Under the candlelight, the Golden Butterfly flapped its wings and flew away. The emerald treasure shone with a bright light, appearing extremely magnificent. Unfortunately, it didn't enter Lee Miaoyin's eyes.
She shook her head: "Although this hairpin is good but it doesn't suit me. If you like it then I will give it to you."
Xiaotao hurriedly waved her hands and put the chai back into the Eight Treasure Chest. "Miss, how could I, maidservant, have the status to wear such a thing? I can't do that."
Lee Miaoyin didn't think this way. In her heart, Xiaotao was just like her own sister. She had never thought of her as maidservant. Since she had something good, she naturally wanted to share it with her sister.
Ignoring Xiaotao's objection, she forced the pair of butterfly hairpins into Xiaotao's hair. She tilted her head and looked for a long time before she smiled and said, "It's not suitable to wear it now. When you get married, I'll personally wear it for you."
Xiaotao nodded silently as tears flickered in her eyes. She was maidservant, but Miss had always treated her as a sister. She had been through many lives of good fortune before she met a good person like Miss.
The two of them descended from the pavilion. It was almost dusk, and it was time for them to return to the Lee Mansion. The master and the servant looked at each other and smiled, which contained helplessness and bitterness.
Their valuables were all placed in this Renhe Hall pavilion and they had never dared to place them in the Palace. It could be seen what kind of life they were leading in the Palace.
Lee Miaoyin patted the back of Xiaotao's hand and comforted, "It won't be long before you leave Lee Mansion with me, completely and utterly."
Recently, Madame Xu and Old Granny's gazes had been on her a lot. She knew that this day would eventually come. She had waited for a long time, and she had also planned a long time for this.
Before that, she had to try to get Xiaotao's indenture contract from Madame Xu.
When he returned to the Lee Mansion, he heard Madame Xu's and the Old Granny's laughter from far away.
"Look at our Yu'er's figure, she really looks good in anything." Madame Xu's voice was very special. It was sharp, yet soft, and discernible. For this reason, anyone could hear even the tiniest hint of emotion behind her words.
Facing Lee Miaoyu at this moment, Madame Xu had no choice but to pretend to be happy, especially in front of Lee Chengji.
This kind of conversation between people who forced themselves to laugh was obviously not an easy one. From Madame Xu's voice, it could be seen that she was extremely impatient.
Without stopping, Lee Miaoyin walked around the lobby and entered her own small house in the backyard.
"Miss, I heard that Madam was being tormented by Lee Miaoyu these past few days. The clothes that she had someone make for Lee Miaoyu were thrown out of the courtyard by Lee Miaoyu. She said that she would rather not go to Hibiscus Feast dressed like that." Xiaotao covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She cheered in her heart at the thought of Madame Xu being tormented by Lee Miaoyu. Neither of these two was a good person. She wanted them to fight against each other, so she decided to just watch the show.
Lee Miaoyin only smiled and shook her head, "Lee Miaoyu is also an impatient person. She wants to punish Madame Xu, why the rush? When she marries into the high school, will she still have a chance to do so? "Currently, she's just a young lady who has yet to leave the pavilion, and is also a concubine. If she were to offend Madame Xu like this and fail to climb up to a higher branch, her life will not be so good."
Xiaotao nodded, "That's right, she's so arrogant. Those who don't know about it might think that her marrying into the Qi Residence is certain. What's funny is that Young Master Qi doesn't like her at all."
Thinking of Qi Hongxuan's handsome and upright figure, the gentle and soft talking appearance of the young miss, Xiaotao snorted complacently and said, "Is she worthy of that? He also doesn't look at himself in the mirror and boasts of his beauty all day long, as if he's truly unrivaled under the heavens with his devastatingly beautiful women. How laughable. "
