"Nonsense!" The third master of the Murong family roared, slamming his teacup loudly. The third wife had always been favored, and this seemed to be the first time the third master had spoken to her like this.
Murong Jing's hand couldn't help but pause, and the needle tip pricked her finger. A red bead of blood oozed out from her slender finger, which looked particularly glaring in contrast to her snow-white skin.
She put her finger in her mouth and gently sucked off the blood bead. When she was almost done, she put away the needle, took the embroidery frame and walked lightly to the window. Facing the light, she looked at the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the embroidery.
Her embroidery skills are good, but there is still a big gap compared to Sister Xian. However, compared to Helan Yue, she is much better than her.
The matters between the master and the mistress were not her business, and she would not intervene.
Anyway, the Third Wife is not her biological mother.
If he found out that she was eavesdropping, who knows how he would torture her in secret!
After the Third Wife gave birth to Murong Jin, she only had face for her, the original wife's daughter. She put on an ignorant face, but in fact her heart was as clear as a mirror.
Isn't it just a son? Let's see how long she can be so proud!
Although Murong Jing is a teenager, she actually holds a grudge.
Ever since her father remarried, she called him father to his face, but in her heart she only called him the Third Master. Naturally, she also called her stepmother the Third Madam. In front of others, she dropped the "Third" character.
Not long after "Daohuaxiang" opened, Helan Yue came home to talk about it, chirping like a little sparrow. The Third Madam also sent her maid to see it, and she also went there in person with Sister Xian.
At first, although the third wife was amazed and very envious and jealous, she did not dare to have any idea about taking over the shop.
After all, the Murong family has high hopes for my cousin, so they naturally won't try to seize his property.
The fact that the Third Wife, as the second wife, was able to quickly gain a foothold in the Murong family shows that she is not the kind of person who cannot be judged by her appearance.
However, there has been no news from my cousin for dozens of days.
The people sent to Kyoto couldn't contact him, and neither could they ask his servants. Even the powerful and influential circles in Kyoto were extremely reluctant to mention the name of my cousin.
The third wife had been coveting her cousin's shop for a long time. When she saw that her cousin was missing, she became interested in it.
But, she probably hasn't found a replacement yet.
If this was planned for a long time but fell into the hands of the aunt, the third wife would probably be vomiting to death.
Murong Jing thought unkindly, while looking at the color of the mandarin duck's feathers in the sunlight, she listened carefully to the increasingly excited quarrel between the third master and the third wife coming from next door.
This sound is very pleasant!
…
Doctor Xiao Hu and Linghua are buying New Year's goods.
Doctor Hu not only bought her own New Year's goods, but also asked Linghua to advise her on buying a New Year's gift for Xia Yujiao. However, several of Linghua's suggestions, such as food and rouge and powder, were rejected by Doctor Hu.
They were not afraid of the cold or being tired, and walked slowly on Liuxiang Street. Finally, Doctor Hu chose a jade hairpin. The jade was smooth and crystal clear, engraved with the pattern of snow-capped plum blossoms, inlaid with rubies as petals, and gold beads as the flower core. The flower core would tremble slightly when they walked, which was very delicate.
That day, the two of them went to the slum where the Xia family lived.
It happened that Xia Daohua and her servants were delivering New Year's goods to an elderly couple in the slum, and by chance she witnessed Doctor Hu taking out a brocade box and clumsily giving the gift to her aunt.
The old couple was very pleased, but the little aunt blushed and hid in the house shyly.
