Chapter 181 Please Take Responsibility
Chapter 181 Please Take Responsibility
Lin Hongle naturally noticed Shen Yueqiao's unhappiness, but this was the first time he faced her unhappiness directly.
He didn't know what made her unhappy. He just saw her looking at him from a distance, and the excitement in her expression faded away in an instant. Her smile seemed to be frost-filled, which made him feel inexplicably cold.
"Gu Zhengjun, will you be the one to preside over today's poetry recitation meeting in the inner house, or will Lin Zhengjun be the one to preside over it?" Shen Yueqiao's question startled Gu Ruoyun.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the poetry recitation meeting is held in the name of Bai Zhanhua, but is actually the Bai family's business, otherwise so many well-known and popular figures would not have come!
Now that Shen Yueqiao asked this so carelessly, doesn't this give Gu Ruoyun no face at all?
"Of course it's Lin Zhengjun." Gu Ruoyun was a little hesitant.
"Okay!" Shen Yueqiao nodded, then looked at Lin Honghui, his aura suddenly retracted, and he nodded slightly in greeting.
Gu Ruoyun was a little stunned. What did this mean?
In this case, it would be inappropriate for me to send someone to invite Shen Yueqiao! I am just a guest, what right do I have to make decisions for the host?
Doesn't this mean that I am overstepping my authority?
Gu Ruoyun reacted and looked at everyone again, only to find that everyone was looking at them sideways.
He gritted his teeth secretly and was about to speak, but he heard Shen Yueqiao continue: "Third brother, is Le'er happy here?"
She did not ask her husband directly. Firstly, asking would not yield any results. Secondly, Lin Honghui was a bit dull by nature and would not lie.
Lin Honghui hesitated, and Bai Zhanhua felt even more ashamed. She just couldn't stand him being like this! He didn't have the demeanor of a master at all, like he came from a small family!
Shen Yueqiao knew what was going on, but she made a wrong estimate. She thought the person who bullied Lin Hongle must be Gu Ruoyun, so she ignored Bai Suhua who was like a quail next to her.
When Lin Liu saw Shen Yueqiao glance at Gu Ruoyun, he knew that the head of the family had misunderstood.
Speaking of the people around Lin Hongle, the one who knows Shen Yueqiao best is none other than Lin Liu.
Although Lin Liu was blindly loyal to Lin Hongle and not a knowledgeable person, he knew by intuition that the master of the family held his son at the top of his heart!
He gripped the jade token in his hand, which already had some fine cracks on it, and he knew how angry the patriarch was at the moment.
In fact, Shen Yueqiao always complained that Lin Liu didn't have as good eyesight as Shen Zhi, but she didn't know that Lin Liu understood her so well!
"Master, it was the Fourth Young Master Bai who pushed the master just now." Although he was guessing what Shen Yueqiao wanted to ask, Lin Liu still mustered up the courage to stand up holding the broken jade token.
Everyone was shocked. Lin Hongle wanted to reach out and pull Lin Liuyi, but failed.
Lin Liu spoke out everything like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
The smile on Shen Yueqiao's face gradually disappeared. He didn't expect that just after he was separated from Lin Hongle for a while, another storm would arise.
She looked at Bai Zhanhua, as if she wanted to wait for an explanation from the other party.
Bai Zhanhua also felt it, and she said coldly to Lin Honghui: "How come you can't even handle a poetry recital? You caused Sixth Brother to get hurt!"
After saying that, she gave Shen Yueqiao a hypocritical smile and said, "Don't blame me, Miss Shen. It's all my fault for not being considerate enough."
Lin Honghui felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, but he still said to Shen Yueqiao as usual: "Ms. Shen, it's all my fault for not taking good care of you."
Gu Ruoyun was stunned, and all the unhappiness just now disappeared. It turned out that Shen Yueqiao wanted to pick him out.
Once the embarrassment was resolved, he came alive again and said leisurely: "Ms. Shen, don't be too harsh. Mr. Lin is just a bastard, so it's inevitable that he will be negligent."
Lin Honghui's temples were throbbing. Here it comes again! Here it comes again! Gu Ruoyun relied on his birth as a legitimate son and always looked down on him and ridiculed him. His wife did not speak for him either, so he could only cry every night.
But today his younger brother is here, and Gu Ruoyun still doesn't give him any face. He looked at Bai Zhanhua, and seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, his heart was filled with despair.
"Bai Suhua pushed my Le'er. What does this have to do with my third brother?" However, as soon as Shen Yueqiao's voice came out, Gu Ruoyun and Bai Zhanhua were stunned.
Shen Yue and Qiao Long glanced and saw Bai Suhua trembling beside them. She reached out and took the jade token from Lin Liu's hand. There was a crack quietly lying on the lower right corner of the white and smooth jade token.
"Mr. Bai Si, what did my husband do to upset you?" Shen Yueqiao's expression did not change at this time, but there was a sense of oppression.
"No, no," Bai Suhua was so scared that her voice changed a little. He knew that Shen Yueqiao had a bad reputation, so he didn't dare to do anything rash, mainly because he was afraid that she would do something desperate! Bai Suhua encouraged herself in her heart!
"Lin Hongle is an ominous person. It's normal not to want him to get involved with your body. So what?" Gu Ruoyun was stunned and then angry. He spoke directly on behalf of Bai Suhua.
Bai Suhua nodded in agreement unconsciously, showing her position.
"Really?" Shen Yueqiao's tone was calm. She turned to Bai Zhanhua and said, "If that's the case, Lady Bai shouldn't have invited Yueqiao here today!"
Bai Zhanhua just wanted Gu Ruoyun and Bai Suhua to shut up. She forced a smile and said, "Ms. Shen, that's not right. I don't..."
"Lady Bai, this is top-quality white jade, and it was carved by Master Ouyang Ke. Now it's broken. I hope you will take the responsibility!" Shen Yueqiao didn't waste time talking to her and directly stuffed the white jade in her hand into Bai Zhanhua's hand.
Then, before Bai Zhanhua could reply, she glanced at everyone and then glanced at Shen Ruyi.
Shen Ruoyi understood. She had just reported to her master that her master's robe was being admired by everyone, so Gu came first to invite her master, and the master asked her to bring another set of clothes.
Shen Ruoyi took a step forward and handed the tray to Lin Liu.
When Lin Liu picked up the clothes, even some older officials were stunned. It turned out to be a Zhuang brocade robe!
It goes without saying that the colors are bright and the patterns are vivid. This Zhuang brocade is said to have come from a mysterious ethnic group, and there are very few people who can make this craft!
So the most rare thing about Zhuang brocade is that it is rare!
You can’t buy it even if you have money!
Moreover, the Zhuang brocade will contain blessings from a mysterious tribe to the wearer!
Watching Lin Liu helping Lin Hongle put on his robe, Shen Yueqiao directly pulled her husband over and said coldly to Bai Zhanhua: "Goodbye!"
Bai Zhanhua and the others had no time to react after Shen Yueqiao and his group left. In front of them was Master Ouyang Ke's jade token, and behind them was Zhuang brocade. However, the Shu brocade robe was hanging there alone like a pile of garbage, as if mocking everyone.
Bai Suhua reacted first. He was so ashamed and angry that he pulled out the hairpin on his head and wanted to tear his Shu brocade robe. The maid beside him hugged him, fearing that he would make another mistake.
"That's enough!" Bai Zhanhua shouted coldly, and ordered: "Take the fourth young master away!"
Then she hurried out, she had to chase Shen Yueqiao.
