Chapter 23: The Bracelet
The excitement inside made Bai Yuhan very uncomfortable, and she quietly went out alone when everyone was still pushing cups and changing lamps and laughing loudly.
She sat on the cold steps, saw the lonely moon and felt a sadness in her heart, through the light in the room, she took off the silver bracelet with the pattern of wings and branches in her hand, put it in the palm of her hand, and stroked it over and over again, the sad past hit her heart, tears couldn't help but fall on the bracelet, she put the tear-soaked bracelet on her cheek, as if feeling the heartbeat of the man who had been, but unfortunately after this parting, it was difficult to meet again.
Just when she was sad, suddenly a pair of hands pushed her behind her back, and the bracelet on her hand fell to the ground, she was about to pick it up, but she saw Ah Xiang take the bracelet in her hand one step faster, and she was so proud that she held the bracelet.
When he was about to leave, Bai Yuhan said coldly: "Stop!" This is my bracelet, why did you take it so justifiably! Give it back to me!" Saying that, he stepped forward to grab it, but Ah Xiang pushed Bai Yuhan: "This is my thing, why do you say it's yours!"
Bai Yuhan is not to be outdone, how important this thing is to her, and she will never be allowed to take it away alone!
"Give it back to me! Do you know how important this thing is to me!" Bai Yuhan's expression was cold, she was extremely disgusted with the maid in front of her, and naturally the hatred in her eyes was also revealed, Ah Xiang had never seen her so angry, although she was a little timid in her heart, she was still fearless on the surface.
"This is mine, why should I give it back to you!" Ah Xiang also pretended to be angry.
"Give it to me! Otherwise I'll be unkind to you!" Bai Yuhan's cold face, her eyes were full of hostility to defend herself, at this time Li Ma rushed over, she saw that the two were arguing here, so she hurried over, and saw Ah Xiang holding Bai Yuhan's bracelet, the bracelet that should have been on Bai Yuhan's hand was said to be Ah Xiang's own, Li Ma also felt angry, because she kept seeing her wearing it in Bai Yuhan's hands.
Out of justice, Mama Li scolded Ah Xiang angrily: "You shameless slave maid, obviously Ah Yue's bracelet, why do you have to say that it is your own, this bracelet is what Ah Yue has been wearing, and it means a lot to him." "
"This bracelet is obviously mine, you don't usually deliberately target me because you favor him, yes, you have an unusual relationship...... Ah Xiang mocked.
When Mama Li heard this, she slapped her in the face, "Your mouth accumulates some virtue, don't have no education at all......"
Ah Xiang covered her face and cursed aggrievedly: "You two lonely men and widows, the relationship is so close, you are not afraid of shadows, I said that you still scolded me!" It's not what a weak heart is! This bracelet is mine!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
And at this moment, Ah Xiang felt a pain on the top of her head, it turned out that Bai Yuhan was pulling her hair, her voice was not loud but felt vicious: "Give it back to me!" You don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink! This is originally my thing, how can it be said that it is yours!" So Bai Yuhan stepped forward to grab it!
Li's mother also went up to help.
"Help, help, bullying! Mama Li and Ah Yue are going to beat me! Ah Xiang suddenly roared.
At this time, Xiao Ju also rushed over, out of a battle line with Ah Xiang, she pulled Bai Yuhan and scolded: "Are you crazy? "
Several people scuffled.
The movement outside is getting bigger and bigger, so that the people who participated in the banquet in Wen Mansion can't help but come out, in their eyes, a farce is staged, Ah Xiang is holding a silver bracelet in his hand, and that Ah Yue is robbing, Li Ma is helping on the side, and Xiao Ju is pulling Ah Yue's arm.
"Haha, don't you want to perform a show too, it's really exciting." The little marquis quipped.
"Miss, little marquis, you have to make decisions for me." Ah Xiangchai flicked her sideburns, crying and kneeling in front of the little marquis.
"What's wrong?" The little marquis asked.
"This is my bracelet, a family heirloom left to me by my mother, and Ah Yue said it was hers!" Ah Xiang cried.
Ah Yue stood neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "This is mine!"
"This is indeed Ah Yue's." Li's mother testified for Ah Yue.
"Mama Li lied, she clearly favored Ah Yue!" Ah Xiang showed a look of not being angry.
"That's it! I know what the purpose of Mama Li's favoritism is for Ah Yue......" Xiao Ju echoed on the side, in order to make everyone pay attention to herself, she glanced at Ah Yue and Mama Li, she walked in front of everyone and said, "I want to tell a joke to make everyone laugh." "
The little marquis touched her face and joked: "If you tell this joke to make everyone laugh, I will definitely reward you with some money." "
"Okay, I'm pretty sure I'm going to amuse you." Xiao Ju said happily.
Ah Xiang didn't understand on the side: "Is there any joke?" How I don't know. "
"That's the joke that happened in the house." Xiao Ju sold a pass, knowing that everyone would be interested.
"Oh? Tell me about the jokes in my house. Wen Yingqian was lying on Shao Yifei, expressing interest.
Everyone also expressed their interest and motioned for Xiaoju to continue.
"The joke is-" Ah Xiang glanced at Bai Yuhan and Mama Li, "Mama Li, come here, talk about it." "
Mama Li looked a little embarrassed, and was a little flustered in the face of them, "I don't know what you asked me to say." Her attitude towards Xiaoju was cold.
Xiao Ju said mercilessly: "Say it yourself." "
"You're so inexplicable!" Mama Li was angry and said angrily to Ah Xiang.
"Mama Li, you don't have something else to hide from us!" Wen Yingqian's expression was a little displeased.
"If you want to say it, you can say it!" The little marquis was also a little impatient.
At this moment, Mama Li seemed to be in an ice cellar, frozen by the gaze of these people, she wanted to escape, but the people waiting to see her jokes did not let her go.
"Well, I know that she can't talk about it, or I'll say it for her, so that you can enjoy it too! You know that? Mama Li still likes Ah Yue when she is old, and the two are tired of being together, hehe......" Xiaoju added fuel and vinegar.
"Hahaha, it's true, no wonder you favor Ah Yue......" Ah Xiang fanned the flames on the side.
"Is that really the case?" Wen Yingqian laughed: "This is okay, I'll match you!"
Bai Yuhan didn't expect it at all, she just wanted to spend her life quietly, but she didn't expect to encounter such an unwarranted slander, which made her angry and funny.
"Then Ah Yue, do you like Mama Li?" The little marquis is embarrassed.
At this time, Mama Li's face was haggard, her eyes were full of tears, her eyes were full of fear and injury, the always kind Mama Li's look made Bai Yuhan see it for the first time, she was so helpless that Bai Yuhan felt distressed, and Ah Xiang and Xiao Ju stood aside, looking at Bai Yuhan and Mama Li with contempt, and Ah Xiang added: "Say it quickly, what does the little marquis ask you about?" Xiao Ju also chimed in: "Yes, say it quickly, everyone wants to wait for your answer." "
"Ah Yue, no wonder Mama Li asked me to leave you in my mansion that day, I was thinking about how it was possible for Mama Li, who was so thin and weak to treat her subordinates so strictly, to leave you in the mansion, I just thought that Mama Li had taken a fancy to you...... Wen Yingqian quipped on the side.
At this moment, Bai Yuhan stood up from the ground with a stubborn expression, Ren Li's mother signaled her many times not to tell the facts, and she didn't see it, this time, she planned to tell the truth and give Li's mother a clean slate, she didn't want Li's mother to be slandered and looked down upon because of herself.
Her body trembled slightly and stood up in front of everyone, just when everyone was puzzled, her voice trembled a little because of emotion, and the grievances of these days turned into tears flowing out of her eyes, but her eyes were still very stubborn: "I like Mama Li." "
Everyone showed their eyes to watch the show.
"However, I regard Mama Li as my mother! Because she loves me so much......"
"Is it just because it's as simple as mother?" Wen Yingqian scoffed.
"That's nature, don't think too much about it!" Ah Yue glanced at Mama Li with a wry smile, and decided to tell the truth, she exhaled a long breath, to relax her mood.
"It's impossible for Mama Li to fall in love with me, because I'm a woman......" She spread her hair out, removed the mole, wiped off the black carbon ash on her face, and revealed a fair face, although she was thin, but her beautiful appearance was exposed in front of everyone's eyes, Shao Yifei's eyes widened, and then she held her forehead, thinking to herself: "Silly girl, why are you exposing your identity in front of everyone?" There are some things that you can endure and pass. "
In fact, Shao Yifei had long known that she was a daughter, from the night she fell into the trap, that day, when Bai Yuhan fainted, Shao Yifei felt the heat of her body, and it was obvious that she was having a fever. So he brought her close to himself to warm her, and when the two were close to each other, he already felt it, and then, suspiciously, he unbuttoned her clothes, and reached into it, but touched it...... He thought in his mind about her strange appearance for the past few days, and then he realized that she was abnormal, and that day, when he drank with her, she showed fear, as if to hide something.
And that night because the hunting was too tired, so it didn't take long for her to fall asleep, and then after she was rescued, it didn't take long for Wen Yingqian's birthday to arrive, and she never had contact again, this time, when everyone was joking, Shao Yifei pinched a sweat for Ah Yue.
"Mama Li helped me because she was kind, not because things were as dirty as you thought! Take care of yourselves! Also, it's my bracelet, but it says it's yours! You must not do anything more about stealing chickens and dogs!" Bai Yuhan glared at Xiao Ju and Ah Xiang, making Ah Xiang embarrassed, "Give me back the bracelet!"
But years of experience in the Wen Mansion have certainly created her sleek and unfazed temperament, she concealed the shame in her heart, but continued: "Hmph, you are a woman who deceived Miss, Miss, you must punish her!"
"Enough! You should be the one who should be punished, and you don't know what you should do if you spread rumors!" Shao Yifei got up, glared at Ah Xiang, and suddenly slapped her, she knelt down in a panic, Shao Yifei glared at her viciously: "You let us waste time here to listen to your rumors, what should you be guilty of?"
"Miss, are you in charge of me?" Ah Xiang looked at Wen Yingqian and cried that she felt aggrieved by Shao Yifei's action of beating herself.
And Wen Yingqian looked at Ah Xiang, who was red and swollen on her face, and didn't blame her, and then looked at Bai Yuhan, who looked indifferent, she suddenly slapped Bai Yuhan, Bai Yuhan covered her face and looked at her stubbornly.
Wen Yingqian said coldly: "You are a daughter, why do you want to dress up as a man?" I hate it when someone cheats me the most! What is your plot to infiltrate my house?"
"I don't have any conspiracy, I just want to protect myself and make ends meet." Bai Yuhan said coldly.
"Self-preservation? Heh, that's ridiculous, is that why you came to our Wen Mansion? However, you are my subordinate, you deceived me, I will definitely punish you! Mama Li knows that you are a daughter but hides it for you, and she will also be punished!" Wen Yingqian said hatefully.
