Concubine's true colors

Chapter 91 Visiting Shen
On the rosewood tea table, a cup of red plum tea, steaming, was quietly placed there.

The cup of tea was completely cold until it was put away, Xiao Jinxuan who was sitting by the side still didn't take a sip.

But now, she just looked at the envelope that had been torn in half in a daze, without saying a word.

Accompanied by Bai Shu, she looked at Xiao Jinxuan distressedly, since she just came back from outside the mansion, she has looked like this for convenience.

When she was in Jude Restaurant, she and Wen Xin were guarding outside the door, and Bai Shu had vaguely heard a few words about Zhou Xianrui's conversation in the room, so she knew that her young lady was probably trapped by love.

And now Xiao Jinxuan was really upset. Subconsciously, she really wanted to open the letter and find out more about Zhou Xianyu's current situation.

But rationality told her that she shouldn't be so inseparable. Since the two are destined to have no relationship, why bother to be unclear, which will only add to the trouble.

Looking at this letter, Zhou Xianyu's sinister smile, lazy voice, rebellious character, and the scent of golden orchids all over his body would naturally appear in Xiao Jinxuan's mind.

Just when her thoughts fell into the scenes of each other in Yangzhou, the sound of knocking on the door outside brought her thoughts back to reality.

Then I saw Zhu Xin, coming from outside, and said:
"Miss, Miss Jinyu is here, I see her expression is not good, I'm afraid there must be nothing good, do you want to see her?"

Hearing this, Jinxuan got up and fetched a jujube box, put the letter in it flat and put it away, calmed down, and then said softly:

"My sister is here, how can I refuse the door, please come in, I am also curious why she came here."

After a while, Xiao Jinyu was invited in, but as soon as he entered the room, the other party had a bad face, glared at Xiao Jinxuan, and then handed a brocade box in front of her.

"Fourth Sister's heart is really dark enough. You actually want me 600 taels of silver for such a pair of earrings. This lady is not rare now, so I will return it to you. Hurry up and show me the previous paperwork."

Xiao Jinxuan reached out to pick up the brocade box, and then glanced at Xiao Jinyu with a smile.

"One hour ago, my sister bought this earring from my younger sister at three times the price. Why did you change your mind when you returned to the house now? The written statement that was made at that time was written by my sister herself. It's okay if you don't want it." , but the silver taels cannot be less, and I hope that my sister will send the 600 taels of silver to my Lisanthia courtyard soon."

When Xiao Jinyu heard this, she was so angry that she almost tore the brocade handkerchief in her hand.

Just an hour ago, when Xiao Jinyu was fighting for the earrings, she nearly fell down, but after being rescued by Qian Yunhong, her heart fluttered even more.

Therefore, she was even more afraid of losing face in front of the other party, so she was bound to get that pair of earrings.

So when Xiao Jinxuan asked her to pay three times the price to buy it and asked to make a written statement, Xiao Jinxuan agreed without hesitation.

In her opinion, being able to spend so much money in front of Qian Yunhong is a very glorious thing, and this can show that she has the demeanor and magnanimity of a young lady from the handsome mansion.

But if she is too proud, accidents will always happen. Xiao Jinxuan left contentedly after getting the paperwork.

But when Xiao Jinyu asked the owner of Bao Qingzhai about the price of the earrings, he realized that the pair of earrings in his hand cost 200 taels of silver.

At that time, if Qian Yunhong hadn't left yet, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but stepped forward to question the boss, but he was blackmailing her.

You must know that Xiao Jinyu has the property that Xiao Heng left her, and there is indeed no shortage of money, but even so, 200 taels is not a small amount.

You must know that in the Shuai Mansion, she can receive Fengyin every month, and her monthly Fengyin is only 50 taels, which means that the humble earrings in front of her actually cost her four months of Fengyin. money.

Then she thought that the document she had just signed was to buy the earrings at three times the price, so she would have to pay Xiao Jinxuan 600 taels of silver.

Even if Xiao Jinyu had plenty of money from her own house, it was not a small sum for her, and she was so distressed that she wanted to cry without tears.

It just so happened that Qian Yunhong wanted to send her back home in person, so along the way, Xiao Jinyu pretended to be indifferent to show her financial strength and tolerance, but her heart was almost choked with internal injuries.

So as soon as she returned to the mansion, she immediately rushed to the Forsythias Courtyard, wanting to return this pair of sky-high priced earrings to Xiao Jinxuan.

Anyway, in front of Qian Yunhong, she already had enough face, and this pair of earrings, which she didn't like very much, was of course useless to her, so Xiao Jinyu wanted to get back the written documents, and was ready to turn her face and deny it.

But now, Xiao Jinxuan actually said that the earrings can be returned, but the silver must also be taken out, and she has no intention of returning the paperwork to her at all, so Xiao Jinyu will quit now.

She sneered and said, "Fourth sister, when my sister speaks kindly to you, you'd better be sensible, otherwise if I sue my grandmother, saying that you blackmailed me and competed with me for things in Baoqingzhai , based on my grandmother's love for me, you should know what the consequences will be for you."

Seeing Xiao Jinyu's current appearance, he is no longer as dignified and gentle as when he was in front of others. This ugly appearance that shows his true colors is really annoying to watch.

Xiao Jinxuan raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jinyu, she didn't listen to the other party's threatening words at all, but raised her eyebrows indifferently, and took a sip of tea comfortably.

"What my sister said is that after my grandmother finds out, I'm afraid she will punish me to kneel in the small Buddhist hall again, but now the small Buddhist hall is being repaired, and when Jinxuan is punished after it is repaired, she will definitely invite her sister to accompany her. Accompany, if there is a fire at that time, sister, remember to run fast, don't just focus on watching the show and get trapped inside, what will happen then."

"You..." Pointing at Xiao Jinxuan, Xiao Jinyu was so angry that she couldn't speak.

But Xiao Jinxuan's smiling face suddenly withdrew, her expression was cold, and she raised her hand directly, pointing the finger at her, and patted her aside.

"I don't like being pointed at. It's better for my sister to correct this problem next time. As for whether you want to go to grandma's debt, that's up to you. I'm in Lianqiaoyuan, waiting for grandma to summon me." Yes."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed, and then she continued slowly:
"However, if grandma asks about today's affairs, my younger sister does not suggest. Tell grandma about how you were hugged by the young lord, and you were unwilling to separate for a long time under the eyes of everyone. You should also talk to grandma about it. Compared with the 600 taels of silver, my grandmother must be more interested in these things. When my sister tells the story to people in the house, everyone will definitely talk about my sister's national beauty. Even the young master will fall in love with her. At that time, my sister-in-law's reputation in the capital is going to be improved to a higher level."

Looking at the concubine in front of her, Xiao Jinyu suddenly felt a chill running down her back. The other party's words were in a calm manner, but every word was actually threatening her.

As a woman, virtue is the last thing that should be lost. Today, she and Qian Yunhong hugged each other and talked with each other. If it was really spread, her boudoir name would be ruined.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Jinyu's arrogance immediately weakened, and he said in a flattering tone:
"Why should my sister be angry? My sister was playing with you just now. Isn't it just 600 taels of silver? I'll ask Baoge to send it over in a while. As for this pair of earrings, since my sister took a fancy to them first, then it's fine." Stay here, I'm a big sister and I can't argue with you, but what happened in Baoqingzhai today..."

Seeing Xiao Jinyu subdued in front of her, Xiao Jinxuan snorted and said:
"Have I seen my sister in Baoqingzhai today? We didn't go out of the house together, and we never met."

Although the blood in his heart hurts, Xiao Jinyu was still very satisfied when he heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, he hurriedly smiled and agreed repeatedly, and then left in despair.

As for the promised silver taels, Xiao Jinyu sent them as expected, and she did not dare to spare a single cent, but that is another story.

After talking about Xiao Jinxuan, after sending Xiao Jinyu away, he handed the two brocade earring boxes to Bai Shu, got up and said:
"It's still early, follow me to Second Aunt's Changxinyuan, and bring two urns of plum blossom tea by the way, let's pay a visit."

Shen Chuyun likes tranquility, so the location of Changxin Courtyard is very remote, but coincidentally, Lianqiao Courtyard is also located in a secluded location, on the contrary, there is only a garden separated from Changxin Courtyard, so after walking a few steps, Xiao Jinxuan arrived at Shen's yard.

Shen Chuyun's personal maid, Siru, came out to welcome her, and after asking about her intentions, she hurriedly invited Xiao Jinxuan into the room.

As soon as she entered Shen's room, Xiao Jinxuan smelled a strong smell of medicine, and then she saw that the second aunt was half leaning on the bed, coughing and drinking a bowl of soup as black as ink.

Looking at the other person's face, which was paler and haggard than when they met last time, Xiao Jinxuan stepped forward a few steps, sat on the edge of the bed, and said worriedly:
"Second Aunt, you are so sick, you should ask grandma to invite the imperial physician to give you a good diagnosis and treatment. If the decoction doesn't work, you should replace it with a new medicine as soon as possible.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan coming, Mrs. Shen wanted to speak, but she kept coughing non-stop. It took half a cup of tea before she could utter a complete sentence.

"It's Jinxuan who's here. You've been doing well in the house recently. I'm such a long-term sick person. If you come to see me, what can I do to make you sick."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan smiled and shook her head, and hurriedly said: "What did Auntie say? Thanks to Auntie's words of help last time, Jinxuan can now continue to live in the mansion safely. I should have come to see you earlier, but I didn't find anything If you get the right gift, it’s better not to come empty-handed.”

When Shen heard the words, she smiled weakly: "It's good that you have this kind of heart, take everything back, I don't need anything with my appearance."

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Shen's weak but kind appearance, and suddenly felt a little sad in her heart. For some reason, she thought of her biological mother, Yang.

Although before leaving, she and Yang Shi had a very unpleasant quarrel, but after all, it is a mother-daughter bond. Looking at the second aunt who is similar to Yang Shi's age, Xiao Jinxuan was thinking, now that she is not by Yang Shi's side, if the other party also If she is ill, will she be like Shen Shi, depressed and lonely?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help frowning and said: "Second aunt, Jinxuan is in this handsome mansion, you saw that day, grandma doesn't want to see me, sister doesn't get close to me, I'm actually just a lonely person, When I have free time in the future, can I come to your place often, seeing you reminds me of my mother."

What she said was sincere, and even the circles of her eyes were slightly reddened. Shen Shi was originally a quiet person who didn't want to be disturbed. Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was like this, she couldn't bear it, so she agreed with a smile, and asked her to come and play often.

On this day, Xiao Jinxuan returned to the Forsythia Courtyard very late, and even had dinner at Shen's, and with Xiao Jinxuan's company, it was rare for Shen to eat two more bowls of rice, and even dragged Xiao Jinxuan, talking for a long time Conversation, only to send the other party to leave in person.

Since then, Xiao Jinxuan has been a frequent visitor of Changxin Hospital, and she will go to accompany Shen for a while when she is busy. Although the two are not related by blood, they have found the warmth of relatives in each other. The relationship is even more like a mother and daughter, caring about each other.
