"Jingjing, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the green plum tea over for the old madam to taste.”Zhuang Huaijin saw that the old madam was in a good mood and quickly urged her.
Nalan Jingjing was also a scheming person. She replied and smiled sweetly at the old madam. She acted coquettishly," Old madam, please wait a moment. Jingjing will bring it up now and let the old madam taste it."”
"Alright, go ahead." Old Madam smiled as she watched Nalan Jingjing slowly leave. Zhuang Huaijin took the opportunity to walk up to the old madam.
"Old Madam, two days ago, daughter-in-law found out that Old Madam was coming back today. Knowing that Eldest Miss was concerned about Old Madam, I immediately informed Eldest Miss. At that time, I even heard Eldest Miss say that when Old Madam returned, she would definitely give Old Madam a surprise. Hehe, I said that I wanted to take a look in advance, but Eldest Miss did not agree. Young miss, now that the old madam has arrived, can you let me have a look?”Zhuang Huaijin's smile was virtuous and virtuous, making people believe her words.
When the old madam heard Zhuang Huaijin's words, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Nalan Youyou with a bright gaze." Youyou, what gift did you prepare for me?"”As he spoke, he stared at Nalan Youyou like a child begging for candy.
Nalan Jingjing walked in with a cup of tea and happened to see this scene. A hint of surprise and hatred flashed across her eyes. "Old Madam, please have a taste." Nalan Jingjing served the tea to the old madam and smiled sweetly.
The old madam did not even look at Nalan Jingjing and casually said," Leave it for now."”Then, he stared at Nalan Youyou to see what kind of surprise she could give him.
Nalan Jingjing gritted her teeth and endured it, not letting her grievances and hatred show.
Nalan Youyou looked at the old lady's child-like appearance and could not help but smile happily. She looked at the old lady and said," Grandma, ever since I found out that Grandma was coming back, I've been preparing gifts for her.”Nalan Youyou smiled mischievously.
Nalan Youyou looked at Zhuang Huaijin and smiled provocatively. She turned around and looked at the old madam gently. She instructed," Yuejun, go and bring out the gift I prepared for Grandma."”
"Yes."
"Grandma, please wait a moment." Nalan Youyou looked at the old madam and said.
The old madam smiled happily and said," Alright, alright, alright. I'll wait for a while and see what kind of gift Youyou has prepared for me."”
Nalan Jingjing and Zhuang Huaijin were left out in the cold. Their faces were filled with resentment, but they were helpless. If it was someone else, they could still get back at her. However, in front of the old madam, they could only fawn over her.
"Old Furen, please taste it. If it gets cold, the taste will be a little worse.”Nalan Jingjing once again brought the tea to the old madam. The old madam waved her hand.
"Leave it there. I'll drink it later.”
Helpless, Nalan Jingjing could only retreat with hatred. She stood at the side and stared at Nalan Youyou, as if she wanted to swallow her alive.
Nalan Youyou felt it and smiled coldly. She turned her head around and told the old lady to calm down.
A moment later, Yuejun walked in with a plate and brought it to Nalan Youyou." Miss, I've brought it over."”Nalan Youyou took the small wooden box from the tray and smiled sweetly.
"Grandma, this is a gift that I prepared for you. Please open it and take a look.”Nalan Youyou elegantly raised the box in front of the old lady and asked her to open it.
The old lady looked at the small box expectantly. Under Nalan Youyou's signal, she opened the box. He saw a beautiful and exquisite white jade Buddha lying quietly in the box.
The old madam's eyes widened. This jade was the rarest Spiritual White Jade in the entire Celestial Empire! The old madam's kind look disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by greed and excitement.
Nalan Youyou felt warm in her heart when she saw the change in the old madam's expression. Nalan Youyou knew that the old madam believed in Buddhism, so it was best to give something related to Buddhism. Moreover, the old madam was especially fond of money. If she gave something worthless, the old madam would not even look at it.
For example, compared to Nalan Jingjing's tea, the old madam did not even look at Nalan Jingjing's tea.
The old madam's hands trembled as she carefully took out the jade Buddha, afraid that she would shatter it. "This, this, this is actually Spirit White Jade!？! The rarest Spiritual White Jade in our dynasty!" Towards the end, the old madam's voice became a little strange because of her excitement.
When Nalan Youyou saw this, she smiled and said sweetly," This Buddha is fated with Grandma. It should naturally be obtained by Grandma."”
Nalan Youyou's words made the old madam's heart bloom with joy. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Zhuang Huaijin and Nalan Jingjing, who were standing at the side, also looked at the jade Buddha in the old madam's hand in shock. The shock in their hearts made Zhuang Huaijin unable to find her voice.
This Spirit White Jade was quite rare. It was not wrong to say that this item should only exist in the sky.
However, where did Nalan Youyou get this rare jade Buddha? Zhuang Huaijin kept pondering in her heart.
Nalan Jingjing looked at the old madam's lovable expression and was so angry that she twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand with a face full of hatred.
When Zhuang Huaijin saw this, her heart skipped a beat. She took a step forward and stood in front of the old madam. She smiled fawningly and said," Old madam, you're really blessed to be able to obtain such a rare jade Buddha." He really didn't know where the young miss had managed to invite this jade Buddha.”
Zhuang Huaijin's words were very beautiful. She did not directly ask where this thing came from, but asked tactfully.
The old madam was not a fool. Zhuang Huaijin's words immediately reminded her that this Spirit White Jade was rather rare. Now, Nalan Youyou was still an unmarried little girl. How could she have such a rare thing?!
"Youyou, tell Grandma how you got this thing.”After figuring out the relationship between them, he kept playing with the jade Buddha in his hand and asked with a worried expression.
Nalan Youyou saw that the old madam had been staring at the jade Buddha with a reluctant expression. She knew that the old madam was afraid that this thing would fly away again.
"Grandma, don't worry. I went out a few days ago and went to Mingyou Mountain outside the city to ask for this.”Nalan Youyou said.
In her previous life, she had actually had this jade Buddha. It was a gift from an eminent monk on Mingyou Mountain. However, in her previous life, she had given it to Beiming Ye.
The old madam immediately felt relieved when she mentioned Mingyou Mountain. Mingyou Mountain was the most famous place nearby. There was a temple on the mountain that was not considered good, but there was an eminent monk inside. Legend had it that this eminent monk could know the past and the future. Moreover, he was very effective, so many people went there in hopes of meeting him.
However, that senior monk came and went without a trace, and very few people could see him.
But now, Nalan Youyou had encountered it. Such luck was really rare.
"Did Young Miss see the eminent monk?" Zhuang Huaijin asked in surprise.
"Not bad." Nalan Youyou straightened her body and nodded calmly." My luck is pretty good. When I went, I happened to meet an eminent monk. The eminent monk said that I have an affinity with Buddha, so he gave me this jade Buddha.”
"Phew, so it's a gift from an eminent monk.”Zhuang Huaijin gritted her teeth in hatred when she mentioned bad luck. Nalan Youyou must have some kind of luck. How did she meet Nalan Youyou, who she had never met before?
The old madam didn't care so much. Now that the jade Buddha was in her hands, her heart was at ease. "Today, I am tired. You all can leave. I will go back and rest.”As she spoke, Old Furen's expression became serious. She rubbed her forehead and made a tired appearance as she spoke.
Nalan Youyou understood and said," In that case, Mother Lin, I'll have to trouble Mother Lin to send Grandma back to Jin Garden."”
Mother Lin bowed." I understand."”As he spoke, he supported the old madam. Under everyone's respectful escort, he happily hugged the jade Buddha and returned to Jin Garden.
Nalan Jingjing looked at the green plum tea that was placed at the side without even looking at it. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Humph!" With a cold snort, he turned around and left in a huff.
Zhuang Huaijin gave Nalan Youyou a meaningful look before turning around and leaving.
"Miss, let's go back too." Yuejun stepped forward and helped Nalan Youyou away. Nalan Youyou nodded. Zhuang Huaijin's gaze just now had always made her feel insecure. What was Zhuang Huaijin thinking?
The old madam had just returned to Jin Garden. Before her butt could even warm up, the servant girl outside came up to report," Old madam, the second madam requests an audience."”
"Oh? What is she doing here?" The old madam looked at Mother Lin in confusion.
"Perhaps there's something important that can't be said in front of everyone, so he's talking to Old Furen alone.”Mother Lin said.
"Yes." The old madam put away her displeasure and said," Let her in."”
Zhuang Huaijin entered Jin Garden and knelt in front of Old Madam." Wife pays her respects to Old Madam."”
The old madam looked at the well-behaved Second Madam and could not help but frown. She had just had the time to take a look at her jade Buddha, but Zhuang Huaijin was so ignorant. However, when he thought that it might be something important, he put away the displeasure on his face and asked,
"Wife, tell me, why are you here?”The old madam's eyes were glued to the jade Buddha, unwilling to leave even for a moment.
Zhuang Huaijin looked at how much the old madam cared about the jade Buddha. Would she be able to sue him today? Zhuang Huaijin was starting to regret her decision. If she had known earlier, she would not have come.
Forget it, since he was already here, it was not bad to have some gossip. Thinking of this, Zhuang Huaijin felt relieved. She knelt down and said," Old Madam, my wife is only here to report the situation during this period of time.”
"You can handle these situations well. There's no need to tell me.”The old madam said unhappily.
Zhuang Huaijin did not seem to notice the old madam's displeasure and continued," Old madam, during this period of time, Eldest Miss's personality has changed greatly. She has even disregarded the Nalan family's reputation and reprimanded Jingjing in front of many young ladies, causing the Nalan family to lose face.”#
