bed.
"Tian Xiaomeng, you accepted our Su family's things, our Su family has no intention of asking for it back, whether you want it or not, it is yours now." Joke, this jade pendant has been given to her, which represents her identity.
Tian Xiaomeng frowned: "Su Yuzhe, are you here really?" β
It's just a jade pendant, if she doesn't take it seriously, it's useless.
"There are no lies."
Su Yuzhe stepped forward and hung the beads around Xiaomeng's neck, as he expected, this string of beads matched her very well, and it was very good-looking.
Xiao Meng glanced at it, and it didn't seem to be ugly.
"Tian Xiaomeng, you have to wear it all the time, don't take it off."
"It's too conspicuous, in case someone wants to rob it." The color of the white jade is so good, how good is the color of the jade pendant, if it weren't for this thing hanging on her body, she also had the intention of robbing it.
"It's good if you don't rob people." Su Yuzhe glanced at her.
Xiao Meng's face immediately flushed, since she came here, she has been very reasonable.
Except for solving the two little rascals who were unkind to her last time, she is a good citizen here and has not done anything bad.
"Okay, just leave something so valuable, you can go."
"I'm more valuable, do you want to stay together." Su Yuzhe's starlight was as bright as starlight, looking at her.
Tian Xiaomeng hooked his hand at him: "Okay, it just so happens that this girl is also lonely, and it seems that it is not bad to find someone to warm the bed." "It's not a man, it's not that she can't afford to play, and under the premise that Su Yuzhe's figure is so good, it's okay to stay.
Su Yu's face darkened.
He knew that this woman was crazy and didn't look like a woman at all.
