"So you came here with Jia Baoyu?"
[Is that even a question? The two were pulling and tugging at each other.]
Shi Xiangyun shook her head in alarm and quickly denied it, "It was just a coincidence, nothing more."
She pinched herself hard with the hand hidden in her sleeve, warning herself not to give anything away. If she did, Mrs. Lin would eat her alive if she left her alone later!
"How has the ancestor been lately?"
"I ate well, slept well, yesterday Baoyu and I..."
[You and that conspicuous guy slept in Grandmother Jia's gauze-curtained wardrobe?]
Hmph, I knew you were after your conspicuous bag!
"No, no, that's not it. Last night, Baoyu and I had dinner with the old lady. We spent some time with her, and there were maids around during the night."
Waaah, Mrs. Lin is awful! She seems to dislike Brother Baoyu.
But she and Baoyu grew up eating and sleeping together since they were little; they even shared a blanket when they were children...
Looking at Mrs. Lin's eyes, I sob, please don't eat me, I won't tell anyone.
That was something that happened when I was a child, it has nothing to do with the present, Mrs. Lin, you must listen to my explanation!
"I'm just staying for a few days to keep the old lady company and relieve her boredom."
Shi Xiangyun: Mrs. Lin, you have to believe me, everything I said is true.
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "What a coincidence to run into you while boating on the lake."
Miss Shi seemed a little nervous. Could it be that she was frightened just now?
But the wife said that this person was straightforward and best at concealing her true intentions, so she was actually pretending?
That would be interesting.
This seemingly innocent and adorable little girl, in order to avoid being thrown out, actually went to such lengths to please everyone?
Shi Xiangyun felt that Miss Lin was so gentle and considerate. She got along very well with her. Just now, while they were talking, she poured tea for her and gave her fruit and snacks. Seeing Miss Lin's appearance and behavior, she was afraid that no one could find fault with her.
What a perfect person!
Hmph, she's a thousand times better than that Baochai. I saw her yesterday, and she barely acknowledged me. She only said a few words before rushing off. A young lady from a respectable family, yet she's busier than those doing business outside.
Hmph, all Baoyu says when he opens his mouth is how amazing Bao-jie is, how good Bao-jie is.
She thought Sister Lin was the best, and she would make her laugh when she saw her another day!
"Hehe, it's all fate." Shi Xiangyun quickly poured Lin Daiyu a cup of tea, smiling ingratiatingly.
Shen Ajiao watched Shi Xiangyun busily trying to please Lin Daiyu and was quite surprised. This girl and Lin Daiyu had never gotten along. Whenever they met, they would either fight or stab each other with bamboo sticks. It was really strange to see her trying to please Lin Daiyu like this today.
Thinking of teasing her,
"If you keep pouring tea here, what will Baoyu do?"
"ah?"
Shi Xiangyun then remembered that she had followed the sound and stayed behind, but Baoyu had been dragged out... this... this...
Brother Baoyu must be getting impatient waiting outside. What should we do?
Looking at Shi Xiangyun, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, Shen Ajiao smiled and pointed to the golden unicorn pendant on her chest, asking, "What's that?"
Shi Xiangyun was terrified of Shen Ajiao. When she saw that Shen Ajiao wanted her golden unicorn, she quickly took it off and handed it over, saying, "Mrs. Lin, this was made by my aunt for Miss Shi."
[Does the Shi family have daughters?]
[Isn't love her exclusive domain?]
I thought it was custom-made to match the eye-catching jade bag.
Shi Xiangyun was terrified. She had secretly made it herself, with that kind of intention, but for some reason, her aunt had made one for every girl in the family.
She originally had unspeakable suffering.
This time, she was so angry she didn't want to go home. She sent someone to tell the matriarch to bring her over, along with the qilin. Coincidentally, the matriarch wanted her to keep Baoyu company.
She specially changed into clothes similar to Baoyu's and wore this qilin pendant.
Baoyu didn't see it, but the monster saw it first.
Judging from the monster's tone, it seems he doesn't particularly like Baoyu.
If she says this is exclusively hers, she will inevitably anger a demon, and then her life will be in danger. What's the point of a perfect marriage then?
"Every girl has it." It's true, what she's saying now is absolutely true!
So that's how it is.
Shi Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief.
[If that's the case, was Shi Xiangyun's aunt really good to her?]
Then why is she going around saying that her aunt treats her badly?
This little girl is probably trying to gain Jia Mu and Baoyu's sympathy. Alas, what a pity.
Shi Xiangyun was taken aback.
Her father was the eldest son in the family and was supposed to inherit the title, but unfortunately he died in battle. Her mother, disregarding her infant status, followed him in death, leaving her all alone...
Her aunt pitied her and treated her very well, even better than her own daughter. She said those bad things because she wanted the old lady to bring her over to play with Baoyu.
What a pity?
Shi Xiangyun suddenly remembered that when the old lady sent someone to pick her up, her aunt was as usual, but her tone was cold and her eyes were icy. At that time, she was in a hurry to find Baoyu and did not think so much.
Looking back now, was Mrs. Lin's "what a pity" a pity for her?
What's a pity about her?
It is said that if a demon cultivates to a high level, he can see into the future. Could it be that she saw what her future would be like?
That's why you would say "what a pity"?
What will happen to her then?
Marry Brother Baoyu?
still……
She knew that Mrs. Lin's attitude towards Brother Baoyu wouldn't be good, but she...
Are there any other options?
[This eye-catching bag seems to have acquired some kind of irresistible charm that appeals to both men and women.]
[First there was Xiren, then Qin Zhong, and now… sigh, this one doesn't care about innocence.]
