capital girl

Chapter 96

Zhang Xiulan had long felt that Chuntao's brain was not normal, she always liked to eat melon seeds, and she was not very diligent in doing things.

A few years ago, she was going to sell Chuntao and buy another one, but Li Yulou said she was fine.

"Look at your appearance, it's getting more and more abnormal." Zhang Xiulan frowned and looked at Chuntao.

Chuntao was unmoved, she was a very determined person.

"Miss asked me to come, and asked me to stand until she came back tomorrow morning." Chuntao said.

"Are you sure you're going to stand with the door stick until tomorrow morning?" Zhang Xiulan asked.

Chuntao nodded, her attitude was very firm, "Of course, I promise Miss..."

"Stubborn donkey..." Zhang Xiulan muttered and stopped paying attention to Chuntao.

Li Xu was curious for a moment when he came back, and said, "Your lady is already married, so she won't count on this family from now on."

Meng Shiyu came back a bit late, and even drank and said that he wanted to rest in the study.

Li Yulou originally wanted to ask Meng Shiyu's identity, but she thought about it all night, and realized that it was a lie that Meng Shiyu said that he made money by copying books. Just to create that kind of rustic image.

She, and many others, had been deceived by him.

And she knew why Zhang Xiulan's attitude changed suddenly, it was all because she received Ye Mingzhu.

Her mother sold her to Meng Shiyu for the price of a night pearl.

She didn't think much of it, after all, Ye Mingzhu was very valuable.

She didn't expect that she could sell it for such a good price.

The next morning, she got up before dawn and rushed into the kitchen.

The cook and all the help cooks were so scared that they almost knelt down and begged her not to think about showing off her cooking skills, because it took them two hours to clean the kitchen that day.

"Hurry up and prepare breakfast. I want to eat a big bowl of noodles...Your young master is also noodles. After drinking, have some soup to help your stomach. In addition, hurry up and make some hangover soup."

After Li Yulou gave the order, he turned around and left.The chef was relieved and worked harder to prepare breakfast.

Li Yulou knocked on the study door again, knocking very hard. Although Meng Shiyu was actually awake, he was still taken aback.

He rubbed between his brows, "What happened to Yulou?"

"I don't know, Madam got up very early, she looked like she was doing a lot, and she didn't know what to do, but today is the day to go back home." Xiao Qi said with a smile.

"Oh..." Meng Shiyu nodded and put on his clothes.

"Shiyu, are you awake? The hangover soup is ready, get up and drink the hangover soup." Li Yulou's voice sounded outside.

"Yulou..." Meng Shiyu opened the door and saw that the girl had an anxious expression on her face, but she had combed the young woman's hair accessories, and her clothes were a little brown. She had already put on her clothes and even her hair accessories. , it seems that only lip balm and a little makeup are left.

"What are you thinking so early, you should go back to the door today." Meng Shiyu asked, his voice a little hoarse.

"I know, just go back home!" Li Yulou said as he handed the hangover soup to Meng Shiyu, "My noodles are ready, I'll eat the noodles first, and then I'll prepare them. You should hurry up too."

Meng Shiyu watched the girl disappear like a wind, and looked at Xiaoqi in a moment of uncertainty.

Xiao Qi shook his head.

"Call the steward." Meng Shiyu said.

The housekeeper came soon, "Master..."

"What did Madam do yesterday?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Yesterday I took my wife to look at the warehouse, counted the accounts, and handed over the key to my wife. This house needs my wife to take care of it. This is the young master's order."

"But Madam doesn't seem to have expected the young master to be so rich."

"Is there anything else?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Other...nothing..." The housekeeper thought for a while, "Madam sent her personal maid back to Mrs. Li's house."

"Oh..." Meng Shiyu seemed to understand something, drank sober soup, ate half a bowl of noodles, and walked to her mother's house with Li Yulou in a carriage.

On the way, Li Yulou seemed not in the mood to talk to him either, urging the coachman to speed up all the way, wishing he could grow a pair of wings and fly back.

"Yulou, if you are in such a hurry, your father-in-law will think that I am bullying you, and that you are having a bad time at home." Meng Shiyu said.

"How come, I'm fine, they will hate me, don't worry..." Li Yulou said.

Meng Shiyu,...

"Miss, you are finally back." Chuntao swayed when she saw Li Yulou's figure, and then fell directly at the door of Li Xu's main room.

"Why are you so crazy? Send this little lunatic back. She really stood at the door all night." Zhang Xiulan said.

Meng Shiyu looked at Zhang Xiulan and called out, "Mother..."

"Hey!" Zhang Xiulan smiled like a flower, and agreed clearly and loudly.

"Shiyu is here, hurry up, go inside and find your father, he is waiting for you in the study, you play a game with him." Zhang Xiulan said to Meng Shiyu with a smile.

"Hey, good..." Meng Siyu agreed and went to the study.

Li Yulou had already rushed into the main room at this time, jumped onto the bed and found a beautiful box between the two pillows.

Then she opened it, and a full-colored white bead lay quietly inside.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Xiulan came up to grab her.

But she was not as fast as Li Yulou, she quickly closed the box and hid it behind her back.

She jumped out of bed, held the box and looked at Zhang Xiulan.

"That's mine." Zhang Xiulan stared at Li Yulou warily.

"Mother, do you know what this is?" Li Yulou asked.

"Mine, you don't care if I know or not, you give it to me." Zhang Xiulan wanted to grab it, but Li Yulou lifted the box up.

"Little ancestor, what are you going to do, you..." Zhang Xiulan was so frightened that her heart was trembling.

"What is this?" Li Yulou asked again.

"Ye Mingzhu..." Zhang Xiulan said, clutching her chest.

"Shiyu's, this is too expensive to give to you. I want to take it back. I brought you a box of gold as an engagement." Li Yulou said.

"No wonder you came so early, so it's because of this, I don't want gold, I want night pearls..." Zhang Xiulan said.

"No, the Ye Mingzhu is too precious, no..." Li Yulou said, carrying the Ye Mingzhu outside.

Li Xu and Meng Shiyu heard the commotion and came over. They saw Zhang Xiulan chasing Li Yulou all over the yard.

"What are you doing?" Li Xu was a little ashamed to see Meng Shiyu.

"Hurry up, Li Yulou is a picky eater, she wants to snatch Ye Mingzhu, hurry up..." Zhang Xiulan greeted Li Xu, "Take Ye Mingzhu."

Li Xu wanted to grab it, but he couldn't do that kind of thing.

"Shiyu, let's go." Li Yulou greeted Meng Shiyu, and ran out the door along the way.

"Yulou, it's for parents, you just keep it..." Meng Shiyu said.

"Li Yulou, can you hear what my son-in-law said, it's for us, you put it down." Zhang Xiulan raised the feather duster in her hand and shouted angrily at Li Yulou.

"No, it's too expensive. How can there be such a precious thing as an engagement gift, and it's not a palace nobleman..." Li Yulou said and rushed to the door.

"Close the door, close the door..." Zhang Xiulan yelled at the courtyard door.
