Chapter 375 Giving Away a Bracelet
“There’s no need for that,” Daiyu quickly declined, then sat down next to Yuan Hongqu, resting her head affectionately on her shoulder, quite naturally.
Everyone was used to it, so they didn't think Daiyu's posture was indecent.
"If you were to follow me around all the time, I would naturally be more than happy. However, the academy, the palace, and your own sister Feng in this mansion would probably all be unhappy."
Since returning, Daiyu has been quite busy. Besides writing letters to Lin Ruhai describing her experiences along the way, she has also visited the Rongguo Mansion several times and the palace quite often.
She noticed that everyone's attitude towards her had changed since the end of this study abroad trip.
I used to treat her like a child, like a child whose parents weren't around, but now I actually treat her like an adult.
Daiyu liked this change very much.
In fact, she matured early and was more insightful about human relationships than others.
Even though Yuan Hongqu had been protecting her all these years, she was still Lin Daiyu. She had read so many books, learned so much knowledge, and seen the vastness of the universe and the beauty of mountains and rivers. How could she possibly still think like a child when it came to things?
Yuan Hongqu never deliberately pushed Daiyu to become an adult. The current development is a natural result of the growth shaped by various environments. Yuan Hongqu feels very gratified and even a little proud of this Lin Daiyu.
After all, the Lin Daiyu of today has completely shed the image of the sickly beauty in the original work, but still retains Daiyu's true nature, her innocence and kindness.
"Of course, I have my own things to do too. But nothing compares to you." This was the first time Yuan Hongqu had clearly revealed Daiyu's position in her heart in front of others.
She was certain that this would get out, and she didn't care how others dressed. All she wanted was for everyone to know that in Yuan Hongqu's eyes, everything about Daiyu came first, and everything else had to come second!
"Granny, I'm so touched!" Daiyu pretended to wipe away her tears with her handkerchief, but the curve of her lips had already revealed her joy.
"You two, stop being so sour about us!" Wang Xifeng was genuinely a little sour. She and her sister Yuan came to this world from the same place. In their original world, they were friends, but after arriving here, it turned out that Yuan's number one person wasn't her.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't a little jealous, but she also liked Daiyu, so the jealousy only lasted until she finished saying that sentence and then it dissipated.
"Second Grandma, don't be jealous. This is something no one can fight for," Xueyan said with a smile.
"How dare I argue? I can't win anyway, so can't I even say a few words?" Wang Xifeng pretended to be aggrieved, which made everyone laugh.
"Second Madam is in such a good mood, I'm afraid my arrival has disturbed your peace." As she spoke, an old woman was brought in and bowed to everyone.
"Oh my, isn't this Sister Zhou? What brings you here, you busy lady?" Wang Xifeng recognized the woman as Zhou Rui's wife, a maidservant to the Second Madam, and spoke to her without any politeness.
"I see you're quite perceptive, knowing you're disturbing my peace and quiet. Since you know that, what are you still doing here? Go find somewhere cool and stay somewhere else!"
"Second Madam, it's my fault. The Old Madam asked me to run an errand for her today," Zhou Rui's wife said with a smile, holding up the box she was carrying.
"The old lady said that when she saw this pair of jade bracelets today, she thought of her second grandmother."
She opened the box, revealing a pair of jade bracelets inside. The bracelets were so transparent that the veins of the silk underneath the box were clearly visible.
Since Wang Xifeng came to stay with Yuan Hongqu, people from the Rongguo Mansion have been bringing her gifts almost every day. She knows that most of the things sent on behalf of the First and Second Madams are actually from the First and Second Masters.
They realized what was happening, but it was impossible to sever ties with the East Mansion so easily, especially since the East Mansion was currently holding a funeral. It wouldn't be appropriate to argue with Jia Zhen at this time.
Both Jia She and Jia Zheng knew that this was because Jia Lian had not yet returned, and that Hong Qu's interference in the Jia family's affairs was improper and unjustified.
When Jia Lian returns, not to mention Jia Lian himself, even just the fact that Yuan Hongqu wants to use Jia Lian's name to deal with those who have offended Wang Xifeng will be unbearable for them.
They wanted Wang Xifeng to accept the gifts, calm down, and stop arguing.
However, they seemed to have forgotten that Wang Xifeng was not someone to be trifled with.
In previous years, when Wang Xifeng got angry, even Jia Lian had to kneel on a washboard and apologize.
She was nicknamed "Tiger Mother" back then, which shows how ferocious she was in people's minds.
Wang Xifeng accepted all the gifts that were sent, but she still kept a straight face and was just as quick to anger.
Nothing, no matter how good, could soothe her wounded heart.
So when the first and second wives came to visit, Wang Xifeng put on quite a show, crying until she soaked three handkerchiefs.
When the First Madam and the Second Madam saw this scene, they were also puzzled. They had never thought that this fiery Feng could cry so much. Why was she so heartbroken this time? Could it really be as she said, that she felt that all her passion had been wasted, that she had almost given her life to keep the Rongguo Mansion standing, but was wrongly accused of being a demon? How could she not be heartbroken?
After the two left, the next day, even more exquisite jewelry and precious stones were presented to Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng accepted the jewelry without changing her expression.
After the people left, she counted the jewels, converted them into gold and silver, and then into modern currency.
After calculating everything, she looked at the eight followed by many zeros, counted them several times, and couldn't help but pinch her thigh hard:
I received the salary of a top-tier star for just one film!
It's unbelievable! In the modern world, she worked so hard for so long and couldn't even get a fraction of what she earned, but in this world, she only acted in one crying scene and got such a high salary.
Sigh, where can I even seek justice?
Wang Xifeng had these items registered and then stored in her private treasury.
From now on, this will all be her private savings!
It's unbelievable that the old lady would have someone deliver something to her.
Although Wang Xifeng was surprised, she still picked up a bracelet.
The bracelet is exceptional in both its clarity and the fineness of its craftsmanship.
Although she didn't know much about jewelry, she could still tell good things from it; this bracelet was definitely valuable.
"The old lady said that since you are pregnant, this jade is the best for nourishing people. Wearing this regularly can calm the mind and relieve restlessness, which is very good for your health."
"This is truly a priceless treasure!"
Granny Jin, who was used to seeing good things, finally couldn't help but praise it.
