Madam Hou's lips twitched. So the girl still remembered that there was a gold lock and a South Sea pearl on this necklace!
"Does the young lady still remember when was the last time she wore this necklace?"
Jiang Segu was stunned for a moment; how could she possibly remember that!
She could remember that this necklace had a gold lock and a South Sea pearl on it because in her previous life, someone gave her an identical necklace as a wedding gift.
The next day, when Mrs. Hou was sorting through the gifts, she found the necklace. Since it was unsigned, Mrs. Hou took it out and told her about it. At that time, Mrs. Hou said that the necklace was exactly the same as the one her grandmother had given her before, which was why she remembered it.
Seeing Jiang Segu's confused expression, Madam Hou understood.
"The last time the girl wore this necklace was when she was six years old, when she went to her uncle's house in Yuqian Lane."
According to those who went with her, the young lady had a quarrel with her uncle's daughters, and when she returned, Yingluo was in this state!
Now that you mention it, Jiang Segu seems to have some recollection of it!
The family of her father's first wife, Song, lived in Yuqian Lane.
That year during the Spring Festival, she went to the Song family to pay her respects. The arrogant people in the Song family openly and subtly mocked her mother, saying that her mother had used tricks to marry her father. She couldn't stand it and hit the haughty Song family girls.
Later, his mother made him stand in the corner as punishment.
Later, dissatisfied, she secretly slipped out of the Song family home and wandered aimlessly through the streets.
It seems that around that time, she encountered a little beggar being bullied by a group of people.
She felt that the little beggar's situation was somewhat similar to her own, so she took it upon herself to help him. As a result, both of them were beaten black and blue. When they parted, she gave the little beggar the gold lock and the South Sea pearl from her necklace.
Jiang Segu smiled faintly as he recalled his childhood self.
I wonder how that little beggar is doing now!
Such a thought flashed through Jiang Segu's mind for a moment, and then she came back to her senses and walked out of the warehouse.
“Mother Hou, you must go to Young Master Liang’s place yourself and make sure to take back everything I’ve given away over the years. Then send it to Huayangxuan for my brother! Whether he gives it away as a gift or keeps it for himself, just don’t bring it back and make it an eyesore!”
As for consumables such as writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, if he uses them, you should charge him 20% of the original price and collect the money back.
I'm not the kind of person who's greedy for cheap things. You know that Young Master Liang has given me a lot of food and flowers over the years, so just give me an estimate.
Most importantly, those purses and handkerchiefs I embroidered myself all have my name on them. No matter what excuse he gives, you must take them back and burn them!
She pondered for a moment, then instructed, "Go around the backyard, then go to Young Master Liang's place in the front yard, and have someone else guard the side gate!"
She didn't want to have anything to do with Liang Shaojie anymore!
A hint of surprise flashed in Madam Hou's eyes, but she quickly understood Jiang Segu's intention and left with her two maids in agreement.
Because of the special detour taken by Madam Hou, the news that Jiang Segu wanted to sever ties with Liang Shaojie and take back the things she had given to Liang Shaojie quickly spread throughout the Jiang family's inner quarters.
As a result, a girl wielding a leather whip rushed into Jiangse Valley's courtyard.
"Jiang Segu, come out here!"
A girl dressed in red, furious, approached Jiang Segu and pointed at her with a whip in her hand. "What exactly do you mean by this? Why are you making fun of Brother Shaojie like this?"
Jiang Segu looked at the girl in red with a leisurely air, "I know that Fifth Sister has long harbored feelings for Young Master Liang, but Fifth Sister is so eager to stand up for Young Master Liang and take the whip to her own sisters. This is not the behavior of an older sister!"
Jiang Zhihui, the fifth daughter of the Jiang family, blushed when her thoughts were exposed. Her eyes flickered, and she argued, "I just... I just felt that since Brother Shaojie is a guest in our house, your lack of manners is embarrassing Grandmother!"
Yes! That's exactly it!
Jiang Segu, do you even understand the art of hospitality?
Also, don't act like you're some kind of rule-abiding person! You used to sneak off to the front yard quite often, eagerly trying to get close to Brother Shaojie!
Besides, what kind of logic is it to ask for something back after giving it away!
You know perfectly well that Brother Shaojie lost his parents at a young age, and that his uncles and aunts are all ruthless and vicious people. That's why he came to seek refuge with Grandmother. Yet you are still so arrogant and unreasonable. Is this the behavior expected of my Marquis's mansion?
Jiang Segu looked at Jiang Zhihui, who had a righteous expression, and sneered, "So Fifth Sister knows that Young Master Liang came to seek refuge with Grandmother, not you!"
Before my grandmother could even reprimand me, my fifth sister jumped out in a hurry. Wasn't my fifth sister's overstepping her bounds embarrassing my grandmother?
Or does Fifth Sister think she's more qualified than Grandmother to stand up for Young Master Liang?
Jiang Zhihui was so angry that she choked, her hand holding the whip trembling, not knowing how to retaliate.
Seeing her so angry that she was panting heavily, Jiang Segu smiled gently, "Grandmother's birthday is in two months. Fifth Sister has come here to humbly learn from me. I don't have any ideas to offer, but seeing your sincerity, I'll give you a suggestion."
Fifth Sister knew that Grandmother liked to worship Buddha, so why didn't Fifth Sister embroider a single longevity character from a hundred longevity characters and make it into a screen to give to Grandmother?
This is an unprecedented embroidery technique! I racked my brains to come up with this ingenious method. Grandmother will be so happy when she sees it!
"At that time, if Fifth Sister makes a request, Grandmother might be pleased and grant it!"
Jiang Zhihui's mind was a little confused.
Although she had previously sent someone to inquire about what birthday gifts Jiang Segu had prepared, she clearly wasn't here for her grandmother's birthday...
