When Zhaoxue walked into the main hall, she bowed slightly towards the three people who were leading them: Old Master Leng, Old Mrs. Leng, and Leng Ao: "Zhaoxue has met my grandfather, grandmother, and father."
Aunt Shen, Nanny Jiang and Feng Lan also saluted: "I've seen the old master, the old lady, the master."
The three people in the main hall, except for the top one, stood up one after another and saluted Zhaoxue: "See you, Princess."
Leng Ao glanced at Zhaoxue and said, "Zhaoxue, Yuehe, please take a seat first."
Zhaoxue nodded slightly and sat down next to Leng Ao. Aunt Shen sat next to Aunt An.
When Old Mrs. Leng saw that everyone was seated, she said, "I asked you all to come here today to help Aunt Qin straighten things up. Aunt Qin has been in the Leng family for nearly eighteen years. She has been in charge of the family with all her heart since the death of the eldest princess. I have relieved a lot of worries for the old lady. I have also added an eldest young master and a third young lady to the Leng family. Now that I am pregnant, I have added a child to my Leng family. I have three obediences and four virtues, so today the old lady announces to everyone that I will support Aunt Qin. .From now on, Aunt Qin will be the mistress of the Leng family." After saying that, he looked at Aunt Qin and waved.
With an irresistible smile on her face, Aunt Qin stood up, walked to the old lady, and bowed: "Old lady."
Old Mrs. Leng nodded with satisfaction. Next to the old lady's personal maid, Grandma He from the mansion, brought a box to the old lady and opened it.
Suddenly a burst of light came out, and there was a crystal clear bracelet in the box. It was so shiny green, and there was no trace of dye on the whole body. It had a feeling of being out of this world, and you could tell at a glance that it was priceless. .
Everyone in the main hall looked at the bracelet. Aunt Qin looked at the bracelet, her eyes flashed, but she immediately showed a trace of pride and greed. She didn't expect that the old lady would give this jadeite bracelet to her. Hum, I don’t know what the woman would think when she saw this situation underground!
Aunt An, Leng Yi, Leng Yue, the stewards, and the servants looked at this bracelet, and they all showed full of greed, but there was also a trace of something else.
Old Master Leng and Leng Ao were both stunned when they saw the bracelet. They both knew that the Leng family did not have such a precious bracelet, but they did not say anything.
Leng Yu glanced at the bracelet quietly, then glanced away for a flash. When Aunt Shen saw the bracelet, she turned to look at Zhao Xue, with some worry in her eyes.
There was a wave of confusion in Zhaoxue's eyes. This bracelet was from her mother's hand. Zhaoxue remembered that her mother once said that this bracelet was given to her mother by the late Empress Dowager and Zhaoxue's grandmother. Her eyes gradually narrowed. But he didn't speak, and waited quietly.
Nanny Jiang on the side suddenly changed her expression when she saw the bracelet. It was her master's bracelet. After her master passed away, before she could take out the bracelet from his hand, the old lady came and took the bracelet away. Go. At first, the old lady said that she would keep the bracelet for herself and would give it to the princess on her wedding day. Looking at the current situation, the old lady planned to keep the bracelet for her own use and regard it as belonging to her Leng family. It is a family heirloom. Aunt Jiang glanced at Zhaoxue subconsciously and saw that her face was cold, but she was still sitting quietly. Aunt Jiang believed that Zhaoxue must know the origin of this bracelet, and she also believed that Zhaoxue would not. The person who let the bracelet fall into Aunt Qin's hands stood quietly aside without speaking.
Old Mrs. Leng's face remained unchanged, with a kind smile, she picked up the bracelet in the box and said: "Ms. Qin, this is an heirloom of my Leng family. Now I will hand over this bracelet to you. I hope you can
Keep it well and pass it on to the next mistress of the Leng family." Mrs. Leng had a wishful thinking in her mind. Although the bracelet belonged to the short-lived daughter-in-law, the short-lived daughter-in-law married into her Leng family, so all her belongings should also belong to her Leng family.
Family. And Zhaoxue is still young, so she probably doesn’t know the origin of this bracelet. Now that she will pass the original bracelet to the Qin family, this priceless bracelet can truly become an heirloom of her Leng family.
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Qin officially became Mrs. Qin, the mistress of the Leng family. Mrs. Qin's face was full of excitement, and she stretched out her right hand, trying to get the old lady to put the bracelet into her hand.
"Wait a minute." Zhaoxue's faint voice sounded, with a faint smile on her lips as she stood up.
Everyone's expressions changed. A strange look flashed in Old Mrs. Leng's eyes, but her face sank slightly. She looked at Zhaoxue and asked, "Zhaoxue, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later."
Zhaoxue bowed towards the old lady and said with a smile: "Grandma, can you show Zhaoxue the bracelet?"
The old lady Leng was stunned and looked a little embarrassed. Could it be that this girl knew the importance of this bracelet? She was about to refuse.
Leng Ao then spoke: "Zhaoxue, don't mess around. It's never too late to see the bracelet after your mother wears it." Although he knew that this was Murong Yu's dowry, not an heirloom of his Leng family. But now
The old lady has said this, and she cannot take it back, otherwise it will be a joke to the servants.
A touch of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Zhaoxue's mouth, haha... This is her grandmother, this is her father, but she still smiled softly and said: "Father, Zhaoxue is not messing around, Zhaoxue is just looking at this bracelet
It looks familiar..." As he said that, he walked closer and seemed to look at the bracelet in the old lady's hand very carefully, and then said: "Oh, Zhaoxue remembered, this bracelet belongs to my mother. I remember my mother said, this
It was the dowry given by the Empress Dowager to my mother. After my mother passed away, this bracelet was kept by my grandmother..."
"Princess, please don't talk nonsense." Grandma He suddenly said, looking at Zhaoxue with a serious face, and then said: "Princess, this bracelet is the old lady's dowry, how could it become the first lady's dowry?
"
The smile on Zhaoxue's lips became even bigger. In her previous life, Zhaoxue was too arrogant, so she didn't know the truth of many things. After her rebirth, Zhaoxue recalled the memories of her previous life in detail. In her previous life, she was almost ruined and her innocence was ruined.
Grandma also has a share.
Aunt He looked at Zhaoxue closely and saw that she was smiling. She was a little scared suddenly, but she still stood upright. She had the old lady and Aunt Qin, no, she had the old lady and the madam to back her up.
She, Murong Zhaoxue, is the princess, and she cannot do anything to her without sufficient reasons.
"Aunt He, are you sure? Do you want to take a closer look and confirm whether this bracelet is a family heirloom of the Leng family?" Zhaoxue smiled and kindly asked Aunt He to confirm it carefully.
Without even looking at the bracelet, Grandma He nodded and said, "I'm sure, this bracelet is an heirloom of the Leng family."
"Oh, really? Zhaoxue knows that so-called heirlooms must have been passed down for three generations, and just now Aunt He said that this bracelet was her grandmother's dowry, and now how come it has become an heirloom of the Leng family?" Zhaoxue said
He asked very doubtfully, and his brows wrinkled slightly.
Grandma He was stunned for a moment, panic flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't think of anything to say to refute Zhao Xue's words.
Zhaoxue didn't have a chance to let anyone else speak, and continued: "Zhaoxue has already taken a closer look at this bracelet. This bracelet is indeed my mother's dowry. Nanny Jiang also knows it, and when my mother married into the Leng family,
There is a dowry booklet, that booklet is still in Yuxueyuan, you can take a look at it and you will know."
The faces of Old Mrs. Leng and Leng Ao were already livid, especially Old Mrs. Leng. She didn't put the bracelet in the box, nor did she put it in Qin's hand. Old Mrs. Leng's face was slightly calm, but she never said anything. Qin was full of emotions.
Her face was vicious and her eyes were full of ferocity, but she lowered her head to cover up her expression. Aunt An quietly raised the corner of her mouth, looking at the sudden change as if she were watching a play. The rest of the people had different expressions.
"Zhaoxue, don't talk nonsense. This is related to the reputation of the Leng family." The old lady looked at Zhaoxue, her tone was deep, her face was ashen, and there was a hint of warning in her eyes. Zhaoxue's behavior in the past few days made her forget that Zhaoxue was
As the princess, Zhaoxue was regarded as a child like Leng Yue and Leng Yu.
Zhaoxue looked at the old lady Leng, bowed and said: "Grandma, Zhaoxue didn't talk nonsense, grandma, don't worry. Zhaoxue thinks there might be an evil slave doing something strange."
The old lady Leng narrowed her eyes. What did this girl mean? After thinking for a moment, the old lady knew what Zhaoxue meant. She glanced slightly at Aunt He. Aunt He was her dowry maid and treated her very much.
Loyalty. But... now I have to find someone to take responsibility for this matter, so I have no choice but to let go of Nanny He. After thinking about it, I followed Zhaoxue's words and asked: "What does Zhaoxue mean by this?"
Zhaoxue said with some seriousness: "Grandma, Zhaoxue is sure that this bracelet is my mother's dowry. But my grandmother is old and her eyesight cannot help seeing things clearly. I'm afraid she didn't look at the bracelet carefully. And this bracelet was taken by Aunt He.
Come up, Zhaoxue wonders, has Grandma He replaced the Leng family's heirloom bracelet?"
Grandma He was startled and said hurriedly: "Princess, you can't talk nonsense. This old slave is not. Old lady, you know..."
The old lady suddenly shouted: "Ahe, shut up, old lady, I am old and my eyesight is bad. Can't you see things clearly? How could you have picked up the wrong bracelet? Look carefully and see if you made a mistake.
?" After saying that, she handed the bracelet to Aunt He. Mrs. Leng said this because she wanted to keep Aunt He. According to the old lady's words, she said that Aunt He was also a little old, so it was possible that she had picked up the wrong bracelet.
of.
Aunt He's eyes flashed, and she immediately understood what the old lady meant. She hurriedly took the bracelet, held it in check very carefully, and then said: "Yes, yes, old lady, damn this old slave, I really took it by mistake."
bracelet."
The old lady nodded, her expression softened, and she looked at Zhaoxue and said, "That being said, Zhaoxue is now older, so grandma will give this bracelet to you." After saying that, she took the bracelet from Grandma He's hand.
Handed it to Zhaoxue. The old lady did this because she hoped that Zhaoxue would settle the matter like this. If Zhaoxue informed the Holy Lord, it would be terrible... The old lady was very regretful and distressed at this moment. Such a priceless thing had to be given away again. It would have been a long time ago.
I knew it right so I didn't take it out.
Zhaoxue took the bracelet and bowed to the old lady: "Thank you, grandma." Her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "It's understandable that Aunt He made a mistake. I also ask Aunt He to give me the real heirloom."
Bring the bracelet, don't keep Er Niang waiting for too long." The Er Niang that Zhao Xue was referring to was the Qin family, and Zhao Xue could not open her mouth to call her enemy from her previous life as her mother.
Qin's face had already turned green and red, and she even felt distorted. Murong Zhaoxue, you bitch, I, Qin Miaoxin, will never let you go! There was a fierce look in her eyes, but she lowered her head slightly and said nothing, putting it on her sleeve.
The fingers in my hand were embedded in my palm, and there were a few traces of blood...
Low Leng Yi and Leng Yue's faces were also livid, but because of the old man, old lady, Leng Ao, and Zhao Xue's status as princess, they did not dare to speak.
Grandma He looked anxious and looked at the old lady.
The old lady lowered her eyes slightly, took out a key from her waist, gave it to Grandma He, and ordered: "Don't take it by mistake again."
"Yes, old lady." Grandma He responded hurriedly, took the key and walked out of the main hall.
Zhaoxue looked at Aunt He's anxious figure, with a smile on her lips. When she saw her leaving the main hall, she said to the old lady: "Grandma, Zhaoxue is afraid that it will be bad if Aunt He picks up the wrong bracelet again.
Mom is already very anxious to wait. My grandmother must have worn the heirloom bracelet for my mother, and my nanny must have seen it too, so I’d better ask Nanny Jiang to follow me and have a look." After that, he made a gesture towards Nanny Jiang.
With a look on his face, he raised his hand slightly, revealing the bracelet on his jade wrist, and said, "Nanny, let's go and have a look."
Aunt Jiang's eyes flashed, she understood Zhao Xue's intention, she bowed and agreed, and hurried out of the main hall.
The old lady's face changed again. She couldn't say that she had never given her short-lived daughter-in-law a heirloom bracelet. If outsiders found out, her old lady's reputation would be ruined. She couldn't think of any other reason to stop Nanny Jiang, so she had to
Went with her.
Zhaoxue still had a faint smile on her lips, walked to her original position and sat down. Then she looked at Mrs. Qin and said kindly: "Second mother, you have been standing for a long time, please sit down first."
Ms. Qin bit her lip and said, "Thank you so much, Princess, for your kindness." Then Aunt Guo stepped forward and helped her sit back in her seat.
In the main hall, the masters, stewards, and servants were all silent, with different expressions, ranging from happy to angry, and each had their own thoughts.
More than a quarter of an hour later, just when everyone was getting impatient with waiting, Nanny Jiang came back, followed by Nanny He who was escorted by a boy.
"What's going on?" Leng Ao asked with a frown. The old man and the old lady both looked at the people entering the main hall with sullen faces.
Nanny Jiang bowed to Zhaoxue and the others: "Princess, old lady, old lady, sir. I just followed Nanny He to the old lady's house and waited for her to take out the bracelet, but after taking it for a long time, Nanny He still couldn't.
He didn't take it out and looked nervous. So I suspected that Aunt He had taken the Leng family's heirloom bracelet for herself, so I asked the servant to search Aunt He's house without asking the princess for permission. The servant followed.
This bracelet was found in Aunt He's house, and it was the heirloom bracelet of the Leng family. When Aunt He saw what had happened, she wanted to run away, but luckily she was recovered by the servant in time. "Nanny Jiang was originally the personal bodyguard of the eldest princess.
The maid is now Zhaoxue's nanny and has the trust of the Holy One. Therefore, in Leng Mansion, Nanny Jiang can call herself "I".
"Old lady, I don't have it. It was Nanny Jiang who did it to me. She put this bracelet in my house." Aunt He struggled to argue, looking at Nanny Jiang with hatred.
Nanny Jiang's face was still very calm and she said: "Mother He, all the servants in An Feng Courtyard saw me entering the courtyard with you and then entering the old lady's house. They have never been to your house at all.
How could it be possible to put the bracelet in your house, and the servant found the bracelet from your house? How could a slave like you have such a precious bracelet? This bracelet is obviously an heirloom of the Leng family, and it is still an heirloom of the Leng family.
Do you still want to quibble?"
"This... this..." Grandma He was speechless when she was asked. Nanny Jiang did go into the yard with her just now. The one who went into the old lady's house together had not entered her house, but how could her house be searched?
Want to get this bracelet? He hurriedly said to the old lady: "Old lady, this old slave was wronged. The old lady has to make the decision for me!"
The old lady looked at the bracelet in Nanny Jiang's hand with a sullen face, and her eyes suddenly lit up. The bracelet was red and crystal clear. It was a ruby bracelet. The ruby bracelet was very precious, although it was not as good as the one just now.
The one given to Zhaoxue is rare.
Zhaoxue looked at the old lady's eyes, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, and looked at Aunt He and said: "Aunt He, the matter has come to this, the evidence is in front of you, how dare you still quibble!" Then he turned to the old lady and said:
"Grandma, what do you think we should do with Grandma He?"
"The old slave is unjust, old lady, you know...Old lady...Old slave always listens to the old lady's instructions..." Grandma He shouted hurriedly towards the old lady.
The old lady narrowed her eyes and shouted hurriedly: "Shut up, someone will drag this old evil slave out and beat him thirty times, then drive him out of the house." How dare this old slave say this, huh, use this old slave.
It's worth changing to a ruby bracelet.
The young man took the order and dragged Grandma He out of the hall. Grandma He was so anxious that she was about to shout, but saw the old lady's stern eyes and knew the old lady's methods in her heart, so she had to shut up obediently and was
The boy took him out.
The smile on Zhaoxue's lips became even wider. The old lady must have taken a fancy to that bracelet, but the old lady didn't know that this ruby bracelet is precious, but it must be intact to be considered valuable. The ruby bracelet in Nanny Jiang's hand,
A few months ago, it was accidentally knocked by Zhao Xue, and there was a very small gap in the place where Nanny Jiang was holding it. Now this ruby bracelet is only worth a few hundred taels of silver at most.
Nanny Jiang also had a hint of sarcasm on her lips, gave the bracelet to the old lady, and then retreated to Zhao Xue.
The old lady took the bracelet. She was indeed old, and the small gap on the bracelet was invisible. There was a smile on her face, and she waved to Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin was lowering her head. The priceless bracelet originally belonged to her, but now it was taken away by Murong Zhaoxue, a bitch. And this bitch actually called her Erniang, which was an insult to her.
.Also, Aunt He, although she was the old lady's personal slave, had become hers. This bitchy girl was so angry that she didn't even notice the ruby bracelet.
She didn't even notice the old lady waving to her.
When the old lady saw Mr. Qin lowering his head and showing no reaction, his expression changed slightly.
Leng Yue hurriedly called: "Mother, grandma is calling you." She could now call Qin her mother openly. She was now the legitimate daughter of the Leng family. She saw the ruby bracelet in the old lady's hand again, and the hatred on her face just now
The intention has been replaced by a smile.
Mrs. Qin regained consciousness and hurriedly raised her head. The old lady waved to her again. She hurriedly walked to the old lady and squatted down. When she saw the old lady holding a ruby bracelet, she put it into her hand.
The resentment in her eyes turned into excitement and greed in a blink of an eye. This ruby bracelet is extremely precious. Due to the occasion, Mrs. Qin did not pay attention to it and hurriedly thanked the old lady: "Thank you, old lady."
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, pulled Qin up, explained to her some more, and asked her to take good care of herself and so on.
Old Master Leng and Leng Ao looked at what was going on, their faces already darkened, and they did not say a word.
Zhaoxue looked at the smile on Mrs. Qin's face, and secretly thought in her heart, how would Mrs. Qin react if she discovered the gap in the bracelet?
