C29 A Sweet Mouthed Miss Four

"What do you mean, little sister? I have good intentions for little sister. I feel so wronged that little sister is treating me like this." Zhang Shi pouted as she felt wronged.

Just as Madame Li was about to reply, the old lady shot a knife at her. "What are you fighting for!? Why did the two of you start arguing today? Hurry up and split them up, and if you keep arguing about these good stuff, none of you will get anything else. "

Madame Li kept silent, but her expression was one of unquenchable indignation.

Mrs. Zhang snorted. She put the treasures away for herself without any change in her expression. Then, she cleaned up the remaining treasures one by one from her sister-in-law in the room. As the direct daughter of Bai Ruotong, she naturally got more treasures than others. Cui Er, who was standing behind her, looked at the pile of gold and silver jewelry, her eyes glowing red.

She held the key to Bai Ruotong's storehouse. Was it not up to her to choose when these treasures were moved back to the Qing Tong Courtyard?

Although Bai Lingyao was only a concubine, the rewards she received weren't any less than Bai Ruotong's. On the other hand, Second Miss Bai Lingwei's rewards could be counted on one hand. Her birth mother was the Fourth Branch Bai Clan. Although the surname of the Bai Clan was good, her mother's family was a destitute family of nobles.

Marquis Bai Dingyi's estate had made an attack on the third generation, and her father's generation was the last. This group of people relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water. Eating the wealth laid down by the ancestors, but not considering the revival of the family, fighting for money all day and living in peace with wealth. How could the imperial government allow them to eat an idle meal?

As such, no one in the general's estate placed the Bai clan in their eyes. Sooner or later, her family would lose their power and influence.

Everyone sat in the hall and chatted as they finished giving out the rewards. The whole family was extremely lively as they gathered together, as if it was the new year. The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Her son had rendered meritorious service in battle, so when he returned, he would at least be conferred the title of marquis.

The sun was about to set. After everyone had their meal with the old lady and greeted her politely, they returned to their own courtyards.

Mrs Zhang waited on the old lady and did not leave. Bai Ruotong ate a big bowl of rice and leisurely sat on the chair, fanning herself. It seemed that she did not have any intention of leaving either.

"Ruotong, why aren't you leaving?" After everyone left, the old lady asked.

Bai Ruotong stood up with a smile, took up a peacock ivory hairpin and walked towards the old lady. "Ruotong greets Grandmother."

"Have you recovered recently?" the old lady asked.

"Grandmother, Ruotong just received a hairpin. Ruotong once heard from her mother that ivory has the meaning of prolonging one's life, and this hairpin is most suitable for Grandmother. Ruotong would like to offer it to Grandmother as a gift of wealth."

The old lady held Bai Ruotong up and said in a gratified tone, "I'm almost buried in the ground, these good things should be enjoyed by you young girls. I'm very pleased with your good intentions, but keep the hairpin for yourself."

It wasn't that the old lady was unwilling to accept Bai Ruotong's kindness, but that she was too old to care about such worldly possessions.

"Look, mother, how well do we understand things now?" Mrs Zhang was not the same person. In the past, Bai Ruotong was an unreasonable person, but now she knew how to please an old lady. She really didn't know what she was up to.

"Who says that Grandmother is about to be buried in the ground. Grandmother's body is still very strong, and when Big Brother becomes a family member, he will have to carry his great-grandson." Bai Ruotong smiled sweetly, grabbed Grandmother's arm and gently shook it in a coquettish manner, "Ruotong feels that Grandmother's dress is a bit cleaner, and wearing a hairpin makes her look even more young and rich. Grandmother is the head of our family, how can good things not have Grandmother's share? "
