This was no longer a roundabout scolding, but a scolding directed at Little Aunt Ning’s nose! She was very angry and wanted to flare up, but her Third Brother stopped her. “Alright.” He lowered his voice, but Xiaoxiao heard him clearly. “Is this kind of poor and dilapidated family worth your attention?” As he spoke, he specially showed off the jade pendant he had just bought. He opened his fan elegantly and fanned himself. He concluded, “There are so many people watching. Don’t embarrass me.”
Little Aunt Ning also cared about her reputation, so she could only suppress her emotions. However, she still deliberately leaned in front of Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan and glanced at Rong Yan’s empty waist. “Whatever my brother’s family can give you, my family can too. At least you won’t be unable to afford to wear any decent accessories.”
Rong Yan’s clothes were given to him by Xiaoxiao. He couldn’t bear to change after putting them on. He even felt that the pendants at home weren’t worthy of it, so his belt was empty.
Xiaoxiao was angry. She pulled Rong Yan into the shop, glanced at Little Uncle
Ning, and asked, “What’s his pendant’s price?”
Those who opened shops paid attention to harmony to make money, so they did not get involved in the customers’ grudges. They only said, “Two taels of silver.”
Xiaoxiao looked around the counter. She didn’t know much about these things, so she casually chose a more pleasing orchid pendant. “What about this?”
The shop assistant’s eyes lit up. “to taels. It means that it’s a perfect ten. This is the best jade pendant in our shop. Our master personally carved it. The design is lifelike, and the jade used is the best.”
It was indeed top-notch for a shop that Old Madam Ning could afford.
Without another word, Xiaoxiao paid and hung the jade pendant on Rong Yan’s waist. Then, she raised her chin and laughed as arrogantly as she could.
Come on! I! Have! Money!
Rong Yan let her do whatever she wanted and was very cooperative the entire time.
Little Uncle Ning felt deeply humiliated when the three of them from the old residence asked for it. If Old Madam Ning hadn’t stopped him firmly, he would have smashed the embarrassing jade pendant on his waist on the spot.
Seeing that they were still not leaving, Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, “If Second Uncle finds out that you guys are living so carefreely, I wonder if he can still eat in jail?”
They could not continue this topic. The three of them were so smug just now, but now, they were fleeing in a sorry state.
Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered. “Your original jade is much more valuable than this, right?”
Rong Yan didn’t hide it from her. “My mother gave it to me.”
Before Xiaoxiao could say anything else, he said, “You keep it well.
If she still did not understand what he meant, Xiaoxiao would have lived in vain in her previous life—Little Big Brother had liked her long ago!
Ah, ah, ah, ah. Is this how it feels to be in love with each other?! Did such a lucky thing happen to her too?
How stupid was she in the past to consider using the jade pendant to exchange for the money needed to open the shop together? Fortunately, she kept it well and did not sell it.
She did not speak and Rong Yan pretended that he did not understand. Coincidentally, the shop assistant saw that Xiaoxiao was generous and took out another orchid hairpin with the intention of trying his luck. “Sir, do you want to take a look at this again? It’s the same as the jade pendant just now. The design is also the same. There are top-notch eastern pearls embedded on it and the price is also 10 taels.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw this extraordinary-looking young master place an ingot of silver in his hand. Then, he took the box containing the hairpin in his hand and handed it to the girl.
Xiaoxiao had yet to reach marriageable age and her hair was just a simple ponytail. It was a little difficult to wear this hairpin.
Rong Yan said, “Wear it when you grow up.”
Xiaoxiao felt that there was probably another meaning behind these words. For example—I’ll wait for you to grow up?
She pretended to be calm, but the little person in her heart was already rolling around. Actually, it did not seem bad to raise her? Strictly speaking, she was indeed a little girl now. Perhaps, she was not an old cow eating young grass?
Most importantly, this grass smelled good.
He had a handsome face and was obviously a person with high potential. Most importantly, he had good taste. He had chosen her in the vast crowd. If this was not fate, it could only be heaven’s will.
Little Big Brother wanted to wait for her to grow up, but how could she not want to wait for Little Big Brother to become an adult?
Otherwise, even if he was in ancient times, she would always feel a subtle sense of guilt. However, ahem, she had to wait for him to be legal first.
She reached out and took the box. “Okay,” she replied clearly.
For some reason, the shop assistant felt a little suffocated even though he had clearly earned money. He even strangely hoped that these two God of Fortune would leave quickly and walk out of his sight.
What the two of them did not expect was that they would encounter unexpected people one after another on the short journey. This time, Second Aunt Ning blocked their way.
After experiencing a huge change, she was much more tactful than before. At least, she did not dare to bare her fangs and brandish her claws in front of Xiaoxiao. Of course, this might have something to do with her ugly complexion.
After separating from the old residence, she did not live a stable life. The consequences of being stabbed by a rake were indeed very serious. She quickly felt dizzy and feverish. Most of the money she earned from separating from the family was used to buy medicine.
Fortunately, Gongsun Zhongjing left behind a prescription. Otherwise, ordinary doctors would not be able to treat her illness. She did not know if she remembered Xiaoxiao’s help because of this, but she was not as domineering and arrogant as before today.
“Ning Xiaoxiao, can you save my husband?”
Xiaoxiao’s good mood was mostly gone. “Huh?”
Second Aunt Ning gritted her teeth. “I know you have a grudge against me, but Mother is the one who instigated me to do many things. It was that old woman who instigated me to do it. Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. If you want to hate someone, you should hate her!”
Xiaoxiao’s face was cold. “Is this what you came to say?” Did she think that she would let bygones be bygones just because she left her a prescription last time? There was still a huge difference between humanitarianism and being a saint, okay?
Second Aunt Ning held her already huge stomach with difficulty. “If you can help save my husband, I-I’ll tell you a huge secret!”
Afraid that Xiaoxiao was unwilling to listen, she continued, “Aren’t you curious why you were unconscious back then and almost lost your life?
Xiaoxiao was still unmoved, but Rong Yan shifted his gaze over. He was worried that Xiaoxiao would face Second Aunt Ning alone, but he also kept a sufficient distance. If there was anything inconvenient for him to hear, he did not intend to pry. But what did this woman say? Ning Xiaoxiao almost lost her life once?
Second Aunt Ning waited expectantly for her niece’s reaction. After a while, she saw Xiaoxiao squatting in front of her and revealing a smile that made her hair stand on end. “Haven’t you guys already gotten your retribution now?
Second Aunt Ning felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse. She knew! She actually remembered everything!
After this interlude, Xiaoxiao no longer had the mood to stroll around. She turned around and left, but not long after, she realized that Rong Yan was holding her wrist.
He was not forceful. He was gentle, but he could not be refused.
“What did she mean just now?”
Xiaoxiao patted the back of his hand. “When my family split up, my father wasn’t the only one who was injured and fell ill. I was also unconscious in the mountain ditch. After I was found, my high fever didn’t subside. The doctor said that I definitely wouldn’t be able to survive and asked my family to prepare for my funeral.”
Rong Yan’s lips tightened.. “Did your Second Uncle and Second Aunt do it?”
