Splendid concubine

Chapter 28 One move away from chess

Hearing the voice, Liu Ruyi rushed out to greet her.

Soldiers come to block water and earth to cover up, and she has seen a lot of all kinds of open and secret fights, framing and collusion in her previous life.She really doesn't care about the fights between ten-year-old girls.

Even if someone at Zhao's level now thinks of a way to frame her, she can see through it and fight back.

"Why did the elder sister and the third younger sister come to my younger sister's courtyard?" Liu Ruyi smiled and spoke softly.

Because Liu Mengxue had something on her mind, she still didn't practice enough, she showed her thoughts on her face, and said quickly: "Why can't you come to the second sister's yard? Isn't it natural for a younger sister to care about her elder sister?"

Take it for granted, Liu Ruyi smiled secretly in her heart.

After being reborn, I realized that the methods used by the original sisters were extremely ridiculous.It's a pity that I didn't find it in my previous life.

"Xiangyi, go make tea."

Liu Ruyi quickly ordered: "Use the best tea, and bring some snacks if you have any."

"Miss, we don't have any snacks." Xiang Yi was honest.

"Go to the kitchen and say that the eldest lady and the third lady are in our yard. They want tea and there are no desserts to go with it. Let the kitchen see if there are any freshly made desserts and bring them back." Liu Ruyi ordered, hating iron for nothing.

"Oh." Xiangyi realized, and disappeared in a flash.

"Eldest sister, third sister, Ruyi doesn't have any good things here, but the elder sister and third sister laughed." Liu Ruyi led Liu Xuanshuang and Liu Mengxue into the room and sat down.

There was nothing to talk to Liu Ruyi in the first place, Liu Xuanshuang didn't want to ruin her image even if she was in such a place where outsiders couldn't see it.

"Elder Sister has a good manner, she looks good when she moves or is still." Liu Mengxue began to compliment Liu Xuanshuang as soon as she sat down.

Hearing the compliment, Liu Xuanshuang's brows slightly relaxed.

Modestly said: "It's all taught by the nanny, Sanmei, you are just too impatient, otherwise you will do well."

Coming to Liu Ruyi's place, she didn't come here to gossip and wait for snacks. Liu Mengxue couldn't help it before she sat down for half a cup of tea.

"Second sister, can I have a look inside your room?"

"You just have to look at it." Liu Ruyi said generously, but my room was only furnished in the past few days, and I didn't know what it was.

"I also want to see how my younger sister cleans the house on weekdays. My mother always praises the second younger sister for how clean the house is, so let me learn from it." Liu Xuanshuang also stood up.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyi laughed lightly in her heart, what mother always praised her, she really couldn't find anything to say, it was really hypocritical.Her house is not the cleanest, because there is nothing, and the walls are almost bare.

"Second sister, my younger sister wants to see your hairpin and ring jewelry." Liu Mengxue flipped through other things symbolically, and then went straight to the point.

I really can't hold back, Liu Ruyi thought in her heart, but she took the initiative to hold the dressing box and opened it for her to see.

"I seldom wear jewelry on weekdays. I always feel that there are too many things on the top of my head, which makes my neck hurt. If you want to see something that I have and you don't, I might as well give it to you."

It is said to be beautiful, but it is a pity that the ones in Liu Ruyi's dressing box are all standard ones in the mansion, and among the young ladies in the mansion, they have the least hairpin jewelry, and the styles are ordinary, nothing new.

Impatiently, she went up to check the contents of the box, Liu Mengxue's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hey, second sister only has such a dressing box?"

"Otherwise there are a few more. I only have these few hairpins in total. There is so much space left for each of them. There is nothing to fill." Liu Ruyi knew why Liu Mengxue said that.

"No, it's nothing." Liu Mengxue concealed the disappointment on her face, wondering in her heart about the prepared trap, thinking that she was afraid that Liu Wanwan and Liu Jiaren would make the move earlier than her, so she made the move hastily, could it be that she hasn't put it in place yet?

No, obviously that little maid took the money, and after a while, she came back and said that she had put the things in Liu Ruyi's dressing box?If Liu Ruyi found out, she shouldn't be unresponsive.

What went wrong?

"What's wrong with my sister? Why doesn't she look quite right?" Liu Ruyi cared about Liu Mengxue with a fake kindness.

"It's nothing." Liu Mengxue said quickly as if concealing it.

"Is it too stuffy in the room, do you want to go out to get some air?" Liu Ruyi said with concern.

"It's good to go out to get some air." Liu Mengxue was a little absent-minded.

Just as he was talking, he heard some noise in the yard, and Li's unique voice was very charming.

"Master, I just heard that Ruyi is a good girl who is in the limelight. I regret that I didn't care too much about her before. Now let's see if there is anything missing from that girl."

As he said that, Liu Ren'an had brought Mrs. Li into the house.

What else do you not know about this posture?Liu Ruyi was amused in her heart, usually no one cared about her, now that she wanted to frame her, why would she find any excuse for caring.

Just after saluting to my father, I saw Aunt Li said anxiously: "Seeing that Ruyi is also a person who doesn't like to dress up, why don't you open the dressing box, Auntie will teach you."

It's just that Aunt Li was too impatient, she almost rolled her eyes out of their sockets when she didn't see Liu Mengxue winking at her.

In line with her words, Liu Ruyi quickly brought out the dressing box that had just been closed.

Liu Ren'an frowned, obviously feeling that something was wrong, but wanted to see what was going on.

How could Aunt Li care about children other than Liu Mengxue on weekdays, not to mention that there are so many people gathered in Qianjingyuan now, and she has to look at the dressing box as soon as she comes in.

However, Liu Ren'an did not stop these shady tricks in the back house. The wives, concubines and daughters are more capable, and even the daughter who is at a disadvantage in the inner house can't compete with the disadvantaged daughter. High and low.

Unable to wait to hold the dressing box and open it, Aunt Li pretended to exclaim.

"Ah, isn't this the plum-blossom gold hairpin that the master gave me?" But he was shocked to find that the gold hairpin that he sent someone to hide in Liu Ruyi's box had completely disappeared.

"Isn't Auntie's hairpin on her head? Ruyi's box is full of hairpin rings that are standard in the house, every sister has them." Liu Ruyi didn't care, pretending not to hear Aunt Li's frame.

"Ah, ah?" Aunt Li quickly took the hairpin off her head in disbelief, and took a closer look, didn't she?The golden hairpin who wanted to use it to frame Liu Ruyi didn't know when it ran over to her.

It's a big shame now.

"Hmph." Liu Ren'an snorted coldly, his legs went limp from Aunt Li's fright, and he couldn't stand still.

As soon as she turned around, she slapped the big maid standing behind her who usually dressed her up. The big maid fell to the ground after being unsteadily beaten by Aunt Li.The clear five-finger marks on the face are particularly eye-catching.

"Doing these things on weekdays." Liu Ren'an reprimanded Aunt Li while looking at Liu Ruyi.

"Auntie don't want to be a maid, and Ruyi didn't say anything. I think Auntie has misunderstood it. My nobile is left to me by my mother, and it is not in the shape of Auntie's plum blossom, but a magpie." Liu Ruyi pinched it The hairpin in my dressing box, the magpie rubbing the hairpin.

This is a relic left by my mother. I finally saved my wages for many years. I bought this one and planned to make it a dowry. I didn't expect that by accident, I became my aunt.

When I was young, my aunt always stroked this magpie hairpin. This hairpin is different from the flower hairpins used by ladies and wives in ordinary times. , Auntie always weeps secretly.

Later, when her aunt disappeared, Liu Ruyi gradually realized that this was her only dowry.

After returning from rebirth, Liu Ruyi solemnly put the hairpin into the dressing box.

Mother, those who hurt you and wronged you, my daughter will avenge you.

Besides, the magpie is also very festive, even if it symbolizes that she will be happy all her life.

Li's face turned ashen, and she peeked at Liu Ren'an, but Liu Ren'an refused to look at her, and only ordered: "I don't think there are many Ruyi jewelry, but they are all silver, and they are not very good. How can you look like this?" Entering the palace to participate in the flower viewing banquet? Later, you will send a box of yours to Ruyi."

Hearing this, Aunt Li felt a little far away. When she redeemed herself, the hairpins she managed to hide secretly were all of great value. Coincidentally, it hasn't been out of date for more than ten years. It was originally reserved for Liu Mengxue, but I didn't expect that there was a bad move and I had to give it to Liu Ruyi.

What's more, with the master personally ordering, she didn't dare to fool Liu Ruyi with those ordinary things that every concubine in the house usually has.

I could only grit my teeth and agree, not even daring to say more.

"Liu Bai, go to the storeroom in the mansion and look through it. If you see any novel jewelry, especially those made of jade, bring some sets to Ruyi." After giving the order, Liu Ren'an left.

Seeing Liu Ren'an left without looking back, Aunt Li stomped her feet and followed with small steps.

Liu Mengxue had no face to stay here, and when she saw Liu Ruyi's dressing box, she couldn't stop getting angry.

Why doesn't she know that each of the hairpins kept in the mother's room is of great value.

Although she usually dislikes what her aunt said when she was an oiran in a brothel, she has subconsciously regarded those things as her own.

She even secretly thought that those would be used in the dowry in the future, and they would definitely be more brilliant than the jewelry in Liu Xuanshuang's dowry.

Now, now, a box is going to be given to that bitch Liu Ruyi.

After stomping her feet, Liu Mengxue didn't hide the distorted and angry look on her face at all, and followed her without even saying hello.

Carefully observing Liu Ruyi's expression, since Aunt Li's conspiracy was exposed, although she didn't say it clearly, everyone knew it well, and Liu Ruyi never spoke again.Liu Xuanshuang tried to find something on Liu Ruyi's face, but found nothing.

Liu Ruyi had a calm face, as if one of the protagonists in the farce just now was not the one who was targeted and designed.

Has it gotten darker?How can a person change suddenly?

"Sister, sister has something else to do, so I won't stay here to drink tea." Liu Xuanshuang felt a chill all over her body, as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and fled away.
