Lan Kexin and Chunzhu had just returned to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

She saw the butler standing in front of the gate of the Marquis's Mansion, as if to greet her.

Butler Jin just stared at her and Chunzhu's hands, and Lan Kexin was puzzled.

"What are you doing?"

A smile appeared on Uncle Li's face.

That smile was so forced.

"Miss, I heard that the Fourth Prince gave you a gift of headgear today?"

Lan Kexin understood: "Why are you asking this? Do you want it?"

Uncle Li hurriedly shook his head: "How dare this old servant covet the young lady's things? The old lady is waiting for you in Wanxiang Courtyard."

Lan Kexin frowned unhappily. Is there nothing to do after eating all day?

What are you staring at her for all day?

"Is the second girl back too?"

Uncle Li nodded without saying anything.

Lan Kexin understood that she was definitely the one complaining again.

I wonder what reason the old lady will use to blame her this time?

In Wanxiang Courtyard.

Lan Kexin brought Chunzhu into the main hall.

Almost all the masters in the mansion were present, except for her adoptive father.

There are so many people, yet it’s so quiet.

A state of impending storm.

Chunzhu's neck shrank subconsciously.

He stretched out two fingers and pinched Lan Kexin's sleeve.

"Miss, I'm scared."

Lan Kexin glanced at her?

"If you're scared, just go back to Wutong Garden and wait for me."

Right now, it's even more unsafe to return to Wutong Garden under such circumstances, okay?

It’s best to stay with the girl.

Lan Kexin walked to the center of the main hall, bowed to the elders, and then found a seat to sit down.

Wait for them to speak.

She thought it was the old lady roaring again.

She was mentally prepared.

As a result, Mrs. Lan smiled and walked up to her.

He gently took Lan Kexin's hand and patted her twice to comfort her.

The original owner had never enjoyed such a warm scene, but unexpectedly she got to enjoy it.

"Xin'er, you've suffered a lot these years, and your mother has wronged you. Don't worry, your mother will make it up to you in the future."

Faced with the sudden concern, Lan Kexin was completely uncomfortable.

He pulled his hand out with force.

She believed that this was not the main text, and such a good foreshadowing must not be a good thing?

Then, Mrs. Lan waved her hand and a maid brought over a tray.

Handed it to Lan Kexin.

Mrs. Lan picked up the jade bracelet on the tray.

He reached out to grab Lan Kexin's hand again.

"Xin'er, this bracelet is for you. Mother knows you're a very filial and considerate child. As the eldest sister, shouldn't you sometimes give in to your younger siblings?"

Lan Kexin raised her eyebrows and waited quietly for the next words.

She didn't ask to see how thick-skinned they were.

Lan Kexin's silence meant that only Mrs. Lan was performing a solo.

Lan Mufan couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said displeasedly:

"Mother is talking to you, and you won't even respond? Do you have any manners?"

Lan Kexin's eyes turned cold and she glanced over.

"As a younger brother, you teach your sister a lesson like this. Have you learned all the etiquette?"

"You...you are just a country girl, how dare you talk about etiquette in front of me? You are not worthy!"

He raised his hand and pointed at Lan Kexin.

Lan Kexin narrowed her eyes. If the distance wasn't too far, she would definitely break that finger.

"This is your first and last time. If you dare point your finger at me again, I won't keep that finger anymore."

Such a bloody threat to Lan Mufan, don't be afraid that it is fake.

He immediately put his hands behind his back, but his tone was quite firm.

"you dare."

"Do you dare? If you don't believe me, try it."

Are you kidding? Who would dare to try it with their own hands?

The old lady saw that the situation was about to lose control again and spoke hurriedly:

"Well, we're all family, brothers and sisters, what's there to fight about? Xin'er, there's a palace banquet the day after tomorrow. You've always liked vegetarian food, so I have a peach blossom hairpin from my grandmother. I'll have Mammy bring it to you later.

Wei'er can't find any good head ornaments right now, so you can give her the set that the Fourth Prince gave you today, so she can attend the palace banquet in style."

So this is what they were planning!

These people are really shameless.

Lan Kexin looked at the old lady:

"If I remember correctly, there should be two more exquisite sets of headgear there. If you like them, why don't you go over there and buy one?"

Lan Weiwei whispered, "Sister, I've seen both copies, and yours is the best. Could you bear the pain and lend it to me for a day? Just one day, and I'll return it to you after the palace banquet."

borrow?

Will they return it? Don't even think about it.

Lan Kexin spread her hands and said, "It's a pity that I can't lend it to you."

Madam Lan disagreed: "Wei'er only asked to borrow it for one day. As the eldest daughter, you should be generous. This is a quality you should have."

Lan Muqing chimed in: "I'm just borrowing it for a day, I'm not going to eat it, what are you worried about?"

Lan Mufeng: "That's right, I just like it too much. You don't wear it anyway, so it's just gathering dust. Aren't you afraid that it will be bad for your reputation if you get the reputation of being stingy?"

Lan Kexin glanced at everyone and said, "I've already told you I can't lend it to you. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

The old lady couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table: "Why did you talk to your family? So many people said good things to you, but you didn't agree. It seems that everything you gave before was fake."

Lan Kexin looked at the jade bracelet on the tray.

The texture is so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. I guess some maid bought it from a street stall.

And the old lady's peach wood hairpin was so crudely carved. Couldn't these people just pick a better one to trick her?

I also want to borrow something from her.

Not to mention that she doesn't have it now, even if she did, she would rather destroy the jewelry than lend it to her.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to Wutong Garden first."

"Stop! Are you a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water?"

Lord Lan walked in angrily from outside.

Said to Lan Kexin in an imperative tone:

"Give that headgear to Wei'er. This matter is non-negotiable."

You say you will give it to me right away. You are so shameless.

Lan Bing's cold eyes met Lord Lan's eyes, and his tone was equally cold:

"If you really want to borrow it, it's not impossible."

I heard her tone slow down.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that being ruthless to her did work.

Lan Kexin continued, "You can go to the Sixth Prince's house and borrow it from him."

"What do you mean?" Lan Weiwei asked back.

How does this have anything to do with the Sixth Prince?

"Unfortunately, after you left, the Sixth Prince came to the store and took a fancy to the jewelry I had, so I gave it to him."

Seeing everyone's ugly faces, Lan Kexin continued to add fuel to the fire:

"Since you insist on me borrowing it, I will go to the Sixth Prince's gate and beg him on my knees. Even if I die on my knees, I will give you the jewelry."
