Chapter 017 Retaliation

Since it was a trap set up by them, they would naturally catch the perpetrators red-handed. A faint sneer appeared on Ouyang Wu's lips. How could she not guess the inside story?

Seeing Sun Yaoyang walking towards her step by step without noticing, and finally standing in front of her with a sly smile, he mocked Ouyang Wu unscrupulously: "Fifth sister, didn't I expect that you miss your cousin so much in your heart? You actually ordered your closest girl to steal your cousin's things? Could it be... hehe..." As he spoke, Sun Yaoyang stretched out his index finger and pretended to hook Ouyang Wu's chin.

Ouyang Wu took a step back, her face covered with frost, and a sneer of sarcasm flowed from the corner of her mouth: "Cousin Sun, did you suffer from amnesia? Are the promises you made in front of the King of Huai'an and the others yesterday all bullshit?"

"You——" Sun Yaoyang was very angry when he was reminded of the thing he hated the most. He pointed his index finger at Ouyang Wu and said hatefully, "Little bitch, don't be too proud!"

"Little bitch scolded someone?" Ouyang Wu replied casually.

"The little bitch scolded you!"

"Oh, it turned out that the little bitch was scolding me." Ouyang Wu pretended to be ignorant and said seriously.

"You——" Sun Yaoyang realized that he had been tricked again, and his heart was even more angry. He pointed at Ouyang Wu hatefully and wanted to scold her, but he couldn't think of the right words. He froze there for a while. The atmosphere was very awkward, making him a little embarrassed.

"Yang'er, why are you talking to someone irrelevant? You'll lose your status. Come to your aunt." Seeing that she felt sorry for Sun Yaoyang, Sun spoke to help him out. After that, she lowered her eyelids slightly and looked at Ouyang Wu with a sharp look in her eyes, "Fifth girl, how can you talk to your cousin Sun? You are so old, but you don't know the etiquette of host and guest! Could it be that the King of Huai'an..."

Sun's voice was calm, but everyone could hear that Sun was very dissatisfied with Ouyang Wu.

Ouyang Wu's eyes were as calm as water, with a slight raise of the corner of her eyes, looking at Sun with a smile, "My biological mother passed away early. For so many years, my mother has never forgotten to teach me even if she is busy. I really want to thank my mother for her upbringing."

In other words, everything I do now is taught by you, my stepmother. If you want to teach me a lesson, go and reflect on yourself first.

Sun originally thought that after being scolded by her, Ouyang Wu would either cry with her face covered or kneel down to beg for mercy. She never expected that she would dare to talk back, and hit the nail on the head! Sun was furious, but her face remained calm, and her eyelids slightly raised, "It seems that I didn't discipline you enough in the past. I may have to be stricter in the future. After all, you are the daughter of the Zuo Xiangfu. As the saying goes, one rises and all rise, and one falls and all fall. And I can't let your two sisters have difficulty in getting married because of you! Nanny Jin has always been strict with rules, I think..."

Ouyang Wu raised her eyebrows slightly. Is she going to use the name of discipline to get revenge?

Before Sun finished speaking, Ouyang Wu smiled lightly, changed her tone, and pretended to be surprised, "The hairpin on mother's head is so beautiful. Hey, is it a purple-eyed phoenix hairpin?"

Sun's heart skipped a beat, but before she could say anything, Ouyang Wu pretended to be surprised and said, "I heard that my mother also had a glass-type purple-eyed phoenix hairpin in her dowry. I heard that it was extremely valuable and worth a fortune. I didn't expect that you also found a purple-eyed phoenix hairpin. Hey, after a closer look, it turned out to be glass-type."

How precious is the glass-type purple-eyed phoenix hairpin? Glass-type is the highest grade of jadeite, and purple eyes are the rarest color, so glass-type purple eyes are hard to find in the world. The purple eyes on the phoenix hairpin on Sun's head are as big as longan, and there are two in a row. How precious are they?

Sun's heart twitched when she heard this, and it was difficult to keep calm on her face. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she glared at the seemingly innocent Ouyang Wu with hatred. She found that Ouyang Wu's calm eyes seemed to flash with mockery.

Sun couldn't hold her face anymore!

How easy is it to get a glass-type purple-eyed phoenix hairpin? The one on her head was naturally from Yang. Since Yang died, Ouyang Wu was so young, and Yang's dowry with the wealth of the entire Yang Mansion naturally fell into her hands. Almost everyone in the mansion knew about this, but no one dared to mention it.

But now, in front of so many servants, Ouyang Wu's unintentional words directly pierced her hard-earned face.

Ouyang Xiu saw her mother was stumped by the question and was anxious. She stood up and walked quickly to Ouyang Wu, smiling kindly, "Fifth sister, you also think mother's phoenix hairpin is beautiful, right? It was brought back from the northwest by my uncle."

Is Ouyang Xiu deliberately explaining the origin of the phoenix hairpin? However... Ouyang Wu's eyes swept across the jade pendant that Ouyang Xiu was holding down her skirt. A sneer flashed in her eyes, but her face remained calm. She nodded and said, "I see, then this piece of Lantian warm jade, elder sister, must have been brought back from the northwest by our uncle?"

Lantian warm jade, how precious is it? Yang only had two pieces in her hands back then, and now the flatfish jade pendant that Ouyang Xiu was holding down her skirt was Yang's dowry.

Ouyang Xiu's eyes flashed with annoyance, but she could only nod, her big eyes with a smile: "Yes, it was also brought back by my uncle from the northwest. Fifth sister is really smart and understands it at once."

Ouyang Wu smiled lightly and said casually, "Didn't my uncle go to the northwest to fight? Can he bring back so much wealth by fighting?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Ouyang Xiu and the others, but also Sun's face became extremely ugly in an instant! Although Ouyang Wu only said this seemingly unintentional sentence, how heartbreaking was her intention?

"Fifth girl! Don't shut up! Can you say this casually?! Do you know what it means to say that disaster comes from the mouth!" Sun stood up immediately in excitement, and wanted to point at Ouyang Wu's nose and scold her, but she was a noble lady and couldn't act like a shrew, so she could only stare at Ouyang Wu with the most severe eyes.

Ouyang Wu originally just wanted to lead the conversation to trick Sun, but she didn't expect Sun's reaction to be so strong. Her tone was tough, but she felt guilty about the truth being told... Could it be that General Sun really brought back a lot of treasures when he returned triumphantly this time? But there is no such rumor among the people...

Interesting, very interesting, I didn't expect to gain such a reward this time. But now, the most important thing is to save Xiu.

Ouyang Wu looked at Sun calmly, her eyes were calm like a mirror lake, and there seemed to be a hint of disdain, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, "Mother taught me that even if you do this kind of thing, you can't talk about it casually. I understand."

"You--" Sun was even more angry when she saw Ouyang Wu deliberately misinterpreting her meaning.

Ouyang Wu didn't care about her aggressive behavior, and only reminded her calmly: "By the way, mother, what exactly did Ah Xiu do wrong? What about the so-called catching the person red-handed?" Ouyang Wu's voice was calm and calm, and when she said this, her eyes were fixed on the unusually dazzling glass-type purple-eyed phoenix hairpin on Zhang's head.

Sun was about to explode, but seeing the sneer and mockery in Ouyang Wu's eyes, she couldn't say anything for a while.

Although Ouyang Wu didn't say anything, her eyes clearly showed that the biggest thief in the mansion was her - Sun!
