Chapter 48 Such a Precious Gift

"Right now, the old lady just doesn't want to see Lu Lianzhi. This is not enough. I'm afraid I have to push things further to make things more interesting."

Dou Lianyi picked up the silver spoon, scooped up a mouthful of blood swallow, and put it into his mouth. After a moment, he had a plan in mind.

She called Bai Zhi to come closer and whispered a few words in her ear.

"...That's it, but try not to let you come forward, and don't let Xiao Liuzi be discovered."

"I understand, young lady, don't worry!"

Bai Zhi kept it in mind while listening, and her admiration for Dou Lianyi deepened.

At this moment, Yuzhu also walked in from outside the house, holding a long cloth wrap in his hand.

"Young Madam, Boss Qin said that he came to visit you without telling you in advance last time, so he specially ordered someone to send this to you."

"what is this?"

Dou Lianyi asked Yuzhu to put the cloth wrapper on the small table by the window with some curiosity, and then picked up the silver scissors to cut open the tightly wrapped cloth strip.

Suddenly, the contents were exposed.

"Donghai Sujin?"

When he saw it for the first time, Dou Lianyi's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

Bai Zhi and Yu Zhu looked at each other. They didn't recognize what it was, so they asked cautiously: "Young madam, what is this? It looks like just an ordinary piece of cloth."

"It looks ordinary, but in fact there is another mystery inside."

After marrying into the county prince's palace, Dou Lianyi never had the chance to wear clothes made of such precious fabrics. She raised her hand and gently stroked these pieces of East China Sea brocade, with a slightly nostalgic look in her eyes.

"Feel it and see if it is as smooth and tender as tofu and as light as feathers. It is the most comfortable to wear."

Bai Zhi stepped forward and touched it gently, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really true!"

And Yuzhu also nodded and responded: "It really feels exactly the same as the clothes the young lady used to wear in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Boss Qin's apology is something I didn't expect," Dou Lianyi frowned slightly, staring at the Donghai Sujin in her hand with a complicated mood, "Bai Zhi, you will follow me to the warehouse later to pick some gifts for Boss Qin. Bar."

"Yes, young lady."

Bai Zhi paused and then asked, "Will the young lady come to the door in person to return the gift this time?"

Dou Lianyi first asked Yuzhu to put away the cloth so that no one who didn't want to do it would see the gossip. Then she raised her hand and rubbed her brows with a headache, revealing the plain silver bracelet on her snow-white wrist.

Fu Qing bought it specially for her a few days ago.

Seeing this, Dou Lianyi had an idea and said to Bai Zhi: "Let Fu Qing send it. This kid is smart and knows what to say and what not to say. Besides, he is my nominal child now, so he doesn't know how to do it." Loss of etiquette and identity.”

At this time, Yuzhu was just about to put the cloth into the back room, but she found a letter falling out of the cloth wrapper. She quickly picked it up and brought it to Dou Lianyi.

"Madam, there is another letter here."

"Let me see."

Dou Lianyi reached out and took it, and when he opened it, there were only a few lines of dragon and phoenix dancing inside.

"If Miss Dou wants to return the favor, Mr. Qin will welcome you at Fengxue Pavilion at any time."

As expected, seeing words was like seeing people. She could almost see Qin Mu's tooth-itching face through these words.

"Young Madam?"

Seeing that Dou Lianyi didn't speak for a long time, Bai Zhi called out softly with some confusion.As a result, Dou Lianyi's cheeks turned slightly red, as if she was angry. She slapped the letter on the table with her backhand and said expressionlessly: "That's all, there's no need to choose a return gift. I think Boss Qin is like this." People don’t need this kind of return gift from us.”

Although they didn't know what was written in the letter that caused Dou Lianyi's sudden change of attitude, Bai Zhi and Yu Zhu still followed the instructions without saying anything more and quietly retreated.

The temperature of the blood swallow on the table was a little cold. Dou Lianyi did not delay any more and put Qin Mu aside for the time being, so as not to affect his appetite.

Since Dou Lianyi guessed that Lu Shangxuan would pester her because of the lack of money in the house's account, she had asked Yuzhu to announce early that she was ill during this period and should not go out to see people.

So when Lu Shangxuan calmed down and appeared outside Dou Lianyi's yard, Yuzhu immediately came out and stopped him directly.

"Master, the young lady has not recovered yet, so she cannot see people for the time being."

"Why is she sick too?"

Lu Shangxuan frowned and asked impatiently.

"In response to the young master, it was probably because the autumn wind blew too much and there was another autumn rain. The young lady herself was not in good health, so she fell ill."

"Have you asked the doctor to come and see you?"

"I've seen it," Yuzhu replied calmly, "The doctor also said so, let the young lady lie in bed quietly for recuperation and try not to catch cold again."

Lu Shangxuan originally wanted to just leave, but when he thought that he had not received the dowry yet, he paused unwillingly and said to Yuzhu: "It's been a few days, it's okay for me to go in and take a look, right?"

"No, please don't make this difficult for me, Master."

No matter how hard Lu Shangxuan tried, Yuzhu firmly blocked the door of the courtyard and refused to let him in.

"Take good care of your young lady, I will come again!"

Seeing this, Lu Shangxuan could only turn away with a dark face and angry brows.

When he was gone, Yuzhu hurried back to the house to report the incident to Dou Lianyi.

"Young madam, you really got it right. The young master really came to find you."

Dou Lianyi in the room was leaning against the window. Hearing this, he just nodded lazily with his chin in his hands.

"He will be coming over these days, just don't let him in."

"Understood, young lady."

In the next few days, Lu Shangxuan came to see Dou Lianyi every day, and he was so attentive that everyone in the prince's palace began to talk about it.

"What's wrong with the young master? I've never seen him care so much about the young lady before."

"That's right, the young master doesn't visit the old lady every day. Could it be that the young lady is really that seriously ill?"

"Who knows? But I heard that there are blood swallows in the young lady's courtyard every day, and even young master Fu Qing has the same good condition."

"What a lucky fate, hey."

After the maids who were talking had gone away, Lu Shangxuan walked out from behind the big tree. He had a gloomy look on his face, obviously having listened to what he just said.

Huang Ying's voice came from behind him, "Master, does the young lady take you seriously? Even the old lady and you are eating ordinary bird's nests. Why should she eat blood every day?" Yan is so luxurious."

"Okay, Lian Niang is sick now. It's normal to take blood swallow to replenish her body."

Lu Shangxuan pursed his lips hard and stared at Dou Lianyi's yard with dark eyes for a long time.

"Master, you are too indulgent of the young lady!"
