Chapter 41: Reluctantly giving up one’s treasure
Li Chang Le keenly smelling something was off, quickly said: "Meimei is really confused, forgetting what you have sent.”
Li Wei Yang’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise: “Dajie, what I gave to Dage in return is a jade green ink stone,” after saying that, her eyes fell on the beautiful mandarin ducks pouch on Li Min Feng’s waist, said: “Is this not the pouch that Dage is talking about?"
Li Min Feng’s expression abruptly changed: “Since Sanmei did not send it, then I must have remembered it wrong.”
Li Wei Yang has already approached him, suddenly pointed to the pouch on his waist, and said with surprise: “Aiya, isn’t this pouch Zi Yan’s?” then turning her head, with a faint smile at Zi Yan, said: “Your embroidery and Ping Cheng’s second Xiaojie’s nimble embroidery are the same, exquisite stitches, bright harmonious colours, in our Prime Minister’s residence, there is no other who can do that.”
Everyone was surprised, Li Chang Ru said in a muffled voice: "What is this, how could the main brother carry a pouch made by a maid?!”
Lao Furen’s face fell, secretly using her master’s name to send a pouch, this maid’s courage was too much!
Zi Yan turned pale, knelt on the floor with a thud, trembling: “Nubi, Nubi was following San Xiaojie’s instructions in sending the pouch…”
Li Wei Yang looked at the pouch, sighed and said: "If you and Dage have fallen in love just say it, why do you know the plank road darkness? I am brother's sister, even if I want to send a pouch, I should send a Peng bird Or Golden Toad, to send mandarin ducks paddling, what is that?
Zi Yan suddenly understood everything, San Xiaojie already knew that she would send a pouch with significance of love, and was sure that the young master would accept it, only it was herself who did not think otherwise, therefore falling into the enemy’s trap! But now it was too late for regrets!
Not only Lao Furen, even the expression on Da Furen’s face was unpleasant. The young master was not married, yet he became interested in his sister’s maid Zi Yan. This would cause people to unconsciously doubt his character. Da Furen coldly said: “Min Feng, You’re too outrageous! You dare to accept other people’s stuff!”
Li Min Feng glanced at Zi Yan, but did not panic too much, “Mother, I did not think much of it, just saw that the pouch is pretty, therefore I accepted it.”
Redeeming himself cleanly? You wish! Li Wei Yang’s face reveal rebuke: “Dage, don’t be embarrassed, your generosity to me, I did not know how to thank, since Dage like Zi Yan this maid, obviously I will help you attain your wish.” On saying this, she glanced at Zi Yan.
Li Min Feng looked as usual: “I appreciate your kindness, but----“
Li Wei Yang was full of smiles: “What is Dage saying, you’re such a smart person, how could you not guess that the gift was sent by Zi Yan, if you didn’t like her, why would you carry the pouch with you!”
Li Min Feng was surprised for a moment, he only carried the pouch in order for Zi Yan to confidently complete the tasks for him, never thought that it would become a weapon for Li Wei Yang to use against him, he sneered and said: “San Meimei sure is clever, hearing your words, mean that you even know what is in my heart!” His words lacked confidence, how to say that he did not have an intention towards Zi Yan, this was not some honest situation.
Li Chang Le frowned, said: “Sanmei, it’s just a misunderstanding, don’t think too much on it.”
Li Wei Yang laughed and said: “Dajie, Zi Yan accompanied me to the capitol from the far away Ping City, I have an obligation to find a good home for her. Since Dage like her, and she is infatuated, I sincerely want to grant their wish.” She looked at the frowning Li Min Feng: “Although Zi Yan is of low status, however being the fragrant added to Dage’s red sleeve is more than enough, Dage has accepted her token of affection, you cannot trample on her feelings, it is not good if this spread out.”
San Furen smiled slightly, then lowered her head to drink tea.
Da Furen’s face was so gloomy it might rain. Er Furen listened for a long time, now laughing and said: “Really need to congratulate Feng er, I see that this girl is not only born beautiful, but also very clever, it’s very rare ah.”
Li Chang Ru also echoed: “Yes, Zi Yan is a clever girl, last time I asked Sanmei for her, but Sanmei is not willing! This time Dage has gotten quite the deal!”
Shitty deal! Da Furen’s brows were twitching, her eyes chilly. Lao Ye really disliked young masters of the house fooling around with maids. With this turn of event, Li Min Feng became interested in a maid from his sister’s house, Lao Ye would be furious! But Li Min Feng clearly knew that the one who sent the pouch is Zi Yan, not sure why he actually accepted the pouch, causing Da Furen to be puzzled and distressed: “This girl is well-behaved and clever, come with me first, after she is taught then she can be send to Xiuzhu house.”
No matter what, definitely could not let this vixen into her son’s house! Da Furen made up her mind!
“In that case, Mother please instruct Zi Yan properly.” Li Wei Yang glanced at Li Min Feng: “If it wasn’t for Dage treating me so well, such a sweet and obedient girl like Zi Yan, I would definitely not let her up!.”
Li Min Feng looked at her coldly: "then I thank Sanmei." Since success will naturally come soon, leaving Zi Yan at Li Wei Yang’s side is not of much use.
Zi Yan was listening, her face showing happiness. Regardless of San Xiaojie’s intention, she had finally gotten her wish of entering the young master’s house!
Li Min Feng was annoyed, but upon thinking that Li Wei Yang would soon pay for her own behaviour, the smile on his face deepened, setting aside the current matter, he turned to Li Chang Le and winked at her.
Li Chang Le understood, smiled and walked over, picked up the tea cup beside Lao Furen: “Lao Furen, please have some tea.”
Lao Furen subconsciously accepted it, Li Chang Le’s hand slipped, suddenly cried out, the cup fell to the ground, broken with tea spilt on the floor!
The sound shocked everyone in the room.
Already a maid rushed over, nimbly picking up the broken pieces. Li Chang Le looked embarrassed, would lower herself to bend down, as if to help, scaring the maids.
At this time, Li Chang Le suddenly cried out, picked up a piece of the debris from the ground, said: “What is this?”
The maid, Lu Xin, laughed: “Responding to Da Xiaojie, this is the red ginseng that Lao Furen normally eats.”
Red ginsengs were precious, not only restoring vitality, blood, but also calming the mind, although the taste was bitter. Normally red ginsengs were stewed together with duck soup, or cut the red ginseng into thin slices, to drink with tea. This point, Li Chang Le clearly knew, yet why did she ask? Everyone thought it was weird.
Li Chang Le seemed to wish to say something but having second thought, the slice of red ginseng clenched tightly in her hands, Lao Furen looked at her, said: “What is it?”
Li Chang Le’s arched eyebrows frown slightly, disturbed: “This is not a red ginseng slice, this is Suzi.”
Li Wei Yang heard it, her eyes suddenly turning cold, it finally came!

ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me another novel with a character like Wei Yang? I really like her Anti-hero character.
Hi :) I've actually first became interest in Chinese novels when I heard about Chu Wang Fei. The main protagonist is similar to Wei Yang except instead of being reborn, the main lead time traveled back. Feel free to check that out since it is being translated by another blogger.
