Left alone in the room, Gu Li couldn't help but feel annoyed, rubbing her furrowed brows in frustration.
In his heart, Liuyin had always been gentle and shy; he had never seen her angry.
But Gu Li also understood that he had indeed made a mistake. He had failed to keep his promise, and it was understandable that Liu Yin was angry.
Raising her hand to gently touch her already swollen cheek, Gu Li felt a faint pain.
He had never known before that Liuyin was so strong.
*
As soon as Liuyin entered the courtyard, Caiqing came to greet her, "Miss, you're finally back."
Yesterday, when Liu Yin asked her about the location of the general's courtyard, she felt something was off.
Especially since Liuyin hadn't returned last night, it made her a little worried.
In fact, Caiqing could understand why Liuyin went to see Gu Li last night.
In her view, Liuyin is now living in the general's mansion as an orphan, and the general has yet to give her a formal title. Lately, she hasn't even been able to see her at all.
Therefore, it's normal for the girl to feel nervous.
Even the servants in the mansion have started gossiping lately, and Caiqing has even bumped into them several times by chance.
It's simply that the orphan girl the general brought back was of low status, and all she had was a pretty face, which the general didn't even like.
But she dared not refute it, because the situation in the general's mansion was becoming clear.
The old lady has always valued her cousin and wanted her to marry the general. And the cousin, in turn, considered herself the general's wife.
The general's attitude suggests...
To be honest, from the moment Gu Li brought Liu Yin back to the manor, anyone with eyes could see that he liked her.
Caiqing didn't understand why the general had changed so much in just a few days.
"Hmm." Liu Yin walked into the house with a cold face. On the way back, Liu Yin became angrier and angrier.
Gu Li actually dared to humiliate her like this.
Seeing the cold look on Liu Yin's face, Cai Qing didn't dare to say anything and silently followed behind Liu Yin.
Seeing Liuyin enter the room and close the door tightly, Caiqing's heart tightened. Could the girl's appearance be related to the general?
But then, she heard a crisp breaking sound coming from inside the house.
It turned out that Liu Yin was looking at the exquisite jewelry on the dressing table, all of which were gifts from Gu Li.
But now Liuyin felt disgusted by all of this and couldn't help but push all the jewelry to the ground.
Even the jade bracelet that Gu Li gave her as a token of their love was taken off by Liu Yin and smashed on the ground.
Only after hearing the sound of the jade bracelet breaking did Liuyin feel satisfied.
After calming herself down, Liuyin said, "Caiqing, have someone prepare water for me; I want to take a bath."
I was so focused on being angry that I forgot to clean the stickiness off my clothes.
"yes."
When Caiqing carefully pushed open the door, she found that there were only some scattered jewels on the ground.
Due to Liu Yin's forceful movements, many of them were damaged. Scattered jade and pearls lay scattered on the ground.
Caiqing looked at Liuyin with some surprise in her eyes. These items, while not exactly rare treasures, were all quite valuable.
Unexpectedly, this girl's life was ruined just like that.
"Girl, the water is ready."
Liu Yin looked at her face in the bronze mirror, admired her own beauty, and then frowned at the mess on the ground.
But it doesn't seem to concern her anymore. Anyway, she's leaving soon.
Thinking about it this way, Liuyin felt much better. "Let's clean up all these things on the ground."
"yes."
After taking a bath, Liu Yin prepared to leave the manor.
She really couldn't stand staying in this general's mansion for even a second longer!
However, Liuyin is considering whether to take Caiqing with her as well.
Caiqing is skilled in both makeup and cooking, and has been well taken care of these days.
Most importantly, he is honest and only knows how to keep his head down and do his own thing.
Liuyin has plenty of money, but if she is pregnant, she will need someone to take care of her.
In fact, Liuyin only had a brief moment to consider it.
After all, she had no reason to hesitate.
The process of Liuyin taking Caiqing out of the mansion was quite smooth; no one stopped them at all.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Liuyin headed straight for the most famous Liuli Pavilion in the capital.
Unhappiness still needs to be resolved by spending money.
Moreover, after smashing those jewelry pieces, Liuyin's head was completely empty, with only a white jade hairpin remaining.
Fortunately, 003 had prepared a lot of silver notes for her before leaving, otherwise she would have been penniless if she left the General's Mansion now.
Caiqing felt a pang of anxiety as she watched Liuyin stride toward the Liuli Pavilion.
She quickly grabbed Liuyin's sleeve and spoke to her through the curtain in a very low voice, "Miss, the things here are very expensive."
Although Caiqing had never been to this place before, she had heard about it from other people in the manor.
Many of Miss Biao's jewelry pieces were purchased here; they look exquisite, but are also very expensive.
A single hairpin costs over a thousand taels of silver. Caiqing had never seen so much money in her life; it was enough to buy hundreds of her.
"Don't worry, money is the last thing I lack," Liu Yin chuckled.
Putting everything else aside, at least the money 003 left behind is enough for her to live a life of comfort and ease in this world.
That's about all it's good for.
Seeing that Liuyin had already entered the Liuli Pavilion, Caiqing quickly followed, "Miss, wait for me."
A big customer has come to the store, and this has already alarmed the manager of Liuli Pavilion.
It was the young boy who stayed downstairs to greet the guests who came to tell the shopkeeper about this.
After all, Liuyin had so many things to buy, and they were all high-quality items.
However, she was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly, and the maid beside her was not a familiar face either.
They didn't look like the noble ladies who frequented the capital.
The manager is currently entertaining the shop owner, Mr. Qiao.
Upon hearing this, she quickly dismissed the boy who came to report, "Young Master, something has happened downstairs, why don't you let me go and take a look first?"
He spoke with a pleading expression and a slightly weary tone.
After all, the person in charge was quite old and couldn't keep up with the thoughts of these young men.
If it were just about discussing shop matters with him, that would be fine. But Young Master Qiao is no ordinary person.
Every time he came, he would ask the shopkeeper some difficult questions that the shopkeeper couldn't answer. For example, embarrassing incidents involving some people in the capital recently, or which gambling den outside was the most profitable...
Qiao Xuanwen disliked these tedious matters, but his mother insisted that he come once a month to check on the shop's situation.
According to Qiao Xuanwen, what could possibly happen? He just made a lot of money, right? He'd be better off watching cricket fights instead!
Upon hearing the butler's words, Qiao Xuanwen became interested.
"I'll go down and take a look too."
Something happened? Perfect, he's bored anyway.
