Seeming to detect that Hua Yiliu's mood was a bit off, Hua Chu Yu said, "Tang Jie, this pair of cloud hairpins is very unique. Which craftsman made them?"
"Is that so? I feel that the color is a bit plain." Hua Yiliu forced a smile and touched the silver hairpin in her hair. "Is it really beautiful?"
"En, with your complexion, it's very beautiful." Hua Chu Yu nodded and then looked towards Hua Xi Wan. "Xi Wan, don't you think so?" She didn't know that Hua Xi Wan already knew about the young master of the Zhou Family, so she gave her a meaningful look.
"Second Tang Jie is right." Hua Xi Wan's tone was envious. "Even I want to make a pair, but I'm afraid it won't look as good as you."
"Xi Wan, you're naturally beautiful. Why would you need these external objects to add to your radiance?" Hua Yiliu's expression improved greatly and she spoke with more vigor. "Before I came to the marquis fu today, Mother especially told me to thank you properly. Previously, because of my uncle's case, Prince Xian was suspected. Mother feels very guilty and asks for Xi Wan's forgiveness. "
"It's nothing." Hua Xi Wan smiled and had the servants change two plates of pastries for her two cousins. "We're all family. There's no need to be so courteous."
When Hua Chu Yu heard Hua Yiliu's words, she realized that Second Aunt had implicated Prince Xian's fu for the Zhang Family. No wonder Mother had gloated and said that Second Uncle and Second Aunt had argued a few days ago. It was probably because of this matter. As a junior, although she shouldn't judge Second Aunt's actions, when she thought of how Hua Xi Wan had been implicated, she couldn't help but say, "Fortunately, Prince Xian is magnanimous. It wouldn't be good if he hated Xi Wan because of this."
Hearing the blame in Hua Chu Yu's words, the smile on Hua Yiliu's face froze. "You're the only one who knows how to worry about Xi Wan. Then who caused Xi Wan to be bedridden for two months?"
When Hua Chu Yu heard this, she wanted to argue that if she hadn't bumped into her, she wouldn't have fallen into the pond and caused Xi Wan to fall into the water in the dead of winter to save her. But when she thought of how rare it was for Xi Wan to return to her maternal home, she didn't want to make the atmosphere too tense. Thus, she suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Older Cousin's memory is very good. You still remember what happened so many years ago." Hua Xi Wan put down the teacup in her hand and said with a faint smile, "I almost don't remember how it happened. It seems like it was because you bumped into Second Cousin? Or Second Cousin slipped and fell into the pond? "
Hua Yiliu's lips trembled slightly. A moment later, she laughed dryly and said, "I don't remember clearly."
Hua Chu Yu chuckled and didn't say anything. But the servant girls who served the girls in the room all knew what this chuckle meant. The two servant girls who served Hua Yiliu couldn't help but lower their heads.
Although Hua Yiliu's expression didn't change, a wave of hatred rose in her heart. Sitting here, she was just a joke to Hua Xi Wan and Hua Chu Yu. She wanted to leave, but because she had to consider Hua Xi Wan's identity, she had to keep a smile on her face.
"I remember that you always suffer from summer. How have you been eating and sleeping recently?" Hua Chu Yu didn't want to lower herself to Hua Yiliu's level. She simply ignored her and focused all her attention on Hua Xi Wan, "How are the servants in Jun Wang's residence serving you?"
"The servants are very attentive. The rules in Jun Wang's residence are very strict. The servants don't dare to be careless." Hua Xi Wan clapped her hands, "Speaking of which, I forgot one thing. A few days ago, I found some isolated poetry books in the residence. I thought that you might like them, so I had someone make a copy for you. Later, I'll have Bai Xia give it to your servant girl."
"Really?" Hua Chu Yu's face lit up. She immediately said, "I can't wait. Why don't you have Good Bai Xia give it to me now?"
"Second Young Lady, please wait a moment." Bai Xia bowed to Hua Chu Yu, "Even if you call this servant bad Bai Xia, this servant will still give it to you."
"I can't bear to say the word bad about such a good girl." Hua Chu Yu covered the corner of her mouth and chuckled, "Quickly give me the poetry book. Later, I'll praise you more."
"It's a little stuffy in the room. I'm going out for a walk." Hua Yiliu suddenly stood up and said this. She then walked out with two servant girls.
"Don't mind her. Her temper has become more and more strange recently." Hua Chu Yu was afraid that it would affect Hua Xi Wan's mood, so she hurriedly comforted, "These days, she's been so strange to me. It's as if the entire Hua family owes her something."
Hua Xi Wan didn't care and raised her eyebrows, "It's fine."
After seeing that she really didn't care, Hua Chu Yu sighed and said, "Although I understand that she's in a bad mood because of the Zhou Family's young master's concubine, there's no reason in the world that everyone has to give in to her just because she's a little unfortunate. Even if we give in to her, what's the use? After marrying into the Zhou Family, her husband and parents-in-law will give in to her. That's what's really useful. "
Hua Xi Wan knew that Hua Yiliu was a little narrow-minded and liked to let her imagination run wild. If she married into the Zhou Family with this kind of character, she might suffer a lot before she could learn to be smart. "Not everyone in the world is her parents and will give in to her every whim."
Hua Chu Yu wanted to say that even her parents couldn't give in to her every whim. However, when she thought of her mother's usual behavior, she sighed in her heart and was too ashamed to say this.
"By the way, where did Green Bead go?" Hua Chu Yu only saw Bai Xia, Zi Shan, and Red Tassel. She felt a little strange, "Didn't she come back with you?"
"Jun Wang's residence needs someone to look after it, so I left her in the residence." Hua Xi Wan took a sip of digestive tea, yawned, and said, "Don't go back tonight. Stay and chat with me. Now that I'm married into Jun Wang's residence, I can't see you as often as before."
"Even if you drive me away today, I won't leave." Hua Chu Yu got up and walked to the chair closest to Hua Xi Wan and sat down. She sighed and smiled bitterly, "These days, my mother is choosing a marriage partner for me and always likes to compare me with you." Speaking of this, she felt a little helpless, "Children don't talk about their mother. If she offends you with words in the future, I'll apologize to you first and ask you to be more tolerant. In fact, she doesn't have a bad heart."
Seeing Hua Chu Yu's awkward expression, Hua Xi Wan nodded and said, "I understand Third Aunt's character."
Hua Chu Yu still smiled bitterly. She was grateful and felt sorry for Hua Xi Wan. If it weren't for her mother spreading rumors outside, how could there be rumors that Xi Wan was a woman without beauty? She just didn't expect that a few words her mother casually said outside would be known by everyone in the capital. This was completely unexpected.
In Jun Wang's residence, Mutong stood outside the study and looked at the scorching sun hanging in the sky. He couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead. Just as he put away the handkerchief, he saw a woman in green walking towards him. He frowned and walked in front of her to stop her, "Isn't this Miss Green Bead? What do you want?"
Green Bead bowed to Mutong politely, "The weather in my house is hot, so I made broken ice sour plum soup for Jun Wang Ye to relieve the heat. I'll have to trouble you to bring it in with the Wood-main Pipe." She put the food in front of Mutong and didn't have any intention of entering the study.
Mutong looked at the food box in front of him and said with a fake smile, "There is something that Miss Green Bead might not know. Jun Wang Ye has never liked to use sweet and sour food. Miss, you should keep this broken ice sour plum soup for yourself. This study is an important place and you can't casually go near it. In the future, if you are punished because of this, don't blame me for not warning you. "
Green Bead had never been treated so rudely by Mutong before. She was stunned for a while before she recovered. Looking at Mutong's fake smile, she avoided his gaze and said in a gentle voice, "If that's the case, then I won't disturb you."
Mutong coldly watched Green Bead walk back with the food box. When the other party walked seven or eight steps away, he called out to her, "Miss Green Bead."
Green Bead stopped and turned around with a faint smile on her face, "Wood-main Pipe, is there anything else?"
"It's nothing." Mu Tong smiled. "Please take care."
Green Bead's eyes flashed with doubt. After she walked out of the courtyard, she still didn't understand the meaning of Mutong's words.
Seeing Green Bead's figure disappear in the corridor, Mutong sneered. Previously, this girl was still a sensible girl, but recently, she was becoming more and more unreasonable. She actually dared to make food for Jun Wang Ye without thinking about her own identity.
Jun Wang Fei seemed to be a person who didn't like to meddle in things, but in fact, she was a person who was difficult to fool. Green Bead was sending herself to a dead end. He looked back at his trusted subordinates who were guarding the study and said with some disdain, "The most important thing for a servant is not the means, but the loyalty. If you have thoughts that you shouldn't … "He narrowed his eyes," Let's see what happens to this Green Bead. "
He also wanted to see how this Jun Wang Fei's means were.
Hua Xi Wan rested for the night in Nghi An Marquis. She had just finished dressing and didn't have time to eat breakfast when she heard a servant report that Jun Wang Ye had come to take her back to the fu.
After helping Hua Xi Wan arrange the hairpins in her hair, Hua Chu Yu took a step back and looked carefully. She smiled and said, "Very beautiful."
Hua Xi Wan smiled and walked out of the courtyard side by side with Hua Chu Yu. Breathing in the fresh morning air, she tilted her head to look at Hua Chu Yu and said, "I remember that you like to collect the morning dew to make tea."
"It's a pity that most of the brewed tea goes into your lazy stomach," Hua Chu Yu shook her head and sighed, "But you are also a person who doesn't understand elegance."
"Vulgarity has its benefits, elegance has its benefits. We call it the great vulgarity but the great elegance," Hua Xi Wan shook her head carelessly and said, "If a house is full of elegant people, what's the point?"
Hua Chu Yu wanted to laugh at her fallacious logic. When she raised her head, she saw a man in embroidered clothes at the end of the corridor walking towards them with several taijian and servant girls. She stopped and smiled faintly, saying, "The person who came to pick you up is here."
Hua Xi Wan smiled at her and said a few more words before walking towards Yan Jinqiu.
Hua Chu Yu stood quietly in place and waited for Prince Xian to finish speaking to Hua Xi Wan with a smile. Then she adjusted Xi Wan's hairpins and disappeared at the end of the corridor together. Only then did she slowly walk out with her servant girls.
