Chapter 14: Old Madam's Ashen Face
Old Madam's face was ashen. "Xianyu, tell me why you hit your uncle and family! If you can't come up with a reason, you lie down too!"
Bai Xianyu looked confused. "Grandmother, do I actually have an uncle?"
Old Madam looked displeased, as if she was suppressing her anger. "Your uncle's family returned to their hometown in the early years, but he's your father's biological younger brother. He has to return to the General's Manor sooner or later."
Bai Xianyu nodded, but she was a little puzzled. "His hometown is… Qingzhou, right? It turns out that Qingzhou is so rich. Big Sister Yu'er was actually able to buy the same Flowing-Cloud Hairpin which my Second Brother gave me."
Old Madam's expression froze.
Many people had surrounded the courtyard. There were servants, guards, and a few housekeeping servants. At this moment, they could not help but discuss in private.
"Flowing-Cloud Hairpin? That's a hairpin which Second Young Master made with gems from the Western Region. There's only one piece, and it's very rare!"
"Oh my god, it's really the Flowing-Cloud Hairpin. Miss once wore it. I remember it was the same as the one on this girl's head. It's exactly the same."
Under the angry gazes of the Bai family, Bai Xianyu curled her red lips and walked to Bai Yu'er. Her jade-like hand easily removed the swaying hairpin from her hair.
Green Pearl found it strange. She also felt that this hairpin looked familiar. It was too similar to Miss's hairpin.
Old Madam's expression was ugly. "Isn't it just a broken hairpin? What's so rare about it? You can buy it, but your Big Sister can't?"
Bai Xianyu's beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked radiant, but the color of her pupils was even more soul-stirring than the gems on the hairpin. Her voice was a little frivolous.
"…Yes, if I could buy it, she can't." She opened her palm. There was actually a clasp on the inside of the hairpin. With a slight press, a lifelike fish appeared. The fish swam in the clouds, and it could be said to be a wonderful mechanism.
Bai Yu'er looked at it in shock. She liked this hairpin the most and would wear it wherever she went. She did not expect it to be used in such a way.
Immediately, the girl's voice was clear and arrogant. "If this hairpin was given to me, there wouldn't be a second one."
Old Madam's face was hot. She shot a look at the nanny beside her. The nanny immediately understood and began to chase the servants away.
"What are you all looking at? Get back to work!"
Bai Yuantai took a while to recover. When he saw the old lady in front of him, he immediately grabbed her sleeve and cried, "Mother, this girl from Elder Brother's family is very vicious. She didn't hold back at all. I, your son, almost died…"
Unexpectedly, Old Madam, who had always favored her youngest son, had no intention of avenging him. "It's alright, Xianyu couldn't recognize you. This is a misunderstanding. Let's talk about it another day."
Bai Yu'er was indignant, but Old Madam immediately got some servants to carry them to her courtyard.
Bai Xianyu hooked her finger around the Flowing-Cloud Hairpin and her eyelashes slightly converged. She did not look at those few people.
Green Pearl said in surprise, "Miss, why did Old Madam not pursue the matter when you mentioned the hairpin? I saw how angry Old Madam was just now. It felt like she was going to hit you the next second!"
"That was …"
Bai Xianyu cursed in her heart. That was the youngest son she had favored since he was young. He was more important to Old Madam than her own life. Before her father got into the military, their family was very poor and they could not go to school even if they wanted to, but her uncle, Bai Yuantai, was coaxed by Old Madam to go to school.
"because Grandmother sent someone to steal this hairpin from my store."
