Chapter 51
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Aside from the fact that Mama Cui was still begging with Yu Linglong unwillingly, at this time, the back yard of Yu Mansion was leaping with activity because of the arrival of Lord Xu . Lord Xu strode towards the inner courtyard, and the housekeeper took a group of maids and hurriedly followed Lord Xu .
Naturally, no one dared to block him . Even the head of the family, General Yu, did not dare to say anything . Did the slaves dare to stop Lord Xu? Did they want to lose their heads?
Not only did he not dare to stop him, he had to send a brave maid to lead the way for Lord Xu .
All the others could do was quickly inform the female relatives in each room to sit in their rooms obediently and not come out, lest they run into Lord Xu .
For a while, all the people in the backyard of the Yu house were running in all directions to inform their masters . Of course, Lord Xu went straight to the inner courtyard of the Yu house to see Yu Linglong . This commotion made everyone know what was happening .
Fortunately, the backyard of Yu’s mansion was not too big, and Pinlan Garden was not far away . In less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Lord Xu had reached the gate of Pinlan Garden .
The road was tranquil, and not even a cat or dog appeared . However, in the dark, there were many pairs of eyes, watching the movement of Pinlan Garden .
Lord Xu cleared his throat, dusted the non-existent dust off his body, and said loudly: “Under Yu Lieyang, I request to see Fourth Lady Yu . ”
Mama Cui, who was still pleading with Yu Linglong, heard this sound . She stood in a daze as if she was stuck in a martial arts pose . She couldn’t even speak .
Such a man’s voice suddenly appeared in the inner courtyard . Anyone should be surprised, but Mama Cui was not because when she heard the man’s voice, she immediately knew who came .
Lord Xu went directly into the inner courtyard to look for Yu Linglong, which meant that Mama Cui’s mission to cajole Yu Linglong to go out had completely failed . It caused Lord Xu to barge into Pinlan Garden . She didn’t have to think about what was happening outside .
Ignoring Mama Cui’s gray face, Yu Linglong heard Lord Xu’s voice . She frowned, and without looking back, said to Ling’er: “Go, tell him to leave!”
Although Xuan Cao was clever, she wasn’t courageous . Mama Cui didn’t have any hope for her . Now she was the only one who was courageous and stubborn on her side .
Ling’er came out and opened the door . She didn’t salute him and said crisply: “My lady said no, please leave, sir!”
Lord Xu was not annoyed and shook the folding fan in his hand . His handsome face showed a smile: “The ancients said that seeing a smile is rare, let alone a face?”
After speaking, he didn’t wait for Ling’er to reply . He took out a small box from his chest and threw it to her .
Ling’er had nowhere to hide, so she could only catch it . She heard Lord Xu say: “This is the Pearl of the Night from the South China Sea . It is my meeting gift to Fourth Lady Yu . ”
He p.r.o.nounced his words loudly . They were clearly meant for Yu Linglong .
Yu Linglong became more and more annoyed when she heard him, and Ling’er took the small box and put it on the table . [Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]
When they opened it, everyone’s eyes suddenly brightened . The box was covered with plain satin . In the center was a Pearl of the Night the size of a chicken egg . Although it was daytime, it still exuded a faint light .
Yu Linglong only glanced, and couldn’t help squeezing her white fist .
d.a.m.n it, what did he take her for!?
The little hands grabbed the Pearl of the Night, and Yu Linglong strode out of the room .
Outside the gate, the flamboyant Lord Xu in his long gown saw Yu Linglong . Before he could smile, he was severely hit by something in his eye!
“You treat me as a prost.i.tute? You still give me a gift? Take the f.u.c.king gift and get lost!”
It’s not that Yu Linglong deliberately wanted to be rough, but it was really that Lord Xu’s move was too irritating . Did he really think that he could use the Pearl of the Night to see her? Only in his dreams!
Lord Xu rubbed his forehead, but still tried to smile: “Linglong, I was wrong . Whatever you like, I will find it for you!”
Yu Linglong was so angry that her eyebrows were erect . She cursed: “I’d like you to have a slow and painful death!”
After speaking, Yu Linglong slammed the door!
Outside Pinlan Garden, the flowers were red and the willows were green, the gra.s.s was long and the orioles were flying . Lord Xu stood in the quiet garden with a faint smile .
“Linglong, I will come again tomorrow!”
…
Ling’er watched Lord Xu leave from the crack of the door, and then ran out to pick up the Pearl of the Night thrown out by Yu Linglong, and went back to the room .
“Miss, do you want this pearl or not?”
Ling’er held the brilliant Pearl of the Night in the palm of her hand and asked carefully .
Her house was like a dartboard, and she had seen a lot of treasures since she was a child, but this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful pearl .
Even if this brightly colored Pearl of the Night was not priceless, at least it could buy several mighty darts, right?
Such a precious...o...b..was thrown out by Yu Linglong without her even looking at it . Did she see it as a brick?
Yu Linglong drank a sip of tea and calmed her anger . She said without looking back: “Yes, why not? Take it for silver!”
Lord Xu was so wealthy, a Pearl of the Night was nothing to him, right? Some people burned their money, and she didn’t mind helping him disperse his wealth!
Seeing Yu Linglong’s face flushed with anger, Xuan Cao couldn’t help but laugh . The lady was very young, but how could she not understand what happens between men and women? Wasn’t she still too shy to be angry?
Ling’er was holding the pearl, and wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to . Someone with such a distinguished status as Lord Xu had a b.u.mp on his head from her own lady . It really was a fantastic story .
As soon as Yu Linglong looked up, she saw Xuan Cao and Ling’er grinning and looking at each other . She couldn’t help but feel angry: “You didn’t leave yet, what are you doing here?”
Ling’er stuck out her tongue, smiled at Xuan Cao, and stepped out .
The young lady was in a bad mood, and no one dared to do anything unlucky . Xuan Cao refilled Yu Linglong with tea and went out quietly .
The bamboo-green window screen reflected the swaying beauty of the begonia flowers under the corridor . The spring was just right outside, but the people in the room had no mood to appreciate the beauty .
Even though this embroidered pillow was so courageous, she dared to provoke it!
