Shen Zhiyi’s sharp eyes quickly noticed the jade-green earrings on her fair earlobes.
"These earrings look familiar to ."
Yu Tingwan: "I picked them up casually on the first floor."
No one knew this was Wei Zhao’s property, so Yu Tingwan naturally didn’t ntion it.
She simply said.
"The shopkeeper said the bracelet and the earrings match."
Indeed they do match.
Shen Zhiyi didn’t even want to speak, envying the wealth of the Duke Shun Mansion.
But today, she also had money.
Shen Zhiyi: "Have you settled the bill?"
No.
It was free.
Shen Zhiyi: "I’m in a good mood these days, let treat you."
The chaos in the Chu Family was indeed thanks to Yu Tingwan.
She touched her face: "This slap was worth it. My father had never hit before, and this ti he did it out of anger and quickly regretted it, but couldn’t bring himself to apologize, so he had the accounting office give quite a bit of silver."
"I won’t save him money, if I refuse to use it, it’ll only benefit those concubines in the end."
"Help choose, which of these two hairpins suits ?"
Yu Tingwan picked them up; each had a unique design and characteristics, and she compared them against her head.
They all seed nice.
Yu Tingwan: "Why not get them both?"
Shen Zhiyi: ... "That works too."
"What about the jade pendant?"
She picked out three more and let Yu Tingwan choose.
The jade pendants were similar, just the patterns on them were different.
"Pick one, the jewelry here isn’t cheap. If I take them all, I won’t have enough money left."
Yu Tingwan helped her decide: "Then take the most expensive one."
Shen Zhiyi was delighted: "Makes sense!"
She turned her head to let the maid behind her settle the bill.
Yu Tingwan was also pleased: "Don’t include my earrings, just co to Jinluo Pavilion often in the future to thank ."
Shen Zhiyi didn’t think much of it, assuming Yu Tingwan ant for her to invite her out more often.
"Sure."
As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of Gu Wu not far away. She quickly whispered: "Just so you know, I only found out she was here after I arrived. Don’t bla ."
What’s there to bla?
What had Gu Wu done to her?
There hadn’t been any conflict between them.
Seeing that she wasn’t concerned, Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and led her upstairs to a private room for tea and snacks.
Yu Tingwan furrowed her brows, a bit uncomfortable with this closeness, and wanted Shen Zhiyi to let go. Her lips moved, but in the end, she said nothing.
She glanced at Shen Zhiyi: "Going out like this, aren’t you worried Mr. Shen will regret and it’ll be hard to wrap up?"
"Bla ? It’s only because Father forgot to order grounded."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Shen Zhiyi was in high spirits: "Today I wanted to go out, and my mother even told to wear a veil."
What’s there to cover?
"Anyway, I’m not afraid of being laughed at, but whether others are is hard to say."
"I want to see if my half-sister will still be wanted by her husband’s family if her reputation plumts. That mistress is the most cunning; she needs a taste of the bitter fruit."
Yu Tingwan: "I can see that."
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have joined Shen Zhiyi in this charade.
After entering the private room, Yu Tingwan found a seat by the window. Looking out, she could see the bustling street.
Shen Zhiyi: "Did you notice that daughter from the Lu Family?"
Yu Tingwan reached to grab a snack: "Why?"
"You didn’t know? She also got an invitation from the Marchioness Ning."
Yu Tingwan really hadn’t noticed.
Tan Jiang on the side remarked: "Madam Lu was old friends with our Marchioness Ning, and begged her to let her daughter use this occasion to make an appearance in public."
Shen Zhiyi shook her head: "All delicate and timid, she’s really a fragile flower. I’m afraid to even speak loudly to her, fearing my voice would make her cry."
Shen Zhiyi gritted her teeth: "Only that harlot Zhou Yurou is pretending."
And yet those young masters are blind, can’t see through it!!!
Yu Tingwan picked another piece of dessert: "After breaking the engagent with you, Chu Liulang said outside it was because you’re too fierce, and he feared unrest at ho. Who knows what srizing potion Zhou Yurou gave him. He tells everyone he’s unworthy of you."
"You should learn."
Shen Zhiyi: ...
"No, I can’t mimic that harlot’s style."
Speaking, she looked her up and down: "Or can you?"
Yu Tingwan was very displeased.
"Do you doubt ?"
Why couldn’t she succeed?!
She had even trodden a new path!
She had carried on an affair with Wei Zhao, who was married.
As long as she didn’t speak of love, she was more convincing than anyone!
Shen Zhiyi: ???
She suspiciously looked at Yu Tingwan
In terms of sarcasm and insinuation, she believed her.
In terms of Yu Tingwan hurting others, she believed her too.
But learning to imitate Zhou Yurou’s purity and weakness, she didn’t believe!!!
"Lo and behold, speak of the devil."
Shen Zhiyi glanced at the street and had a big reaction when she saw Zhou Yurou, rising abruptly.
"It must be a ghost."
"Wait, look quickly."
Hearing this, Yu Tingwan looked down and saw Zhou Yurou stop Gu Wu, who was about to return ho.
Shen Zhiyi was itching with curiosity.
"What are they talking about? I bet she’s badmouthing us. Let’s go down and watch."
Yu Tingwan: ...
But she hadn’t had enough desserts yet.
The street was crowded.
Zhou Yurou was indeed badmouthing them, she bowed slightly to Gu Wu.
"It’s been a while, Miss Gu, how have you been? Yurou is particularly concerned about you."
As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, as if she wanted to say more but hesitated.
Gu Wu frowned: "Why don’t you worry about yourself?"
"You’ve been dumped, although you are not a bad person, being dumped is still considered unlucky. Many families are superstitious, who knows who would want to marry you in the future."
Zhou Yurou: ...
She forced a smile.
"That’s my fate."
"I didn’t expect Chu Liulang..."
Gu Wu nodded: "Your fate is indeed not good."
Zhou Yurou was so angry: ...
She tried hard to steer the conversation back.
"I’ve been hearing people say you’re a fake."
Gu Wu’s face stiffened, and she instinctively began picking at her handkerchief.
Seeing this, Zhou Yurou felt much better internally.
She was in such a miserable state now and couldn’t bear to see others doing well.
Why should she have a bad ti!
Yu Tingwan, who ca from the countryside, had the identity of the Grand Tutor’s daughter and was the young madam of the Duke Mansion, gaining all the benefits.
And this fake Gu Wu was doing well and continued to be the Gu Family’s daughter!
Zhou Yurou took a step forward, her eyes filled with concern.
"I’m not comfortable hearing all this."
"If the General’s wife can’t tolerate you and makes things hard for you, what will you do if you can’t stay in the Gu Family?"
Gu Wu’s face turned slightly pale, but she said: "My uncle said she is polite to others, virtuous and elegant."
Hiding and eavesdropping, Shen Zhiyi was taken aback
Yu Tingwan, dragged down against her will, straightened herself.
It’s her!
"Dad also said she is filial and grateful, obedient and clever."
Yu Tingwan nodded.
It’s her!
Shen Zhiyi couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Gu Wu continued: "Mother also often says she’s gentle and kindhearted at ho."
Yu Tingwan, always thick-skinned.
Heavily nodded.
Indeed, it’s her!
Shen Zhiyi’s voice grew louder each ti.
"Ha."
Are they all blind?
How could they speak such lies?
Yu Tingwan angrily pressed on her head: "What do you an!"
Shen Zhiyi winced in pain: "I can’t stand listening."
"Bear with it!"
