Chapter 131
The servant immediately replied: "Responding to the eldest lady's words, the servant Xiyan, thanks to the persistence of the eldest lady and the second lady, is able to serve the master."

Su Ruiran nodded slightly, then turned her attention to the box in her hand, and couldn't help asking: "What's in it?"

Xi Yan hurriedly replied: "Returning to the eldest lady, this is a pair of fine brocade hibiscus and Tian jade hairpins specially selected by the second lady, and I specially asked the servants to send them to the eldest lady."

Su Ruiran only glanced at the box in Xiyan's hand, Yin He immediately understood, took the box from Xiyan, and then opened it directly in front of Su Ruiran.Sure enough, there was a pair of Hetian jade hairpins in the box. The petals carved from red jade and hibiscus jade were delicately wrapped around two peonies. Each petal is no more than the thickness of a fingernail, and its size is slightly smaller than a fingernail, but each petal is carved in a different shape.Some are curled together, and some are stretched out by the wind.In the center of the flower, the pistil is made of gold thread piercing through the golden beads the size of a grain of rice, which is more delicate.

Yin He was very repulsive when he first heard that the second lady sent something, and he was also afraid that the second lady would use this trick to frame the young lady again.But when she saw the hosta in the box, even she couldn't help but feel moved.

How many women in the world can bear to reject such a good thing?
Surprise flashed across Su Ruiran's face, but she quickly reached out and took out one of the jade hairpins from the box.

Yin He was a little surprised, but it was too late to stop her, so he could only stare at Su Ruiran's hand holding the hairpin, still looking at her face, looking very nervous.

What is completely different from her is that Su Ruiran is holding the hairpin in front of her and looking at it at the moment, with a leisurely look, as if she is really admiring the peonies blooming in the courtyard in spring.But only a moment later, she put the hairpin back again, but she couldn't help but praise: "It really is an excellent thing, and it's hard for my sister to give it up."

Hearing her words, Xi Yan immediately said: "It's good that the eldest miss likes it. The second miss said that she and the eldest miss are deeply in love with each other. Naturally, they should share the blessings, so there is nothing to be willing or not. As long as the eldest If Miss can understand her intentions, Second Miss will already feel satisfied."

"My sister is like this, how can I not understand her intentions?" Su Ruiran smiled slightly, "It's just that I'm not all that willing. If I remember correctly, this hairpin should belong to the second mother."

Xiyan's face changed slightly when she heard the words, but before she could speak, Su Ruiran continued: "Now the second mother is alone, and the younger sister stays in the mansion but she can't see her, and this pair of Jinse Furong and Tian Yu are in the hairpin. Erniang's very precious thing, but it's a pity that she didn't take it with her when she left the Prime Minister's residence. If I were my younger sister, I would keep it by my side as a thought, so why would I give it away so easily?"

When Yan Shi left, although her father did not explicitly order her to be too harsh on her luggage, but he secretly ordered the servants in the underground to not let her take away any good things so easily.Don't dare to say anything else, this pair of hairpins is Yan's treasure, and she has never seen her wear them on weekdays unless she is attending formal occasions.I still remember that a servant girl accidentally dropped a golden bead on a stamen and was beaten half to death by her and kicked out of the mansion.

So when Yan Shi was packing her luggage, she specifically told her not to let her take this pair of hairpins away.

However, all the things Yan left behind were also left in her room, and she never touched anything, just to avoid being talked about.

Regardless of how Su Yanran got it, if she is willing to give this pair of hairpins to herself now, it will inevitably make people suspect her purpose.

Tiny beads of sweat began to ooze from Xiyan's forehead, she rolled her eyes from side to side, looked panic-stricken, and said after a while: "This servant is just ordered to deliver something, and I dare not speculate on what the second lady is thinking. But this servant can I am sure that the Second Miss asked the servants to bring things here because of her sisterly friendship with the Eldest Miss. The Second Miss has always regretted what happened in the past, so I hope that the Eldest Miss can give the Second Miss a chance to reform herself."

This servant is quite clever, so Su Yanran must have taught her these words.However, it is really not easy to say that it is the master's intention and shirk responsibility for oneself.But as Xi Yan said, even if Su Yanran was slapped by herself, would she continue to please her and pretend to surrender?Even as a show of sincerity, he did not hesitate to give such a precious thing.

Thinking of this, Su Ruiran suddenly raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile expression.

Xiyan knelt on the ground and waited for a long time but the eldest lady did not speak. She couldn't help being nervous, her hands were tightly pulling on the cuffs, and her body was also tense and stiff due to tension.

After coming back for a while, Su Ruiran finally heard Su Ruiran say: "So that's the case, then you go back and tell your sister, I understand her heart."

Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, she couldn't help showing joy, and hurriedly said: "My servant understands, thank you Miss."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ruiran said again: "But you can't just go back empty-handed, Yin He, you take her to see Wang Momo, and let Wang Momo still send a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. "

"Yes." Yin He obeyed and walked to Xi Yan's side.

Seeing her approaching him, Xiyan was also alert, and immediately saluted Su Ruiran again, and said: "My servant thanked the eldest lady on behalf of the second lady, and this servant will leave."

Su Ruiran nodded slightly, indicating that she could get up.But who knew that Xiyan didn't have the slightest intention of leaving immediately, and then said to Su Ruiran: "There is one more thing, and it was also what the second lady told the eldest lady to listen to when the servant girl came."

Unexpectedly, she still had something to say, Su Ruiran couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but quickly said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xi Yan looked at her face, and said cautiously: "Second Miss said, she has reported today's matter to the master in advance, just after returning to the prime minister's mansion today. The master is busy with work these days, and at the same time, Miss, you have to Taking care of the affairs of the mansion, so the young lady doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore, for the sake of the young lady's health, I also ask the young lady not to go to the master's place in the near future."

Xiyan was even more cautious when she said the last few words, feeling that the atmosphere around her was a little tense, and she was afraid that if she was not careful, she would offend the eldest lady.Although these words did not come from her mouth, and she was just a servant who came to pass on the message, it is too obvious that the fire at the city gate caused the fish in the pond.

Su Ruiran was silent for a while when she heard the words. She didn't know that her father has been busy with affairs recently, and she asked him to see him today but was rejected.But now, considering what Xi Yan said, my father must have heard about the Prince De's Mansion from Su Yanran at that time, so when I went to see him, I felt that there was no need to listen to myself again.Thinking about it this way, the previous doubts I had before became clear. Presumably, what Su Yanran said about the palace's affairs must also be avoiding the most important and neglecting those that are not good for her.

And the reason why she gave herself this pair of jade hairpins was probably not only to curry favor, but also to prevent herself from provoking matters about the palace in front of her father.

Thinking of this, her eyes fell on Xiyan again, and said to her: "I know, since my sister has already told me for me, I should also be lazy and save a lot of effort."

Xiyan was completely relieved when she heard the words. When she said this earlier, she was worried that the eldest lady would be angry and scold herself, and then flatly refused.But if he didn't do it well, there would be no good fruit for the second lady when he went back.It's really a dilemma, and every step is difficult, but fortunately, the eldest lady agreed.

She immediately resigned and left with Yin He to find Wang Momo.

After a while, Yin He finally came back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the young lady playing with the pair of jade hairpins by herself, she was startled, and hurried over to snatch the jade hairpins from the young lady's hand, and put them back into the box Li, with a nervous face, said: "Miss, please don't touch this thing."

Seeing her appearance, Su Ruiran couldn't help smiling, and said, "Why are you so nervous? It's been like this since just now, is it possible that I'm afraid that Su Yanran will poison the hairpin? She sent someone to bring it to me. It can be found that it was her hands and feet, she is not that stupid."

Although Xin knew that what Miss said was reasonable, Yin He was still worried: "But even if it's not poisoning, if something else comes out, it's enough for us to suffer. I still think it's better to be careful." .”

"Yes, yes, yes, I just listen to what you say." Su Ruiran covered the box containing the jade hairpin while talking, then handed the box to Yin He, and said to her, "Since you are so worried, then this thing I will leave it to you for safekeeping, so you can finally rest assured."

Yin He took the brocade box and held it in his hand, but couldn't help asking: "However, I don't know why the young lady follows the second young lady's arrangement, and why the young lady doesn't directly explain the affairs of the palace to the master. If the master knows about the second young lady Miss's actions will definitely punish her severely."

Knowing that Yin He would have such doubts, Su Ruiran replied: "How to clarify? It's just that our words are unfounded and there is no definite evidence. So even if Dad believed me, he would not punish Su Yanran severely for this, on the contrary He will also scare the snake. Knowing this, I might as well sell her a favor, so that she can relax her vigilance."

Yin He suddenly realized when he heard this, but soon couldn't help but asked again: "Miss, there is still one thing I don't know about this servant, why does the lady ask Mother Wang to send osmanthus cakes to the second lady these days? The servant didn't listen either. When asked how the second young lady was doing after eating, the servant asked Mother Wang but she didn’t say anything, and asked the servant to ask the young lady.”

Su Ruiran couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, it seems that Wang Momo intends to betray Yin He.

Seeing her smiling but not answering, Yin He became even more curious, and couldn't help pestering her: "Miss, don't hold back your appetite, tell this servant quickly."

"This is..."

Yin He opened his eyes wide, waiting for her answer very intently.

However, Su Ruiran suddenly changed the topic and said to her: "You will know when the time comes."

At night, the hustle and bustle dissipated and the lights gradually went out.

Su Ruiran was lying on the bed in her pajamas, her untied long hair scattered around the pillow like water plants.
