Intelligent and Protective Young Lady VS Gentle and Reserved Young Master.
Miss Hua Fushu, the eldest daughter of the Hua family, has a fiancé who is the legitimate son of the Grand General&...
He was about to ask more questions, but was stopped by Madam Ouyang who came in. In fact, she had been listening outside the house for quite a while, and was afraid that Ye Shiheng would continue to ask questions, so she came in to interrupt him.
Hua Fushu was at a loss for words when asked by this nosy father-in-law. Seeing Madam Ouyang come in, she smiled as if she had seen her savior, "Mother."
Although it was the first time that Hua Fushu called Madam Ouyang "mother", she did it smoothly, as if Madam Ouyang was her biological mother.
Madam Ouyang was slightly startled and smiled faintly. Hua Fushu didn't want to talk to Ye Shiheng, so he stood up and took Madam Ouyang's arm, saying that he had something good to show her.
Watching the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leave, Ye Shiheng shrugged.
The cart of things Hua Fushu had bought had been unloaded. After Sanqiao had counted them one by one, Wujing followed Sanqiao's instructions and delivered the things to the various courtyards. However, Sanqiao refused to let her deliver the items to Feiyuan. Wujing specifically asked about this, and Sanqiao smiled and said, "Our girl wants to deliver it to Feiyuan herself."
Hearing Sanqiao's name, Wujing said, "The young lady has married into the Ye family, but Miss Sanqiao hasn't changed her name yet."
Sanqiao replied, "I'll change my words when the young lady asks me to. I'm afraid she won't be happy if I change them now."
Wujing looks honest, but he is actually very smart. How could he not understand the meaning behind Sanqiao's words? He knew how much Hua Fushu resisted the marriage that day.
Sanqiao's tone softened, unlike the anger she had a month ago. It seemed that the relationship between Hua Fushu and Ye Zelin had changed.
Of course, the things Hua Fushu bought included the servants in the mansion, and the Five Classics were distributed accordingly.
Hua Fushu gave Mrs. Ouyang a green jade bracelet of excellent quality, and Mrs. Ouyang happily accepted it.
But looking at the pear blossom and moon hairpin in Hua Fushu's hair, Madam Ouyang said with guilt: "You gave me such a valuable bracelet, but I gave you an old hairpin. Mother, mother——"
Hua Fushu smiled at Madam Ouyang's words and said, "The hairpin my mother gave me is a small gift, but it carries a lot of sentiment. Your father-in-law made the Pear Blossom Melting Moon, named after your maiden name and the pear blossoms you loved. It was a token of love your father-in-law gave you, but you didn't wear it yourself, didn't give it to your sister-in-law Ruhuan, and didn't give it to your sister-in-law Gudu, but only gave it to me. The hairpin may be small, but it means a lot, and Huaer understands it."
Madam Ouyang seemed to have heard something fishy, and her eyes flashed with joy. "Hua'er, is there something going on between you and Zelin?"
When asked by Madam Ouyang, Hua Fushu blushed slightly and called out "mother" in a tender voice. Madam Ouyang did not stop asking.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while, and Hua Fushu wanted to go back to Penglai Residence. Madam Ouyang asked her maid Ayu to take her there. Hua Fushu did not refuse and went back to Penglai Residence with Ayu.
As soon as he entered the yard, Lizhi came to greet him. Hua Fushu looked at her for a long time before he remembered her name.
Lizhi said that Ye Zelin had already rested in the house. Hua Fushu went over and knocked on the door, but there was no sound.
She wanted to get angry, but Lizhi and Ayu were there, so she held back her anger, smiled, and left the yard to go to Fengquexuan to look for Dugu Lanxi.
Lizhi wanted to go with her, but she stopped him. Ayu went back to Rongliyuan to look for Madam Ouyang, and Lizhi could only stand in the yard in a daze.
At this time, Dugu Lanxi was looking at the account book sent by Zhuangzi below, with an abacus at hand.
The monthly wages for the servants in the mansion were just distributed two days ago, and I have been checking the account books sent by Zhuangzi these past two days. I really have no time to go to the door to receive Hua Fushu.
As soon as Hua Fushu entered the house, Gu Du Lanxi looked up and saw that it was her, so he stood up and came out to greet her.
Hua Fushu saw that she was wearing a wide-sleeved chiffon jacket with an open collar and a pattern of white magnolia flowers, a purple cross-collared top with white edges, a light pink long skirt wrapped around a deep blue skirt, and tied with a princess-colored silk ribbon. She looked radiant and dignified. She was indeed a lady of high family, and her whole demeanor was unmatched, even she felt inferior to her.
Gu Du Lan Xi smiled and said, "Second sister is back. I have been busy these days and have not been to Penglai Residence to greet you. I asked you to come and see me instead. I hope you won't blame me."
Hua Fushu said, "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? It's strange. I can't stay here any longer, so I came to see you."
Dugu Lanxi went to serve tea with a pomegranate branch, but was stopped by Hua Fushu, who said it was not needed.
Dugu Lanxi led Hua Fushu to sit aside and said, "I really like the jewelry and rouge you sent. As your sister-in-law, I have never given you anything, but you have given me so much, including some tea. I feel embarrassed to accept it."
Hua Fushu couldn't stand Dugu Lanxi being so polite to her, so she pretended to be unhappy. "Why are you so polite to me, sister-in-law? When I lived in the Ye family before I married Ye Zelin, sister-in-law took care of me in every way. Even with these things, sister-in-law still wants to be polite to me. Do you think I am your second sister?"
Ye Yunlu originally called this second sister Hua Fushu, and later, Dugu Lanxi also called her that.
Hearing this, Dugu Lanxi couldn't be polite to her anymore. The two sisters-in-law chatted for a while. Hua Fushu felt sleepy, so Dugu Lanxi asked Liuzhi to take Hua Fushu to the side room for a rest.
When Hua Fushu woke up, the sun was setting. Cuizhi, sent by Madam Ouyang, had just arrived at Fengquexuan and invited her and Dugu Lanxi to have dinner in the flower hall.
When they arrived at the flower hall, everyone was there except General Ye, Madam Xu, and Ye Songyan. Hua Fushu also knew a little about the discord between Ye Shiheng and his father, but it seemed a bit strange that the family was eating at two tables.
She knew that Madam Ouyang was the main reason for the discord between Ye Shiheng and his son, but Ye Zelin and Ye Songyan were both grandsons of General Ye. Why did General Ye only love Ye Songyan and hate Ye Zelin so much?
She secretly made up her mind to find out the reason behind this.
After dinner, everyone dispersed. Hua Fushu rested for a while before washing up. Wearing a plain white robe, he sat on the edge of the couch and wiped his wet hair with a long towel. Ye Zelin wiped his hands and turned around, "Call Sanqiao to help you wipe it together, it will dry faster."
"Qiao'er is tired too, I'll let her rest early." Hua Fushu's eyes rolled, "Ye Zelin, why don't you help me wipe it."
Ye Zelin was slightly startled, then displeased, "Are you kidding? Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Hua Fushu wasn't angry either. He smiled and said, "What's the big deal about men and women not being able to kiss each other? You've already kissed me and taken advantage of me so much, and you still say that men and women shouldn't be intimate! We're husband and wife, so what's wrong with asking you to wipe my hair? Or will it cost you a few pounds of flesh?"
Ye Zelin was a little embarrassed, then turned to her, "Sister Fushu, I just saved you the trouble and saved you from seeing more."
Hua Fushu laughed, "You used me as a pretext to chase away the peach blossoms you attracted, and you said it was for me. How dare you say that? It's me who suffered the loss anyway. I asked you to help but you refused. How can you return the favor for the loss I suffered?"
Ye Zelin didn't know that Hua Fushu was joking and took it seriously. However, he felt that Hua Fushu was so frivolous, even more frivolous than the girls in the brothels!
Was she raised in a boudoir or in a brothel?
He looked at Hua Fushu with contempt, then walked out with a wave of his sleeves.
Hua Fushu was slightly stunned. She had not expected Ye Zelin to have such a big reaction!
She was just joking, but Ye Zelin took it seriously.
As expected, he was brought up in a wealthy family. He is elegant and upright, and cannot joke at all.
