"Did you come here just to talk about this?”The old madam's expression darkened. She gently placed the jade Buddha in her hand to the side and asked coldly.
"Yes, daughter-in-law came this time to ask Old Furen how to deal with this matter. Youyou was the eldest daughter of the Nalan family. Her every move outside was related to the Nalan family's reputation. If the Nalan family's reputation was ruined, not only would it affect the Nalan family's daughter's marriage, but it would also affect the old master's career.”
Zhuang Huaijin's words were like a label that affected Nalan Peiyi.
When the old madam heard Zhuang Huaijin's words, she lowered her head and held the Spirit White Jade tightly in her hand. Her heart was constantly at war with herself.
Her son's career was important, but Nalan Youyou had just given her such a good piece of Spiritual White Jade. This made her hesitate.
"Did Jingjing do something wrong, so Youyou reprimanded her?”The old madam rolled her eyes and thought of a reason." If that's the case, you'll have to ask Jingjing first. What did she do wrong? Alright, I'm tired. You can leave."”
Zhuang Huaijin wanted to open her mouth to defend Jingjing, but she was blocked by the old madam's barrage of questions.
Zhuang Huaijin looked up angrily and realized that the old madam had actually closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep!
Gritting his teeth, he helplessly kowtowed and turned to leave.
Zhuang Huaijin walked out of the garden. The old madam opened her eyes and greedily played with the spiritual white jade in her hand. Mother Lin looked at the greedy Matriarch and sighed slightly." Matriarch, are you not going to ask about what the Second Mistress said?”
"Ask? Ask what?" The old madam didn't even look at Mother Lin. Her disdainful tone made Mother Lin speechless." The matters of the Nalan Residence are what she should do as a daughter-in-law." As for Youyou, the eldest daughter of the Nalan family, she is sensible, sensible, and obedient. How could she be as rude as she said?”
"..." Mother Lin was speechless. This old lady was so protective of the Eldest Miss. It probably had something to do with this Spirit White Jade.
Nalan Youyou led Yuejun back to her own Pure Elegance Pavilion. Yuejun brought a cup of tea to Nalan Youyou and hesitantly bit her lip." Miss, that Spirit White Jade is a rare item. Why are you giving it away just like that?"”
"Look at what you're saying. She's my grandmother. As her granddaughter, what's wrong with me giving her some rare items? You little money-grubber, you can't bear to part with it?”Nalan Youyou laughed when she saw Yuejun's pained expression. She tapped Yuejun's nose.
Yuejun's face twisted as she pushed Nalan Youyou's hand away unhappily and complained," Miss, you know that the senior monk said that you must wear that thing close to your body. Otherwise, accidents will happen. Miss, why are you so disobedient?"”
"Hehe, it's fine. If the heavens really wanted to take me in, they would have done so long ago.”Nalan Youyou did not finish her sentence. Even if she did, Yuejun would not believe her.
"Hmph, Miss." Yuejun pouted and stomped her feet as she ran out angrily.
Nalan Youyou smiled even more happily when she saw how cute and worried Yuejun was.
"You're really willing to give up the Spirit White Jade just like that. It seems that the old madam is really important to you.”Beiming Zhe's gentle voice came from the beam.
Nalan Youyou raised her head and looked unhappily at a certain someone who was leisurely. She frowned." Why hasn't His Highness left yet?"”
"It's not dark yet. I'm afraid that I'll cause some trouble for Miss Nalan, so I haven't left yet.”Beiming Zhe had already recovered. He jumped lightly from the beam to Nalan Youyou's side and sat down.
He looked at Nalan Youyou and smiled. "Why, are you in such a hurry to chase me away?”Nalan Youyou nodded helplessly. She thought to herself, That's right. But if you don't leave, I can't do anything about it. Who asked you to be the Crown Prince?
Zhuang Huaijin returned to her courtyard with a body full of resentment.
"Pa!"
The moment Zhuang Huaijin entered the room, she grabbed a cup and smashed it into pieces. The commotion in the room alarmed Gui Momo. She walked in and saw the ground covered in debris. She was shocked." Madam, what happened to you?"”
"Yes! That old thing who only knows money!" Zhuang Huaijin cursed angrily. Her eyes shone with hatred, and her face turned green with anger.
"Aiyo, my wife, you have to lower your voice. If someone were to let it pass and it reaches the old madam's ears, it would be terrible.”Gui Momo was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward and stomped her feet to remind him.
"Humph! What can't I say in my own courtyard?”Her phoenix eyes were deep and serene, like a well that had not been used for thousands of years and had eaten countless people. With a cold glance, Gui Momo shivered.
She retreated to the side and saw how angry Madam was. She asked carefully," Why is Madam so angry?"”
"Why else? That old thing only has money in his eyes. He doesn't care about anything else. I've already mentioned his son's career, but he's still unmoved! I really don't know what sin I committed in my previous life to actually marry into such a family! I was the daughter of the Zhuang family back then, but I actually came here to be the second wife! He's really full!" The resentment he had accumulated for many years could not help but erupt at this moment. He kept criticizing the old madam.
"Mother, be careful that the walls have ears!"
Nalan Jingjing's expression darkened slightly. She ordered the servants to leave and warned them not to go out and speak nonsense. When she walked in, she saw Zhuang Huaijin's charming face filled with anger. She quickly comforted her," Mother, what exactly happened?" You actually angered mother to this extent."
"Hmph, it's still that Nalan Youyou and that old thing at home.”In front of Nalan Jingjing, Zhuang Huaijin did not need to pretend and shouted at Nalan Jingjing.
"Is it because that old thing is unwilling to help us deal with Nalan Youyou?”
When she heard Zhuang Huaijin say this, she knew that all of Zhuang Huaijin's efforts today were in vain. Today, in the hall, she saw how precious the old thing was to Nalan Youyou's jade Buddha. She knew in her heart that this matter would definitely not go as she wished.
But no matter what, she was still very unhappy.
Nalan Jingjing's expression immediately darkened. Her gaze was as dark as water as she gritted her teeth and said," That old thing is really getting more and more muddle-headed as he gets older. He actually only knows about money! Mother, tomorrow, we'll go get some things for her and ask her to help us.”
"Hmph, you've thought it through. But as you can see, Nalan Youyou, that little b * tch, gave her a Spiritual White Jade. No matter what we give her now, it can't compare to her Jade Buddha. If they were to send it up, they would not be able to get it, but would instead lose countless money.”Zhuang Huaijin had thought it through clearly. If she sent things over now, wouldn't that be like beating a dog with meat buns and never returning?
No way, no way! I, Zhuang Huaijin, will not do such a losing deal!
Nalan Jingjing was stunned when she heard that. Zhuang Huaijin was right. If she rushed to deliver it now, it would definitely not be comparable to the jade Buddha given by Nalan Youyou.
"Then, Mother, what should we do now? He couldn't let Nalan Youyou live so freely.”Nalan Jingjing pursed her lips and glared at Zhuang Huaijin unhappily." Nalan Youyou, I won't let her have it easy!”
"Don't be anxious." Zhuang Huaijin said," Let me think of another way.”
Gui Momo was Zhuang Huaijin's nanny and had helped her do many things, so there was naturally no need to avoid her. Gui Momo thought for a moment and her eyes lit up. She said excitedly," Madam, I have an idea."”
"Oh? What do you mean?" The two of them looked at Gui Momo in surprise.
"It's like this. After a period of time, Old Master will come back from a business trip. At that time, Second Furen will whisper in Old Master's ears. Although we can't achieve our goal in one go, we can definitely make Nalan Youyou's impression on Master worse and worse. Then, we can find an opportunity to kill Nalan Youyou.”
Gui Momo was extremely pleased with herself. She had racked her brains to come up with this idea. Now, she was waiting for Zhuang Huaijin and Nalan Jingjing to praise her. After waiting for a long time, she realized that there was no movement at all.
"Father has always favored Nalan Youyou. How long will it take for him to talk to her?”Before Zhuang Huaijin could speak, Nalan Jingjing vetoed it!
"Not bad! This method was too slow! Besides, I've already used this method on that old geezer. It's not suitable for Nalan Peiyi.”Zhuang Huaijin sat down quietly and thought for a moment. A scheming look flashed across her eyes.
Nalan Jingjing looked at Zhuang Huaijin's expression and knew that she must have had an idea. He walked quickly to Zhuang Huaijin's side and asked," Mother, do you have an idea?”
Zhuang Huaijin sneered." Of course.”
"What idea?" Nalan Jingjing asked impatiently.
"In a few days, it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday.”Zhuang Huaijin's face flashed with viciousness." If we let Nalan Youyou have any problems at the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, we'll have to do something.”
"Even if Nalan Youyou had a hundred lives, she would have to sacrifice them.”Zhuang Huaijin did not say anything, but Nalan Jingjing continued," Haha, Mother, your idea is really great!”
"Humph, of course. The older the ginger, the spicier. Even if Nalan Youyou cultivated for another hundred years, she wouldn't be able to catch up.”Zhuang Huaijin smiled smugly. Her heavily made-up face flashed with a vicious light, like a venomous snake that was spitting out its tongue.
"Haha, mother is indeed amazing!" Nalan Jingjing was in a good mood. Sending Nalan Youyou to the Empress Dowager was much better than sending her to the old madam. If she sent her to the old madam, she would at most be locked up for a few days and reflect on her mistakes. However, if she sent Nalan Youyou to the Empress Dowager, she would definitely die.
Nalan Youyou didn't know that she was in extreme danger. She was lying leisurely in the middle of the courtyard, basking in the warm winter sun and reading a book.
"Miss, Old Madam has invited you over.”#
