"Second Madam, the old lady is here." Wenxiu came in to report.
Gu Yunran put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet him.
"grandmother!"
"Hey, get up quickly." Madam Mu reached out to support Gu Yunran, "You don't have to bow to me since you're so obviously pregnant."
"Come on, sit down."
Madam Mu took Gu Yunran's hand and walked inside. Mu Qianjiao bowed softly to Gu Yunran: "Hello, second sister-in-law!"
"Jiaojiao is here too?" Gu Yunran instructed Zhuye, "Go serve tea."
"yes."
"Grandma, please sit down." Gu Yunran asked Madam Mu to sit in the main seat.
Zhuye brought the boiled tea.
"Madam, please have some tea, Miss Four."
After pouring the tea, Zhuye quietly stepped aside.
Madam Mu and Gu Yunran exchanged a few pleasantries. Mu Qianjiao couldn't wait any longer and said, "Second sister-in-law, Jiaojiao lost her jade pendant when she came to your place yesterday. That jade pendant is not an ordinary jade pendant. It was a gift from my grandmother for Jiaojiao's first birthday. I have always treasured it and carried it with me, so..."
Mu Qianjiao was interrupted by Gu Yunran before she could finish her words. She thought to herself that she had finally arrived, but said calmly, "I'll ask Saxue's maid."
"Zhuye, go call Wenxiu over."
" yes."
Zhuye turned around and went out, bringing in Wenxiu, the watering girl.
Gu Yunran asked, "Wenxiu, when you were cleaning yesterday, did you see the fourth young lady's jade pendant?"
Wenxiu shook her head: "No."
Gu Yunran turned and looked at Mu Qianjiao again, "Does Fourth Miss remember where you lost it? Take someone to look for it."
Gu Yunran coughed twice as he spoke: "I've caught a cold these past two days, so it's inconvenient for me to go with you to look for it."
Mu Qianjiao waved her hand quickly: "No need, second sister-in-law, you should have a good rest, I will take the girl to find it."
"Okay, cough..." Gu Yunran coughed again.
Mu Qianjiao took her people out. As soon as she turned around, she put away the smile on her face and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.
Wait a minute, let Gu Yunran learn what’s in store for her.
Madam Mu looked at Gu Yunran with a distressed look on her face: "Yunran, you must take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, Grandma. It's been cold lately, so I may have caught a cold. It's nothing serious."
"Have you had Doctor Li take a look at you?"
"I see."
While Madam Mu was chatting with Gu Yunran, Mu Qianjiao was outside looking for the jade pendant with her maid.
She pretended to look around elsewhere and then came to the peach tree.
"I've searched the entire yard, but this is the only place I can find. You can look carefully."
"Yes, Fourth Miss."
The two maids brought by Mu Qianjiao and the maid in Gu Yunran's yard helped to look for it, but they almost dug out the roots of the peach tree, but still couldn't find the jade pendant, and the little man was not found either.
She frowned: "This is strange! Wasn't the thing buried under the peach tree by Wenxiu? Why can't I find it?"
We dug all around the peach tree, but still couldn't find any trace of the thing.
Could it be that Wenxiu was pretending to obey him but secretly disobeying him? Did she not bury the thing under the peach tree at all?
"Fourth Miss, the ground has been dug a foot deep and the trees are almost dug down. Have you found your jade pendant?" Ruizhu asked.
Mu Qianjiao finally came to her senses after hearing Ruizhu's voice. She shook her head awkwardly.
"No, it might have been lost somewhere else. I'll look for it somewhere else."
After saying that, she looked at the two girls and said, "Don't look for it anymore. It must have been lost somewhere else. Let's go."
" yes."
Mu Qianjiao, with a gloomy face, walked into the main hall with two maids and said to the old lady, "Grandma, my jade pendant must have been lost somewhere else."
Madam Mu looked at Mu Qianjiao and said, "Then look somewhere else."
"Okay, Jiaojiao will take her leave first."
After saying that, Mu Qianjiao took her people away.
She didn't come here to look for the jade pendant today. She came here to frame Gu Yunran. Since her goal was not achieved, there was no need for her to continue acting here.
Seeing Mu Qianjiao leave in a hurry, Old Madam Mu felt that she could not see through her granddaughter.
She said awkwardly, "Isn't this kid just a jade pendant? Why are you so anxious?"
Gu Yunran smiled and said, "Grandma, the fact that Fourth Sister is so attached to the jade pendant shows that you hold a special place in her heart."
Madam Mu laughed heartily.
"The fourth girl has really changed a lot."
Gu Yunran pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.
The fourth young lady has changed a lot. She has become more sophisticated and scheming than before.
Madam Mu chatted with Gu Yunran for a few words, and then she said, "Yunran, if you feel unwell, just take a good rest."
" good."
Gu Yunran stood up to see Madam Mu off, but the old lady refused to let her leave the house.
"It's windy outside, so don't go out anymore, or your condition will get worse. Just get some rest."
"Thank you for your consideration, Grandma!"
After Madam Mu left, Ruizhu came over and said, "Second Madam, Fourth Miss nearly broke the peach tree when she couldn't find it. You have no idea how awful her face was."
"Is it ugly?" Gu Yunran picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said lightly, "The ugliness is yet to come."
Zhuye took over the conversation: "That's right, Miss doesn't provoke him, but he comes to provoke Miss again and again. He really can't see himself clearly. With her little tricks, how can she fight with Miss?"
──
A few days later, the mansion was still very quiet.
Gu Yunran's cold had improved a lot, and she took her maid to the old lady's yard.
