The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

On the other hand, Liu Dalan, who had come to beg for the whole family, did not shed a single tear. Not only that, he always had a smile on his face, and his eyes were darting between Madam Wan, Shang Xi and Cheng Feng. It was obvious that he was plotting against the Wan family.

Shang Xi was feeling sorry for everyone when Liu Dalan pushed out a man who looked neither male nor female and urged him, "You don't know the rules. Why don't you pay your respects to your aunt?"

"Auntie."

"Who are you?" There are not many people who can call Shang Xi aunt. She can only count on her fingers a few of them. She can't recognize who this person is.

"Aunt, I'm Hebao."

Shang Xi had little contact with this person in the past. When she left the Li family village, the child was only six or seven years old. Now, considering his age, he wasn't that old either, probably only fifteen or sixteen. However, he was a little short, not even as tall as Liu Dalan or her sister He Ye. Shang Xi had an indescribable feeling about this child; in short, she disliked anything related to Liu Dalan.

He Bao saw that Shang Xi just stared at her without saying anything or reacting. She looked at her mother embarrassedly, "Mom?"

Liu Dalan pushed He Bao and said, "Give your aunt a greeting again. Your aunt is deaf."

Shang Xi really wanted to find a piece of rag to plug Liu Dalan's stinky mouth. Just because she didn't speak didn't mean she didn't hear. She was no longer deaf.

At this time, everyone was mourning their deceased relatives, but Liu Dalan pushed out the lotus leaf and bowed to her in a half-hearted manner. Under Liu Dalan's coercion, the man's waist was still stiff and he refused to bend down. It was so reluctant and the salute was so inappropriate. Shang Xi felt that there was no need to treat her like this. Shang Xi had seen through their faces ten years ago. Their smiling and flattering faces to her today were not because they respected her. They were just thinking about getting some valuable items from her.

Shang Xi is not a stingy person. She does have a lot of things just as Liu Dalan said. However, she would rather give her things to the servants who serve her than to the people around Liu Dalan. Not only will it cause trouble, but people will also be smart enough to think that she, Shang Xi, is stupid and easy to deceive, and has evil intentions.

With so many people here today, including Madam Wan and Cheng Feng, Shang Xi wouldn't let them get nothing. It's just an item, one more isn't too much, and one less isn't too little. Shang Xi took off an amber colored glass hairpin from her head and stuffed it into He Bao's hand: "This is a gift for you."

Shang Xi thought that if she gave up her things, she would be able to find peace.

But when He Bao looked at the amber glass hairpin in her hand and then at the jade hairpin on her sister-in-law's head, Shang Xi understood that this person was measuring whether the hairpin in her hand was better than the one on Su Aixiu's head. She was indeed a good child raised by Liu Dalan, and her greedy nature was undoubtedly revealed.

Shang Xi said, "This is amber. This thing can only be found in Fengqi. It has not yet been sold to the world. Ordinary people can't wear it."

Liu Dalan pushed the lotus bud and smiled like a greedy ghost, "Your aunt is the prince's consort, how can the things she uses be bad!"

He Bao was picky and said, "Mom, will this color make me look old?"

Shang Xi was speechless. She was only in her twenties. How could the things she wore be that old? She cursed this man in her heart for complaining about rotten food even when begging.

It doesn't matter whether she wants the things or not, Shang Xi won't indulge her. If these people were not present today, she would not give these greedy little brats even a piece of cloth, let alone a glass hairpin.

When Shang Xi sat back in the chair, the hairpin was already on Liu Dalan's head. When it was on her own head, Shang Xi didn't think it was bad. But when it was on Liu Dalan's head, the value of this thing was gone. Shang Xi was too lazy to even look at Liu Dalan. When she was in the same room with her, Shang Xi felt the air was turbid.

At this time Tiezhu asked Shang Xi, "Aunt, where is He Ye?" When Cheng Feng brought He Ye back to Fengying from the southern Yan Kingdom, Cheng Feng sent a letter to Tiezhu who was far away in Bianjing, telling him about He Ye's situation. In this family, Tiezhu was the only one with a conscience. Every time he wrote to Cheng Feng, he would ask about He Ye's situation.

When Tiezhu asked Shang Xi about He Ye, Shang Xi realized that there was one person missing. She remembered that when they entered the mansion, she and Yuhua walked in front with heavy hearts, while He Ye walked behind. Where was this person?

Shang Xi wasn't sure where this person was at the moment, so she asked Yuhua, "Yuhua, didn't He Ye come in with us?"

Yuhua was crying with several villagers she knew. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel emotional. She cried for the villagers who had lost their loved ones, and at the same time, she cried for the Chen family who had suffered the same misfortune. Seeing Shang Xi asking her, she was also confused. She asked Shang Xi: "Didn't she follow us? Didn't she come in?"

There was no trace of Lotus Leaf in the whole room, so this person must not have come in!

Yuhua and Shangxi exchanged a glance, understanding each other. Yuhua wiped the marks on her face with a handkerchief and said, "He Ye might have been tripped by something. I'll go take a look."

Shang Xi and Yuhua knew very well that her parents, brother, sister-in-law and younger sister were all here, so what could possibly hold her back? This person must have deliberately not wanted to meet these people.

Yuhua stood up and walked out. After a while, the man came back. Yuhua shook her head at Shang Xi and said, "He Ye is in the side yard, threading the needle for the young ladies and wives who are making winter insoles for the soldiers. She is busy right now."

Liu Dalan was very dissatisfied when she heard this. "This kid is really unreasonable. We came all the way here, and what is he doing making insoles at this time?"

Liu Dalan asked Yuhua, "Where does that damn girl make insoles? I'll go find her."

Yuhua looked at Liu Dalan, who was about to throw a tantrum, and felt the same disgust as Shang Xi. She couldn't praise Liu Dalan's character. She smiled and shook her head, "They are making insoles for soldiers at the border. It's a big deal. I can't bring you to disturb them."

The ignorant Liu Dalan said, "How can making insoles for soldiers at the border be more important than coming to see me and his father? Silly girl, wait and see me. We'll teach her a lesson later."

Yuhua really wanted to expose her shortcomings. She really wanted to tell Liu Dalan what He Ye had just said in front of everyone to see if she still had the face to yell at He Ye and scold her.

The unreasonable Liu Dalan began to complain to Cheng Feng: "Cheng Feng, I'm not saying anything bad about you, He Ye is your niece, how could you let her make insoles for some border soldiers?"

Cheng Feng forced a smile because his eldest brother Cheng Lao Da was sitting next to him. It was the first day this man came home, so Cheng Feng couldn't just be disrespectful. "Sister-in-law, not only does He Ye have to make insoles for the soldiers at the border, but Shang Xi, the Crown Prince's Consort, also has to make insoles. It's an honor."
