Haiyun turned around when she heard the noise and saw that it was Lu Chenshuang. She quickly put down the things in her hands, bowed to her and said, "Your servant greets the Madam."

Lu Chenshuang had a good impression of Haiyun, and said to her with a smile: "You are the head maid beside the Madam, and you are highly valued by the Madam. I dare not accept your gift."

After that, he brought Guyu and Xiaoman to pay their respects to Li.

Li was in a good mood today, and it was rare that Lu Chenshuang was willing to bow to her properly, so she didn't bother to show off, and said kindly, "Forget it, it's rare that you came so early today."

When Li turned her head back, Lu Chenshuang took another careful look at her forehead. The scar had indeed faded a lot and should be gone after some time.

What puzzled Lu Chenshuang was where the Madam got such a good ointment.

Just looking at the bottle containing the ointment, it is very valuable and looks like something from the palace.

Lu Chenshuang suddenly had an idea and remembered that when she was treating the old lady, the doctor once said that the medical saint Mo Fuzi had prepared several bottles of scar-removing medicine called Ice Skin Jade Muscle Regeneration Cream, which could remove the scar on the old lady's forehead.

If Lu Chenshuang's guess is correct, this is what the bottle contains.

It’s not that Yan Qingqing looked down on Jingyang Marquis Mansion, but her status as a lady dowager was not enough for her to use such a good ointment.

But the lady was able to get this thing, which shows that she has some skills.

But it makes sense. Not only has Li, a widow, been able to support the Marquis of Jingyang for so many years, but she has also been able to continue the title that was about to be taken back for another generation. This shows that she still has some means.

Lu Chenshuang immediately put away her thoughts and said to Li with a smile: "Madam, you are really in high spirits when something good happens.

Not only has the scar on my forehead healed immediately, but I also look particularly good today."

When the lady saw that what Lu Chenshuang said today was particularly to her liking, she couldn't help but smile.

Then he said, "After a while, your complexion has finally improved. The flower-viewing banquet of Princess Zhuoyang the next day won't be laughed at by those women."

After saying this, her eyes were still fixed on the jewelry box in Xiaoman's arms, and she was very satisfied with Lu Chenshuang's understanding.

It turned out that the words of this lady were still effective. She had just criticized Lu Chenshuang yesterday, and today she eagerly sent the jewelry over.

Seeing the greedy look in Li's eyes, Lu Chenshuang couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. With such a greedy face, she really didn't know how the old marquis fell in love with her in the first place.

Lu Chenshuang put away her contempt, smiled, took the box from Xiaoman, and handed it to Li, saying: "This is the jewelry I picked out after searching the warehouse yesterday, although it is not as valuable as the ones I picked before.

But I think this one suits the lady’s temperament best.”

Li was even happier when she heard that. She knew that Lu Chenshuang was sincere to her. However, she didn't have time to be polite to Lu Chenshuang and opened the jewelry box impatiently.

The glittering golden light inside almost blinded Li's eyes.

Li's smile gradually froze. Lu Chenshuang carefully selected and only picked such a tacky piece of jewelry for her.

Li felt that Lu Chenshuang must have done it on purpose. Nowadays, there are no noble ladies in the capital wearing gold jewelry. They all wear jewels and jade.

Seeing the look on Li's face, Lu Chenshuang secretly scolded her for not knowing the value of gold. Gold is so good.

When you are rich, you can make jewelry and shine brightly. When you are poor, you can make money to make a comeback.

Only someone like the Madam who doesn't know the value of things would think gold is tacky.

Gold is a hard currency that has been in circulation in every dynasty, and Lu Chenshuang likes it anyway.

Li said with a cold face: "Lu Chenshuang! Is this the jewelry you carefully selected for me?

Everyone knows that this thing is extremely vulgar. No noblewoman in the capital city, if she has a little bit of wealth, would wear this kind of headgear when she goes out."

Lu Chenshuang looked annoyed when she heard this, and said to Li: "Madam, if you don't like it, I can take it back and choose again.

This is truly the best jewelry I could pick out of my storeroom. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Guyu and Xiaoman.”

Li then looked at Xiaoman and Guyu with a sharp gaze.

Xiaoman and Guyu were so scared that they nodded quickly. Xiaoman also said: "Our girl spent a long time choosing last night, and this one is the most valuable."

Li naturally didn't believe it. Apart from anything else, the pearl hairpins worn by these two maids were probably more valuable than the golden headpiece.

Seeing this, Lu Chenshuang said, "If the Madam doesn't like these jewels, I will write a letter to my uncle and tell him that the Madam will attend the flower-viewing banquet of Princess Zhuoyang, and ask him to select a few expensive jewels and send them to me overnight."

No matter how greedy and shameless Mrs. Li was, she was still a mother-in-law after all. If she really asked Lu Chenshuang to do this, she would be drowned in other people's spit.

So Li said fiercely: "No need, you can take this headdress back, I will find a way myself."

She had finally gotten the invitation to Princess Zhuoyang's flower-viewing banquet, and she must not make any mistakes.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang pretended to be sad and lowered her head, but at the moment of lowering her head, she gave Xiaoman a look, asking her to quickly put away the golden headdress.

Li doesn't know the value of something and she is unwilling to give away such a good thing.

She was in agony when choosing this set of jewelry yesterday. Who would have thought that she could get it back.

Just when the atmosphere was a little cold, Aunt Qi rushed in and said, "Madam, something bad has happened!"

Li said unhappily: "What's wrong? Why are you yelling so loudly in the morning?

You are already this old, why are you still so unstable? "

Nanny Qi saw Lu Chenshuang staring at her with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to see through her.

So he quickly lowered his head to hide the panic in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li calmed down and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Aunt Qi quickly replied: "Chen Youfu is dead."

Li's voice suddenly rose a few notches and asked: "What did you say? Who died?"

Aunt Qi said it again in a low voice.

Li said with a look of deep sorrow: "How could he die suddenly? Didn't I tell you to serve him well with good food and drink?

Even if this child is useless, he is still Xiuhe's son, and I have always planned to adopt him as my godson.

Now, the person is gone. This makes me, an old man, send off the young one.”

After saying this, Li even shed tears hypocritically.

Lu Chenshuang was amazed as she watched from the side. The acting was simply amazing.

If this were to happen in later times, it would definitely be at the level of a movie queen.

When Nanny Qi saw that Li was sad, she hurried forward and said a few words of comfort to her.

Lu Chenshuang asked from the side: "How did Chen Youfu die? Could it be that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment for stealing my jewelry?"

Madam Qi dodged a glance and said, "I heard that he was drunk and fell into the lake. When he was fished out, he was already dead."

Lu Chenshuang didn't say anything else.

Li sighed and said, "Go tell Xiuhe to mourn. Let's go and see the child."

After saying that, he walked out first.

Lu Chenshuang had a sarcastic smile on her face. This lady must be afraid that the person is not dead yet, so she wants to check it herself.
