Chapter 20 Theft
Seeing Cang'er standing at the door waiting to listen to her instructions, Aunt Liu ignored it, but smiled at Yan Fujiao, who was sitting in the right seat: "Master, I sent the Hetian Yuan stone you gave me some time ago to make a white jade bracelet, and I want to make a meeting gift for cumin, do you think it is appropriate?" ”
Father Yan casually put the teacup on the table, and his tone was unprecedentedly gentle: "Although I gave you something, now that it is in your hands, you are the master." If you want to give cumin as a meeting gift, or if you don't look good, you can throw it away, it's up to you, you don't need to discuss it with me. ”
He grasped Aunt Liu's hand, and his eyes were full of pity: "You are pregnant with a child now, you have to cultivate well, don't always bother with some unnecessary things!" ”
Aunt Liu bent her lips and smiled, her smug eyes swept over Liu without a trace, and most of her body moved to Father Yan's side, as if she wanted to lean on Father Yan across the coffee table in the middle.
"Master, look at what you said, when did I dislike throwing away the things you gave me? They are all offered in the room like treasures! Since you said let me call the shots, then I'll have someone take the things and give them to cumin! ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed Cang'er, who was guarding the side: "Since the eldest lady has given the second girl pearls to save flowers and phoenixes, I can't be compared to my aunt." Go to my house and bring the newly-beaten white jade bracelet with you." ”
Cang'er listened to it, and hurriedly agreed and went out.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the antechamber was suddenly unsettling. Liu didn't seem to see the goosebumps between Father Yan and Aunt Liu, leaning against the window, holding small scissors to focus on trimming the spider plant hanging in the air. However, Yan Haiyue sat on the side and looked at Aunt Liu, her face was slightly pale, she endured it and endured it, and finally spoke up, her words seemed to be with a bayonet, and her sentences were sharp.
"Some people are like that, they come from humble backgrounds and want to build confidence in other ways, to compare themselves with others. I thought I was pregnant with a child, and it was really unpleasant to look at it all day long! ”
Aunt Liu's face turned red suddenly, her hand holding the handkerchief clenched her fists tightly, and the long nails of her little thumb almost pinched into the flesh.
After staring at Yan Haiyue for a long time, he suddenly chuckled: "In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with being from a humble background. No pain, no gain! Haven't I been favored by my lord yet? On the contrary, there are some people who are from a scholarly family and seem to be knowledgeable, but they don't even have a good upbringing, and they dare to splash in front of their elders! ”
The words, like throwing a stick, hit Liu and Yan Haiyue at once. Yan Haiyue bit her lip tightly, straightened her chest and showed no weakness: "Who are you talking about!" married into the Yan family by disgraceful means, and tried his best to win people's hearts, so I really look down on the favor I have won! ”
Aunt Liu snorted lightly: "Say I'm disgraceful? How glorious is your mother? She doesn't know how many lives she has on her back! She held Father Yan's hand, "Master, you see, Haiyue usually treats me like this." If the child in my belly is angry, you have to call the shots! ”
Father Yan's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he scolded Yan Haiyue who was about to talk back: "Okay! Don't blame your aunt for saying you, is this the attitude towards the elders? Where do you use all the rules you learn on weekdays? Seeing that he is going to get married in two years, won't this virtue be a shame for the Yan family in the future! Ming'er, I will send someone to the school to tell Mr. Yang, don't learn any four books and five classics, and I am not a boy. Let's take a look at "Female Commandments" and "Internal Training" to learn good women's virtues! ”
Yan Haiyue was angry, but he didn't dare to resist Yan's father in person, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the Liu family at the window. However, Liu didn't care about the situation here, and didn't even glance at it.
Yan Xiaowei noticed the turbulent dark tide between these people, looked at the nose and nose, and sat on the side dignifiedly. This inner house has always been complicated, and instead of helping others to support themselves, it is better to take care of yourself first.
The atmosphere was stagnant, and suddenly Cang'er hurried in from outside, snoring and panting, and his cheeks were crimson!
"Auntie, auntie, it's not good!"
Father Yan was already angry at the moment, and when he saw her rushing in recklessly, he immediately slapped his big palm on the table: "What's the matter!" From the young lady to the maid, there is no one who abides by the rules, what are you doing in a hurry! ”
Cang Er was startled, his body trembled, and he glanced at Father Yan in fear.
After a while, he whispered back: "Master, that's the case." I was instructed by my aunt to go to Tingfengzhai to get the jade bracelet, but after I arrived at Tingfengzhai, Aunt Li searched for a long time and didn't find it! And even several pieces of jewelry with makeup are gone! This is not a trivial matter, let me report to the lord and aunt first! ”
Aunt Liu heard this, and immediately stood up from the chair: "What? It's gone? How could it be! I was still fiddling with it before I went to sleep last night, how could I say that it was gone? ”
