Mrs. Han was a little unhappy, but she also knew that her father-in-law, husband and son had changed their minds and were no longer focused on marrying Luo Junyao. If she hadn't really been reluctant to part with the money, she wouldn't have said these words.
Seeing her son's reminder, Mrs. Han had no choice but to smile again and order someone to bring the things up.
With King Mu's help, Xie Chengyou doesn't need to sell off his property for the time being.
Only a servant standing behind Mrs. Han brought a wooden box to Luo Junyao and Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su nodded to Luo Junyao, and then Luo Junyao took it and opened it. As expected, there was a thick stack of silver notes inside.
Luo Junyao looked through it carefully and found two large gold notes and a thick stack of one thousand taels and five hundred taels of silver notes.
She looked at it and handed it to Su.
Mrs. Su only glanced at it and said with a smile: "These are the gold and silver notes from Yonghe Bank. Prince Mu's Mansion is indeed very wealthy." She closed the box and put it back in Luo Junyao's hand.
Hearing what Su said was true, Luo Junyao smiled brightly. He held the box in his arms happily, and the three people in front of him became more pleasing to the eye for the time being.
"Very good, things are settled. Lan Yin, return the IOU to Mr. Xuan Yu."
"Yes, girl!" Lan Yin, who was standing next to Luo Junyao, immediately took out a few notes and sent them to Xie Chengyou.
Xie Chengyou took it and took a look, crumpled the note into a ball and put it in his sleeve, then raised his head and looked at the happy Luo Junyao in front of him with complicated eyes.
Luo Junyao's attention was all on the large amount of money he had just received, and he didn't give Xie Chengyou even a glance.
Xie Chengyou knew that Luo Junyao really didn't care about him at all.
Although I was afraid of Luo Junyao and didn't want to get close to her anymore, facing Luo Junyao like this and thinking about Luo Junyao who had obeyed my words in the past two years, I still felt somewhat regretful and unwilling.
Mrs. Su picked up the tea cup and said calmly: "Mrs. Xie must be very busy too. Now that the matter is done, I won't leave anyone to drink tea."
This is driving people away!
Mrs. Han was dissatisfied, but she was the wife of a concubine in a small prince's palace, so she really didn't have the guts to contradict Luo Yun's wife.
He could only grit his teeth and smile: "Mrs. Luo is right, I have a lot of things to do at home, so I won't bother you. Let's take our leave now."
Su Shi smiled and said, "I'll have someone send you three out."
Seeing the three people being led out by the housekeeper, Luo Junyao suddenly remembered something, stood up and said: "Mother, I remembered that I still have a few words to say to the Lord Huaishu County!"
Su Shi felt a little relieved about Luo Junyao these days, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't fight."
"..." Luo Junyao was helpless. She hadn't had many fights, okay? Why did her mother think she was there to fight?
You look so menacing, you don't look like you are going to see off a guest.
The housekeeper led Xie Chengyou and the others out. Just as they walked out of the hall and before reaching the second door, they heard a soft voice coming from the roadside, "Ah Yuan."
The housekeeper turned around and looked over, and found that it was none other than Shen Lingxiang standing under the shade of a tree on the roadside.
The housekeeper frowned, "Miss Lingxiang, why are you here?"
Shen Lingxiang said: "I heard that A Yuan was here, and suddenly I remembered something I wanted to say to her."
Xie Yuan had just been completely ignored by the Su family and Luo Junyao, and he was not in a good mood. Even facing Shen Lingxiang, who had a good relationship with him in the past, he was a little cold and said: "The threshold of the Luo family is high, what can I do as a small county head?"
Easy to say."
"Ah Yuan?" Shen Lingxiang was blocked by her, his face turned pale as if he was hit hard, and his body was shaky.
"Ah Yuan!" Seeing her like this, Xie Chengyou couldn't help but frown and said, "Ling Xiang didn't provoke you, why are you angry at her?"
Xie Yuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he said angrily: "What did I say wrong? You blame me when others make me angry? Are you still not my eldest brother?"
Xie Chengyou frowned, and Shen Lingxiang quickly whispered: "I know Ayuan is in a bad mood, and I didn't mean to say these words. Master Xuanyu, don't blame her."
Then he looked at Xie Yuan and whispered: "Ayuan, are you angry with me?"
Xie Yuan has always had a good relationship with Shen Lingxiang. Although she was a little unhappy with Xie Chengyou's attitude just now, seeing Shen Lingxiang's dejected look, she felt that she had gone too far to vent her anger on her.
He snorted softly before saying: "I'm not angry, I'm just in a bad mood."
Shen Lingxiang then smiled and said, "I know A-Yuan is my best friend, so why would you be angry with me? It's rare for A-Yuan to come to Luo Mansion, why don't you go sit in my yard for a while?"
Xie Yuan shook his head and said: "No, let's wait another day. I'm afraid the Luo family won't welcome us."
Shen Lingxiang sighed softly and said, "Okay then, I'll see you at the academy another day."
Then he looked at Han and Xie Chengyou apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for delaying the time of the young lady and Mr. Xuanyu."
Han glanced at Shen Lingxiang, but she was not as easy to fool as Xie Yuan, nor was she like Xie Chengyou who had a natural filter for Shen Lingxiang.
He snorted lightly and ignored Shen Lingxiang, saying: "Let's go."
When the butler saw that they had finished speaking, he stepped forward and said, "Please, three of you."
"Wait a minute!" Behind her, Luo Junyao hurried over with the box in his arms. Everyone was stunned when they saw her chasing after her, but everyone's expressions were different.
Xie Yuan raised his chin and said with a hint of arrogance: "Why are you chasing after me again? All the money you asked for has been given to you. Don't think about my brother paying attention to you again! Even if you regret it now, it's too late!"
Luo Junyao stood in front of her and glanced at her with some disgust: "You are so good at thinking, why don't you write a storybook? There is a lot of nonsense."
Xie Chengyou took a step back slightly, "Jun... Miss Luo, is there anything else you can do?"
Luo Jun said: "I'm not looking for you."
Pointing at Xie Yuan, he said, "I'm looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Xie Yuan looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you looking for me?"
Luo Junyao flashed his figure, raised his hand and took out a ruby butterfly hairpin that Xie Yuan wore in her hair.
"What are you doing?!" Xie Yuan was shocked and quickly reached out to grab it.
This is her most expensive and favorite hairpin. Each gemstone on it is the purest and most beautiful top-quality ruby tribute from foreign countries, and is carefully crafted by the best craftsmen of the imperial palace.
Although Xie Yuan was the head of the county, he had no fiefdom and only had a salary of several hundred taels of silver every year, as well as a fixed monthly salary of 10 taels of silver from Prince Mu's palace to the girls in the family.
What I want more is the subsidies from my grandfather and parents or the rewards from my elders and the palace during the holidays.
But Xie Yuan's father was just a concubine in the palace, and the good rewards from the palace were not available to her.
She is not poor among noble girls of the same age, but in fact she is not as good as those legitimate daughters of powerful people who are favored at home.
With her little personal money, she couldn't even afford a flower on this hairpin.
Luo Junyao took two steps back to avoid her rushing figure, shook the hairpin in his hand at her, and said, "Mine!"
Xie Yuan said angrily, "What's yours?! This is obviously me..." Halfway through her words, Xie Yuan suddenly remembered that this hairpin was forcibly taken from Luo Jun a year ago by claiming that she was Xie Chengyou's biological sister. Going to.
Luo Junyao also liked the hairpin very much and was a little unhappy at the time. Only Shen Lingxiang persuaded her to take the hairpin away.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan secretly regretted why he went out wearing this hairpin today.
In the past two years, she had gotten a lot of benefits from Luo Junyao, but Su and Luo Mingxiang were very careful, and the rest were all worthless little things, which together were not as valuable as this hairpin.
Luo Junyao handed the banknote box to Lan Yin who was chasing after him. He played with the hairpin in one hand and said, "It's a pity that someone took it away. I'll find someone to dismantle it and make it into a pendant again."
After saying that, he handed it to Lan Zhen who was beside Lan Yin.
Lan Zhen smiled and said: "Okay, girl, I will remember this, and I will send someone to find a skilled master this afternoon."
Xie Yuan bit the corner of his lip, glared at Luo Junyao fiercely, turned around and ran out without saying a word.
Han didn't expect Luo Junyao to show up like this, "Second Miss Luo, you are..."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Let me think about it, who else has taken advantage of me..."
Mr. Han immediately shut up, clutched his handkerchief and chased Xie Yuan away.
Xie Chengyou took a deep breath, stopped looking at Shen Lingxiang who was standing next to him and looked at him pitifully, and walked out quickly without stopping.
Shen Lingxiang, who still had something to say, was dumbfounded and looked at Luo Junyao blankly, "Shaoyao, why are you..."
Luo Junyao didn't feel guilty or embarrassed at all, "What's wrong? This is my thing."
Shen Lingxiang whispered: "The matter has been settled, why do you need to offend the people in Prince Mu's Mansion again? Can't we all get together and disperse?"
Shen Lingxiang was so worried that Luo Junyao had completely offended both Han and Xie Yuan. Luo Junyao was not afraid of them, but if Han and Xie Yuan turned their anger on her...
Just now, Mrs. Han didn't have a good look towards her, and Shen Lingxiang secretly resented her.
She had long known that without Luo Junyao, the people in Prince Mu's Mansion would not look down on her at all.
It is simply impossible for her to marry Xie Chengyou openly!
Now that Prince Mu has obviously completely stopped thinking about Luo Junyao, what should she do?
Luo Junyao didn't care what Shen Lingxiang was thinking, and took Lan Zhenlanyin back to Nuanxinyuan with satisfaction.
Han and Xie Yuan had never taken the original owner seriously before, so she still kept such an expensive treasure for Xie Yuan?
Beautiful thought!
Even if she dismantled it, sold it and gave it to beggars, she would not leave it to Xie Yuan for her to be proud of.
As for the other small gains, don't hold on to them for now, otherwise others will still think that the Luo family and Prince Mu's palace will be involved.
Shen Lingxiang stared at Luo Junyao's leaving figure for a while, then turned and walked towards his yard.
The girl next to me whispered: "Girl, Mrs. Xie and County Master Huaishu seem to be very angry."
Shen Lingxiang closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "You can give my red agate pearl hairpin to A Yuan later."
