Chapter 319 The Family is About to Be Ruined

Although there were only fifty pieces of gold foil, Hu Xin'er was unwilling to argue with them.

As the saying goes, don't beat a dog into a corner, otherwise it will become desperate and jump over the wall to bite people.

She said calmly, "It's okay if it's a little less. It's not a very valuable thing anyway."

Yun Qiu carefully looked around and grumbled softly, "I can't believe the Liu family seems so luxurious on the surface, but in reality, the Liu family's mistress is so stingy even when she gets a thousand taels of silver. She's even worse than our Lu family."

Hu Xiner took another sip of tea: "Apart from anything else, the Liu family's tea, calligraphy and paintings are still very high-end."

"They're just trying to be rich." Yun Qiu walked up behind Hu Xin'er and massaged her shoulders. "Liu Qingyi is the legitimate granddaughter of the Liu family, yet she's so unpresentable. Dabao seems to think we're here to steal her money, not knowing that our young lady is one of the wealthiest female businesswomen in the capital!"

Hu Xin'er couldn't help but laugh: "Girl, your mouth has become sweeter these days."

Yun Qiu smiled sweetly, "Young Madam, when are we going back to the Lu family? If you miss Old Master Liu and the others, you can invite them to live in the Lu Mansion later!"

Although she was Hu Xin'er's personal maid, she was only responsible for the internal affairs of the courtyard on weekdays. When Hu Xin'er was busy with other things, she would occasionally ask her to discuss with the housekeeper about managing the affairs of the Lu family.

As for the hatred and dispute between the Lu family and the prince, Yun Qiu did not know about it, because it was an extremely secretive matter and could lead to fatal disaster if one was not careful.

In fact, most of the servants in the Lu Mansion are like this.

Hu Xiner pursed her lips and suddenly felt a little emotional. She remembered that when she first came here, she was still that reckless and silly girl who couldn't hide things in her heart.

But now, he actually has a secret that even his closest confidants cannot tell.

In Yunqiu's mind, his young mistress was angry with the young master, and she missed her grandfather, so she ran to her mother's house.

But she felt that the young lady was not safe here, so she hoped that the young lady would return to the Lu Mansion as soon as possible.

Seeing Hu Xin'er remained silent, she smiled again and said, "Young Madam, you don't know that since you left, the servants of the Lu Mansion have been working even harder. They are hoping that you will see that they are obedient and sensible and will return quickly!"

Hu Xin'er muttered softly, "It's not that I don't want to go back, it's clearly your young master who wants to drive me away."

Yun Qiu heard that her words seemed to soften a little, and immediately smiled happily: "I will send a message out and persuade the old lady to scold the young master."

Hu Xiner imagined the scene of Mu Qing being scolded, and felt as if she had let out a sigh of relief. She smiled, put down the tea bowl, and walked to the desk.

The things that were compensated by the eldest wife were piled up next to the desk in front of the window. Hu Xiner picked up a piece of gold foil paper to use.

This gold foil paper is truly extraordinary. The strokes on it are as smooth as silk. Because there are fine pieces of gold foil pressed into the paper, it sparkles in the sun, making the painting even more extraordinary and otherworldly.

If Hu Xiner hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really couldn't have imagined that the ancient people here were so ingenious.

She was painting when there was a knock on the door and Chen's voice came: "Xin'er, are you there?"

Yun Qiu opened the door and bowed with a smile.

Seeing Hu Xin'er standing quietly in front of the window painting, Chen even slowed down her steps. When she quietly walked to the desk, Hu Xin'er had just carefully put down her brush.

The painting had already begun to take shape. Chen looked at it with a touch of sadness on her face. "Are you painting your mother again?"

"Aunt, can you tell me if my drawing looks like the real thing?" Hu Xiner shook her wrist and pulled her to sit down.

"Your painting skills are excellent." Chen said, but then sighed. "Your mother is a beauty, just like you."

Hu Xiner was slightly embarrassed. She looked exactly the same in this world as she did in her previous life. She knew whether she was pretty or not.

Yun Qiu agreed seriously, "Yes, my wife is very beautiful. She doesn't look like she came from a humble family."

Several question marks popped up in Hu Xiner's head.

In fact, she did have some misunderstandings about her appearance.

When she first came here, she was pale and thin, but after these days of nourishment, her complexion has become better and better. There is a bright and confident temperament between her eyebrows, which is really eye-catching.

She was not outstanding in modern times because cone-shaped faces, big eyes and Korean wave were popular at that time.

But in ancient times, her round face became a symbol of cuteness and good fortune, and her almond-shaped eyes were smart and cunning. With her hair in a bun and Hanfu, she looked like a dignified and bright young lady in ancient times.

Hu Xin'er didn't want to continue this kind of flattery, so she quickly changed the subject: "Aunt, what is my mother like?"

Chen fell into reminiscence. "When I first met her, it was at the wedding banquet when I got married. She was still married then, dressed in pink, bright and charming, like a fairy from heaven. But later, when she met people, she became so gloomy that she seemed like a completely different person..."

Hu Xin'er was a little confused: "Could it be that my mother and father don't have a good relationship?"

Chen shook her head and said no more, then asked, "The eldest old lady pawned her hairpin. Did you know about this?"

Hu Xin'er nodded: "Auntie, are you here to persuade me?"

Chen nodded. "They say a harmonious family brings prosperity. Now that you've vented your anger, don't go against them again. Besides, you're pregnant now, so you have to be careful."

Hu Xiner thought, she didn't want to cause trouble, but who asked the people over there to pick a fight?

However, she had heard that Lord Liu was going to separate from the family and thought it was Chen who instigated it, and thought she was very resourceful.

But judging from her behavior in the past few days, Chen is a gentle person.

She didn't want Chen to worry, but she also couldn't be a soft persimmon that could be bullied by the eldest wife, so she smiled and agreed: "Don't worry, aunt, I won't offend others unless they offend me. I won't take the initiative to cause trouble."

But if anyone offends her, she will repay him tenfold!

Chen looked at her and sighed, "You! In short, everything should be based on your health. You must never do something like that again. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me first."

Hu Xiner was somewhat moved. She had never expected that Chen, who disliked disputes so much, could actually do this for her.

On the other hand, Liu Yanchao ate abalone and bird's nest every day. Because Hu Xiner was pregnant, Chen would send her a portion every day.

Liu Yanchuo also liked this new cousin very much and gave her everything he had.

"Grandma, this is the warehouse account for the past few days, please take a look..." The old lady carefully sent the bill over.

The old lady counted on her fingers, almost breathless, and cried out in distress: "If this continues, they will ruin the whole family!"
