Chapter 4 004. Calculation
Xu Yulan had a hint of gloating and some greed in her eyes.

Although she is the second daughter-in-law, in this mansion, as long as her mother-in-law is around, even the eldest sister-in-law cannot surpass her.

There are benefits this time. Although it was the eldest wife who took the initiative to provoke it, I believe my aunt will not let me suffer any loss.

"Ms. Bai, what do you think of Tong'er's outfit today?" The old lady did not say it directly, but grabbed Gu Antong's hand and said with a smile on her face.

When Bai Suihe saw this scene, he found it in his memory. If he remembered correctly, the plot was about to begin. Gu Antong was dressed in this way, showing off her charm at the princess's mansion, and her lifelong entanglement with the third prince also began.

If she thought it didn't matter when reading the book, as they were all paper people, but now that she was in the situation, she felt that such a plot was simply shattering to her world view.

Heroine, if you want to stand out, then dress yourself up and use your own things. But why are you thinking about your aunt's dowry?

She now remembered a description in the play, that Gu Antong's flamboyant red dress was matched with her dowry flame glass headpiece, which made her particularly radiant, standing out among many ladies and catching the eyes of several princes.

"An Tong and the old lady are grandparents and granddaughter. She inherited the old lady's good looks, so she should look good in anything she wears." After Bai Suihe said this, he obviously saw that the expressions of the mother and daughter of the eldest wife froze.

I think at this moment, they were all secretly cursing Bai Suihe in their hearts. After all, the old lady had no other advantages except that she was round, and even her face could not be forced to be kind.

The old lady was very happy to hear this. She felt that what the third daughter-in-law said today was very pleasing to the ear. Her granddaughter looked very much like herself when she was young. "Tong'er and I when we were young are exactly the same. I wonder which boy will get her in the future."

Gu Antong lowered her eyes to hide the disgust in them, and when she looked up again, she covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, "Grandma, you are so flattering. If your granddaughter could even be one-third as good as you were when you were young, I would be secretly happy. It's only you who are praising your granddaughter."

"Grandma never tells lies. Everyone says so."

That's just polite talk, can't you have some sense in your heart? Madam Liu Yun is almost grinding her teeth. Of course her daughter's good looks are hers. What does it have to do with you, a stupid old lady like a pig?
But her face was full of flattery, "It's said that my eldest sister is the most favored by you, old lady. Look at her mouth, it's just like you..."

Bai Suihe almost couldn't help rolling his eyes at their mutual commercial praise. They were all so thick-skinned, no wonder they could lie with their eyes open.

She was just thinking of taking these words as a joke, but who knew that the anger would immediately turn to her side.

"Third Aunt is praising An Tong so much that she almost feels embarrassed. To be honest, Third Aunt is the best-looking one in our family. When my younger sister is born, I, the eldest sister, will probably be outshined."

After Gu Antong finished speaking, she looked at Bai Suihe's belly meaningfully.

It’s a pity that Bai Suihe is not the original owner. No matter whether the baby in her belly is a son or a daughter, it is her own child after all, and she does not favor boys over girls.

"Sister-in-law, look at this girl, she's so outspoken. You must be pregnant with our little prince. When the time comes, I, as your aunt, will definitely prepare a generous gift."

Liu Yun glanced at Gu Antong, and the eyes of mother and daughter met in the air, and they immediately understood each other's meaning.

"Third Aunt, don't take my words seriously. The baby in your belly must be my cousin. It's just that I'm the only girl in the mansion, so I'm bound to be lonely. I just want a younger sister to keep me company..."

Bai Suihe stared at the teacup in front of her, not wanting to listen to their gossip. She held her belly and stood up, "Why would I bother with you, An Tong? It's a pity that the age gap between my unborn child and you is a bit large. I'm afraid we won't be able to get along for long."

My unborn child, thank you for your love and care as a sister."

"..." Gu Antong turned her head away. "Auntie San, what do you mean? Are you saying that when the child grows up, she will be old?"
This is a slap in her own face, saying that the child in her belly will not have any social interaction with her.

"Okay, we are all family. Let the sisters get along with each other in the future." The old lady made the final decision. She had no expectations for the fetus in the belly of the third daughter-in-law. Grandchildren did not matter to her.

"Third daughter-in-law, you are going to be a mother, so you should be kind and loving. Don't bother with the child."

If Bai Suihe didn't want to maintain his image,
Everyone wanted to fight back directly on the spot without even considering who started the fight first.

"I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you. Look at Tong'er's clothes. She needs to have the right jewelry to match them. If I remember correctly, you have a set of glass jewelry on your hands, which goes well with her clothes.

Tong'er is about to attend the Grand Princess' banquet. This is a great opportunity. If she performs well at the banquet, you, as her aunt, can also get some credit."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that he was just asking for something.

Bai Suihe wasn't so easily perfunctory, and asked directly, "Old Madam, when you mention this, of course I remember. Among my dowry, there was a set of flame glass jewelry. My grandmother specially searched for it and left it to me as a family heirloom. Ever since it was passed to me, I have cherished it very much. I didn't expect that Old Madam and An Tong still remembered it."

The old lady's face looked a little ugly. This Bai was simply ungrateful. She, as the mother-in-law, had already spoken, and they still mentioned things like dowry. Did she mean that they were thinking about Bai's dowry?
Gu Antong just wanted to get the things as soon as possible, and didn't notice the implication of Bai Suihe's words. "Third Aunt is right, this is it."

Liu Yun wanted to stop it but it was too late. She could only cover her mouth with a handkerchief and cough dryly.

"So it was my niece who took a fancy to my dowry," Bai Suihe said, and the faces of several organizations present changed, and even Gu Antong came back to his senses.

"Third aunt, please don't say that. I just want to borrow it." Gu Antong stood up quickly in fear. The mansion had invited a maid from the palace to teach her the rules. If this word got out, her marriage would be...

"So you just wanted to borrow it. I thought..." Bai Suihe covered her mouth in surprise and annoyance. "Look at my mouth. An Tong is the eldest daughter of our Gu family. Naturally, she wouldn't do such a shameless thing. Third Auntie is here to apologize to you."

"Ms. Bai, please don't be so outspoken in the future." The old lady was also coveting the dowry of the third house, and was thinking of buying it slowly in the future. Today was a good breakthrough, but she didn't expect Tong'er to be anxious.

Gu Antong looked at the old lady for help, "Grandma, this is all my fault, but where can I find suitable jewelry to match this dress?"
