Bai Dalin bowed quickly, "I understand, I only hope to satisfy Miss, I dare not ask for any reward from Miss!"
Seeing how sensible Bai Dalin was, Cui'er was even more satisfied. She walked away with graceful bearing, and Bai Dalin quickly followed after her, looking at Cui'er's back with great admiration.
The women in wealthy families are different; even a maid is better off than the people in their village.
Cui'er led Bai Dalin into the main hall, then said to him, "Wait a moment, I'll call the young lady over right away," and left.
Bai Dalin was left alone in the main hall, looking around with increasing greed in his eyes! He originally thought the courtyard was already very nice, but the layout of the main hall was even better. Bai Dalin was a carpenter, so he naturally knew all kinds of wood. Tsk tsk, this table alone could buy several courtyards.
"Miss, it was that man who said he had beads!" Cui'er's voice came from behind. Bai Dalin quickly turned around and lowered his head, not daring to look anymore.
He understood the rules of wealthy families; outsiders were not allowed to stare at the women inside the household.
Bai Dalin, who had lowered his head, only smelled a fragrant aroma and saw a pair of white shoes stop in front of him. Then he heard a voice say, "Raise your head."
Bai Dalin quickly raised his head and saw a woman in blue standing in front of him, even more beautiful than Cui'er. He immediately realized that this must be Lord Li's daughter, the elder sister of the young master he had saved.
Thinking that he had saved Miss Li's brother, Bai Dalin felt more confident. In a way, he was Miss Li's savior, so why was he nervous?
So Bai Dalin waited for Miss Li to ask him questions.
"So you have beads?" Li Jinyu looked Bai Dalin up and down, feeling very puzzled. Why did another person like this come today? He looked just like the village girl who came yesterday. He was just as rustic and poor. Why did this treasure always end up in the hands of poor people?
Bai Dalin quickly replied, "Yes, Miss, I have beads!" This Miss Li was not only beautiful, but her voice was also much nicer than Cui'er's.
"Where is it? Take it out and let me see!" Li Jinyu had the same idea as Cui'er. If this bead really satisfied her, then she would reward this person handsomely!
Bai Dalin quickly took the pebbles out of his pocket. After holding them in his pocket for a long time, they were warm to the touch. The pebbles were yellow, black, and white, but there were no purple ones.
When Bai Dalin took out the pebbles and spread them out in front of Li Jinyu, Li Jinyu's face turned completely black.
Seeing that Li Jinyu's expression had changed, Bai Dalin, fearing that she would be angry, quickly explained, "Please forgive me, Miss. Because of the time constraints, we couldn't find the purple bead. But please rest assured, Miss, I will definitely help you find the purple bead! Now, I present you with beads of other colors. Please accept them!"
As Bai Dalin spoke, he was anxiously thinking to himself, "I've already found beads of other colors for Li Jinyu. Even if there aren't any purple beads, Li Jinyu shouldn't be that angry, right?"
But before Bai Dalin could finish his thought, he saw Cui'er angrily shout, "You lowly commoner, how dare you try to fool our young lady with stones? Do you think our young lady doesn't know what's good for her?"
"Never mind, Cui'er..." Li Jinyu said calmly, "Let him go!" Not seeing the bead she wanted, Li Jinyu wasn't particularly angry. She had already gotten what she wanted yesterday, so her expectations were greatly reduced. She thought to herself, how could such a treasure be everywhere? If it were everywhere, she would have found it long ago. Why bother competing with Zhang Jingwen?
Seeing that he had been found out, but not knowing what Bai Dalin was thinking, when he heard Cui'er say that, Bai Dalin subconsciously retorted. Seeing that Li Jinyu was about to leave, he quickly blocked her way, "No, Miss, this really is a bead. Haven't you always wanted this kind of bead? I've found it for you!"
Li Jinyu frowned at him and said strangely, "You're such a strange person. I've already said this is a stone, not the bead I want. Why do you insist that it is? Look, do you see this? This is the kind I want!"
Li Jinyu stretched out her hand, and the purple and white bracelet she had been wearing had never been taken off.
Bai Dalin was furious when he saw the bracelet. Wasn't this the bead that little bitch Bai Nuo had given him? How did it end up here? Did that little bitch find out about this and then offer the bead to Li Jinyu?
That scoundrel! He asked and searched so many times, but she wouldn't give it to him. Turns out she secretly took it to do him a favor. If that scoundrel had given it to him, he might have received a reward from Li Jinyu. Why did she have to use a stone to make up the difference?
While cursing Bai Nuo as a little bitch in his heart, Bai Dalin accidentally uttered the words aloud, "Bitch!"
Li Jinyu thought Bai Dalin was insulting her, and flew into a rage, immediately withdrawing her hand. "Who are you calling a bitch?"
Seeing that Li Jinyu was angry, Bai Dalin didn't dare to linger, but still forced himself to explain, "Miss, you misunderstood. I didn't curse anyone. There's still a lot of work to do in the manor, so I'll take my leave now!"
He turned to leave, but Li Jinyu quickly stopped him. "Wait, are you a servant in this mansion? What's your name?"
Seeing that Li Jinyu was so persistent, Bai Dalin cursed himself for not being able to control himself, but he dared not not answer Li Jinyu's question, so he could only say, "I am Bai Dalin, the carpenter of the manor!"
"Bai Dalin?" Li Jinyu read the name aloud, then turned to Cui'er and asked, "Cui'er, didn't I tell him to leave? Why is he still here today?"
“Yes, Miss, we already said that yesterday!” Cui’er affirmed Li Jinyu’s words, then stood next to Bai Dalin and scolded, “What’s wrong with you? We already told you yesterday that you didn’t need to come to work, why are you still here today? Don’t you take our young lady’s words seriously? Get out of here, get out of here right now!”
He pushed and cursed Bai Dalin out of the way.
"No, Miss, what did I do wrong? Why don't you want me anymore?" Bai Dalin really didn't understand why this had turned into a discussion about his work. As a grown man, he had to get to the bottom of it, so he stood still. Cui'er, being a young lady, couldn't be moved. She immediately flew into a rage and yelled at the cleaning women, "Are you all dead? Can't you see that Miss doesn't want to see this person? Get him out of here right now!"
The old women sweeping the floor dared not watch the commotion any longer. They quickly put down their brooms and, one pushing and the other pulling, dragged Bai Dalin to the side gate of the magistrate's mansion.
Cui'er followed closely behind, ordered the gatekeeper to open the door, then shoved Bai Dalin hard and said fiercely, "Get out of here right now!" She then ordered the two gatekeepers, "Don't let this man into our mansion. If you see him near the government office, beat him out with sticks!"
