Chapter 267: If You Don’t Get It, It Will Be Destroyed

"You haven't bought it yet, why should you say it belongs to your lady!" Seeing that her lady was weak, a maid standing behind Gu Xishu stood up unconvinced and glared at Qin Wanru and Yujie, as if It seemed like they were the ones who were robbed of their hairpins.

Qin Wanru's eyes retracted from Wen Xichi's face and fell on Gu Xishu's face. She frowned slightly, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had been greatly wronged. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. , the eyes are peaceful and deep.

"Miss, I saw this hairpin first, and I asked the clerk to take it out. Can you let me read it first before talking about it?"

Qin Wanru saw it first, and it was Qin Wanru who asked the waiter to take it out. Logically speaking, Qin Wanru took a fancy to this situation, and other customers were not allowed to snatch it before Qin Wanru didn't want it.

Wen Xichi's eyes turned from Qin Wanru to Yu Jie. He didn't recognize Qin Wanru in the curtain hat at first, but as soon as she opened her mouth, he recognized her immediately and waited until he could see clearly. When Yu Jie was sleeping, she knew more and more that the person in front of her was Qin Wanru.

"Cousin, return the hairpin to this young lady!" Wen Xichi said gently.

"Cousin...I didn't snatch her hairpin..." Hearing that Wen Xichi not only didn't help her, but secretly confessed her crime for her, Gu Xishu's tears were about to fall. She lowered her head and wiped it with a handkerchief. He glanced at the corner of his eyes and looked more and more pitiful.

Although the movement on their side was small, it still attracted the attention of the people around them, especially the word "rob" in it. The most important thing for a lady from aristocratic families is dignity, and she really couldn't do this word "rob".

"Miss, can you please return the hairpin in your hand to me? I'm going to pay for it!" Qin Wanru said calmly, ignoring Gu Xishu's pitiful look.

A pair of water eyes fell coldly on Gu Xishu's body. This is not the Zuo Xiang's Mansion in the previous life, and there is no Zuo Xiang and Zuo Xiang's wife who are extremely partial to Gu Xishu. Gu Xishu's behavior in the previous life is here. It doesn't work here at all, and besides, the Wen Xichi next to him is not the same Wen Xichi who was blinded by family affection in his previous life.

Even though the two of them didn't say a word, Qin Wanru could still clearly hear the alienation in Wen Xichi's words. It seemed that her previous warning had really worked.

The corners of his lips curved slightly, and a smile appeared under the curtain.

"I...can this lady give me the hairpin...I'll pay double the price...this hairpin is my cousin's favorite Tangqianyan." Seeing Qin Wanru's unmoved look, she looked again Wen Xichi had no intention of standing up for her at all. Gu Xishu had to hold back the tears in her eyes, timidly raised the hairpin and begged.

It seems that the reason why she wants this hairpin is entirely because of Wen Xichi. On the one hand, it also points out that the relationship between the two people is unusual.

A gentleman has the beauty of adulthood. If you have such a gentlemanly style, you should give up the hairpin at this time.

Or even if you are not very willing, you will express your blessing and concession in front of everyone at this time, and you must show the gentleness and kindness of a young lady from an aristocratic family.

Especially at this time, when entering the palace to participate in the flower-viewing banquet, everyone guessed that it might be related to those princes. If there was such an opportunity to show their tenderness and kindness, I believe that many ladies present would be willing to give up a hairpin. , to promote their reputation.

But what she met today was Qin Wanru!

"I'm really sorry. My mother also likes Tang Qianyan's hairpin. I asked Miss to return this hairpin to me first!" Qin Wanru bowed sideways, then raised her body and said calmly.

Although the relationship between cousins ​​can also be family love, this kind of thing related to hairpins seems a bit ambiguous and not very easy to use. And what Qin Wanru said about his mother is a feeling of filial piety. Compared with this kind of thing The ambiguous meaning is even more generous and decent.

With just such a sentence, Gu Xishu was already at a disadvantage.

Many ladies present were also reminded by Qin Wanru's words. They covered their lips with a handkerchief and looked at Gu Xishu with a bit of ridicule. Those who knew Wen Xichi looked at Gu Xishu with increasingly mocking eyes. .

Isn't this the cousin raised in Zuo Xiang's Mansion?

I heard that this young lady seems to have a crush on Mr. Wen San, but it turns out that the goddess is interested and Prince Xiang is not! Mr. Wen San clearly stood on the side with a bystander mentality. He did not say a word for Gu Xishu, nor did he mean to defend her at all.

"Third cousin!" Gu Xishu didn't expect Qin Wanru to be so difficult to deal with. She turned her head and looked at Wen Xichi sadly, clenching the hairpin tightly in her hand. She was unwilling to let go of this hairpin. She took a fancy to it. It's hers.

"Cousin, return the hairpin to this young lady. This lady bought it for her mother. It's not good for you to take someone else's hairpin like this!" Wen Xichi finally spoke under Gu Xishu's expectant eyes.

But these words did not mean to take Gu Xishu's side at all. The dispute between the two people was settled in one sentence. This meant that Gu Xishu was rude and made trouble and snatched Qin Wanru's hairpin.

In Zuo Xiang's Mansion, Gu Xishu has always been the best at getting the attention of everyone in the manor, and she also made everyone in the manor do everything for her. She never thought that Wen Xichi would actually help an outsider in order to get a hairpin today, and she felt ashamed and embarrassed for a moment. Angrily, his face turned blue and white in turns. He looked at the mocking eyes of the people around him and couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.

Suddenly he threw down the hairpin in his hand, turned around, covered his face and cried away.

"Miss, miss!" The maid beside her hurriedly chased after her.

Qin Wanru's eyes fell on the hairpin that fell to the ground. Her eyes were dark, and the delicate flower head on the hairpin had been broken. Gu Xishu was such a person, and she was interested in something. , if she couldn't get it, she would rather destroy it than give it to others. Wen Xichi was destroyed in her hands in the previous life.

When the waiter saw that the hairpin had been thrown, his face turned pale with fright. He ran out and picked up the broken hairpin and the broken ones. He looked at Qin Wanru with a sad face and said, "Miss, look..."

A little boy like him couldn't afford such a hairpin.

"This hairpin belongs to me..." Qin Wanru certainly understood this and said.

But the words were gently interrupted by Wen Xichi: "This hairpin belongs to me. Originally, my cousin was ignorant and snatched the young lady's hairpin. And because she didn't grab it, she broke the hairpin in anger."

This responsibility originally belonged to Gu Xishu, and Wen Xichi had no intention of helping her bury it. In the past, he didn't care, and just regarded her as a young cousin. Since her sister died, he treated her as a younger sister, and they grew up together. Big, but not very wary of her.

Unexpectedly, this fueled her ambition.

Not only did he want to hook up with his second brother, but he also wanted to seduce himself. It really meant that he had his brother in the palm of his hand!

After knowing this, Wen Xichi and Gu Xishu only maintained a superficial affinity. Of course, they would not go out to chase her as she wished at this time, let alone blame Qin Wanru.

Originally, he thought she was the cousin he had grown up with, and he sincerely protected her, but now...he won't be polite!

"How embarrassing. Since I saw this hairpin, it belongs to me!" Qin Wanru raised her head, looked at Wen Xichi and said calmly.

This was said in a very distant tone, as if he was trying to distance himself from Wen Xichi.

"This...that's the case, Miss chooses another hairpin, and I will pay for it to compensate Miss for the loss of this hairpin!" Seeing Qin Wanru's strong refusal, Wen Xichi had no choice but to say.

"Many thanks to the young master. It's just that it's not fair to ask the young master to pay, let alone something that is used by such a woman. I appreciate the young master's kindness. I'd better go and see the young master's cousin. It seems that your cousin is very angry. , don’t get angry with the young master anytime soon!”

Qin Wanru continued to refuse calmly.

What he said was extremely polite and distant, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with him. Even if Wen Xichi wanted to say something more, he couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only helplessly raise his hand to Qin Wanru. , after sighing, turned around and chased in the direction Gu Xishu had just left.

The whole thing happened not long ago, but there were a lot of sounds of Gu Xishu smashing the hairpin in anger just now. Many ladies and ladies from aristocratic families turned to this side. When Wen Xichi left, there were some familiar sounds. They started talking in low voices.

"Is this the Third Young Master of Prime Minister Wen's Mansion?"

"Yes, he is the third young master of Prime Minister Wen's Mansion. I heard that he is very likely to pass the Chungui exam this time."

"That's their cousin? Didn't Mrs. Zuo Xiang say that this cousin is kind and gentle? This kind of bullying behavior is really..."

"I'm afraid this cousin has taken a fancy to Mr. Wen San! She doesn't even care about her identity!"...

Wen Xichi was a well-known nobleman in Beijing. He had outstanding looks and many young ladies fell in love with him. However, he had always been polite to women and had no intention of getting close to them. This also made him feel a little like him just now. The young ladies I knew didn't dare to come up and talk, but now that they were gone, everyone spoke of this cousin with contempt.

And it was an open and honest contempt. Even though they may not have seen the whole scene of Gu Xishu's behavior just now, after Wen Xichi and Qin Wanru's words, they could understand that Miss Gu's behavior was really unacceptable.

Just like this, Mrs. Zuo Xiang actually kept praising her, which made some ladies who originally thought about Wen Xichi jealous and resentful. Given such an opportunity, of course they would not let go of the ridicule, and they were even thinking about going back. Talk to your elders as well, and next time Mrs. Zuo Xiang praises this cousin, she will talk about what happened today.

Let’s see if Mrs. Literary Prime Minister can continue to praise this niece.

A foster girl actually dared to think about Mr. Wen San, who was favored by many aristocratic families in the capital.

From this point of view, there are many young ladies who don't like her. They didn't find anything wrong with her in the past, but now they find that she is completely different from the rumors, and they all express their disdain!

They were talking a lot here, but the guy here was relieved! Nodding and bowing with gratitude, he tried to wrap up the broken hairpin while enthusiastically introducing other accessories to Qin Wanru.

I was afraid that Qin Wanru would be dissatisfied at all.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look at this hairpin!" Hengli suddenly stretched out a hand and forcefully snatched the half-wrapped hairpin from the waiter's hand.
