The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 17 It happened for a reason
She stopped for a while and laughed when she heard the voice. Mother He raised her eyes to look at the end of the corridor, and said softly: "It's my aunt who is back."

Li Chaochao straightened the cloak on his body and walked forward happily, when he heard the little woman's voice continue, she was smiling and said: "In the past, Miss Lan Er didn't have the bearing she has now. Hiding behind my sister timidly, it's really a girl's eighteenth change."

The person who spoke was wearing a moon-white embroidered gown, and because he believed in Buddhism, he only wore a string of coral bracelets on his bright wrists. This person is the little aunt of the Li family. She moved back to her mother's house after her husband died two years ago. , has a very forthright personality, but she is outspoken but not very popular with others. As for what she just said just now, Miss Lan Er's face can't be kept on her face. Not everyone likes to listen to the truth.

Li Chaochao felt that this alien from the Li family was very congenial to him, but unfortunately, the eldest lady didn't like the little aunt in the past, and she didn't even have much contact with her.

The little aunt saw a graceful girl walking in the corridor, and she laughed again, "But Xiao Wu from the big house is here?"

All eyes were on the woman who came to the central ceremony again. She was wearing old clothes, her hair was meticulously combed with double rings, and she had two pearl earrings of poor quality on her ears. Other than that, she had nothing else jewelry.

Li Chaochao leaned down to the bottom and saluted the person above him, "I have seen my mother, Mrs. Lan, and the sisters are well."

Da Furen's face did not show a gratified smile because she changed into her usual attire, she saw Madam Lan's flash of disappointment from the corner of her eye, and knew that she was dissatisfied with Xiao Wu, and she felt even more depressed.

Madam Lan was thinking at this time: Li Chaochao's attire is really ordinary and a bit shabby, not to mention inferior to her own concubine daughters, even several respectable maidservants in Li's mansion are better than her, Da Furen actually wants to casually dress up. It's ridiculous to send an unfavored concubine to marry in.

She smiled lightly on her face, "The daughter Mrs. Li brought up is really excellent, she looks very elegant and lovely."

The little aunt at the side pursed her lips without saying a word, but she didn't think so. Among the few women present today, the most outstanding one was of course the prostitute daughter of the Lan Mansion, who had the air of a noble daughter, followed by her own daughter. The nieces in the house are dressed in a cool and elegant way, and they look arrogant, and the concubines over there are also rich and noble, but although Xiao Wu's clothes are not as good as theirs, her temperament is a bit elegant and refined, which makes people feel comfortable to look at.

The eldest lady couldn't react immediately, she just asked Li Chaochao to sit down beside her, took her hand and patted her, "Although your elder sister should dress more elegantly when she is gone, Mrs. Lan and your two older sisters When you come to the house as a guest, you should also dress decently, otherwise you will lose your manners."

The hand she put under the handkerchief pinched Li Chaochao fiercely, with hints in her eyes, Li Chaochao smiled calmly and said, "Mother taught me the right thing, but Chaochao never likes to wear gold and silver. Madam Lan, please don't take offense."

The second girl over there, Lan Baonuo, whispered to the first sister: "Hmph, who knows if that is true, maybe there is no such jewelry at all."

Lan Baoliu glared secretly, and warned her not to talk too much.

Lan Baonuo's voice was not too loud, it was hidden in the tone of the actors on the stage, but it was still heard by the caring Li Chaochao, who couldn't help thinking that in the last life, these two girls from the Lan family fought against her a lot, and even this From time to time, she looks at the incomparably dignified Mrs. Lan, and she is also a pungent person when she treats her daughter-in-law in the back house.

Just as he was thinking, a little maid came up to refill the teacups of the guests, only to hear a jingle sound, everyone turned their heads to look over, and saw Lan Baonuo picking up the cup, lifting the tea cover with bare hands, the wide cuffs of the Luo shirt were smooth As her smooth skin slid off, a small lotus root arm was exposed, and on her white wrist was a twisted silk double-button dragon and phoenix bracelet.

The bracelet is made of red gold twisted silk, but there are a dragon and a phoenix interlocking on it. The eyes of the dragon and the phoenix are carved out of rubies, which are dazzling in the warm sun. The golden bells made a crisp sound when they collided, as if they were made by nature. It is amazing that its craftsmanship is exquisite, and even if you have money, you can't buy it.

The big girl over there narrowed her eyes, concealing her slight dissatisfaction, but she still picked up the cup at hand and sipped it with a smile. At this moment, Li Manman's complexion changed again and again, all the dissatisfaction in her heart was hanging on her face, It's so deceiving that even a concubine of the Lan family wears such an expensive bracelet!

Not to mention that Li Manman is a concubine who doesn't have such good jewelry, but she is usually arrogant and has a top-notch temper in everything. Seeing this situation, she just feels that she has been swept away by a concubine. Naturally, I can't get angry.

The little aunt let out an ouch for fear that the world would not be chaotic, and praised: "Miss Lan Er, this bracelet is really beautiful, where did you buy it?"

Lan Baonuo pretended to smile shyly, "My mother loves me and ordered someone to make it for me."

"I said why I've never seen such an exquisite bracelet before." My aunt's eyes narrowed, and she clicked her tongue, "Mrs. Lan is not only generous, she also treats concubine daughters as her own. She really teaches well."

The words of my aunt's grandma made the eldest lady's face turn ashen. These two people have never dealt with each other. Back then, when my aunt and grandma wanted to move into Yixue Pavilion, the first lady's place, the eldest lady stopped her and let Li Chaochao live in. They This is the end of the beam.

At this moment, Chunxi, the maidservant next to the eldest lady, saw that no one was paying attention, and stepped forward to serve tea to Li Chaochao, and said cautiously, "Fifth Miss, please drink tea."

Seeing the flash of light in her eyes, Li Chaochao knew that the fox's tail was finally about to show. She had been waiting for a long time for the main event of the church, and it came just in time.

Chunxi stepped forward to bring over the tea, Li Chaochao watched as her hand trembled almost invisibly, a stream of light flashed in her sleeve, the teacup was tilted slightly, and the boiling water in the cup was about to splash on her, but was caught by her. One step ahead, he raised his hand violently, and overturned the cup of tea on the face of the person opposite.

Suddenly, there was a tearing scream, and everyone looked sideways, and saw a big maid whose face was flushed red from the boiling water, fell to the ground and moaned in pain, obviously in extreme pain.

"Chao Chao, what are you doing?"

Da Furen's anger suddenly surged up, her eyes widened in rage, Li Chaochao repeated over and over again, humiliating her, and now she still dares to hurt her!

Look at how she skinned the little bitch!

Chun Xi, who was lying on the ground, faintly heard the madam asking angrily, suppressed the pain, and knelt up on the ground, with a few pieces of tea leaves stuck to her disheveled face, and walked forward on her knees, before Li Chaochao could speak. , holding Cao's thigh and weeping bitterly: "Ma'am, I don't know where I offended the fifth girl, but she is so cruel to the slave, you have to be the master of the slave..."
