The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 512
Facing the mirror, she shook her head, letting her black hair fall vertically.

The maid held a jade comb in her hand, and combed the hair gently and carefully for an hour at a time.

Mrs. Lin opened her eyes slightly with her eyes closed, reached out to the yellow rosewood dressing table, and pulled the drawer vigorously, revealing the full amount of jewelry.

"Does it look good?"

"Looks good," the young maid walked gently behind her, "I'll get it for you whichever one Madam likes."

Seeing the pleasing look with lowered eyebrows, Mrs. Lin was completely relieved.

It's like this girl who hasn't seen much in the world is easy to fool, and being too shrewd can be a bad thing.

"Well, bring me that mahogany box."

"Yes."

She glanced at the box that the maid held in both hands, took it and slowly opened the silver lock on it, intentionally choosing an angle facing the window, so as to reveal the treasure inside.

Her room is not wide and the windows are small, but the few furniture in it are carefully selected, and each piece can withstand the pickiness of any eye.

Not to mention the texture of the Turkish wool carpet under your feet, the Western chandelier above your head that is bigger than a millstone is worth hundreds of oceans.

This jewelry was brought by her from Lin's house, and it has been stored for some years. Because it is worn with care, it still looks like new.

"Ma'am, you look great in it."

An extremely beautifully carved bracelet was put on Mrs. Lin's white and thin wrist.There are several big gemstones embedded in the pattern, shining brightly.

Before, she was plump than now, and the bracelet was not too big or small, and the size was extremely suitable.

Now it's loose, sliding all the way down the smooth skin.A little slower, the whole bracelet rolled down on the dressing table with a "jingle", as if mocking the master's embarrassment.

When the clock on the wall hit the hour, a metal bird jumped out.Listening to the mournful sound of the bell, her heart was bleeding.

Gritting his teeth, he turned around and forced a smile from the corner of his mouth.

"You combed your hair well, this is a gift, take it."

She closed the box with a snap and stuffed it into the hand of the maid holding the jade comb.

The girl looked panicked, her eyes widened and she backed away again and again, the comb in her hand was almost unsteady.

Looking honest, he just kept shaking his head:
"I can't, I can't, my wife's kindness is appreciated."

"If the master knows, he will break my leg, please don't embarrass a new servant"

Listening to the other party's indistinguishable excuses, Mrs. Lin insisted on pulling her arm, and stuffed the whole box into the apron pocket.

The curtains are closed, as are the doors, and there is only a ticking clock, witnessing everything that has happened.

The maid finally accepted a large and expensive jade bracelet.

With a red face and trembling body, he stood leaning on the wall for a long time before slowly walking out the door.

Mrs. Lin also removed a big stone from her chest.

They are strangers to each other and do not owe each other.In this dangerous and lonely place, it is not easy to have someone who is willing to take money to do things.

This day is a little different from usual.The master went out early in the morning, and the people who guarded her were not very careful.

Good things are coming.There will be a wedding at the end of the month, and the bride will be the focus of attention.

Because the host is not around, it is rare to seize the opportunity to go out twice.

The young maid accompanied her to the carriage.Serve the guards with pre-prepared preserves.

The candied fruit didn't look strange.

The guard driving the car felt a stomachache soon after eating it.

In order to maintain his dignity, he had to hold on until he was about a hundred meters away from Li Ji's tailor shop before he completely collapsed.

"Ma'am, I have a stomachache from the cold, I'm sorry, I can only send you here, and I will pick you up when the time comes."

When the figure holding his stomach and looking miserable, and running to the small alley to find the latrine gradually disappeared, Mrs. Lin had already brought the maid into the shop.

Everything went according to plan and went very smoothly.

As long as Ms. He can arrive at Li Ji's tailor shop on time, they can meet smoothly, and with Li Yan who is outside to support them, escape will be a matter of course.

In those days of mental torture, she shed many tears of resignation.

As long as I can see my long-lost daughter and husband, everything is worth it
The hurried woman didn't notice that two pairs of eyes spotted her almost at the same time.

"Don't get excited!"

Qilan took the first step, holding back Li Yan who was about to chase, and preventing him from moving forward.

Li Yan was very annoyed, knocked off his hand, and protested dissatisfiedly:

"Why are you here to make trouble! I'm here to do business, not to play!"

"Listen," Qilan looked at him seriously, "I just went to Miss He's house, and she was stuck in the room and couldn't get out. I'm afraid your plans will change soon."

"I don't care about other people," he shook his head stubbornly, "Madam only trusts me, so let me go alone!"

"You insist on going your own way, but I won't let you!"

As soon as the voice fell, a fist hit him head-on.

Qilan didn't expect that Li Yan would exert such great strength, and didn't think about hiding.The temple was hit hard, and the body swayed.

A sharp pain spread out.

"Little scholar, are you okay? I didn't mean to hit you"

After beating someone with a heavy hand, my heart was in a mess, and I realized that there is no medicine for regret in the world.

"I don't blame you," Qilan stood firm and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "but today you have to listen to my advice, don't rush in and see your wife soon."

Both were deadlocked.

One to stop, one to attack, both of them are in extreme embarrassment.

"Miss He, why hasn't she come? My wife must be in a hurry. Shall we go in and have a look together?"

Li Yanjiu couldn't wait for anyone, touched his swollen head, and couldn't help feeling confused.

"I told you that they can't come. They also told me that my wife can only come out once a day. But I have seen her on Wenmo Road at noon today, and now I can come out again. Don't you think there is something wrong with it? "

"Wenmo Road?! How could my wife go there in broad daylight?"

Even the little guard refused to believe him.

Thinking of the plight of the benefactor's family, and the unavoidable involvement of the elder who was related by blood, my whole heart became tangled up in a mess.

"I just came back from Dean Dong's office early in the morning. I heard that your uncle is going to marry Miss Xiaomei in these two days. Maybe that's why the care of his wife has been relaxed."

Qilan was punched dizzy, but her mind was still clear.

It's time to say it.Even if he couldn't persuade him verbally, he still tried his best to drag Li Yan and not act rashly.

"Don't mention this man to me! It's a disgrace to be associated with a scumbag!"

After venting his anger, Li Yan sat down on the ground sullenly, covering his buzzing head:
"No, my head is going to explode!"

"It's a good thing that Shi'an can't come. A girl is kind enough to help, how can we bear to let her take risks."

"I'll go in to find out the situation. If the time is right and you and I can work together to rescue my wife, that would be great."

After Qilan finished speaking, she patted the dust off her body, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door with her head held high.

Since Shi'an can't come, it is necessary for him to meet Mrs. Lin in person and tell her that the plan has changed and he should not be too impatient.
