Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

Chapter 38 Are you crazy because of poverty?

"Miss, Sister Guyu just came over and said that Madam Liu will come to visit tomorrow." Liqiu helped Ye Ziyu take off her headdress.

"Madam Liu? But she is the wife of Lord Liu from the Imperial Observatory?" Ye Ziyu thought about it and it seemed that the only person she knew with the surname Liu was Liu Zhizhi.

"Ah."

"I haven't seen Zhizhi for a while, and I don't know what Zhizhi is busy with. Next time, I can introduce Zhizhi to Aqing and let Aqing teach Zhizhi. I always feel that Zhizhi is too weak and can be bullied easily."

"Indeed, Miss Zhizhi has a very weak personality, but as soon as I see Miss Zhizhi, I feel like protecting her, hehe." Li Qiu grinned foolishly.

"You silly girl."

"I didn't expect that the person we met that time was actually Miss Ye San. I didn't even recognize her." Qin Luoheng said to Fang Jingxiu on the way back.

"She must have made some changes. If not for that time, maybe we could have gotten a step closer." Fang Jingxiu looked unclear.

"It wasn't because of her. Later I sent someone to inquire about it. It was the man surnamed He who wanted to be a hero and save the beauty. He also had some conflicts with those people before, so the government sent people to arrest him."

"Yeah." Fang Jingxiu responded indifferently.

"Miss, Miss Zhizhi is here." Liqiu came in to report.

"So early?" Ye Ziyu had just gotten up and had just finished cleaning up for breakfast.

"Yes, Madam Liu brought Miss Zhizhi here early."

"Well, I'll eat a couple more bites and then go meet her. But Liqiu, I just realized why you call Zhizhi Miss Zhizhi instead of Miss Liu?"

"I don't know why I have an inexplicable sense of closeness to Miss Zhizhi. I feel that calling her Miss Zhizhi sounds nice. Miss, is this not so good?" Li Qiu's voice became weaker as he spoke.

"You guys have always been more strict with rules than I am. As long as you and Zhizhi think it's okay, that's fine. I don't think it's a big deal anyway." Ye Ziyu shrugged.

"Miss, Miss, something bad has happened. The second young lady has started a quarrel with someone." Suddenly a maid ran in.

"What does Ye Xinhe's quarrel with others have to do with me?" Ye Ziyu was speechless.

The maid took a breath and said, "The second young lady had a quarrel with the young lady who came to look for you. I saw that something was wrong, so I came to look for you."

"Which maid are you from?" Ye Ziyu felt that this maid looked unfamiliar.

"I was a maid sweeping the courtyard. It just so happened that young lady came to look for you, so Madam Yang asked me to lead the way. But when we got to the garden, we ran into the second young lady. Then, somehow, when we passed each other, the second young lady suddenly fell down. She said that it was that young lady who hit her, and then they started arguing."

"Why did Ye Xinhe come to our yard? Lead the way." Ye Ziyu put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up.

When Ye Ziyu walked out of her courtyard, "Ayu, where are you going in such a hurry?" Ye Qingyin saw Ye Ziyu.

"Zhizhi came to visit us today, and when she came to look for us, she somehow got into a conflict with Ye Xinhe. I'm going to go check it out now."

"Then I'll go with you."

"Are you blind? Can't you see the road?"

"It was you who hit me."

"Why did I bump into you? You didn't look at the road and bumped into me, and you broke my bracelet. It's my new bracelet, you have to compensate me."

"This is not something I broke, so why should I accompany you?"

"It's because you bumped into me and I fell that the bracelet got broken."

"Ye Xinhe, why are you running into our yard?" Ye Qingyin and the other person rushed over.

"Zhizhi, are you okay?" Ye Ziyu walked to Zhizhi.

"Sister Ayin, Ayu, it really wasn't me who bumped into that girl just now." Zhizhi was about to cry.

"It's okay, it's okay. She can't bully you with us here." Ye Ziyu patted Zhizhi.

"What's going on, second sister?" Ye Ziyu asked Ye Xinhe.

"She bumped into me and caused my wrestling bracelet to break. Is there anything wrong with me asking her to pay for it?" Ye Xinhe said with a matter-of-fact expression.

"No, it's really not like that, Ayu, I didn't." Liu Zhizhi was anxious.

"Okay, regardless of whether she hit you or not, how much do you want her to compensate for this bracelet?" Ye Qingyin asked.

"Ten taels of silver."

"Ye Xinhe, are you crazy because of poverty? Do you have the face to tell others about it? A young lady from a general's mansion, holding a broken bracelet and asking people for ten taels of silver?" Ye Qingyin scolded.

"This bracelet is my favorite one. Is there anything wrong with me asking her to pay more?" Ye Xinhe felt a little guilty after being scolded.

"Second sister said this is your favorite bracelet?" Ye Ziyu asked after looking at the bracelet carefully.

"Yes what's the matter."

"Isn't this the one I gave to my second sister when I came back? If my second sister likes it so much, I still have one. I can give it to her as well." Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

"This...how come this is the one you gave me? I clearly bought it myself, don't confuse me." Ye Xinhe was completely panicked, but she tried to remain calm on the surface.

"Why don't you go to my place and take out that bracelet and you'll know. I really liked this bracelet at that time, so I bought two on purpose." Ye Ziyu actually had one left, because it was cheaper to buy two together.

"Maybe I remembered it wrongly and thought I bought it myself."

"Since Sister likes it so much, I'll send someone to deliver the bracelet to Sister later, okay?"

"Thank you very much, sister." Ye Xinhe said and turned to leave.

"What? Are you so rude now? You're leaving without saying goodbye?" Ye Qingyin said softly.

"Goodbye, big sister." Ye Xinhe bowed to Ye Qingyin and left.

Ye Ziyu and Ye Qingyin brought Liu Zhizhi back to Ye Ziyu's room. Ye Ziyu asked Liqiu to find the bracelet and said, "Take it and give it to your second sister."

"Sister, you don't have to give it to her." Ye Qingyin stopped her.

"It's not expensive to begin with. She just can't bear to part with her other bracelets, so she wants to use mine to blackmail others." Ye Ziyu nodded at Liqiu, motioning for her to send it over.

"You also figured out that I was blackmailing someone?" Ye Qingyin was a little shocked.

"Zhizhi firmly said that she didn't hit her, and I wanted to believe Zhizhi. Besides, the bracelet didn't look like it was broken by an accidental fall, so I could probably guess her purpose."

"She must have used up all her monthly salary this month, so she came to me to withdraw more money. She was afraid that she couldn't withdraw enough money, so she happened to run into Zhizhi and wanted to blackmail her."

"Zhizhi is very unlucky. She was blackmailed when she came to us." Ye Ziyu shook her head.

"Actually, if the amount is not large, I might pay it back, but I really don't have that much money." Zhizhi said.

"It's okay. You don't have to admit it's not your fault. And you can't be wronged in my house."

"Yes, this is the plum blossom pastry I brought for you, come and try it." Plum blossom pastry tastes better when it is hot, so after Liu Zhizhi and Madam Liu came to see Madam Ye, they suggested that they come to find them first.
