Chapter 11 Greedy Sunset
Song Ci and Song Laosan turned around, looking confused.
"Song Ci, did you take your elder sister's bracelet? You are such a black-hearted person, and you are willing to bully such a good person. Why don't you take the thing out quickly?"
Song Rouxi looked at Song Ci in embarrassment, "Third sister, I don't want to embarrass you, but I really like that bracelet... If you're willing, I can buy it with silver. Just tell me how much you want. I'll agree to it no matter how much."
Song Rouxi thought about it and realized that her father and grandmother would help her. If Song Ci didn't give it to her, not only would she be scolded, but her uncle would also be scolded. If she wasn't stupid, she would just give it to herself.
Song Ci smiled and said, "Since my sister wants this bracelet, I'll give you twenty taels!"
She guessed that Song Rouxi did not have twenty taels. Even if she did, they would not be willing to give her the money for the sake of her uncle's ability to stay in Beijing and work as an official.
"What! Twenty taels? Are you crazy? You want twenty taels for a broken bracelet!" Old Mrs. Song's face was twisted with anger.
Song Ci said calmly, "Didn't Sister just say that she would agree to it no matter how much it was? This chain itself is not worth much, but I like it. If Sister wants it, just give her twenty taels."
Song Rouxi was dumbfounded. Song Ci actually dared to speak like that in front of her father and grandmother. Wasn't she afraid that her grandmother would be angry?
"Third sister, we are a family..."
"It is precisely because we are family that I am willing to sell it to you for twenty taels. If we are not family, I will definitely not be polite to anyone who wants to take my beloved bracelet."
Old Madam Song was furious and looked at Old Third Song, "Look at this beautiful daughter you gave birth to!"
Song Lao San was in a dilemma. Seeing his mother angry, he was about to lower his head and say something to his daughter, but he saw tears in her eyes. His heart softened immediately.
Forget it, let him be scolded. His daughter likes it so much, he can’t really take it from her, if he does that, what kind of father would he be!
"Mom, it's my fault. If you want to scold someone, just scold him." After saying that, he lowered his head, looking as if he would accept being beaten or scolded.
Old Madam Song pointed at Old Third Song's hand and trembled, "You, you."
Song Rouxi was also stunned. She felt that the scene before her was unfamiliar and shouldn't be like this. Song Ci should have swallowed her anger, and her uncle should have listened to her grandmother, given her the bracelet, and apologized to her.
Although Uncle Song felt sorry for his daughter, he felt it was unnecessary to make such a fuss over a worthless bracelet. Now was not the time to fall out.
"Alright, alright, it's just a bracelet. Rouxi, stop making trouble."
She's making a fuss? What's she making a fuss about? That bracelet is clearly hers!
When Song Rouxi heard her father's blame, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Uncle Song comforted his daughter softly, "You are the most sensible one. I will buy you a better one later."
She wanted this one!
Song Rouxi has always maintained a dignified and sensible image. She felt uncomfortable and bitter in her heart. Since her father said so, she could not continue to make trouble. She just hated Song Ci in her heart.
Why can't Song Dynasty porcelain just be obedient?
On this side, Song Ci not only left, but also took away the mutton, and did not leave any food bought from Zuiyue Tower. He said that his grandmother had enough food. She was angry just now, and now she would be even angrier when she saw the food he left behind and thought of himself.
Song Laosan felt that his daughter's words made sense.
The father and daughter walked back happily.
By the time Old Lady Song found out, the man had already disappeared, and she flew into a rage again.
At night, in the big house.
Li Yao sat on a soft chair, massaging her face gently with a jade roller. She looked coldly at Wan Xia, who was standing restlessly, and said in a cold voice, "Kneel down."
Wanxia's knees softened. "Madam, it's really not my fault. It was those bitches from the Third House who didn't allow me to come and tell you..."
"Still making excuses! You can't do your job well. If I had known that, why would I have sent you to the third house? You should know that no family will take you in to work after doing what you have done." Li Yao picked up the teacup calmly.
Wanxia was so frightened that her whole body was shaking, and she crawled on the ground. "Madam, please don't chase me away. I will do my best. Please, I will do anything you ask me to do."
"Get up. I'm not going to eat you. Since I've agreed to keep it a secret for you, I won't tell anyone. Go back and keep a close eye on the Third House. Tell me if anything happens. Otherwise, if it happens again, I'll sell you off and see if anyone is willing to take in a maid who has made such a mistake..."
The sunset glow came out from the big house, and I felt cold all over.
Her upper and lower teeth kept chattering. If the first wife hadn't discovered what she had done, she wouldn't have been like this.
But in the final analysis, it was all the fault of the people in the third house for not listening! If they had just behaved and continued to be foolish, wouldn't there be no problem?
Song Ci, in particular, had been acting rather slippery lately. She didn't know why, but she always felt that something was amiss with her, as if she was out of control. But thinking back to how Song Ci had always been obedient and never said a word when she suffered a loss, she consoled herself that there was no need to worry.
The third family is full of fools and losers. How could they suddenly change? I'm probably overthinking it.
She thought of the mutton that the third room had taken away, and her mouth started to drool.
As the head maid of the third house, she naturally had her share. She usually coaxed the third wife well, and the third wife treated her as her own and kept a share of all the good things, and the mutton was definitely no exception.
She ran back to the third room excitedly and looked at the empty bowls on the table. Song Ci, Song's father and the third wife were full and sitting together talking to each other. She felt a little unhappy, but then she thought that a special portion should have been left for her, so she went to the kitchen to check.
When she reached the kitchen door and was about to go in, she bumped into Wanxiang who was coming out.
"Oh, Sister Wanxia, where are you in such a hurry to go? Could it be that you are in a hurry to eat something?"
Wanxia blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful or I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Oh my, Sister Wanxia is angry, I'm so scared." Wanxiang dodged and teased her, which made Wanxia very angry.
Thinking of the mutton, she held her breath and went to the kitchen to check.
It was no big deal when she saw it, but she immediately got angry.
Where's the mutton? There was nothing in the kitchen except empty pots and pans!
She didn't believe it, so she searched for a while. After making sure that it was really not there, she pushed open the door and walked out angrily. She looked at Wanxiang who was smiling at the door, pointed at her and started scolding her.
"You little bastard, did you eat mutton?"
Wanxiang blinked and said innocently, "Sister Wanxia, you have to have evidence when you speak."
"Then why is there no mutton in the kitchen!" She put her hands on her hips and gritted her teeth in anger.
