"Young master, it's one thing to give away other things, but why did you also give away that set of coral jewelry meant for the future princess?"
Lin Yun looked at Fu Xiaoyu with puzzlement. That was made of rare gemstones, and there were only two sets in the whole country.
"Those things are all meaningless external possessions. She saved my life. Doesn't she deserve those things?"
In his view, Cui Yulu's value to him was definitely greater than that of the coral jewelry.
Lin Yun was puzzled, but he couldn't speculate about what his masters were doing, so he could only follow him back.
When the two returned to the village, the people chatting at the village entrance were all astonished to see them returning in a horse-drawn carriage.
That fool in the Han family is truly blessed. His wife has only been married into the family for a month, and he's already sent a carriage back. It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
Abu was playing with Niu Niu and his friends at the village entrance when he saw Cui Yulu and the others. He happily climbed onto the carriage and looked around with delight.
"Sister, you're really amazing! You actually bought a horse-drawn carriage."
"I didn't buy it; it was a gift from someone else."
Abu admired her even more, but Han Yu'an remained silent.
As soon as I arrived at my door, I heard Liu Meie cursing loudly from inside: "You damned, despicable bastard, how dare you steal my chickens? Aren't you afraid your mouth will rot after you eat them?"
"Mom, you've been scolding me for so long, stop now. You may not care about your reputation, but I do."
Han Chunying tried to persuade Liu Meie from the side.
"Auntie, we're back! Look what good things we brought!"
As they were talking, a tall, magnificent horse appeared before Liu Meie, its burgundy fur clearly indicating its high value.
"Oh my, Cui girl, you're really something! This whole cart of stuff is for you?"
There were also several fur coats inside the car, which were very nice, making Liu Meie extremely happy.
Liu Meie stopped cursing when she saw the good stuff and quickly helped Cui Yulu carry the things into the house.
Hearing the commotion outside, Liu Xiuying quickly followed. The whole family busied themselves, storing the grain and food in the warehouse and moving the rest to Grandma's room.
However, Han Yu'an kept a dark expression on his face. After moving his things, he turned around and went back to his room, and did not come out again.
"Did you two have a fight?"
"No, he's probably just tired. Let him rest for a while."
Cui Yulu always thought he was thinking about revenge, so she didn't let her grandmother and the others disturb him.
"All this stuff is for you. You've saved someone's whole family's lives, haven't you?"
Liu Meie held up a gray fur coat and kept gesturing to herself.
"Pretty much, but not just one family, but the whole country. I saved him, and people all over the country should thank me."
"Look, this girl Cui's way of speaking has started to change. She even said she saved the whole country. Why don't you just say you saved a god?"
Liu Meie joked, throwing down the fur coat and picking up a brocade skirt to compare it to herself.
Cui Yulu just chuckled and said, "You're right. She really did save a deity, otherwise she wouldn't have such good luck."
"These clothes are so beautiful. I can wear them when Han Bao gets married. I'm sure all the women in his second wife's family will be so envious."
Liu Meie was beaming with pride; she had finally gotten her revenge.
Liu Meie didn't touch the other jewelry in the other boxes. It was good enough that everyone shared the clothes and fabrics; why would she want other people's jewelry?
However, Cui Yulu didn't intend to keep all of these for herself.
"This golden begonia bead hairpin is perfect for you, Chunying."
Han Chunying also received several sets of clothes, and she was overjoyed when she saw the hairpin.
"Sister-in-law, we are so lucky to have you in our family."
Cui Yulu chuckled softly and didn't say anything. Instead, she silently took out a gold hairpin with a long, coiled pattern from the jewelry box and handed it to her sister-in-law, Cao Qiaoniu.
“Sister-in-law, you are quite composed. This hairpin style suits you. Please take it.”
"How could I accept this? It would be such a waste to give me something so nice to wear!"
Cao Qiaoniu looked at everyone with a sense of flattery and fear that her mother-in-law would scold her.
"How could that be? This hairpin is valuable because of you. Without you, it would just be a cold, lifeless lump of gold."
He then placed the gold hairpin in her hair and glanced at Liu Meie: "Auntie, don't you think it looks beautiful?"
Liu Meie was a little embarrassed when she was suddenly called out. She glanced at Cao Qiaoniu and then nodded to Cui Yulu: "Yulu is right."
"Yulu, have you prepared a gift for us?"
Han Bao didn't know when he had returned, but seeing the lively atmosphere in the house, he quickly came over to join in the fun.
I never expected Cui Yulu to have so much jewelry.
"Then tell me, do you want to give it to Sister Qiaoyue?"
Han Bao lowered his head in embarrassment at the question, scratching his head as he said, "Oh, please stop teasing me. We're about to get engaged, so it would be proper for us to have some gifts."
"I prepared this for you, here you go."
Han Bao saw that it was a pair of gold-inlaid jade pendants and a pearl-decorated eight-treasure hairpin. In terms of both workmanship and style, it far surpassed Cui Yufang's gold hairpin.
Han Bao was overjoyed and quickly stuffed the things into his pocket, afraid that Liu Meie would confiscate them.
Liu Xiuying looked at all these nice things, but she couldn't feel happy at all.
You should just give someone a consultation fee when you treat them. Why give them so much? Are you perhaps up to something?
"Alright everyone, stop fooling around. You've all received your things, so hurry up and get busy cooking. Yulu must be tired, so you should all go out now."
