NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11 - II
“You, when did I take your token of love?” Seeing Li Tianyan’s change of attitude, Cheng Si’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“The Qingtai hairpin on your head was given to you by me. If it wasn’t a token of love, I wouldn’t have spent a lot of money to buy such a thing.” Li Tianyan replied mercilessly.
If Cheng Si hadn’t been aggressive as soon as they met, Li Tianyan wouldn’t have planned to get into trouble with a little girl. But since Cheng Si brought it up herself, he didn’t mind asking for something back.
When Cheng Si heard this, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover the hairpin on her head. This Qingtai hairpin was her favorite. She was used to wearing it on weekdays, but she temporarily forgot that it was given by Li Tianyan, “This is obviously…”
“My madam obviously bought this for the young lady. Young master Li can’t slander my young lady like this.” Qiu Ling, the maid behind Cheng Si, stepped forward and said to Li Tianyan confidently.
Cheng Si felt it was inappropriate to lie this, but she thought it was gift from Li Tianyan. As long as Li Tianyan had no evidence, it was fine so she did not stop it.
“Your maid is more shameless than you.” Li Tianyan looked at the two-complaining people in front of him with a look of disgust. He really didn’t understand what the original owner thought; he just thought that this girl was beautiful, but unfortunately, she didn’t have any majestic aura, and her temper was even worse. It was hard to describe.
Compared to the little shuanger in his courtyard, it was really the sky and the earth. Li Tianyan was really glad he was not married to the woman in front of him now.
“You…” Cheng Si had always been praised by others everywhere before. Never had she ever felt such regret and humiliation, and was made blushing by Li Tianyan’s words.
“Young master Li, please respect yourself.” Qiu Ling didn’t expect Li Tianyan to be so direct. Seeing that the young lady’s face was red with anger, she hurriedly spoke.
“I dare to ask the young lady, where did Madam Cheng buy the hairpin? Is there any evidence? I have the receipt here. Why don’t the young lady Cheng to come to Laibao Pavilion with me, and we can know what’s on your head? Is it the hairpin I bought or not, so that I can restore my reputation today.” Li Tianyan said to Cheng Si with a smile.
“Maybe I have too much jewelry, and Qiu Ling remembered it wrong. Since you gave it to me, I’ll just give it back to you.” Cheng Si naturally couldn’t go to Laibao Pavilion with Li Tianyan, so she took off the hairpin and threw it back with some annoyance.
Li Tianyan used his feet to catch the hairpin that had not yet landed. In the blink of an eye, the hairpin was already in his hand. “That’s right. Since you have nothing to do with them, it’s better to distinguish them. Otherwise, the lady will go out wearing the tokens I gave her every day. I feel uncomfortable with the ostentation outside.”
Cheng Si watched Li Tianyan walk into the main courtyard without looking back. It wasn’t until his figure disappeared at the door that she raised her hand angrily and slapped the maid in the face. “Who let you to talk too much.”
Now because of the hairpin her face was gone, if she had known better, it would be better to just return it to him.
Naturally, the movements outside could not escape Li Tianyan’s ears, but he was not a petty person. He shrugged and put away the hairpin he had just received. He was worried that there were too few things to use now.
.
Not long after Li Tianyan left Qingzhu Courtyard, a sturdy nanny walked in with several servants. At this time, only Cheng Qi, Xiao Liu, and Li Wu were in Qingzhu Courtyard. They saw the sudden menacing arrival. Cheng Qi thought they were here to arrest him again and punish him by kneeling down in the Jingxin Hall, so he nervously pinched the corner of Xiao Liu’s clothes.
“Don’t be afraid, young madam, nothing will happen to you.” Xiao Liu was also frightened when he saw these people. It stood a reason that the young master and the young madam had been getting along well these past two days, and he would not let the young madam be punished again.
Unlike Xiao Liu, Li Wu immediately greeted the person who came in with a smile. “Auntie Xing, are you here for something today?”
“Check to see if it’s true.” Aunt Xing glanced at Xiao Liu intentionally or unintentionally as she spoke.
After hearing this, Li Wu pretended to be surprised and said, “Auntie Xing, who did you hear this from? It’s nothing.”
“Whether it’s true or not, we’ll find out after a search.” After finishing speaking, Aunt Xing called the servant behind her and winked.
Aunt Xing was the housekeeper responsible for disciplining the servants of the Li Mansion. How could Xiao Liu not recognize her since he was born in the Li Mansion? After hearing this, he already knew what happened today was for him, and he couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
Before Cheng Qi could figure out what was happening, he saw two men walking into the room where he and Xiao Liu lived to search. When he saw his baggage being pulled out of the bed by a man, there was a sudden “buzz” in his head.
