After saying that, Bai Yehua rode away, but Hua Zheng did not leave. She turned to face Shen Yu and said directly, "Madam, the lady asked me to go back with you."
Chen Yu remained silent and walked straight to the Bai family's carriage, her eyes lowered, not daring to look around carelessly, for fear of meeting Liu Yu's gaze.
Liu Yu held the hairpin, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "Thank you for saving me, Miss Chenyu."
Shen Yu stopped in her tracks, her eyes still lowered, but her heart was surging with excitement. When she opened her mouth, she was incoherent, "Young Master Liu is... here to return the hairpin? No need to be so polite."
"No, the hairpin has been soiled by Liu Yu, so it cannot be returned to Miss Chenyu. Once Liu Yu finds an identical hairpin, he will definitely buy it and return it to Miss Chenyu."
That's... a one-of-a-kind wooden hairpin, carved from three-thousand-year-old ginkgo wood. Where can you find one exactly like it?
Shen Yu couldn't help but shake her head, but then she saw a figure on the ground peering out at something.
Looking up, Hua Zheng glanced at the Bai family's sedan chair from time to time. A corner of the curtain was folded up. Could it be that someone was hiding inside the sedan chair and peeping?
Thinking that Liu Yao'er had gone through a miscarriage, which was an extremely urgent matter, Madam Bai should have sent a servant on horseback to report it. Why did she send Hua Zheng in a carriage? Madam Bai must have hidden in the sedan chair.
Madam Bai is cunning, mean, and fiercely protective of her son. If she knew that Bai Yehua and Liu Yu were still entangled because of a hairpin, she would definitely use the hairpin to cause trouble for Bai Yehua. She might even incite Bai Yehua to target Liu Yu. Bai Yehua is at the height of his power, while Liu Yu is... utterly defeated.
To quell the matter, she could only coldly order, "Cuiwei, bring back the hairpin and break it."
With a "snap," Cuiwei broke the hairpin in two and threw it away violently.
Liu Yu was heartbroken.
He personally put this hairpin on Chenyu's head on the night of Qixi Festival, treating the wooden hairpin as a token of their love! Even if Chenyu marries someone else, his feelings will not change.
To his surprise, what Chen Yu said next chilled him to the bone.
"Young Master Liu is being presumptuous. If anyone were human, Chen Yu would have come to their rescue."
Ha! Liu Yu sneered inwardly, intending to lower the curtain and leave, but he saw that the curtain of the carriage opposite him had been lifted up by a corner and then lowered again.
Why is the curtain swaying when everything is so calm? Unless someone is spying on us from inside the sedan chair.
