Daughter of the Prince of Rebirth

Chapter 290: The Young Master's Wise and Brain-Disabled Girl Disfigured (4)
But what is the purpose of the person who harmed her?

"Miss, there is another piece of good news." Qin'er said mysteriously, "On the sixth day of next month, Mu Xuelian, a daughter of Duke Wei's mansion, is going to marry Li Xiangdong!" No, how to support that arrogant and extravagant young lady?
Murong Yu sipped the tea in his cup lightly: "The date is settled so soon?" Wei Guogong was really anxious.

"Miss didn't go out recently, you don't know, there are dozens of versions about the rumors about Li Xiangdong and Mu Xuelian outside!" Speaking of this matter, the maids of Yanyu Pavilion, their eyes sparkled: "Some It is said that Mu Xuelian and Li Xiangdong have made a private decision for life long ago, Wei Guogong disliked that Li Xiangdong came from a poor background, had no official position, and refused to marry his daughter to him, that's why the two were caught having an affair in the palace..."

"Others said that Li Xiangdong coveted Mu Xuelian's beauty, and was obsessed with it for a while, and molested her, forcing her to marry..."

"What's more, Mu Xuelian was born lustful, promiscuous, unwilling to be hungry and thirsty, she couldn't hold back when she was attending a banquet in the palace, and seduced Li Xiangdong..."

Murong Yu rolled his eyelids helplessly: These little maids are all masters of gossip...

After the new year, Aunt Ma's delivery date is getting closer and closer. Apart from the people in the Hou family, Yang Shi and Lei Shi who are mothers and natal sister-in-laws are also busy.

"Whatever you want to eat, just tell me, I'll let the kitchen do it!" Yang Shi pays more attention to the child in Aunt Ma's womb than the old lady.

Aunt Ma shook her head and said with a smile: "I don't have much appetite recently, I can't eat anything... Is there anyone on the street who cooks sugar-fried chestnuts?"

"There should be." Yang nodded. In previous years, there were fried chestnuts after the new year, and this year was no exception: "Do you want fried chestnuts with sugar?"

Aunt Ma nodded: "I'll ask Hongling to buy it..."

"The maids don't know if it's good or bad, let your sister-in-law buy it, she's the best at choosing fried chestnuts with sugar!"

Lei Shi was displeased in his heart, but still had an affectionate look on his face: "Yeah, what do you like to eat, just tell me, I'll go buy it myself." Secretly gave Yang Shi a hard look, Lei Shi snorted softly, daughter It's just an aunt of the Hou's mansion, and she actually let her daughter-in-law, who was originally married, serve her. This old woman's heart is so biased!
Aunt Ma smiled: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, just buy fried chestnuts with sugar!" She didn't have much appetite for other things.

Lei Shi carried a small basket, took the silver, and left the pear garden with a smile on his face. He went to the street to buy sugar-fried chestnuts, and passed by Yuelin Pavilion. Kong, haha, Murong Lin, let you and Chongzhou snatch the invitation again, you will be punished, the invitation belongs to my Chongzhou, you snatched it into the palace, no accident...

With a good mood of gloating, Mrs. Lei left Zhongyonghou's mansion.

The Qingsong capital is bustling, and the streets are very lively with people coming and going. Lei Shi was looking for fried chestnuts while walking, and finally saw a store selling them, so he walked over quickly.

Aunt Ma likes to eat this kind of taste, in order to prevent herself from making another trip, Lei Shi bought a big bag full, but the copper coins on her body were not enough, so she handed over a ten tael ingot of silver.

The owner of the stall had a lot of scattered silver taels, so he couldn't find them, so he went to the stall next door to exchange for the broken silver taels. Lei Shi stood in front of the stall and waited. Neat women's beautiful ready-to-wear, and a golden hairpin.

The appearance of the hairpin is very ordinary, only a little shape is made, and no other decorations are inlaid on it, but Lei Shi's eyes light up in an instant. She lives in an official's house, so she can naturally see that the hairpin is Pure gold should be saved by oneself and then processed into hairpins, otherwise, it is impossible not to inlay other things.

Although Lei's jewelry is exquisite, it is mixed with many impure things and can only be regarded as third-class goods. This golden hairpin is full of gold, and if it is taken out like this, it can be regarded as second-class goods. Add some pearls and the like to decorate, that is top-notch goods.

Looking up at the stall owner, who was still exchanging silver taels with someone, Lei Shi's eyes flickered, and he reached out and took the golden hairpin and stuffed it into his sleeve...

After the stall owner finished exchanging the silver, he returned to the front of the stall and gave the broken silver to Lei Shi. Lei Shi took the silver and left the stall quickly as if fleeing...

Walking to an unoccupied corner, Lei Shi took out the golden hairpin, looked it over carefully, and was delighted, the style of the hairpin is too ordinary, I don’t like it, I will take it to a shop to melt it down another day, and reprocess it, it will be fine Wearing it to go out, although it is not as good as Murong Yu's jewelry, but it is still very good...

"Stole other people's hairpins and are still complacent here, don't you have any sense of shame!" Around the corner, a beautiful young woman walked out, she was Aunt Zhang.

Lei Shi was startled, and quickly hid the hairpin, eyes flickering, and said vigilantly: "Who are you?" Oops, stealing the gold hairpin was unexpectedly discovered by someone, what should I do?

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you stole someone else's golden hairpin, and you will be sent to the government for punishment..." Aunt Zhang was leisurely.

"You are talking nonsense, I obviously bought this golden hairpin..." Lei Shi argued, but obviously lacked confidence, his eyes turned sharply, thinking about the solution.

"The stall owner has already found out that he has lost something, and he is looking around in a hurry. Do you dare to go back and confront me? He has saved money for several years, and just made a golden hairpin for his wife. He intends to give it to her as a birthday present. Sending it away, I never thought it would be stolen by you..." Aunt Zhang's eyes were sharp, she sneered coldly, and pressed her every step of the way: "If it is known, the daughter-in-law of a dignified fifth-rank official will actually steal the money that the peddler has painstakingly saved. The gold hairpin made from money, tsk tsk, bullying the common people and the weak, you have lost the face of the Ma family, guess, will your father-in-law or mother-in-law force you to divorce you?"

Stealing is a crime. No official will tolerate people with dirty hands and feet in their homes. Even if it is just to appease public anger, Master Ma will let his son divorce Lei without hesitation!
"Who the hell are you, and how do you know this?" Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lei's eyes were filled with horror: If she reported on herself, her life would be over.
