Everyone followed the sound and looked at the jade pendant on Zhang Ruoruo's waist. It was green, rich and full in color, and had the word "Ruo" engraved on it.
Zhang Ruoruo quickly took a step back and hurriedly covered it up. Unfortunately, she was dressed plainly today. No matter how she covered it up, this jade pendant was very eye-catching.
Before she could say anything, she heard Wei Jingwei continue: "It seems that my sister likes this kind of jade material just like me. I remember...it seems that he also has a similar jade pendant like this."
After she finished speaking, everyone looked at Mei Yuanqing's waist again, and sure enough, he also had a very similar jade pendant.
The patterns and textures on it look like they were cut from the same piece of jade.
Mei's mother felt a little nervous and secretly scolded Zhang Ruoruo for being a thoughtful person.
On an occasion like today, I don't wear any jewelry on my whole body, but why do I wear such an eye-catching jade pendant? If she said she didn't mean it, she wouldn't believe it.
Mei Yuanqing's face also darkened, and he looked at the jade pendant around Zhang Ruoruo's waist with burning eyes.
Zhang Ruoruo's face turned pale. Knowing that he had been exposed, he took two steps back and subconsciously looked at Mei Yuanqing with a look of grievance in his eyes.
Who knew that Mei Yuanqing just had a dark face at this moment and did not meet her eyes at all.
Suddenly, it felt like a big hole was opening in her heart.
Mei's mother suddenly said, "There is nothing good in this capital, and a jade pendant like this is worthy of your praise. If you like it, I will find one for you tomorrow. The one on Ruoruo's waist was given to her by me. Seeing how pitiful she was, she didn't have any decent jewelry around her, so I gave it to her."
Wei Jingwei then pretended to understand and nodded. "So that's it."
Mei Mu relieved Zhang Ruoruo, and she looked better now.
"Then I'll send someone to take my sister to Zhuxi Courtyard. It's getting late, so my mother should go to bed early. My daughter-in-law has resigned." Wei Jingwei said and left.
Her steps were neither hasty nor slow. As soon as she reached the corner of the corridor, she heard Zhang Ruoruo's crying coming from the house.
Wei Jingwei snorted coldly.
Thinking of what Zhang Ruoruo did before her death in the previous life, she felt ridiculous.
She actually let such an unworthy thing sit on her head. What's more, no matter how Mei Mu and Mei Yuanqing tried to hide it, the ambition and resentment in Zhang Ruoruo's eyes could not be hidden.
Anyone who cares can tell at a glance.
But they thought they were doing it perfectly and would not let themselves notice.
How ridiculous!
In Ci'an Hall, a tall and sturdy nanny wearing coarse cloth was about to slap her again, when she was pulled back by Mei Yuanqing.
Zhang Ruoruo, who was crying to herself on the ground, covered half of Lao Gao's swollen face with a depressed expression and looked at Mei's mother above him with some fear.
She sat high above him, looking at Zhang Ruoruo with cold eyes and disdain, and her chest heaved violently. After a long while, I grabbed a cup of tea next to my hand and drank it all before I felt better.
Cursing in her heart, this Ruoruo is really not a good thing. She came to the house for the first time today and deliberately brought a jade pendant to demonstrate to Mr. Wei. Fortunately, she just thought of an excuse and got over it. Mr. Wei is a sincere person. , I probably won’t think too much about it.
If she was discovered, her son would be dead!
She narrowed her eyes and spoke in a cold tone, "Such an opportunistic and petty person, please don't appear in front of me in the future, otherwise I can let you into the house and let you out. You have to know that you were just a person before. Farm girl in the countryside! You can live such a life because my Mei family gave it to you!"
Zhang Ruoruo's expression flashed, and then she nodded her head reluctantly. Tears dripped down her pointed chin and fell on the stone floor, which made Mei Yuanqing feel distressed again.
He said angrily, "Mom, no matter what, you can't let grandma hit Ruoruo. Look at how badly she's injured."
"No? If the Wei family finds out, do you still want to have an official career? Your father passed away early. I took you with you and worked hard to raise you up in the eyes of everyone. For you, I am a soldier in winter. You still have to sew clothes for frostbite. We two have suffered so much, and you have finally made it through hard work. Do you want to throw away everything you have earned for a woman?"
The more Mei Mu talked, the angrier she became, and she gave Zhang Ruoruo another hard look in her eyes.
After hearing these words, the scene of her mother kneeling down to beg for help flashed through Mei Yuanqing's mind. She held Zhang Ruoruo's hand tightly and then loosened it.
Zhang Ruoruo immediately became vigilant and immediately held his hand, his eyes widened with red eyes and he sobbed softly. He said softly: "Brother Yuan Qing, I didn't mean it. It's just that this jade pendant belongs to us as a pair. I usually never I got used to it as long as I stayed with her. I definitely didn’t mean to arouse Wei’s suspicion. I knew her... She was a young lady from an aristocratic family and had a high status. I never thought about getting away from her. I just wanted to stay in Yuan Qing. It’s just my brother’s side..."
Mei Yuanqing's rational heart was once again shaken. He hugged Zhang Ruoruo tightly and felt the cold tears falling on his shoulders. After a while, he said quietly, "I have wronged you."
After hearing this, Zhang Ruoruo was both happy and angry.
The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Ruoruo dressed up under the service of two maids.
While Guizhi Guiyuan was dressing her up, her eyes were wandering.
I sighed in my heart, Mei Mansion is really rich.
This room, as well as the decorations, are all good things. Not to mention what I saw in Ci'an Hall yesterday.
It almost blinded her.
In my heart, I was a little more ambitious about driving away the Wei family and sitting in that position.
"Miss, I see that this Mei Mansion is really rich and noble. Even the maids below are dressed in extraordinary clothes. This is great. Miss will live a good life in the future. I don't dare to neglect Miss Wei." Guizhi said with a smile.
Zhang Ruoruo was indeed a little proud in his eyes.
The three masters and servants were whispering when they heard someone at the door saying that Miss Su'er from Hongxia Pavilion was here.
Guizhi came to inquire about the house yesterday and found out that Su'er was the eldest maid of the Wei family. She quickly told Zhang Ruoruo: "Miss, please be sober later. It is said that Su'er is the eldest maid of the Wei family." Maid, you are very flattering."
Zhang Ruoruo felt a little disdainful, but she was just a maid, not a serious master. Even if she bullied this maid, she would still be able to do anything to a young lady like herself.
He mumbled a few perfunctory "hmm"s.
As soon as Su'er came in, Guizhi greeted her and kept talking about sister, elder and sister, which made Su'er smile a little more.
