Chapter 88 Betrayal
Du Yansui turned her head and said sarcastically, "So what if you recognize it? I don't need to explain anything to you."

Baicao's tears flowed down.

Cen Sanniang sighed: "Young Master Du, Eleven Niang, I have already decided to let her go. As soon as I pass by, I will send them away from Li's house and live on their own. Second Uncle is waiting for me at the restaurant opposite, let's go up .”

Du Jingshu squinted at Baicao, and walked towards the restaurant holding Cen Sanniang's arm: "Sanniang, it's not that I talk too much, you really spoiled the servants..."

Baicao looked at the two people walking towards the restaurant, her mind was in a mess.She seemed to understand suddenly, and squatted on the ground with her bundle in her arms, crying: "Third lady, it turns out that you have tired of your slaves and nurses. You don't want us anymore. No wonder you want to let us go... ..."

"She has done her best to you." Du Yansui was still terrified when he thought that Cen Sanniang was almost burned to death in the reed beach because he went back to save Xu and Baicao.If he hadn't sent the two of them away, even if King Teng didn't kill them, the anger he vented would be enough to toss them to death.

He looked at the backs of Du Jingshu and Cen Sanniang, and seeing the moth with the gold and silver flowers sticking out of her head was distracting, his heart ached like a sharp knife.

Cen Sanniang would not have returned to Li's house if she hadn't cared about these two.He doesn't have to be so difficult.

Those secrets weighed down on his heart like a stone, making him want to get closer to her, but he couldn't even take a step.

Baicao raised her head, seeing the indifference and disgust in Du Yansui's eyes, she couldn't help shivering.The Young Master Kongqing in my memory always has a smile on his face...

Du Yansui sneered: "If I were you, I would persuade Mrs. Xu to keep her mouth shut. Do you think everyone is as soft-hearted as San Niang and cares about the past?"

He stopped looking at Baicao and strode towards the restaurant.

How could the young master of the Du family be the bodyguard next to King Teng?Baicao shivered cleverly, instinctively aware of the strangeness and danger.

By chance, Sanniang took the initiative to teach the girl a lesson on behalf of Cen Sanniang.He then heard that Du Yansui was recognized by Cen Sanniang's girl.Du Jingshu felt suspicious.After greeting Li Shangzhi, he confidently wanted to have a private conversation with Cen Sanniang, so he dragged her to a corner and sat down.

Seeing Du Jingshu's expression of coercing a confession, Cen Sanniang had no choice but to say, "Jingshu, it's not that I want to hide it from you. Didn't your ninth brother also say that he was on a business under the imperial order. I don't dare to make a big fanfare and claim that I knew him before and put him in the dark." The identity at that time was spread.”

This was not what Du Jingshu was curious about, and she asked enthusiastically, "Sanniang, when did you meet my ninth brother? I'm afraid it's not that easy for you two to know each other?"

Cen Sanniang looked up, Du Yansui and Li Shangzhi were talking happily.He finally admitted it today.So, should he also give himself an explanation?Why disappeared for a whole year.Why did I deny it when I saw myself in Leyouyuan.Why didn't he mention the hairpin on his head after seeing him twice?

"Say it quickly!" Du Jingshu was anxious.

Cen Sanniang lowered her eyes: "Didn't he just say that he saved my girl..."

Seeing Cen Sanniang's appearance, Du Jingshu couldn't help being discouraged and said, "Then you have to tell me why my ninth brother saved your girl?"

"The old man of the Qiu family wanted to take Baicao as a concubine, and framed her for breaking Mrs. Qiu's jade bracelet. Seeing the injustice, your ninth brother drew his sword to help her. He quietly rescued her. Knowing that I am a girl from the Li family, the Qiu family came to the door Make an apology, and this matter will be over. Your ninth brother saved someone and left." Cen Sanniang said happily.

Du Jingshu blinked: "Is it that simple?"

Cen Sanniang was serious: "It's that simple."

"and then?"

Cen Sanniang cut off the conversation: "Jingshu, what do you want to know, why not ask him directly."

Du Jingshu pouted: "My ninth brother, he shuts his mouth tighter than a clam shell when he doesn't want to say anything."

Cen Sanniang remembered the night when King Teng burned the reed beach, he came back with a boat, and saw how excited he was.Remembering how he swore he would never leave him unless his limbs were cut off.

Cen Sanniang suddenly felt like a fool.She believed what Du Yansui said.After disappearing for a year, he turned into the ninth son of the Du family.Le Youyuan said that he didn't know him, and when he turned around on the street, he frankly admitted that he had used Kong Qing's name.

In vain for her two lives, how could she trust him so easily?Cen Sanniang's mood faded: "Jingshu, there is really nothing between me and your ninth brother. It's just that I didn't expect my girl to miss your ninth brother. I've been out all day, and I'm a little tired."

Du Jingshu was startled, feeling Cen Sanniang's emotional loss.Thinking of the arrogant girl next to her, she couldn't help persuading: "Sanniang, there are also girls in my room who have served me for many years since I was a child. I treat them very well, but there is a difference between respect and inferiority. There is no rule, and you have to be nice. There is a limit. In the future, if you marry someone else's family to host the middle school, all the servants in the family will be like your girl, how can you manage the house? You can let her go, and buy a few more trainings later. Don't do it for A servant feels depressed."

Cen Sanniang understood what she said.When she came to this world, she opened her eyes and lived in the third room of Cen's family with Xu and Baicao.The three masters and servants are unanimous, and to Cen Sanniang, the three are one.However, the environment has changed now.The Li family treated Cen Sanniang like pearls and treasures, and regarded her as the honorable Miss Sun.Xu's and Baicao's status and thinking have changed.

Cen Sanniang didn't want Xu and Baicao to bow their knees in front of her all the time, she just felt that since I gave them respect and care, why didn't they respect her own opinion, and just blindly acted according to their thoughts .He kept saying it was for her own good, and such loyalty made her sad.

"Jingshu, thank you." Du Jingshu's concern made Cen Sanniang feel warm.

Hearing that Cen Sanniang was tired, Li Shangzhi got up and said goodbye to the Du brothers and sisters.

Cen Sanniang deliberately got closer to Du Yansui, she loosened the hairpin on her head long ago, tilted her head and fell at his feet.

Du Yansui bent down to pick it up very naturally, looked at it, and finally said something Cen Sanniang wanted to know: "This hairpin looks familiar, I seem to have seen the same one before."

Cen Sanniang pretended to be curious: "This is a relic left by my mother. I wonder when Mr. Du saw it?"

She just wanted to find a chance to chat with Du Yansui.If Du Yansui had the heart, he would naturally know how to create opportunities.If he didn't care, Cen Sanniang felt that she could treat him as a stranger in the future.

Du Yansui looked at the hairpin carefully and said: "It's really almost the same, except for the silver moths on the gold and silver flowers. The moths on the branch I've seen are golden."

"There is another hairpin? Where did you see it?" Cen Sanniang said in a broken voice.She never expected that when Du Yansui said she had seen it, she meant that she had seen another hairpin that was exactly the same.

Du Yansui returned the hairpin to her, thought for a while, and said, "This is an inner craftsmanship. I'll go to the Shang Palace Bureau to find out who made it. See if two identical hairpins were made at the same time. Check the imperial gift I will know who to give it to. If there is news, I will let you know."

Cen Sanniang could only bless her and thank her.She suddenly thought that all the things bestowed by the emperor had been made into books. If the hairpin given to Li Jiancheng was in her own hands, wouldn't this identity be suspicious?Du Yansui had seen this hairpin before, but he didn't mention that there was another hairpin at that time.Now that he says this, is there another secret?Is this the reason why he disappeared for a year and returned to Du's house?She glanced at Du Yansui and felt relieved again.He was the one who investigated this matter, so he naturally has a way to cover it up

On the way back to Li's mansion, Baicao was listless.When Cen Sanniang thought about the appearance of another hairpin, all kinds of doubts flooded her mind.He was not in the mood to talk to Baicao either.

After returning to Li's mansion silently, after entering the door, the steward stepped forward: "Third lady, the old lady invites you to go to the study."

Cen Sanniang hummed, and was about to send Baicao back to Zizaiju first.The manager looked at Baicao and said: "The old man asked Baicao to go too."

Cen Sanniang became alert and took Baicao to the study.Seeing no one around in the back room, she stopped: "Baicao, there are some things you can say, and some things you can't. You have to know."

Like a frightened rabbit, Baicao flinched at her and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Seeing this, Cen Sanniang sighed secretly, and continued walking in silence.

After entering the study, she saw Mrs. Xu kneeling on the ground, and it was obvious that she had cried.Mrs. Li sat in the center of the main seat, with an uncertain expression.Cen Sanniang frowned, stepped forward and saluted, "Grandfather, but the nanny made a mistake? Please forgive her for the sake of serving her granddaughter wholeheartedly."

"Kneel down!" Mrs. Li said casually.

Cen Sanniang's knees softened and she knelt on the ground, and Baicao also knelt down.Cen Sanniang asked Xu with a face full of fear: "What did mother do to make grandfather angry?"

Xu did not dare to look at her, and lowered her head evasively.

Mrs. Li sneered and said: "It is you who have done something good and are still deceiving this old man!"

The door was gently closed.For some reason, Cen Sanniang thought about meeting Mrs. Li in this study on the first day she entered Li's residence.

Grandfather must have heard what Xu said when he asked such a question.What can Xu say?Cen Sanniang had various thoughts in her mind, turned her head to look at Xu Shi and said, "I thought it was my mother who made some mistake and wanted to intercede for my mother. I didn't expect that it was my mother who came to my grandfather to sue three times. Mother-in-law."
