Chapter 381: It’s not okay, it’s aimed at Cen Yueyi
At first, Cen Yueyi was a little hesitant about how to deal with it, but Cen Yuehua was the one who always complained first, and ran to Jiang Taihou and said something like, "I want to play with my sister, but my sister doesn't want to play with me," and other confusing things.
After being told this by Jiang Taihou several times, Cen Yueyi finally understood.
In addition, she was patient and dignified, and was too lazy to argue with Cen Yuehua.
She was used to Cen Yuehua being like this.
Cen Yueyi stood there, waiting for Cen Yuehua to return the hairpin.
Cen Yuehua looked very friendly and stuffed the brocade box into Cen Yueyi's sleeve.
However, before the brocade box completely touched Cen Yueyi's sleeve, Cen Yuehua suddenly let go, and the brocade box containing the hairpin immediately fell down!
Cen Yuehua cried out "Aiya", with malice in her eyes: "Aiya, sister, why are you so careless? This is a meeting gift from the old lady of Weibei Marquis, how could you drop it?"
Cen Yueyi said calmly, "Oh?" "Really? Take another look."
Cen Yuehua subconsciously looked down at the ground - and found that Cen Yueyi's embroidered shoes were slightly bent, hooking the brocade box!
The brocade box wasn't even on the ground, let alone the hairpin being broken!
Cen Yuehua's expression changed instantly.
However, Cen Yueyi had already bent down, picked up the brocade box, and brushed off the dirt that might have been on it - or perhaps she was annoyed that Cen Yuehua had touched it.
Cen Yueyi handed the brocade box to the maid beside her: "Take it back and put it in my dressing table."
Cen Yuehua was gritting her teeth.
Cen Yueyi thinks this sister is very childish.
She had suffered a few losses from these little tricks when she first started to understand her temper. Could it be that she would suffer losses from them forever?
Do you really think it's a new trick?
Xing Xing clapped her hands excitedly: "Wow, Sister Cen, you are so awesome!"
Cen Yueyi pursed her lips and smiled shyly: "...In the past, when I was at Su Yang's grandmother's house, I played shuttlecock with my grandmother every day."
"No wonder the response was so good!" Xing Xing praised with starry eyes.
Cen Yueyi smiled faintly.
However, Cen Yuehua felt that Cen Yueyi's smile was becoming more and more unsightly!
Her expression changed again, returning to her usual innocent look: "...Sister, I was just worried that you might break the gift given by the old lady of Weibei Marquis, I didn't mean any other thing."
Cen Yueyi nodded calmly and said calmly: "Yes, you don't mean anything else."
After saying this, Cen Yueyi regarded the matter as settled and sat down.
Cen Yuehua gritted her teeth and sat down, but she blamed the maidservant who was serving beside her: "You are such a fool, don't you know how to pour tea?! You are standing there like a fool, it's an eyesore to look at, do you really think this family can't do without you?!"
While cursing, Cen Yuehua also deliberately glanced in Cen Yueyi's direction, fearing that others would not know that she was making indirect accusations.
The maids beside Cen Yueyi couldn't help but clench their fists.
Cen Yueyi didn't even raise her eyelids. She took a sip of tea and listened to the crows chirping in her ears.
However, Xing Xing suddenly spoke up and said to Cen Yue Hua in a serious tone, "Sister, please don't get angry like this all the time. I'm telling you, you don't look good. Your body is already a little out of balance. If you keep getting angry like this, you'll get acnes on your face."
Cen Yuehua's expression suddenly changed and she subconsciously touched her face.
Then she reacted and glared at Xing Xing: "Sister Yu, what are you talking about? You are a guest at someone else's house, why are you cursing the host family?!"
Xing Xing uttered an "ah" and said innocently, "I didn't curse you. Sister, I was reminding you that you should calm down and concentrate your mind, eat a lighter diet, and especially don't lose your temper... otherwise you will get acnes. How can this be called a curse?"
Xing Xing was so angry that Cen Yue Hua stood up from the table. She wanted to curse at her, but Xing Xing immediately reminded her sincerely: "Sister, you have acne on your face!"
Cen Yuehua's curse words were simply blocked back!
Cen Yueyi kept a stern face, because only in this way could she not burst out laughing.
Cen Yuehua was soon angry and left.
Xing Xing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Cen Yueyi with some sympathy: "Sister Cen, although I shouldn't say this, but you have been hard-working given the situation at home."
Cen Yueyi smiled faintly: "It's not a big deal actually. I grew up in Suyang since I was a child, so it's nothing."
"Wow, Su Yang. I heard that Su Yang food is delicious. Sister Cen, what is your favorite food?"
"There are so many that I don't know where to start right now... Well, I know a restaurant in Beijing that serves authentic Suzhou cuisine. I'll take you there whenever you have time."
Xing Xing clapped her hands happily: "Okay, okay."
The two of them sat together and had a very happy chat.
Back in the main hall, at this moment, Madam Jiang Taihou was listening to the words of Madam Weibeihou with a pounding heart:
"...I was entrusted by Lady Wei from the Zhenxi General's Mansion to come and propose marriage to the daughter of the mansion on behalf of her eldest grandson, Yu Yonghuai, the Zhenxi General who is currently a great figure in the capital."
The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai happily responded, "Okay, okay, okay, I've long thought that the two children are a match made in heaven, and they couldn't be more perfect together... I wanted to match the two children up before, but I didn't expect that the Zhenxi General's Mansion would actually ask you to come and propose marriage. It shows that the Zhenxi General's Mansion still values my Hua'er very much..."
Madam Jiang Taihou was so happy that she was going crazy. She was already thinking that the Zhenxi general had just defeated the Xidi royal court and must have collected a lot of Xidi treasures. When she came to formally propose marriage to her son Huaer, she would have to include all those in the betrothal gifts for Huaer...
When the old lady of Weibei Marquis heard the word "Hua'er", she frowned slightly and asked, "Did Madam Marquis misunderstand something?"
Madam Jiang Taihou was startled: "What?"
The old lady of Weibei Marquis said calmly, "I came here to propose marriage this time at the request of Lady Wei from the Zhenxi General's Mansion. I came to propose marriage to your daughter, Cen Yueyi."
When Madam Jiang Taihou heard the name "Cen Yueyi", she felt as if struck by lightning and stood up suddenly. However, she still couldn't believe it. She forced a smile and confirmed with Madam Weibeihou: "...Are you talking about Cen Yueyi? Not my daughter Cen Yuehua?"
The old lady of Weibei Marquis nodded patiently and smiled meaningfully: "Madam Jiangtai Marquis is joking. Although you are a stepmother, you are also Cen Yueyi's mother. How can she not be your daughter?"
As happy as Lady Jiang Taihou was just now, she is now as angry as ever.
Her face turned pale and she blurted out, "No!"
The old lady of Weibei Marquis's face also faded: "No? Why not? Didn't the wife of Jiangtai Marquis just praise you and say that you are a match made in heaven? It can be seen that she is very satisfied with young General Yu. Now it's your eldest daughter, and you are no longer suitable. It can be seen that this no is directed at your eldest daughter, Cen Yueyi!"
