"This Duke…Young Lady will never change her name! Northern Nuo language." The woman raised her head and changed her words at the last minute. Nalan Youyou was stunned. She glanced at the woman who called herself Bei Nuoyu. There doesn't seem to be anyone with the surname Bei in our dynasty. If there really was someone with the surname Bei, then it could only be the Beiming family.
If it was the Beiming family, then who was this woman? What does it have to do with the Beiming family?
A question arose in Nalan Youyou's mind. Northern Nuo language, Nuo language. This name was quite familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
Nalan Youyou shook off the thoughts in her mind and smiled. She picked up a fragment and looked at it. She said slowly," This is ice jade. It is cool and cold. It is a high-grade ice jade and is worth three taels of gold.”
Three taels of gold was only a year's allowance for her and Nalan Jingjing. It was enough for a well-off family to use for ten years.
Hearing Nalan Youyou's words, Nalan Jingjing's face turned pale. She weakly took a step back. Fortunately, Luo Yin caught her in time. Otherwise, she would have inevitably fallen to the ground and been injured.
"This, big sister, you have to stand up for little sister. Although little sister broke your beloved jade bracelet when she was young, it's related to little sister's reputation now.”Nalan Jingjing leaned weakly into Luo Yin's arms and looked at Nalan Youyou pleadingly.
Her words successfully attracted everyone's attention to Nalan Youyou. Now, if Nalan Youyou did not speak up for Nalan Jingjing, it would be her sister who would take revenge. Nalan Jingjing, you're really good at scheming.
Nalan Youyou sneered in her heart. Even now, she still did not forget to pull herself into her camp.
"Younger Sister must be joking. Younger Sister didn't break any of my bracelets, so don't spout nonsense. If someone with ill intentions heard this, they would say that the Nalan family's rules were not strict and that there was internal strife.”
Nalan Youyou's lips curled up, and her smile was gentle and graceful. This smile directly made people ignore the rumors that Nalan Jingjing had just said about breaking the bracelet to take revenge.
"Sister, how can you say that?”Nalan Jingjing's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Nalan Youyou with eyes filled with disbelief. It seemed that Nalan Youyou had really underestimated her. If it was in the past, she would not have said such reasonable words. Now, she actually said such a sentence and immediately diverted all the attention away. She even bluntly said that she had slandered her.
That was true. Nalan Youyou was no longer the weak Nalan Youyou from before. It seemed that it was not a good idea to drag her into this in a moment of anxiety.
Nalan Youyou was unmoved. She looked at the fragments on the ground and fell into deep thought.
Bei Nuoyu looked at the two of them strangely. They seemed to be the two young ladies of the Nalan family, but it seemed like there was some conflict between them.
"Everyone, please take a look." Nalan Youyou spoke and waved her hand to get everyone to retreat. She pointed at the fragments on the ground for everyone to see," This thing, when it's broken, it will form an arc on the ground, and this arc will scatter according to where it falls. If the jade fell from the east, it would extend to the west. If it fell from the west, it would extend to the east.”
As Nalan Youyou said this, she circled around Bei Nuoyu and Nalan Jingjing. Nalan Jingjing's face turned pale as she retreated guiltily.
"Don't move. All of you, stand still." When Nalan Youyou saw this, her slender and boneless hand gently placed on Nalan Youyou's shoulder as she warned softly.
Nalan Jingjing was stunned and stopped in her tracks, not daring to move.
Nalan Youyou smiled when she saw this. Nalan Jingjing's face was pale, and she held Luo Yin's hand tightly. Her joints had turned pale from the force. Luo Yin stood behind Nalan Jingjing and held onto Nalan Jingjing tightly, afraid that Nalan Jingjing would fall to the ground if she let go.
"Everyone, look." Nalan Youyou found a corner to stand still and pointed at the fragments on the ground." Looking at the position where the jade fell, it should have fallen from here."”Nalan Youyou pointed at Nalan Jingjing.
"The fragments are falling in the direction of Miss Bei.”Nalan Youyou continued," So, Jingjing, you should be the one who broke the jade.”
"Sister, I didn't. How can you accuse me?”Nalan Jingjing looked at Nalan Youyou in disbelief. She cried even more tearfully, making one's heart ache.
"Whether I've wronged you or not, you only need to see if your hand is injured.”Nalan Youyou knew that based on this reason alone, Nalan Jingjing would not be able to get her to admit it with her deliberately acting weak. Therefore, when she saw the fragment on the ground, she did not take it out directly but hid it instead.
He only took out the fragment now.
When Nalan Jingjing saw this, her face turned even paler. Her body swayed. If Luo Yin was not supporting her from behind, she definitely would not have been able to stand.
"Take it out. What are you waiting for?”Bei Nuo Yu's confidence was instantly boosted when she heard that. She looked at Nalan Jingjing and stared at her arrogantly. Nalan Jingjing had to give an explanation today. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to leave today.
"Miss Bei, my younger sister accidentally injured Miss Bei's jade. As her elder sister, I naturally have the responsibility.”Nalan Youyou saw that everyone in Bright Jade Pavilion was looking at Nalan Youyou. She naturally knew that sometimes, she had to give face.
Nalan Youyou bowed slightly to Bei Nuoyu to express her apology. He turned his head and gestured for Yuejun to take out the money and give it to the boss of Mingyu Xuan.
Seeing Nalan Youyou being so tactful, the boss smiled and accepted the gold. However, he only accepted two taels and did not take the rest. Seeing this, Yuejun did not delay. If she took out three taels of gold, Nalan Youyou would lose her monthly salary for a year. She still had some money.
Bei Nuo Yu looked at Nalan Jingjing, whose face was as white as a sheet of paper, and sneered." You actually broke something yourself and slandered me. You deserve to die!"”
Bei Nuo Yu pointed at Nalan Jingjing and said angrily. Nalan Youyou knew that Bei Nuoyu must be angry. Moreover, Bei Nuoyu had an unclear relationship with the royal family, so she could not offend her here. She quickly said," Miss Bei, my sister is still young and doesn't know any better. Please don't blame her."”
"Hmph, if you say don't blame me, then don't blame me. Do you know what kind of person my young miss is? This is no place for you to speak!”Standing behind Bei Nuoyu, a girl arrogantly pointed at Nalan Youyou and scolded.
Nalan Youyou's face darkened. Just as she was about to speak, Bei Nuoyu spoke first." Xiaoqing, don't say it. This lady has good intentions."”
"It's good that Miss Bei understands." Nalan Youyou's expression relaxed a little as she smiled indifferently. "I wonder if this miss has time to go out and have some tea with me?”Bei Nuoyu looked at Nalan Youyou with a favorable impression of her.
When Nalan Jingjing saw this, she knew that she had lost face today. She turned around, pushed him away, and escaped. When Nalan Youyou saw this, her face darkened and she hurriedly said," You guys, follow Second Miss quickly. If anything happens to Second Miss, I'll hold you responsible!"”
The servant accepted the order and left with Nalan Jingjing.
"I wonder if this miss has time to go out and have a drink with me.”Miss Bei looked at Nalan Youyou and said.
"I have time." Nalan Youyou smiled and followed Bei Nuoyu to a teahouse. "May I know how I should address you, Miss?" Bei Nuo Yu asked.
"I am Nalan Youyou."
"Oh, that Nalan Youyou from the Nalan Residence?!”
"That's right." Nalan Youyou nodded." So Miss Bei knows about the Nalan Residence."”
"Of course I know about the Nalan Residence. Nalan Peiyi is our country's military minister.”Bei Nuoyu smiled faintly, as if there was nothing strange about it.
"Miss Bei, forgive me for being blunt, but in our dynasty, there doesn't seem to be anyone with the surname Bei. If you really want to calculate, then it can only be considered the imperial family's Beiming surname.”He looked around and saw that there were no spies around the private room. Even the two servant girls had gone out to open the door, so he did not care much when he spoke.
Bei Nuoyu was stunned. She looked at Nalan Youyou in surprise and smiled." I really didn't expect this. Miss Nalan has really impressed me."”He picked up the teacup and smiled, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Hehe, I'm just guessing.”Nalan Youyou also smiled. Seeing Bei Nuoyu's attitude, she knew that she was right. However, she did not know who Bei Nuoyu was.
"You are indeed not bad. However, I heard that the Eldest Young Miss of the Nalan family, which is you, is useless other than being beautiful.”Bei Nuoyu did not answer Nalan Youyou's question directly. She looked at Nalan Youyou and smiled like a little wild cat who had just stolen a fish.
Nalan Youyou only smiled. She knew that in her previous life, other than her beauty, she did not spread anything else. Thinking about it, she had always stayed at home and did not go out. Even if she went out, Nalan Jingjing was the one who won the first prize. She had never thought of fighting for it, but she did not expect her reputation to be like this.
"My name is Beiming Yu." Bei Nuoyu looked at Nalan Youyou, and her impression of Nalan Youyou increased by another level. She no longer hid her identity.
"Beiming Yu? The sixth princess?" Nalan Youyou was stunned and looked at Beiming Yu in disbelief. She had heard of the name Beiming Yu in her previous life. However, at that time, Beiming Yu had already married far away from the frontier and they had never met. She did not expect to meet unexpectedly in this life.
"That's right. It's this princess." Beiming Yu raised her head proudly, unable to conceal her noble aura.
"Nalan Youyou greets the sixth princess.”Nalan Youyou did not hesitate and quickly knelt down to pay her respects.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120184:05AM
