Chapter 22 Past and Present
The old and new lady was peeling edamame at the door. This was given to her by a cook in the back kitchen. My Nuo'er had loved eating edamame steamed egg custard since she was a child. With some sesame oil added, she could eat a whole bowl with her small body.

The sound of soft footsteps sounded. The new and old ladies looked up and saw Xin Nuo, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? You were still happy when you went out. Why is your little face wrinkled like this?"

"Grandma, where did you get the edamame?" Xinnuo squatted down next to the old lady, pinched a green edamame and squeezed out the round beans inside.

The new and old lady said: "There is a dish-picker in the kitchen, Grandma Liu, who gave it to me."

He reached out and scratched her nose, "If you're not happy living here, let's leave."

When she first came, Xin Nuo was unwilling. Now she is asked to leave, but she doesn't want to leave.

Because she always felt that she had been to this place before.

"Grandma, I want to stay a little longer." Her fair and tender fingers flexibly peeled out the edamame beans one by one. There was a hawthorn tree. I went to see it this morning, and it was true. Moreover, I came from Mrs. Cheng's yard and deliberately didn't take the path that the maid took, but I still found it successfully. "

The new and old ladies were also surprised. Normally Nuo'er shouldn't have any impression of this place.She was not born in the mansion, let alone lived here.

Is it a coincidence?
Xinnuo said: "There are no coincidences in the world. If there are, there must be causes."

"Oh?" the old lady said with a smile, "could it be that Nuo'er was a child of their Cheng family in her previous life?"

Ben was just joking, but Xin Nuo actually nodded.

"Grandma, maybe I really lived here in my previous life." Xin Nuo unconsciously touched her chest, looked at the scenery around her, and said, "Moreover, it is still a very unpleasant life. Especially that Mrs. Cheng and the people she raised That daughter, when I see them, I occasionally have the urge to tear them apart."

The old and new lady was startled, but then became amused: "You girl, you have been talking nonsense since you were a child."

Xinnuo shook his head: She was not talking nonsense.

Especially the voice she heard today doubled the anger in her heart.

Even on the way back, Xinnuo arranged several ways for her to die.

While they were talking, a pretty maid came over and said that she was here to deliver clothes to Xin Nuo on the order of Mrs. Cheng.

As soon as Xinnuo looked at the rosewood tray with the clothes on it, she knew that the old lady of the Cheng family was not well-meaning.

Seeing that she didn't get up to pick it up, the maid smiled and said, "This is the only style of clothing available at Madam Fang's tailor shop outside. The second young lady wanted it before, but the old lady said it was too expensive and too extravagant for a child to wear. But she didn't hesitate. I bought it for you, miss, why don’t you go try it soon.”

Xinnuo then thanked her and took the entire tray, "Then thank grandma for me."

The maid was dumbfounded: That is the old lady's most proud flower plate with ice patterns.

Xinnuo had already turned around, carrying the clothes and heading into the house. I didn't know what a good tray was.

The maid muttered a few words about the preciousness of the ice-patterned plate to the new and old lady, and after receiving a promise to return it tomorrow, she pouted and turned around to leave.

The new old lady walked into the house with a bamboo basket full of edamame, and saw that the tray and clothes were thrown aside by Nuoer, and asked with a smile: "You don't like things, why do you tease them like this?"

"It's fun," Xin Nuo lay on the bed, rolled over, smacked his lips and said, "Grandma, I want to eat lychees."

The old and new lady put the edamame basket on the table aside, walked over and patted Xinnuo's hand: "You are the only one who knows how to eat it. Do you smell it?"

After saying that, he stood up, took out a food box from the drawer on the side of the cabinet, opened it, and found a plate of ice-cold bright red lychees inside.

"It's true." Xin Nuo quickly sat up, picked up one and peeled it open, fed it to the old lady's mouth, and then peeled one for herself, "Grandpa is partial."

The new and old ladies were amused, "This was just sent by shopkeeper Hong. Weren't you just here?"

"Shopkeeper Hong is here," Xinnuo asked, "Did you bring me a glass mirror from Quanzhou?"

Shopkeeper Hong is a friend of Grandpa's in the world. I don't even know his name, Xin Nuo, but I only know that he controls more than half of the business in Hainan.

All the glazed mirrors shipped from overseas had to be handled by his maritime trading firm.

When Xin Nuo celebrated her eighth birthday, her grandfather invited many old friends. Shopkeeper Hong had met her once before and gave her a beautiful glass mirror inlaid with opal.

Xiao Xinnuo held the mirror and looked pretty for many days, but it was finally broken. Once the clear mirror surface was destroyed, she immediately lost interest. Later, she cut out the cat's eye stone and hunted birds for fun.

Grandpa saw it and scolded her for being extravagant, and then she threw the opal to a little beggar on the road.

After I went back, I remembered that the little beggar might have harmed me.

Every time he thought about this, Xinnuo would worry about whether the little beggar was beaten to death because of the cat's eye stone.

After eating lychees for a while, the old and new lady said, "These are the clothes your grandmother sent you. You can try them on."

The new Nuohou acted coquettishly on the old lady, "Nuo'er is just grandma's granddaughter. Are you not jealous at all when you say that?"

The new and old lady couldn't stop laughing. She hugged her and rubbed her back gently, "It's too late for grandma to be happy that one more person loves you. How could you be jealous? The clothes look good to me. Get up and try them on."

Mrs. Cheng has indeed spent a lot of money. This dress is made of moon-white fine silk, and the embroidery is all silver thread. The cuffs and collar are decorated with pearls of the same size.

It's silvery, but not tacky at all.

Wearing this outfit actually doesn't take away any of her beautiful appearance.

On the contrary, it makes her look more luxurious and pure than the moon.

The new and old lady has lived for most of her life. When she saw her granddaughter's beauty, she couldn't help but praise her: "Our Nuo'er is so good-looking. I don't know which brat I will take advantage of in the future."

Thinking of that serious senior brother, Xinnuo couldn't help but smile.

----

After the Cheng family posted most of the inner city posts about the return of the Cheng family's biological daughter, they finally gave an official response to a rumor that spread out from nowhere at night.

Seeing how much the Cheng family valued their biological daughter, some young men who were particularly interested in Cheng Xueyao felt sorry for her when they received the Cheng family's post.

Yuan Chen retweeted the Cheng family's post, his eyes flickering.

"Master, we have been invited," the boy next to him said, "How big of a banquet are the Cheng family planning to host?"

Yuan Chen smiled and said: "Once you are rich and powerful, you can flatter others by grandstanding."

The waiter asked: "Are you going to support the second lady?"

"How can I support her?" Yuan Chen laughed at himself, "But it's okay to go over and say a few words for her."
