"Ah!" Shao Yingxiu looked at the broken green jade ring in disbelief, "Brother didnt know you were at the Bo Manor, didnt bring your share, this thing is small, but its also something I specifically brought to give to you, you dont even care about it, and yet you still smashed it!" She glared at He Lean with displeasure, "Are you expecting me to give this precious amber bangle to you instead?"

  No

  "How can you be so greedy!" Shao Yingxiu cut off He Leans explanation and stormed off in a rage.

  He Lean helplessly watched her fleeting figure, and finally picked up the broken Qingyu ring. She didnt even know that Hes maternal family, the Weiwu Generals Manor, was actually related to the Ruiqin Princes Manor, which was secretly plotting a rebellion...

  In a daze, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps and looked up suspiciously to see a woman in her thirties, dressed in plain light blue clothing, with a melancholy expression, being supported by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who was neatly dressed. She smiled and greeted her: "Second Aunt."

  Second Aunt Dai returned home some time ago due to a big happy event in her hometown, but now she has rushed back after hearing that Old Master Shao is bedridden with illness. He Lian looked at the girl supporting Second Aunt Dai and said, "Xue Mei." Back then, when Second Uncle died on the battlefield, Second Aunt Dai was fortunate enough to have encountered such a turn of events and still gave birth to their posthumous daughter, leaving behind some bloodline.

  Shao Yingxue smiled shyly at her, "An older sister."

  "Its been a long time, and Anan has become even more beautiful. " Dai said with relief, "This shouldnt be your responsibility in the first place, youve worked hard enough these past few days, from now on let Er Zhu Mu and Xue Er take care of it."

  He Lean shook his head and said: "My elder sister-in-law and Xiuer are willing to give me a chance to repay the debt, Im very happy."

  Dai Shi wanted to say something, but He Le An smiled and said: "Its my own wish to do this, Second Aunt dont worry. Although Grandfathers illness is hard to cure, it gets better day by day. Youve been busy for several days, so take a good rest first."

  Seeing her insistence, Dai couldnt say anything more and left after chatting with He Lean about some family matters, having also seen Shao Lao Ye who was not in his right mind.

  The lanterns had just been lit when Mrs. He arrived with a beautifully decorated invitation card, and saw that Old Master Shao was eating with his hands dirty, his face full of disdain. Just then, Old Master Shao let out a loud fart, and she didnt enter the inner room either, covering her nose and mouth to say to He Lian: "This is an invitation card entrusted by Mrs. He to me, asking you to set off with Xiuer on the eighth day."

  Momo took over the post, and He Shi thought of something and said: "Sixth sister, I know you are born out of wedlock, but since childhood, you have been raised by Old Lady He, and you lack nothing in delicate trinkets. However, when Xiuer kindly gave you things, no matter what, you shouldnt have smashed them."

  "This happened in our own home, and as your elder sister-in-law, Im teaching you a lesson for your own good. If this were to happen outside, people would criticize you for being excessive. I dont know how Old Lady He usually disciplines you, but how could you be so greedy for your sisters things? If you want a bangle, Ill give you one when I see a nice one."

  These words sound like theyre all for her own good, but in reality, theyre all testifying to her greedy crime. He Lian has a kind heart and wants to do good, but that doesnt mean shes weak and can be deceived, so she smiled and said:

  "My grandmother taught me since I was a child to look at everything with an ordinary heart, whats mine will always be mine, and whats not mine doesnt need to be remembered. Dont listen to the nonsense of those gossiping servants, Auntie. At that time, I just accidentally dropped the ring, now its in my pocket, and when I have some free time, Ill take it out to fix it."

  "After all, its Xiuers kind intention, I must cherish it well." He Lian said, seemingly unintentionally raising her hand to brush away the stray hairs on her forehead, while the wide sleeve slipped down, revealing a priceless white jade inlaid gold filigree plum blossom bangle on her wrist.
