Chapter 217 Lin Mansion 12

reward?

Aunt Hua suddenly lost the mood to taste the mung bean soup.

Not only did she not notice Liu Fujun's joke in such a hot day, but she even gave him a reward?

It’s fine to reward her, but hearing Liu Fujun say it made her feel uncomfortable.

But even if she was reluctant, she had to give this reward today.

The master and the first lady have given gifts, so she can't just give nothing.

So Aunt Hua took off the filigree bracelet on her wrist and reluctantly handed it to the maid beside her.

She dressed herself up beautifully today in order to go out to watch the show. This bracelet is no ordinary item. It was given to her by her master this month. It is said to be the most popular style in Yangzhou at the moment.

Yun Chu looked at the bracelet on her hand and said it would be a lie to say she was unhappy. After all, she had only seen such a beautiful bracelet in a museum.

Aunt Hua met the eldest lady's eyes and seemed to see disdain in her eyes.

"We've almost finished the mung bean soup. Madam, why don't you let the thief come out for me? Although you're kind-hearted and didn't sell him out, it's really worrying to have such a scourge in the mansion."

Today, we must force that thief to come forward no matter what, so that everyone in the mansion can see how the usually dignified lady disciplines the maids around her.

Jingyue pursed her lips, feeling very annoyed with this concubine Hua. What did the affairs of their courtyard have to do with her? She was either flirting with the master or staring at their courtyard all day long.

"In reply to Aunt Hua, the servant has been assigned to the laundry room. Although she made a mistake, it was just a moment of confusion. It won't hurt to give her a chance.

And don't worry, Auntie. I have already told the laundry room's steward to keep a close eye on that person, and if he makes any small moves again, he will be sold without saying anything."

Aunt Hua stared at Jingyue for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Miss Jingyue beside the eldest lady is always sharp-tongued."

Jingyue bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your praise, Aunt Hua. I am ashamed to accept it."

After swallowing her anger, Aunt Hua spoke again: "By the way, why can't I see Miss Ding You beside Madam? She is always here to serve you closely, why is she suddenly gone today?"

Aunt Hua sneered in her heart, since you don’t tell me who the thief is, then I will just point out the name and see what you say this time.

At this moment, another person walked in from outside.

Aunt Bai suddenly appeared at the entrance of the main hall. She was wearing a water-blue dress with a pattern of auspicious birds and clouds embroidered on the hem.

As her steps swayed gently, the spirit bird seemed to be flying on auspicious clouds with a hint of fairy air.

Her hair was simple and elegant, gently tied up with just a jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair in front of her forehead danced lightly in the wind.

Her face was cold and her eyes were as deep as autumn water, revealing a sense of coolness.

Aunt Bai was not in a hurry to walk into the main hall, but stopped at the door. Her eyes slowly swept over everyone and finally stopped on Aunt Hua's face. She smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in that smile.

Then she slowly walked into the main hall, each step seemed so calm and unhurried, as if the whole world was under her control.

Aunt Bai walked up to the eldest lady, bent her knees slightly, folded her hands in front of her, and bowed respectfully.

Her manners were elegant and proper, and every detail revealed her good upbringing and dignified temperament.

But think about it, as the maidservant who came with the eldest lady's dowry, she and the lady grew up together, so she can't be that bad.

The eldest lady nodded slightly as a return gesture, with a satisfied smile on her face.

For her, this rescue came at the right time.

Then, this scene seemed extremely dazzling in Aunt Hua's eyes.

She curled her lips in disdain and sneered in her heart.

In her opinion, Bai Qingyin was just pretending. If she really wanted to be so respectful to Liu Fujun, she would not have climbed into the master's bed when she was pregnant.

The eldest lady raised her hand and said, "Come and sit down. Why are you here in such a hot day?"

Then she looked at Yun Chu again: "Bring another bowl of mung bean soup to help Aunt Bai cool down."

Yun Chu thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had brought enough mung bean soup this time, otherwise he would have to make another trip.

This trip was really worth it. I completed all three tasks. Now the only one left is Aunt An whom I haven't met yet.

Aunt Bai drank a mouthful of mung bean soup, and after a while she calmed down, she said softly: "A maid in my yard happened to see Sister Hua hurrying out on her way back from getting ice for me. I was wondering what could have happened to make Sister so anxious on such a hot day.

After thinking it over, I decided to come along and take a look, so that I can be taken care of if anything happens."

The eldest lady knew in her heart that there was no maid to fetch ice. She was afraid that Qingyin was deliberately placed there to keep an eye on Hua Qiaoniang.

"What can happen to me? You two must have come to my place on purpose to ask for mung bean soup."

Aunt Bai smiled softly, her voice gentle and peaceful: "Madam, your mung bean soup is sweet and delicious. It directly relieved me of most of the heat. Thank you for your hospitality."

As she spoke, she took off an emerald jade bracelet from her wrist and asked the maid beside her to pass it to Yun Chu.

"This is a bracelet I just got. It's not worth much, but it's clear in color. Thank you for your hard work in making mung bean soup and bringing it to me in the hot weather."

Yun Chu took the bracelet from the maid, bowed gracefully, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Thank you for the reward, Aunt Bai. The color of this jade bracelet is already very good to me. I like it very much."

Aunt Hua made a sound at the side. The broken jade bracelet was probably not even half the value of hers. Only a maid treated it as a treasure.

"Mrs. Bai has no children and doesn't have much to spend on a daily basis. How come she can't even afford a bracelet with a good water head?"

Faced with Aunt Hua's sarcasm, Aunt Bai was not angry, but smiled shyly.

"The master said that he likes my plain look. He likes me more than those butterflies who want to wear golden hairpins on their heads and all kinds of gorgeous clothes."

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Hua almost exploded. Wasn’t Bai Qingyin talking about her?

What is a butterfly? A bright and beautiful woman like her is more popular.

She is nothing like Bai Qingyin, who wears clothes that look as unlucky as if someone has died all day long.

She was about to choke back when Aunt Bai suddenly stood up and walked over to her.

"Sister Hua, it's not good for us to keep disturbing Madam here. Since there's nothing else to do, let's go back first."

Then he pulled her out.

Aunt Hua then realized that she hadn't embarrassed Liu Fujun yet, so how could she leave now?

But she was no match for Aunt Bai, and soon she was dragged out of the yard.
