There was still some time before dinner, Xue Zhao and Pu Yangxuan went to the study to talk, while Xue Jinyi chatted with the old lady.

Xue Fangyi's face was very ugly, and she left angrily under the pretext of taking care of her mother.

Xue Jinyi saw that Chen Jingyao was also leaving, so she stopped her, "Cousin, I brought a gift for you." ”

Chen Jingyao put on a smiling face and took a brocade box from Qinglan's hand, "Thank you, Princess Chu." ”

"At home, call me cousin as usual." Xue Jinyi picked up another box, "The last time I saw my cousin's gold and jade bracelet, I actually missed it a little, so I don't know if I can exchange it with my cousin?" ”

As she spoke, she opened the box, and then saw a greedy and amazing light flashing in Chen Jingyao's eyes.

Inside the box is a pair of pearl hairpins, precious stones and jade to form a beautiful hibiscus flower shape, most suitable for teenage girls, and more valuable than the pair of gold and jade bracelets.

The first few times they met, she had already found that Chen Jingyao had no valuable hairpins.

The jade bracelet is generally hidden in the sleeve, how can you see it clearly?

She clearly knew that she was a person who paid more attention to her appearance before she crossed over, especially when she interacted with a girl like Xue Fangyi, who grew up in a rich and splendid country, she was more likely to have low self-esteem and urgently needed something valuable to give her confidence.

Blinking, Chen Jingyao calmed down and looked at Xue Jinyi suspiciously.

Why is she obsessed with those pair of gold and jade bracelets? It is said that among so many dowries, there must be more valuable and gorgeous jewelry than gold and jade bracelets, right?

Xue Jinyi smiled and accepted Chen Jingyao's scrutiny, which made Chen Jingyao uncertain.

"Is that okay, cousin?" Xue Jinyi asked.

"My cousin likes those bracelets, and I think I should give them to you." Chen Jingyao pretended to be polite.

Xue Jinyi said: "How embarrassing is it to accept your cousin's gift for nothing?" ”

Chen Jingyao smiled and accepted the bead hairpin, "I went to get the bracelet and gave it to my cousin." ”

Xue Jinyi was surprised, "Wouldn't it be better to tell the maid to get it?" ”

"It's a valuable thing to me, only I know where to put it." Chen Jingyao owed, "Cousin, I'll go back when I go." ”

Xue Jinyi looked at her back, it seemed that what she brought to this world was really more than just gold and jade bracelets, and she wanted to go with her to see what else she was carefully hiding.

She straightened the shawl on her arm, and was calm.

The more Chen Jingyao interacts with Xue Fangyi, the higher her pursuit will be in material terms.

The Chen family is unreliable, and the grandfather's family looks average, otherwise they would not have come to Sun Suci.

When a person has a pursuit, she will be able to do things.

Compared with what she was going to do, finding out Chen Jingyao was a trivial matter, she was not too anxious, after all, the body of that world was dead, and it was impossible to travel back, just to untie a knot.

Not long after, Chen Jingyao came back with a gold-inlaid jade bracelet, Xue Jinyi put it on her wrist directly, and felt that she had lost it and regained, and said with a smile: "Cousin, thank you for your willingness to change, I want to come and we are also fated, and we will often come and go in the future?" ”

Chen Jingyao looked at Xue Jinyi's face, she couldn't see the disguise, she couldn't figure out anything from that simple face, it was said that they were not related by blood, and her relationship with Xue Fangyi was not good, why did she have to deal with her?

At this time, Old Madam Xue turned her head to talk to Xue Jinyi, she couldn't interject, and took this opportunity to quietly withdraw.

When she came out, she saw Wei Guogong and the King of Chu coming from a distance.

After a few days of correspondence with Xue Fangyi, she knew that the ancestor of the king of Chu was a criminal minister of the previous dynasty, so he was not liked by the emperor, and his biological mother died for many years without a name, which does not mean that the king of Chu should not interact with court officials, otherwise it is easy to arouse the emperor's suspicion and kill himself?

Therefore, Xue Fangyi took advantage of her uncle's matchmaking to contact someone to make a stumbling block for the King of Chu today, but she never thought that it would not succeed.

Now the king of Chu and Wei Guogong are close to each other, although they are father-in-law and son-in-law, but in order to avoid suspicion, they shouldn't be like this, right?

What are they having?

Chen Jingyao was thinking about it, and coldly found that King Chu's gaze swept over.

There was at least a distance of four or five feet, but she still felt the biting cold.

Thinking of the pampering and warmth in the eyes that King Chu had seen with her own eyes looking at Xue Jinyi before, she even suspected that she was schizophrenic - how could such a completely different expression appear on the same face?

For a moment, a trace of jealousy spread in her heart.

Before coming to the capital, the aunt bullied their orphans and widows, and wanted to tell her to her mother's concubine, who was not only stupid and fat like a pig, but also had a bad hobby, and married without ruining her life? She persuaded the indecisive Mrs. Chen to defect to the Weiguo Mansion in the capital, also to see who the "Xue Jinyi" in the mouth of the elders was.

Before the crossing, she made a lot of efforts, but it was Xue Jinyi who gained both fame and fortune, and she lived a thousand times better than her.

After crossing over, except for the fact that King Chu's biological mother was not very good, the prince's title, handsome and smooth appearance, and his love for that Miss Xue were all better than her.

Why?

Chen Jingyao clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and hurriedly left before the King of Chu and Wei Guogong came over.

Pu Yangxuan noticed the girl with a somewhat abnormal look, and remembered the portrait brought by her subordinates, she seemed to be Chen Jingyao, who was the person Ah Jin asked him to check before.

He felt an inexplicable hatred in Chen Jingyao's eyes.

Puyang Xuan didn't show any abnormality, and returned to the main hall with Xue Zhao, and the family had a lively dinner.

After drinking and eating, Xue Zhao announced one thing, "In five days, I will leave for Lingzhou." ”

Old Madam Xue was a little surprised, "Why do you want to go back so soon?" ”

Xue Zhao said: "Lingzhou is located in the frontier, and the barbarians have always been eyeing each other, and the border defense should not be neglected. I'm not here, and I'm a little worried. ”

Old Madam Xue looked at everyone and sighed: "Keeping two more people will be the day when Fangyi gets married." ”

"State affairs are paramount." Xue Zhao looked like he was doing business.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Old Madam Xue nodded.

Xue Zhao arched his hand, "Fangyi's marriage is all in charge of my mother." ”

"Fangyi is my own granddaughter, as it should be." Old Madam Xue smiled faintly.

Everyone listened to the conversation between the mother and son, silent, and no one spoke.

The banquet was dispersed, and Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan got into the carriage and returned to the palace.

Just as she was about to leave, Mother Yang hurriedly caught up, stood by the window and whispered, "Miss Jin, the slave has something to say to you." ”

"What's the matter?"

Qinglan lifted half of the curtain, and Xue Jinyi's voice came from inside.

Mother Yang looked back, "Miss, I don't know if you remember that the maids in the house suddenly changed their names ten years ago. ”

"Huh?" Of course, Xue Jinyi didn't know that there was such a thing.

"At that time, except for the rough ones, the maids were not called any clouds, they were changed ten years ago." Mother Yang thought she was young at the time, so she didn't remember, "Later, Mrs. went to Baiyun Temple once and said that she wanted to make a good relationship, so she changed the second character of most of the maids' names to the word cloud. In fact, this is not the case at all! ”

Xue Jinyi felt strange, "What? ”

Mother Yang said indignantly, "Because Miss Jin, your biological mother's name is Bai Yu, and Mrs. hates her, so she changed the names of the maids to humiliate her!" ”
