Concubine's true colors

Chapter 269 Strange Bracelet

Thinking of his younger brother who was only ten years old, he was punished to kneel on the cold ground for several hours because of Yang's so-called adopted daughter.

And this younger brother will be punished for protecting the old attic where she used to live. Thinking of this, Xiao Jinxuan felt even more uncomfortable.

Putting Meng Liangjun's letter away again, she couldn't help holding Xiao Wenyao's copybook in her hands again.

Touching the slender fingertips, the ink-stained handwriting seemed to be able to alleviate Xiao Jinxuan's worry and longing for her younger brother.

And after reading the letter, Xiao Jinxuan also made up her mind, anyway, the only person in Yangzhou who worried her was Xiao Wenyao.

Now that she is in the capital, although the pressure from all directions is not small, she has already gained a firm foothold in the handsome mansion.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan had to bring her younger brother to her side and take care of him personally so that she could rest assured.

And after all, Changping is an important place in the capital, Xiao Wenyao can have a better development here, study in a better school, and the opportunities will be greater in the future.

As for the Yang family, Xiao Jinxuan is really cold-hearted now. Although the other party is her biological mother, she regards her as a disaster and an old enemy.

He would even rather be kind to a adopted daughter who has no blood relationship than to write her a letter from home.

Therefore, since the other party wanted so much to be in power in Yangzhou, the small Xiao Mansion, then she would let this biological mother do whatever she wanted.

Although their mother and daughter have not reached the point of severing their relationship, there is not much left of the mother-daughter relationship.

As for Xiao Heng, Xiao Jinxuan's heart knot in her previous life was opened when she was leaving in Yangzhou, and she also knew that this father was just not very good at expressing his concern.

In addition, she had too much low self-esteem in her previous life, resulting in no interaction between father and daughter at all. Therefore, until the moment of her death, her father, who was working far away from Beijing, had never cared for her once.

But in this life, with the father and daughter, they cooperated with each other in the matter of Yangzhou Xuebing, and with the increase in communication, the lost and unfamiliar family relationship was gradually found back.

Especially when Xiao Heng handed her the silver tael and the land deed right before they parted, although the father still didn't say much, Xiao Jinxuan could still clearly feel the mountain-like solid father's love.

However, Xiao Heng is a famous general and has worked in other places all year round. Although he occasionally worried about his father's health, except for sending a few letters from home, Xiao Jinxuan was beyond his reach and could not take care of him at all.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan was thinking about the memories of these close family members in her mind, there was a knock on the door, and then Zhu Xin said outside:

"Miss, Miss Jinyu is here, and she said she wants to see you. She just came back from the Duke's mansion. Should I push her away for you, or meet her in the living room."

Zhu Xin now acts much more neatly, now Wen Xin is busy with things outside the mansion for nearly half the time, and she is basically watching the handsome man's mansion.

Just like Xiao Jinyu just came back now, Zhu Xin has already grasped all the whereabouts of the other party from the coachman and the guards who came back and forth.

Knowing that this Miss Di went to the Duke's Mansion during the day, and promptly informed Xiao Jinxuan.

Hearing that Xiao Jinyu came here so late, as the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I'm afraid this sister-in-law is probably trying to do something again.

But if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win all battles. If she doesn't see her, it will be difficult to detect Xiao Jinyu, and what the hell is going on.

So after ordering Zhu Xin to entertain her in the living room, she tidied up a bit, and then walked out of the room.

Xiao Jinxuan had just taken a nap, so her hair was unavoidably disheveled, so when she finished tidying up and came to the living room, the time for half a cup of tea was over.

As for Xiao Jinyu, who was originally a descendant, she always had a sense of superiority when facing Xiao Jinxuan, so seeing that this concubine sister asked her to wait for so long, she felt a little unhappy.

So as soon as Xiao Jinxuan came in from the living room, Xiao Jinyu's eyes moved, and he glanced at the other party in dissatisfaction. He even sighed and said in a pretentious manner:

"I haven't seen you for more than a month, but now my sister's airs are getting bigger and bigger. If I want to see you, I, as the first sister, have to wait here. It's really not what it used to be."

How could Xiao Jinxuan fail to hear the other party's cynicism, but she immediately smiled slightly, and then said in a gentle voice:
"I asked my sister to wait for a long time. It's really my sister's fault, but don't my sister know that when I come to visit, I have to send a post first. At worst, I should ask my servant to report first. It seems that there are no other people outside the city. After living in Yuan for a long time, my sister really forgot the basic rules and etiquette. Fortunately, this is in our own house, otherwise, if people look at it, Jinxuan, as a younger sister, will be ashamed of you .”

What Xiao Jinyu is most afraid of now, and what she doesn't want to hear the most, is when others mention her experience of moving to another garden. After all, all her humiliation is gathered in that unbearable memory.

With Qian Yunhong, Xiao Jinyu could not wait to shut up all those who knew the truth about the romantic experience, so that she could feel better in her heart.

Even Xiao Jinke, who went to Bieyuan with her back then and knew what she looked like after giving birth, and Xiao Jinyu, when she returned to the commander's mansion, couldn't tolerate this cousin coming back with her. Spread the word.

So she called the old lady directly, sent Xiao Jinke to the family temple, and reunited with the third wife, Qian Shi, mother and daughter who had been punished earlier.

But Xiao Jinxuan, every time she saw her, she had to lift her scars.

This feeling of being exposed in front of people as if all the unbearable sides could not be concealed was so exciting that Xiao Jinyu was going crazy.

In front of everyone, Xiao Jinyu is indeed a dignified and famous lady, but in fact it is just a hypocritical and luxurious appearance, but deep down she has a heart that is extremely jealous and selfish.

Moreover, the sense of superiority cultivated since childhood also made Xiao Jinyu develop a character of self-admiration.

Therefore, unable to stand the irony of Xiao Jinxuan's words, she immediately turned ugly, and even had the idea of ​​standing up, rushing forward to slap this concubine girl hard, and slap her face a few times.

But as soon as she got up, Xiao Jinyu remembered the reason why she came here, looked at the wooden box in her right hand, took a deep breath, and regained her dignified and noble appearance.

"My sister is right. It's my sister who was reckless. She should have sent a greeting card first, but I just told you that we sisters have been separated for so long. Now that my sister is back, she also brought a bracelet for her. This is I accidentally bought it when I was in Bieyuan, so I don't know if Jinxuan will like it.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinyu handed the wooden box forward, and Zhu Xin quickly took it, and immediately delivered it to Xiao Jinxuan's hands.

She thanked Xiao Jinyu with a smile, and then Xiao Jinxuan opened the wooden box, and a crystal-clear glass bracelet inside caught her eyes.

And this bracelet is not only as clear as water, but the most peculiar thing is that inside the bracelet, there are gold and silver liquids, intertwined together, flowing slowly, echoing each other, like a dream, really beautiful.

Because of Ji Lingfeng's instructions, Xiao Jinyu didn't open the box to take a look, but before leaving, the other party told her all about the material of the bracelet, so in order to win Xiao Jinxuan's trust, she immediately introduced:
"My sister's bracelet is from Fanbang, and it is made of ice crystal glass. The gold and silver liquid inside has been specially treated to melt the gold and silver so that they will never condense, and then skillfully inject it into the bracelet. I just saw that this thing was rare, so I bought it casually, Jinxuan, if you like it, you can try it quickly."

It is reasonable and reasonable for sisters to reunite after a long absence, and to give gifts to their elder sisters.

But Xiao Jinxuan knew very well in her heart that she and her sister-in-law, apart from being in the same situation, really didn't have such a harmonious relationship with each other, and the excessive enthusiasm of the other party seemed a bit suspicious.

Immediately fiddled with the exquisite glass bracelet twice, Xiao Jinxuan did not take it on, but said with a smile:

"Jinxuan accepted the kindness of my sister-in-law. Although this thing is indeed rare, my sister still wears a jade bracelet on her hand. Since my sister has already given it to me, my sister is not in a hurry. There will be more opportunities to wear it in the future.”

Hearing this, although Xiao Jinyu was a little disappointed, but looking at Xiao Jinxuan, who was still holding the bracelet in her hand until now, she thought of Ji Lingfeng telling her that as long as the other party touches the bracelet for a moment, it will have the desired effect.

Therefore, she smiled with satisfaction in her heart, and Xiao Jinyu didn't force herself anymore. Seeing that all the things she had to do had been done, all she had to do was wait for Ji Lingfeng to make a move.

Immediately, she lost the interest to stay any longer, found an excuse, and left the Forsythia Courtyard on her own.

And when Xiao Jinyu left, Zhu Xin immediately frowned, with a puzzled face, and said with a trace of vigilance:

"Miss, why do I feel that today's events are so weird? What do you think, Miss Jinyu shouldn't have come here to give you a bracelet just for the sake of it. Why didn't I see that she cared about you so much before?"

Even a straightforward person like Zhu Xin could see that Xiao Jinyu was behaving abnormally today, so Xiao Jinxuan naturally realized something was wrong long ago.

It's not that she didn't expect that there was something wrong with the bracelet in her hand, but seeing that she didn't wear it, Xiao Jinyu didn't care, and left directly.

It seemed that Xiang Zhen only wanted to deliver the bracelet to her and had no other intentions, which made Xiao Jinxuan a little confused.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan held up the bracelet and observed carefully, hoping to find out from it the real intention of Xiao Jinyu's coming tonight, she saw Chi Ling walking in with a solemn expression holding a wooden box.

And when Chi Ling looked up and saw the glazed bracelet in Xiao Jinxuan's hand, she hurriedly lowered her head to look at the wooden box in her hand, and then said in a surprised voice:

"No wonder the Gu worm reacted so strongly. It turns out that the problem lies with the young lady. Where did you get that bracelet? There must be some mystery in it. Can you show the subordinates a look."
