Chapter 425 Sending Shu Jin at Night
In the end, Cen Yuehua left with a grim look on her face.
Even though Xing Xing asked her to choose, Cen Yuehua couldn't really choose - otherwise, if word got out about this, and the young master just touched her skirt, and she made him pay for a whole bolt of Sichuan brocade, she would have no chance of living as a human being in the capital anymore!
Cen Yuehua agreed at first just because she wanted to see Xingxing get slapped in the face, but who knew that Xingxing really did it!
This time, she was the one who got slapped in the face. On top of that, Yu Yonghuai was also speaking coldly to her and had a bad face. Cen Yuehua felt so wronged that she could only say goodbye in a hurry and leave.
However, after Cen Yuehua left, Yu Yonghuai's face did not look very good.
From Cen Yuehua's behavior, he could guess how Cen Yueyi was treated in Jiang Taihou's mansion on a daily basis.
Xing Xing comforted him, "Brother, don't worry too much. Sister Cen will be married in two months. You must treat her well then."
Yu Yonghuai nodded slowly.
Cen Yuehua returned to Jiang Taihou's Mansion and had a very bad temper.
Upon hearing the news, the wife of Marquis Jiang Tai came over and asked, "What happened to you?"
Cen Yuehua gritted her teeth and told Jiang Taihou's wife angrily what had happened to her at the Yu family.
Madam Jiang Taihou smiled and lifted up one of Cen Yuehua's wrists to take a look: "Silly child, those are all fake - is this the meeting gift that Madam Wei gave you?"
The shrimp whisker gold bracelet was in very good condition and brand new, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a newly made piece of jewelry.
Madam Jiang Taihou nodded with a satisfied smile: "It seems that Madam Wei is quite satisfied with you."
Cen Yuehua was still feeling uncomfortable: "But General Yu looked like he really disliked me - that jerk Cen Yueyi must have said something bad about me in front of General Yu!"
The more Cen Yuehua thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. She was so angry that she rushed out to find Cen Yueyi: "I'm going to settle the score with her!"
Madam Jiang Taihou grabbed Cen Yuehua and said, "You can go find your sister, but you can't go to settle the score with her."
Cen Yuehua looked at Madam Jiang Taihou in confusion: "Mother, what do you mean?"
Madam Jiang Taihou smiled and tapped Cen Yuehua's forehead: "Silly child, go find your sister, don't tell her how Yu Xingxing and Yu Yonghuai bullied you, just tell her the good things. Just say that Madam Wei likes you very much, and that General Yu personally saw you off -"
Cen Yuehua finally reacted. She touched the shrimp-whisker gold bracelet on her other wrist and smiled with a twisted look of sudden enlightenment: "Mom is absolutely right!"
Cen Yuehua couldn't wait to run to find Cen Yueyi.
Cen Yueyi was embroidering her red veil in the house.
She sat quietly by the window, embroidering carefully, stitch by stitch.
Cen Yuehua ran in without waiting for the maid to announce it, raised her hand, and showed off to Cen Yueyi: "Sister, do you think this bracelet on my hand is pretty?"
Cen Yueyi also gave her some face, raised her head to take a look, and nodded: "It looks good."
Cen Yuehua was very proud: "I went to the Zhenxi General's residence today, and Old Madam Wei sent me there. Sister, although you are engaged to General Yu, I think Old Madam Wei likes me more."
Cen Yueyi's hand, which was threading the needle, paused slightly.
Cen Yuehua noticed Cen Yueyi's abnormality and became even happier. She sat next to Cen Yueyi in an intimate manner, lowered her voice and smiled at Cen Yueyi: "Sister, do you know? I met General Yu in the General's Mansion. General Yu talked to me for a long time and finally watched me leave in person."
"You are so dull and boring, like a piece of wood. How can General Yu really like you?"
"General Yu was merely bound by the imperial decree to marry."
After hearing a few provocative words, Cen Yueyi's face turned slightly pale.
Just when Cen Yuehua was feeling proud, Cen Yueyi looked at Cen Yuehua. Although her face was still a little pale, she still said firmly: "General Yu is not the kind of person you said."
Cen Yuehua was immediately enraged. She stood up abruptly and pointed at Cen Yueyi's nose and cursed: "Don't act like you are very familiar with General Yu! If General Yu had met me earlier, he would not have chosen you!"
Cen Yueyi lowered her eyes and continued to embroider the pattern on the red veil on the embroidery stand.
Cen Yuehua made a fuss for a while, but when she saw that Cen Yueyi ignored her, she finally felt bored and ran out.
After Cen Yuehua left, Cen Yueyi's maid said indignantly: "How could the Second Miss be so presumptuous!... Miss, why are you so pale? Did you really believe her words? It's obvious that the Second Miss is here to cause trouble for you."
Cen Yueyi shook her head.
Of course she didn't believe what Cen Yuehua said.
She believed Yu Yonghuai.
But no matter whether you believe it or not, those words are always uncomfortable to hear.
Cen Yueyi pursed her lips and put the embroidery frame aside, not wanting to embroider anymore.
When it was time to blow out the lights and rest, Cen Yueyi was lying quietly on the bed, when suddenly there was a sound of pebbles knocking against the window.
Cen Yueyi sat up suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and then went to open the window.
Outside the window, the night was darker than water. A tall young general came in through the window, holding three pieces of cloth in his arms.
Cen Yueyi's heart was pounding: "You, what are you doing——"
The cloth was very heavy, but the young general placed it on the table beside him as if it were air.
"I heard your sister say something today. She got half a piece of Shujin from your family and used it to make clothes." Yu Yonghuai looked unhappy. "I was very unhappy. I opened the warehouse, found a few pieces of Shujin, and sent them to you. You can use these cloths to make some clothes. Don't be reluctant. I have more in my warehouse, but I don't know them well. I will study them later. Those beautiful cloths are all yours!"
Cen Yueyi stood far away and didn't say anything. After a while, with tears in her eyes, she said angrily, "Fool!"
…
At the end of the year, the Zhenxi General's Mansion was very busy. It was the first time for the entire Yu family to celebrate the Spring Festival in the capital. They bought a lot of things according to the customs of their hometown, and then bought a lot of things according to the customs of the capital, decorating the entire Zhenxi General's Mansion with lights and decorations.
When Mrs. Liu came to deliver New Year gifts, she covered her mouth in amazement and said, "Your house looks like you're getting married soon. Isn't the decoration too beautiful?"
Bai Xiaofeng felt relieved after hearing this. She even covered her mouth and laughed, "What's that? Don't you know that our Huai'er told his mother last night that when he gets married, he wants to cover the whole yard with red silk - his mother was so scared that when she came to talk to me about this this morning, she said Huai'er was really crazy. Even if our family is rich, we wouldn't do that!"
Mrs. Liu spat: "I heard it, you are here to show off your wealth to me!"
They both burst into laughter.
