Chapter 12

  Lian Ang was persuading Lian Hao with a serious expression, but saw that he was not convinced and could only stop talking. At this time, Lian Hao took out a large piece of green jade from his pocket and held it in front of Lian Ang's eyes, boasting: "Big brother, isn't this raw jade good? I just got it from my grandmother, who said it was brought by grandfather when he was young. Grandmother said we can make three pieces of jewelry with it. Let's go out with second brother and find the store where our sisters-in-law often go. I've already decided that I want to make a jade butterfly hairpin."

  Lian Ang finally put down his worries and was dragged by his two younger brothers to walk out of the mansion. Sitting in the carriage, Lian Xuan smiled triumphantly and said: "Big brother, Mu Tou, I just carefully inquired that only the East City's small Zhang family store has the best craftsmanship for carved jade. We'll go to that store. However, to find the real owner, we need to circle around the front door of the store and enter directly from the back door, so they will think we are familiar customers. Hehe, it would be best if the old master is at home, he will handle this piece of jade carefully. My wife said she wants a jade leaf hairpin."

  Lian Xuan listened to Lian Hao's words and immediately sat next to Lian Ang, whose temper was not as good as what outsiders saw. Normally a good big brother, when his temper flared up, he would be the first to lose control. Lian Hao smiled at Lian Xuan, knowing that his second brother's temper was better than his big brother's, and that he could talk things over with him, but for important matters, he had to find the eldest. Lian Ang gave his little brother a few cold glances before turning away, muttering: "You've been doing well lately, I won't lose my temper with you."

  Lian Ang didn't think so, Lian Hao wasn't a soft-hearted person. He seemed to be born without much sympathy for women. Many delicate and beautiful women would cry in front of him, hoping he would glance at them with pity. But Lian Hao would pass by them directly, not even stopping his footsteps. Afterwards, he would say, "What a nuisance, so many tears, blocking my way." Now, hearing Lian Xuan's words, Lian Ang didn't know if he really didn't understand or was just speaking up for Lian Hao, and could only secretly glare at him fiercely, startling Lian Xuan to move away.

  The carriage of the Wang Fu went out of the south gate, and Lian Ang asked in a low voice, "How much silver did you secretly give her?" Lian Xuan also sat up straight when he heard this question, looking at Lian Hui's expression. Only Lian Hui himself shook his head and said, "I've never given her any silver. The only thing I gave her was a gold hairpin, which she also gave away the next day when we met the new bride. My monthly allowance is managed by Lian Xi and Lian Gao, so apart from the monthly allowance given to her by the Wang Fu, I don't think she would have too much silver on her."

  Lian Hao also nodded in agreement, he was equally surprised by Jiang Wan's casual gift of the couplet. Lian Ang spoke up again to persuade: "Mu Tou, if she has a mind to target the Wang Fu, there are too many wrongdoings in the mansion that can be exposed to cause trouble. The women who came from the Wang Fu last time are the best excuse. Now that she accepts your arrangement, you should be careful of her, I'm worried that she has ulterior motives towards you. The best aspect is that she has deep feelings for you, which is why you arranged for her to stay outside."

  Lian Hao listened to Lian Ang's words and looked at the expression in his eyes, shaking his head and saying: "Big brother, you're overthinking it, she doesn't have that many tricks up her sleeve. People with her temperament won't easily take things to heart. As for the matter of the legitimate wife, I don't want to think about it too much for now, let's wait until the rumors die down before discussing it again. However, that woman must be someone I personally approve of; if not, I will definitely do the opposite."

  Lian Ang and Lian Xuan exchanged a knowing glance, both aware that it was too late to say anything now. The carriage swayed into a small path, soon arriving at the outer gate of Lian Hui's newly purchased estate. Lian Ang and Lian Xuan jumped down from the carriage, surveying their surroundings, gazing at the neatly arranged courtyard, they nodded in unison, Lian Xuan smiled and said: "Our wooden brother has an eye for things, this first big purchase is a great success, just look around, it's still a place where one can live peacefully."

  Lian Ang said in a low voice to Lian Xuan, "You go back and tell Father about this, I'll stay here with Mu Tou." Lian Xuan didn't enter the courtyard gate, he turned the horse carriage around and left. Lian Ang and Lian Hui entered the courtyard, Lian Hui sat on a stool in the courtyard to cool off, Lian Ang also sat down beside him at the old man's invitation. The old man was quite perceptive, he brought over a table and also asked the woman from the back of the courtyard to come into the kitchen to boil some water, which was quickly served.

  The old man glanced at Lian Hao, who was staring at the gate of the courtyard without moving, and nodded to Lian Ang: "Good. When it gets a bit darker later, I'll hang lanterns on the wall." The night grew even deeper, and Lian Xuan also rushed over. He looked at Lian Hao, who had opened the gate of the courtyard, and saw the gloomy expression in his eyes. He shook his head lightly and said to him: "It's nighttime, mother asked me and big brother to come and help you warm up the courtyard." Lian Ang saw Lian Xuan's expression, and after Lian Hao walked out of the courtyard, he heard Lian Xuan quickly say to him: "A very strange thing happened. We can't find anyone in the city, at several city gates, we asked people to ask around, no one said they saw two women like that leaving the city."
