The vicious villain is in luck again

An Ran was born hundreds of years ago, and countless people have seen her. In her impression, she has never met a truly ugly girl.

Luyuan is also a good-looking girl.

Her eyes were cut like eyes, and she could show some affection at a glance. Although she didn't have a big expression, the slightly bitten corners of her lips made her look even more pitiful.

An Ran looked at her silently.

It was obviously a smooth teacup, but it made a squeaking sound when it was picked hard.

It sounds like the teacup is suffering, but it is an object after all, and the only ones who really suffer are people.

She grabbed Luyuan's hand, opened it finger by finger, and took the teacup over.

There are already a few thin scratches on it.

Looking at Luyuan's hands again, her fingernails were red and could not go away for a long time.

An Ran gently stroked Lu Yuan's finger, "It hurts a lot, doesn't it?"

Luyuan let her touch her, tears falling down her cheeks.

The tears fell on the back of An Ran's hands one after another, making her hands moist and moist.

Seeing that she was so choked that she couldn't speak, An Ran softened her tone and said, "The Prayer Festival will be in a few days. Do you want to go back and see your mother?"

Luyuan reacted. She wiped away the tears that kept falling with her other hand and pointed at An Ran. Her eyes were washed by water and were bright and shiny.

"May I?"

After asking, she hesitated again, "But... what should you do?"

She is a servant who has just entered the palace. Logically speaking, she is not allowed to return home within a year.

What's more, she is also the eldest lady's personal maid. During these days of Prayer Festival, she must follow the eldest lady and take good care of her.

An Ran said, "You weren't with me a few days ago, why didn't I still live a good life?"

Luyuan was shaken by An Ran's words. Although she had only been in the house for more than a month, she really missed her mother.

The closer the Prayer Festival came, the more she thought about it.

But when she thought about the eldest lady's depressed reaction not long ago, she felt even more guilty.

In fact, the eldest lady is not doing well either. Look at how haggard she is. Even the master's return cannot make her lively.

"Otherwise, I'd better not go back." Luyuan said to An Ran after struggling for a while.

An Ran was quite surprised. She put her hands on the table and leaned towards Luyuan, "Why?"

Is it possible that Luyuan is worried about having all her months deducted? Or is she afraid of causing dissatisfaction with Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, which will lead to losing her job?

Thinking of this, An Ran said patiently, "I asked you to go back. The whole government will not have any objections, and you will not be deducted from your salary. Don't you feel reassured?"

Luyuan became more and more excited when she saw the eldest lady thinking about her so much.

She seemed to have misunderstood the eldest lady in the past. The eldest lady was not so cold-blooded and unkind, nor was she so arrogant.

This is a very good young lady.

"Miss, I'm very relieved." She took out the handkerchief and wiped all the tears on her face, and smiled sheepishly, "It's just..."

Luyuan lowered her head again.

It's just that she feels more and more sorry for the eldest lady. Because from the moment she came to the eldest lady's side, she has never truly served the eldest lady with all her heart and thought about the eldest lady.

Now she has to accept the eldest lady's favor. She is really embarrassed.

Her mother had told her to treat others sincerely, but she had always been insincere towards the eldest lady.

Once she thought about it like this, she felt guilty for her. If she really left the house, I'm afraid she would feel guilty even if she was by her mother's side in those days.

What should I do to repay some young ladies?

Luyuan raised her head and wanted to ask An Ran if there was anything she needed. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a small box containing red coral beads on the table.

An idea flashed through her mind quickly.

Got it!

"The eldest lady likes this kind of beads

"A small bracelet?" Luyuan pointed her finger on her cheek and thought for a moment, "Or, other hairpin jewelry?"

An Ran looked at Luyuan with a smile on her face, and there was expectation on her face, like the sky after a light rain, bright and fresh.

What a beautiful girl.

She likes to see the smiles of girls when they are in a good mood.

An Ran's mood improved a lot. She took the same posture as Lu Yuan, holding her chin with one hand and tapping half of her face with the other hand, smiling slightly, "Why are you asking me this question?"

?」

Luyuan smiled lively, a bit like her younger daughter, "My mother can not only embroider beautiful patterns, but she is also good at making jewelry."

She scratched her head in embarrassment, "I also learned a little bit, but I'm not good at it and my craftsmanship is not as good as my mother's."

An Ran asked, "Are you going to give me jewelry made by yourself?"

Luyuan giggled and nodded, "I have all kinds of things at home. Miss, you can tell me the pattern you want. When I go back, I will make it with my mother."

An Ran sat up straight, "Isn't this too tiring for you and your mother?"

Luyuan shook her head, "No, it's too late for my mother to be grateful."

She was a little anxious, but her expression was sincere, "Miss, please don't shirk, let me do something."

"Otherwise." She put her hand on her heart, "My heart will be uneasy."

Seeing that Lu Yuan really wanted to give her something, An Ran no longer refused.

What kind of jewelry do you want? If you think about it carefully, she really doesn't have anything that interests her.

She went through it twice in her head and couldn't think of anything, so she said, "I think this red coral bead is quite good."

"Just make something similar to this."

An Ran tapped the small box with her fingertips and pushed it to Luyuan.

Lu Yuan responded briskly.

She stood up and was about to leave.

An Ran stopped her, "Wait."

When Luyuan turned around, she moved her chin in the direction of the small box, "Take it with you."

Luyuan knocked on her head, "Look at me, I've forgotten all about it."

She came over and carefully put away the beads, "Miss, I will put the beads in the warehouse right now."

An Ran shook her head, "That's not what I meant."

Seeing Luyuan's puzzled expression, she explained: "Your mother has never seen this red coral beaded look. How do you do it?"

Luyuan was so shocked that her mind almost lost its focus.

"Miss." She asked in disbelief, "What do you mean?"

An Ran smiled and nodded, "That's right, you have to pay more attention to it during the days of the Prayer Festival."

"But." Luyuan was still surprised, "It's too precious. It was gifted by Concubine Yan. Are you really so relieved to leave it to me to take it out?"

An Ran said calmly, "I'm very relieved about you."

"Besides." She raised her hand, looked at her nails, and touched them from time to time, "So what the concubine gave you, it's just a dead thing. It's important, but not that important."

Since Concubine Yan chose to give it to her, what it is used for is beyond her control.

Moreover, no matter how precious the things in the human world are, can they be as precious as the elixirs, exotic flowers and exotic animals?

An Ran has seen so many good things in the past hundreds of years, but this red coral bead is really not high on her list.

What's more, Jiang Jiajia has a big business. Although red coral is precious, it is not that unique. It is not really difficult to find a substitute.

Even if it is lost or broken, she will just carry it for Luyuan when the time comes.

"After all, you don't need to worry too much. Just do whatever you need to do." An Ran stood up and pushed Lu Yuan out of the room. "I'm tired and want to take a nap."

She saw Luyuan wandering around and then turned back to say something to her, so she closed the door until only half of her body was left.

Width, stretched out his head, stretched out one hand to keep distance from Luyuan, "Don't let others disturb me."

Seeing An Ran lazily yawning, tears welling up in his eyes, and looking extremely sleepy, Lu Yuan took back the words that were on her lips to persuade An Ran to take back the red coral beads.

That's all, there are still a few days before the Prayer Festival, so she should take care of this valuable item for the eldest lady.

Luyuan thought, stuffed the small box into her chest, patted it, jumped twice more, and after seeing that the small box was well hidden, she walked outside.

An Ran comforted Luyuan here, and Mrs. Jiang and Master Jiang walked all the way back to their residence after An Ran left.

Due to An Ran's appearance and departure, the original joyful atmosphere was dissipated a lot. The smile on Mrs. Jiang's face faded a little, and became fainter as time went by. Until the smile in the room could no longer be seen.

Out.

Mr. Jiang still looks cheerful, but the faint expectation and smile have disappeared, leaving only some residual warmth of the smile, and more of an incomprehensible complexity.

Mrs. Jiang was half a step ahead of Mr. Jiang and walked in first. It wasn't until Mr. Jiang closed the door and followed that she really showed a worried expression, and her words were filled with complaints and worries, "Look, you are always away from home.

,How are you so alienated from me, my dear, now?"

Mr. Jiang stroked his beard, glanced at Mrs. Jiang, opened his mouth to say something, then suppressed it and remained silent.

Mrs. Jiang walked up to Mr. Jiang with her hands folded and continued, "How hard do you think our dear baby is trying to get close to you?"

"I told you to take care of your family a long time ago. What is this family like now?"

Mr. Jiang kept stroking his beard, and his brows gradually furrowed.

"I am doing this for this family." Mr. Jiang's tone was still calm, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction. "Although the Jiang family does business for the royal family, our branch is still on the sidelines, so we can only be more diligent.

"

"Without me running around, how can Jiang's house be full and well-fed with so many mouths?"

"Running around outside?" Mrs. Jiang sneered and said "hum", "Isn't it just running around? Otherwise, how could He Yiyi come out?"

"If you really want to take a concubine, will I stop you?"

"It's good for you, you want to go out to steal someone." Mrs. Jiang folded her arms, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she said happily, "If it hadn't been for that woman who wanted to enter Jiang's house and wanted to go crazy, so she strangled her outside the door.

He Yiyi, you scared my sweet baby, and he will definitely be more lively now."

She spoke coolly, "It's been so long since I've been back to the imperial capital. Is it possible that you have another sweetheart, and you don't want to come back when you stay in the gentle country?"

"I'll tell you the ugly story first. If you bring back some illegitimate child for me, I will never let them get even closer to the Jiang Mansion."

"Don't hurt my sweet baby again."

Mrs. Jiang's words were not strong, but they pierced Mr. Jiang's heart everywhere.

He pointed at Mrs. Jiang in annoyance, "What do you know, you woman? You are only thinking about the little things at home."

Mrs. Jiang didn't accept what she said, "Then tell me, what did you do?"

"You've always been diligent when going out, but you've never been there for so long."

She put her hands on her waist and said with great momentum, "I think you have a guilty conscience!"

"You!" Mr. Jiang stared at Mrs. Jiang for a long time with an expression that said, "A child cannot be taught." Finally he softened his attitude.

He came close to Mrs. Jiang and said in a good voice, "Madam, you really misunderstood me."

"I stayed there for so long this time because of an important matter."

Mrs. Jiang ignored him.

"Did you know?" He covered his mouth with the back of his hand, "The Ninth Prince who was hunted down a year ago fled to Guyu County."
