Chapter 17 Broken Jade

Bai Ruoli was very happy.

He stretched out his hand to hold Shu Qingyao, and said repeatedly: "I know that my cousin-in-law is kind-hearted and will not reject Ah Li!"

There was a flicker in the air, like a dragonfly touching water, and then his hand staggered away and passed by the clothes.

She looked at the dressing table behind Shu Qingyao with bright eyes: "My cousin's jewelry is so beautiful!" She stood up.

Wu Ling was speechless.

The Bai family is so uneducated!

Shu Qingyao looked sideways and saw Bai Ruoli picking up the jewelry and looking at it casually like no one else, then turned to Wu Ling and raised her finger.

Miss? Wu Ling was puzzled.

Shu Qingyao smiled slightly: "After talking for a while, my cousin may be hungry. Go and prepare some cakes."

Bai Ruoli weighed a golden peony hairpin with pearls in her hand, her eyes fixed on it, and her voice was sweet: "I want osmanthus cloisonné custard, honey rose cheese, Xiaohe crisp and butterfly honey bean cake! Oh, by the way, I also want a pot. Bamboo dew and pine heart tea.”

Wu Ling frowned: "Yes." He looked at Shu Qingyao with a worried expression.

Shu Qingyao curled her lips and signaled her to go ahead.

Since people came to her door to come up with tricks, she didn't mind taking the initiative to set up a stage to watch singing and dancing.

Sure enough, shortly after Wu Ling left, Bai Ruoli became more and more aggressive. Zi Guzi rummaged through all the jewelry on the dressing table, then opened her rouge box, dug it out with her fingertips, and wiped it off the bronze mirror to test the color.

"The color of the rouge is not bad. My cousin has really good taste." The topic changed, "Miss Su, do you know my cousin?"

Shu Qingyao's eyes changed slightly.

"Not familiar."

She hummed softly: "Of course you are not familiar with me. Since I was born, my cousin has taken care of me and accompanied me. Whatever I want, my cousin will give it to me."

Shu Qingyao raised her eyebrows: "Then?"

Bai Ruoli sneered: "In my cousin's heart, I will always be the most important. As for you, it's just a marriage contract!" The last word fell and she turned around suddenly. The cuffs swept across the dressing table, and the gold hairpins and jade ornaments scattered on the table crashed onto the carpet.

When Shu Qingyao was young, she was used to seeing scenes of jealousy and sourness in the palace. The tricks played by those high-ranking ladies were a hundred times more exciting than Bai Ruoli's. As the gold hairpin and jade ornaments fell, she just shifted her gaze, calmly.

"Since my cousin is so favored," Shu Qing smiled gracefully, "then why don't my cousin cancel the marriage?"

Bai Ruoli's eyes suddenly widened.

This, why is this different from what she thought?

Didn’t my cousin say that the eldest lady of the Su family is straight-minded and straight-tempered, and that such a woman is easily attracted to the temptation?

"What, cousin, that's not what you meant?"

Bai Ruoli's heart tightened and her whole body trembled. She took a step back and clasped her fingers on the edge of the dressing table.

She originally wanted to give Su Youqing a blow, and then take advantage of Su Youqing's panic to find out the truth, so as to help Wei Xingzhao ascend to power. But now the road on Wei Xingzhao's side is blocked by Shen Xinglou, and here she is...

"Qing'er, are you in the house?" Wei Xingzhao's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing such an affectionate address, Bai Ruoli's eyes suddenly darkened.

Shen Xinglou didn't lie to her. His cousin was really interested in Su Youqing!

He grabbed the remaining jewelry on the table and threw it to the ground. His eyes caught sight of the green on Shu Qingyao's wrist. He ran over like crazy, grabbed her wrist with both hands, and pulled down hard.

Bai Ruoli's face was filled with pride as she took off the jade bracelet.

He pinched it and mocked: "I wonder if my cousin will still look at your wrist without this bracelet!"

The jade stone collided with the table, making a shattering clang.

Shu Qingyao covered her red wrist, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
