The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Hmph, she's a money-losing piece of shit who can't get married. What's the point of having so many jewels? If I don't give them to you, come back to me. I won't kill her." Liu Dalan plotted against He Ye with gritted teeth, as if the He Ye in her mouth was her enemy. The most hateful thing was her self-righteous look, as if other people's things should be hers.

With Liu Dalan's instructions and encouragement, He Bao went to He Ye's courtyard and knocked on the door after dinner.

The small courtyard with lotus leaves has bamboos outside and flowers inside. It is quiet, elegant and unique. There is no other courtyard like it in the entire palace.

After shouting for a long time, He Ye hurried out of the house. She didn't want to come out, but He Bao's voice was getting louder and louder. She was afraid of alarming other people in the yard, and even more afraid of attracting her uncle and aunt.

The lotus bud stalk stretched its neck, stretched its mouth, and was already impatient. When it saw the lotus leaves, it couldn't help but complain, "Sister, why did you come just now? I'm almost hoarse from shouting."

"I was embroidering and didn't hear it." Lotus Leaf was blocking the doorway, saying only one sentence, and then she stared at the lotus bud in front of her. When she was sold away from home, the child was only eight years old, and she was only eighteen at that time. After not seeing each other for many years, the family affection was long gone, and only strangeness and disgust were left.

Seeing He Ye's indifference, He Bao, who was still thinking about the rare and precious jewelry, became embarrassed and restrained a little of his arrogance. His voice was not as sharp as before. "Sister, won't you let me in and have a cup of tea?"

He Bao envied her sister He Ye for having such a courtyard in the palace, and also envied her sister for the treatment she received as a lady in the palace. She received a monthly salary at the beginning of every month, and clothes for all four seasons were purchased on time, and she also had a wide variety of jewelry.

The lotus leaf did not move the lotus bud inside, but simply said: "There is no tea in the courtyard. If you have something to say, stand here and talk. If you don't, go back and rest early. The palace is not like your own home, so don't walk around everywhere."

He Bao's anger came as quickly as her mother's. At a word that pleased her, she began to howl and bite like a mad dog. "Don't lecture me in that tone. You can move around freely, so why can't I?"

Treating good words as bad words is incorrigible. He Ye saw that her tone was not good and did not want to pay attention to her. "What's the matter? Tell me now. I still have to go back to my room to embroider."

He Bao said confidently, "I don't have any jewelry, so I came to you to get some."

He Bao spoke very naturally. She treated He Ye's things as her own. He Ye hated this kind of people from the bottom of her heart. She seemed to see the shadow of her mother Liu Dalan in He Bao.

He Ye's things wouldn't be given away, especially to such an insatiable person. She'd lived with such people for over a decade, and she knew them down to the bone. If they dared to ask you for your hand once, they'd ask for it a second time, a third time. If they couldn't get it, they'd rob it, and if they couldn't, they'd make a scene. They were rapacious and domineering; they were hard-hearted and cold-blooded; they were greedy and exploited the person until every last drop of blood was drained from them. Just like when she went crazy and was sold three times by Liu Dalan, she wanted to stay as far away from such people as possible, never wanting to have anything to do with them for the rest of her life.

He Ye looked at the lotus bud in front of her. She had perfume and powder on her face, a rosy complexion, silver bracelets on her hands, and a hairpin on her head. She had everything she needed, yet she came to her for things. She was so greedy that she would definitely become the second Liu Dalan in the future.

"Isn't that jewelry on your head? What else do you want from me?"

He Bao said disdainfully, "These are all made of silver, they are cheap goods."

"Is it made of silver or cheap stuff? When you were in Lijia Village, you never had such decent jewelry. Do you think you need to wear rare treasures when you come from the countryside?"

"Aren't you also from the countryside? You were sold to a brothel. You wear nice things, so why can't I wear them? Are you more precious than me?" He Bao sounded like a chicken with its feathers blown off, and the sound it made was so sharp that it made people's eardrums sore and their scalps numb.

If she were the Lotus Leaf of the past, she would have pounced on her and hit her like Liu Dalan did, or at least cursed at her, but she was no longer the Lotus Leaf of the past. Her edges had been smoothed out and her bad habits had been eliminated.

He Ye couldn't let this person come in vain, so she opened her mouth and said something to show her respect. So she pulled out a hairpin from her head and handed it to He Bao: "Please keep it. Don't come here again. I don't have many jewelry."

"I opened my mouth to answer, and you give me this?"

"Then do you want it?"

He Bao threw the glass hairpin hard on the stone pavement. With a crisp sound, the glass hairpin broke into two pieces.

"You gave me this thing that's everywhere. That idiot Shang Xi used this thing to fool me, and you used this thing to fool me too. You think I'm easy to fool, right? Don't blame my mother for saying that you've learned bad things by following that idiot."

He Ye raised her hand and pushed He Bao away from the gate of the courtyard, "Get out, you disrespectful thing."

With a click, He Ye closed the courtyard door, bent down to pick up the broken glass hairpin on the ground, turned around and walked into her room. Once the door was closed, He Bao's vulgar curses were shut out. He Ye picked up the needle and thread again. Although her interest had been half gone, she still began to embroider stitch by stitch.

At this time, a maid ran to tell Shang Xi, who was talking to Yu Hua in the outer room. When the two were talking, the little maid ran over and said, "Princess, Miss He Bao went to ask Miss He Ye for something."

Shang Xi knew that this kind of drama would continue to happen, and she was no longer surprised. "Did you give it to me, Lotus Leaf?"

"She gave it to me. It seems she gave me a glass hairpin that is the same as the one given to the Crown Prince's Consort. Miss Hebao doesn't know the value of things. She probably didn't know that this glass hairpin is the best-selling headdress in our Fengqi. Miss Hebao was very unhappy on the spot and threw the hairpin to the ground. It seems to be broken."

"and then?"

"Then Miss Hebao started cursing. She didn't just curse Heye, she also cursed you, the Crown Prince's Consort. She called you a fool by name. Miss Heye is very uneducated, just like her mother Liu Dalan."

Shang Xi was speechless, "What do I have to do here?"

After the maid finished speaking, Cheng Feng, who was lying in the inner room, came out and said, "I'm going to find my eldest brother and Liu Dalan. They've crippled this child. They have no conscience at all. What's the difference between them and a wolf cub?"

Shang Xi waved her hand: "Don't provoke that anger. If you try to reason with unreasonable people, you will never be right."

Yuhua also said: "Who said it wasn't true! It's only been quiet for a few days, don't stir up trouble. Who let you run into such an ungrateful person? He eats and drinks your food and even scolds you. He has everything he needs for food, clothing and living, so what else can he not be satisfied with?"
