Chapter 267: If you can't get it, it will be destroyed
"You haven't bought it yet, why do you just say it's your ladies?" Seeing that their ladies are weak, a maid standing behind Gu Xishu stood up dissatisfiedly, glaring at Qin Wanru and Yujie angrily, as if they were the ones who had their hairpins stolen.
Qin Wanru's eyes retracted from Wen Xichi's face, and her eyes fell on Gu Xishu's face. Seeing her willow eyebrows slightly frowning, her eyes slightly red, she looked very wronged, her lips slightly curled, and her eyes were calm and deep.
"Miss, I saw this hairpin first, and I asked my friend to take it out. Can I finish reading it first?"
Qin Wanru saw it first, and Qin Wanru asked his friend to take it out. According to this situation, Qin Wanru took it. Before Qin Wanru didn't want it, other guests were not allowed to rob him.
Wen Xichi's eyes turned from Qin Wanru to Yujie. He suddenly didn't recognize Qin Wanru wearing a hat, but as soon as she spoke, he immediately recognized her. When she saw Yujie clearly, she became more and more aware that the person in front of her was Qin Wanru.
"Cousin, return the hairpin to this lady!" Wen Xichi said gently.
"Cousin... I didn't steal her hairpin..." Not only did Wen Xichi not help her, but instead vaguely admitted her guilt for her. Gu Xishu's tears were about to fall. She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil, making her look more and more pitiful.
Although the movements on their side were small, they still attracted the attention of people around them. In particular, there is also the word "grab". The lady of the aristocratic family pays the most attention to is decent, and the word "grab" cannot be done.
"Miss, can you return the hairpin in your hand to me? I'm going to pay!" Qin Wanru ignored Gu Xishu's pitiful look and said generously.
A pair of watery eyes fell coldly on Gu Xishu. This was not the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion in the previous life, nor did the Zuo Prime Minister and the Zuo Prime Minister who were extremely biased towards Gu Xishu. The Gu Xishu's previous life's trick would not work here at all, and Wen Xichi next to him was not the Wen Xichi who was blinded by family affection in the previous life.
Even though the two of them didn't say a word, Qin Wanru could still clearly hear the alienation in Wen Xichi's words. It seemed that his warning had really worked before.
The corners of the lips curled slightly, and a smile appeared under the hat.
"I... can this lady give me the hairpin... I pay double the price... This hairpin is my cousin's favorite swallow." Seeing Qin Wanru unmoved, seeing that Wen Xichi had no intention of standing up for her, Gu Xishu had to curb the tears in her eyes and timidly raised the hairpin and begged.
It seemed that the reason why she wanted this hairpin was entirely because of Wen Xichi, on the one hand, it also pointed out that the relationship between the two people was unusual.
A gentleman has the beauty of becoming an adult. If he has such a gentlemanly style, he should give up his hairpin at this time.
Or even if you are not very willing, you will express blessings and concessions in front of everyone, and you must always show the gentleness and kindness of a lady from a noble family.
Especially at this time, when entering the palace to attend a flower-watching banquet, everyone guessed that it might be related to those princes. If there was such an opportunity to show their gentleness and kindness, I believe that many of the ladies present would be willing to give up a hairpin to promote their reputation.
But what she met Qin Wanru today!
"I'm really sorry. My mother also likes the hairpin of the swallow in front of the hall. I asked the lady to return this hairpin that I first like!" Qin Wanru bowed sideways, then raised her body and said lightly.
Although the relationship between cousin and cousin can also be family affection, this kind of matter related to hairpins seems a bit ambiguous and not very good at taking action. Qin Wanru's statement about mother is a filial feeling. Compared with this ambiguous meaning, she seems more generous and decent.
Just in this sentence, Gu Xishu was already at a disadvantage.
Many of the ladies present were also reminded by Qin Wanru's words, covering the corners of their lips with a veil, looking at Gu Xishu with a little ridiculous look. The eyes that knew Wen Xichi looked at Gu Xishu became more and more ridiculous.
Isn’t this the cousin who is raised in the Zuo Prime Minister’s Mansion?
I heard that this lady seemed to like Mr. Wen San, but the goddess was intent, but King Xiang was unintentional! Mr. Wen was clearly a bystander mentality standing by the side, without saying a word for Gu Xishu, nor was there any intention of maintaining it.
"Third cousin!" Gu Xishu didn't expect that Qin Wanru would be so difficult to deal with. She turned her head and looked at Wen Xichi sadly, clenching the hairpin tightly in her hand. She didn't want to let go of this hairpin, and she was hers.
"Cousin, return the hairpin to this lady. This lady bought it for her mother. It's not good for you to take someone else's hairpin like this!" Wen Xichi finally spoke under Gu Xishu's expectant look.
But this sentence did not mean to stand on Gu Xishu's side at all. The dispute between the two was given in one sentence. This meant that Gu Xishu was rude and snatched Qin Wanru's hairpin.
Gu Xishu has always been the best at using methods to get the attention of everyone in the mansion, and also let everyone in the mansion make her do everything. She never thought that Wen Xichi was actually helping outsiders for a hairpin today. She was embarrassed and angry for a moment, her face turned pale and white. She looked at the sarcastic gazes of everyone around her, and she couldn't stand the tears in her eyes.
Suddenly, he threw down the hairpin in his hand, turned around and covered his face and left crying.
"Miss, Miss!" The maid beside her hurriedly chased after her.
Qin Wanru's eyes fell on the hairpin that fell to the ground, and her eyes were covered in thick ink. The exquisite flower head on the hairpin on the ground had been broken. Gu Xishu was such a person. If she couldn't get the things she liked, she would rather destroy them than give them to others. Wen Xichi of the previous life was destroyed in her hands.
When the guy saw that the hairpin was thrown, he was so scared that his face was pale. He ran out and picked up the hairpin on the ground and the broken ones. He looked at Qin Wanru with a sad face and said, "Miss, look..."
He, a little guy, can't afford such a hairpin.
"This hairpin is counted as me..." Qin Wanru certainly understood this and said.
But Wen Xichi gently interrupted: "This hairpin is mine. I was originally a cousin who was ignorant. I snatched the lady's hairpin, but because I didn't get it, I broke the hairpin in anger."
This responsibility was originally Gu Xishu. Wen Xichi didn't intend to help her hide it. He used to not care about it, but just thought that she was a young cousin. Since she was beaten up, she has treated her as a sister and grew up together. She has not been very wary of her.
Unexpectedly, this grew her ambition.
He was trying to hook himself up with his second brother, but he really wanted to control his brother in his palm!
After knowing this, Wen Xichi and Gu Xishu only maintained their apparent affinity. Of course, they would not go out to chase her as she wished, and would not push things to Qin Wanru.
Originally, she was really a cousin who grew up with her since childhood, but now... he won't be polite!
"How embarrassing? Since I saw this hairpin, it is naturally mine!" Qin Wanru raised her head and looked at Wen Xichi and said lightly.
This is very alienating, and it means to have a relationship with Wen Xichi.
"Since this..., the lady chose another hairpin, and I liked it to pay to compensate the lady for the loss of the hairpin!" Seeing Qin Wanru's refusal, Wen Xichi had no choice but to say.
"Thank you, this young master, just asking the young master to pay is not justified, let alone the thing used by this woman. I appreciate the kindness of the young master. I should go and see the young master's cousin. It seems that the noble cousin is very angry. Don't get angry with the young master in a while!"
Qin Wanru continued to refuse without hesitation.
This was very polite and alienated, and he seemed to not want to be related to him. Even if Wen Xichi wanted to say something, he couldn't continue to say anything at this time. He could only bow to Qin Wanru helplessly, sighed, and turned around to chase Gu Xishu in the direction he had just left.
The whole incident didn't happen for a long time, but Gu Xishu was angrily smashing the hairpin just now. Many ladies and wives from aristocratic families turned to this side. After seeing Wen Xichi leave, they began to talk in a low voice when they were familiar.
"Is this the third son of the Wen Xiang Mansion?"
"Yes, it's the third son of the Wen Xiang Mansion. I heard that this time, I'm very likely to pass the exam."
"That's the cousin in their house? Didn't Mrs. Zuo Xiang say that this cousin was a good and gentle person? Such a domineering behavior is really..."
"This cousin is probably interested in Mr. Wen San! He doesn't even look at his identity!"...
Wen Xichi is also famous in Beijing. He has outstanding appearance and has many ladies who like him. However, he has always been polite to women and has no closeness. This also makes some ladies he knows just now and dare not speak, but now he is gone. When he talks about this cousin, everyone is despised.
And it was a slanderous contempt. Even though they might not have watched Gu Xishu's behavior just now, after Wen Xichi and Qin Wanru's conversation, we can understand that Miss Gu's behavior is really unbearable.
In this way, Mrs. Zuo Xiang kept praising her, which made some ladies who were originally Xiao Xiangwen Xichi jealous and hate her. With such an opportunity, of course, they would not let go of mockery. They even thought about it. When they went back, they would also talk to their elders. Next time Mrs. Zuo Xiang praised her cousin again, they would talk about what happened today.
See if this wife Wen Xiang can still praise her cousin's niece?
A woman in foster care dared to be a third son of Wen in Beijing who was favored by many aristocratic families.
To put it this way, there are so many ladies who don’t like her. I just forgot to find her mistakes in the past, but now I find that she is completely different from the rumors, and I talk about it and express my disdain!
They were talking here, but the guy was relieved! He nodded and bowed and was grateful. While wrapping the broken hairpin, he enthusiastically introduced other accessories to Qin Wanru.
I was afraid that Qin Wanru would be dissatisfied at all.
