The next day, Hua Xiyu was awakened by the urge to pee. Although Qingxing Hongmei had already prepared water for her to wash when she woke up, she did not care about the two maids and hurried to the toilet.

"Miss, there is a chamber pot in the room, you don't have to run so far," Qingxing reminded her behind her.

"Huh..." She glanced at the potty and shook her head. If she could pee in it, she would definitely get uremia.

In fact, the chamber pot looked clean and beautiful, and it was also fumigated with scent. People who didn’t know it would think it was a rice bowl, and would never have thought it was a small chamber pot.

After breakfast, Qing Xing remembered that she didn't buy the clothes she wanted to buy yesterday, but she didn't dare to ask the young lady to leave the house again, so she planned to buy them for the young lady herself.

Hua Xiyu called her, "Qingxing, where is my bag?"

"Package?" Qing Xing didn't react. She just stared at her young lady, waiting for further explanation.

Hua Xiyu just looked at her straight and let her think slowly. After a while, Qingxing seemed to remember something, "Miss, are you talking about the bag with two straps?"

"Yes, that's it."

"That one is kept by Hongmei. I'll go ask Hongmei," and then she gave an explanation as if to defend herself, "When I came out of Shuiyue Temple, it was given to Hongmei to keep."

My things, why don't you give them to me? Hua Xiyu was unhappy and spoke in a harsher voice, "Go and find them for me quickly."

Qingxing didn't dare to delay and hurried to find Hongmei. Hongmei hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.

"Where did you put my things?" Hua Xiyu was not polite anymore. This girl, who was a spy for someone, was so bold as to take my things and try to do me a favor.

"Just tell me." Qing Xing was also anxious, regretting that she was so careless at that time. She thought that there would be no good things when she returned to the mansion, so she should just burn the things in Shuiyue Temple.

Hongmei hesitated for a long time before stammering, "It was taken away by the fourth young lady."

Hua Xiyu didn't want to listen to what was said next, so she quickly asked someone to lead the way directly to Qingzhu Courtyard. The road on the roof was easy to find, but she really couldn't find it if she walked in the courtyard.

Qingzhuyuan is much more high-end and classy than Liushuangyuan. Of course, I was just slightly amazed at the ancient people's enjoyment of life.

It just happened that after breakfast, Hua Jiayi remembered the eldest sister's bag. Hongmei said that the eldest sister's bag was very special, so she asked for it. It was curiosity that got the better of her.

He ordered Qiuyun to bring the bundle, but none of the maids could open it. They could not find any straps or buckles. After struggling for a long time, they still didn't know how to open it. Hua Jiayi had long forgotten the taboo at the beginning and started to open it herself.

In the end, there was no other choice but to ask Qiuyun to get a pair of scissors and prepare to cut it open.

When Hua Xiyu came in, he saw Qiuyun coming over with a pair of scissors. He also looked at Hua Jiayi gritting her teeth while holding the bag. He knew without thinking that they were going to cut the bag.

"The eldest lady is here," the little girl Chunyu said softly, and then everyone looked up and looked outside the house.

"Elder sister is here," Hua Jiayi greeted warmly.

There was a string of greetings from "Miss" in the room. When she saw Jiayi, she remembered what she heard last night. She ignored them, walked straight up, snatched the bag from Hua Jiayi's hand, and turned away.

"Stop!" Hua Jiayi shouted behind him, loudly and urgently, as if she was afraid that others would not hear her if her voice was too soft, and also as if she was afraid that people would leave if she shouted too late.

This voice made Hua Xiyu startled. She stopped, turned around slowly, and just looked at Hua Jiayi.

Hua Jiayi was frightened by her aura and forgot what he was going to do. At this moment, Hua Ziqi and Qin Fangru came to Qingzhu Courtyard together, and a maid had already told them what happened.

"Eldest sister, these are fourth sister's things, how can you rob them?" Hua Ziqi came over and reached out to take the bag, but unexpectedly Hua Xiyu raised his hand and held up the bag. With a height of 150cm against a height of 176cm, she was of course helpless.

"Fourth sister's?" Hua Xiyu showed a sarcastic smile, which frightened several people.

"Isn't it? You can't just take advantage of your status as the eldest sister to snatch other people's things at will." Hua Ziqi didn't get the things and was very embarrassed. She felt humiliated. She originally wanted to please Hua Jiayi, but now she had to maintain her dignity.

"That's the eldest lady's thing." Qing Xing stepped forward and stood in front of Hua Xiyu. She had no other thoughts but that she must not let anyone hurt the young lady.

"Hua Jiayi, is this yours?" Hua Xiyu pulled Qingxing away and held the bag in front of Hua Jiayi.

Hua Jiayi remembered Hongmei's words. This package was given to her by Master Shuixin, who said it might be the eldest lady's things. That meant that it might not really be hers. What's more, she was an abandoned girl and was in a place like Shuiyue Temple. Even Master Shuixin had never seen such a package. She had been struggling to open it for the whole morning and couldn't do it. It was even more impossible for this stupid woman to open it.

So he said firmly, "If you want it, just take it."

When Qin Fangru heard this, she was very unhappy. She was living in her uncle's house, and her marriage was entirely decided by her aunt, so she wanted to curry favor with Hua Jiayi. If she didn't stand up to win her favor now, when would she do that?

"My fourth cousin has always been generous and kind to her sisters. If my eldest cousin wants something from me, I will definitely give it to her. There's no need to..." rob her.

"Yes, yes, there is no need for the eldest sister to snatch it." Hua Ziqi completed what Qin Fangru had not finished saying.

Hua Xiyu glanced at a few people and then looked at the maids in the room. They all glared at her as if she was a robber who came to rob them.

"This originally belonged to our young lady." Qing Xing was so angry that her eyes were crooked. She was afraid that her young lady would suffer, but she had no better way to defend her young lady.

"Are you sure this is the Fourth Miss's thing?" Hua Xiyu said coldly.

"Isn't it?" Hua Ziqi raised her head, looking righteous.

"Oh, in that case, let's make a bet. Whoever can produce evidence to prove that the bag is his will get it. If he can't prove it, he loses. The loser will give the winner one thousand two taels of silver. How about that?" Hua Xiyu said calmly. She felt that a bet of 1000 yuan was not much. She had just arrived in this world, and if she wanted to run away, she had to get some money first.

The dispute here had been reported to the front yard by a little maid. Hua Hongyan and Hua Hongyan hurried to Qingzhu Courtyard. When Butler Xu heard the noise, he had to report it to his wife. Madam Hua Liang also came to Qingzhu Courtyard with the help of her maid. She was not afraid that her daughters would suffer, but wanted to come and see how Jiayi and Xiyu would deal with the matter. She might have to suppress Jiayi from time to time.

"Let's bet." Hua Ziqi made the decision for Hua Jiayi without waiting for her to speak.

Hua Jiayi looked at everyone with embarrassment, and after a long while she said, "Forget it, if you like it, just take it. We are sisters, why make it so awkward?"

Hua Xiyu felt particularly unhappy after hearing these hypocritical words. What do you mean by "just take it if you like it"? It was as if someone was here to steal something.

"What are you betting on? It's so lively." The Hua Hongyan brothers had been there for a while. After hearing the conversation inside, they wanted to see what kind of personality their eldest sister had after coming back. Was she still the same as before? If she set her eyes on something, she would fight for it, even if she won or lost, and would never let herself suffer a loss.

Now it seems to be the same as before.

Hua Hongming was in a bad mood. His sister was still like this, but his sister had suffered so much, so it was only right that Jiayi should give in to her.

Hua Hongyan shook his head. Since it had always been like this, he had no hope and naturally no disappointment. The two brothers stepped into the yard.

Hearing Hua Hongming's voice, the maid inside came out quickly to greet him.

Looking at his two brothers, Hua Xiyu just glanced at them without much expression, then turned his gaze to Hua Jiayi, "To bet or not to bet."

"Since my sister gave it to you, you can take it." Hua Hongyan stretched out his hand to take the bag, but Hua Xiyu raised his hand and turned to another direction. He took nothing and felt a little embarrassed. At this time, he realized that he was not even as tall as his sister.

"You all think this is hers and I am stealing it?" Hua Xiyu glanced at everyone in the room and finally fixed his eyes on Hua Jiayi.

Jiayi dodged her gaze for a moment, but then thought that this couldn't possibly be hers, so she tried to control her emotions and said, "It's mine, you can take it."

Hua Xiyu thought, "You're smart," and prepared to leave with his bag. Although he felt uncomfortable listening to those words, he didn't want to argue with them. He still felt a little sorry for not earning any money.

But there are always those ignorant people who stick their heads out for others to chop off. Hua Ziqi rushed over from behind and tried to snatch the bag. Hua Xiyu felt the airflow behind him, stepped aside, raised his hand, and looked at the ignorant Hua Ziqi, "What, are you trying to rob me?"

"Who robbed it? It originally belonged to Jiayi. You are the one who robbed it, okay?" Hua Ziqi's voice was a little indignant. She had lost face twice because she failed to snatch it. To others, it sounded like she was justified.

"Then do you want to bet?" Hua Xiyu looked at Hua Jiayi.

"Stop making trouble. Qianyu just came back. Can't you just be more accommodating?" Hua Hongyan spoke up immediately, trying to stop them from making trouble. It would be embarrassing for sisters to quarrel over a burden.

"I have to make it clear today." Hua Xiyu finally understood something. It turned out that these people thought that the bag belonged to Hua Jiayi and that she had come here to rob it.

"Master, this belongs to the eldest lady, not the fourth lady." Qingxing was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Hua Hong glanced at Qing Xing. She had a good temper in protecting her master, but it was not advisable to confuse right and wrong.
