Chapter 3: Dare To Rob Things From This Palace?! (3)
Ruan-shi was standing awkwardly on one side. Seeing that Yong’gēr was crying badly, after some thinking, she pulled off the jade pendant at her waist and handed it to him, “Yong’gēr is a good boy; don’t cry, this…”
But before the jade pendant could be held by Yong’gēr, it was snatched by a small plump hand that had stretched out of nowhere.
Seeing that it was her daughter who had grabbed the jade pendant and quickly climbed back to hold the treasure box, Ruan-shi couldn’t help but feel a headache coming. She coaxed her softly with patience, “Little Treasure, be obedient and give back the things to mother.”
“Baa—!” Xu Yun Yao refuted!
Never!
“Why are you crying? There’s nothing to see!” Seeing the treasure having gone again, Qian-shi slapped her little grandson’s butt. At once, Yong’gēr cried loudly again.
“Yong’gēr, look, this Osmanthus cake is sweet and delicious. Do you want to try it?” Cui Wen was holding a plate of cake in her hand as she bent slightly to cajole the little fat son, who was shedding tears with snot.
Yong’gēr was attracted by the attractive sweet fragrance, and the crying stopped gradually. He reached out his hand to get it. However, Qian-shi squeezed him hard on his butt-cheek, “Eat, eat, eat; all you know is how to eat! Coming to mooch for food, are you a beggar?!”
While cursing, she also gave Cui Wen a hard look and snorted coldly at Ruan-shi, “We come from rural areas, so it’s really a bit of a nuisance. We also dare not disturb you, these nobles!”
After saying that, she glanced at Xu Yun Yao with a hateful expression and forcibly held Yong’gēr, who was crying his lungs out.
Ruan-shi’s smile had almost faded now. After a long time, she sighed helplessly, looked at her daughter who was still tightly holding the treasure box, and stretched out her hand to pinch the little girl’s face lightly, “Why are you so overbearing, you little bad girl?”
It was against Xu Yun Yao’s grain, and she started to blabber. Baaa-baaa—!
What’s the matter with you, woman? Those people dare to rob things from your house; however, not only do you not protect it, but you also blame this palace?! You need to know that this kind of greedy person, if you give her half a step, she will step by step climb over your head and bully you!
This palace does a good deed every day, and you, this woman, not only do not know how to repay my kindness but blame me instead?! That old fart was ruthless and full of intrigue. How dare he marry a lady like you—a soft steamed stuffed bun who can be rounded up and flattened?!
“I think the little girl did the right thing! This is how it should be, lest the old lady thinks of our family as her treasury and come here every now and then to search for things.” Aside, Bi Wen interrupted the mother and daughter.
Xu Xun Yao gave her a look of approval.
Ruan-shi shook her head and said, “I do understand what you said, but it’s just a family relation. If you are too fussy and hurt the feelings of your relatives, it is not good; even the master can’t do it. It is better to hide things in the future!”
”What relatives? It is clearly the big master’s relatives over there, having nothing to do with us. Besides, there is no such thing as a thousand days’ protection against thieves in this world.” Bi Wen whispered.
Immediately, Xu Yun Yao was even angrier at Ruan-shi’s brutal attack on her and gave her another babbling lesson.
This woman, how could you say that to this palace! They are not decent relatives, at all! What kind of harm does not hurt relatives? What is this much ado about nothing? Also, you can put things in your room as you like, but you still have to worry about others.
Baaaa! Baaa!
Naturally, Ruan-shi did not understand what she said but saw her red face prattling on and on. Laughing in her heart, she pinched her fleshy face fondly.
“Madam also doesn’t have to worry. I watched the old woman go to the old lady’s yard. One doesn’t visit a temple without a cause, so how could she “leave” so easily?” Cui Wen could not hide her mocking tone.
