"Xing'er," Xie Xiulin was stunned for a moment.
Xing'er is Xie Xiuyun's maid.
Xing'er was arrogant and didn't even look at them. She reached out and handed them a box: "This is a reward from Miss Jiang."
"What is this?" Xie Xiulin opened the box and saw two oriental pearls in it.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she could hardly hide the surprise on her face.
Wan Ruo frowned slightly and refused: "I can't afford such a valuable thing."
"Just take it as a reward. What is a rare item to you is just a few pearls to Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang rewarded you out of respect for the eldest young master, and also gave two pearls to the fifth and sixth young ladies."
Wan Ruo was suspicious: "Since it was sent by Miss Jiang, why did you come to deliver it?"
Xing'er paused, then immediately raised her voice, "You guys are the ones who are running around. Sixth Miss accepted it for you and asked me to deliver it to you. You don't know how to understand people's hearts. If you don't want it, forget it!"
There seemed to be nothing wrong with this statement, but Wanruo still had some doubts. Besides, she didn't want to accept Jiang Xuejun's gift in the first place.
Wanruo shook her head: "In that case, let's leave it to Sixth Sister."
Xing'er's face changed slightly, but Xie Xiulin looked reluctant. She had always been oppressed and her life was very tight, so she had never seen Dongzhu like this before.
Xing Er yelled again, "Really? Then I'll take it. Don't act so noble now and beg for it with a shameless face!"
Xing Er was about to leave, but Xie Xiulin stopped her: "Wait!"
Xing'er stopped and looked up. Xie Xiulin whispered, "I want it."
Xing'er snorted coldly, took out a pearl from the box and handed it to her.
Xie Xiulin was overjoyed. He held it in his handkerchief and looked at it carefully.
Wanruo frowned slightly: "Xiulin..."
Xing Er asked again, "You really don't want it? Then I'll be fine."
Wanruo shook her head. Xing'er had no choice but to grit her teeth and turn away.
As soon as Xing'er said it, Xie Xiulin said, "Why don't you want it? Such a precious thing is hard to come by. Even if you don't like it, you can sell it. You can at least get a few hundred taels of silver!"
Wanruo pursed her lips and said, "I won't accept Miss Jiang's gift. Since you have accepted her gift, why don't you thank her in person first?"
Xie Xiulin carefully put the Dongzhu into her purse and nodded happily: "Yes."
Wanruo then pulled Xie Xiulin to find Jiang Xuejun.
But who would have thought that after taking only two steps, he was blocked by a group of people.
"Is this Miss Xu? Why are you sitting here with nothing to do? If you're bored, why don't you go on a boat trip with us?"
These young men fanned themselves, looked Wanruo up and down, and asked jokingly.
They had noticed Xu Wanruo in the water pavilion just now. Although she was dressed simply, she was obviously a beauty, so they kept an eye on her.
Wan Ruo said indifferently, "No need. I'm just taking a walk and will be gone soon."
"Hey, come on, what's the point of coming to Taiyuan Lake without a boat trip?"
The young man in a blue robe who was leading the group laughed jokingly.
Wanruo recognized him. This was Xiao Chi, the eldest son of the Yongchang Marquisate.
Last time, she designed a plan to beat Yuan Zhao half to death, but Yuan Zhao could only swallow his anger, because Yuan Zhao had indeed sneaked into the inner courtyard of the Xie family without permission, and he couldn't afford to offend the Xie family, so he could only swallow his anger.
I don't think the Yongchang Marquisate can swallow it.
Wanruo said coldly: "I'm not interested."
Xiao Chi sneered, "Hey, where did this wild cat come from? He's quite good at pretending to be noble. He came to this banquet just to get close to the rich and powerful. I gave you this opportunity, but you are so shameless."
