Chapter 1031: Chapter 1031: A Pair of Jade Ruyi
“Old Madam likes it, that puts my mind at ease,” the Fourth Prince said.
“Like it, like it very much.”
Old Madam took it in her hands, carefully caressing it as if she feared that any more force would shatter it.
Her visit today was precisely to cater to Old Madam’s preferences, win her favor, and thus make winning the beauty’s heart all the easier in the future.
Having done all this, the Fourth Prince then picked out a small box from a pile of gifts and handed it to Xuexue with a twinkle in his eye, saying, “Miss Situ, this gift was personally selected by , I hope you like it.”
With that, he handed the gift box to Xuexue.
Xuexue knew that inside was a pair of Jade Ruyi, invaluable as cities.
In her past life, it was the sa scenario, with the Fourth Prince giving her a pair of Jade Ruyi as a token of engagent.
Back then, the excitent of receiving the gift kept her up all night, spending the entire evening thinking of the Fourth Prince and his affectionate gaze.
Now reflecting upon it all, everything seems so ridiculous. She had been deceived step by step into the trap without knowing, still believing herself to be so alluring that she attracted the Fourth Prince.
Looking at it now, she really deserves to die.
Even though she hated the scumbag Fourth Prince, Situtu Xueer wasn’t foolish. She knew these were treasures, rare to find in the world, and there was no reason not to accept them; it just wasn’t her style.
Therefore, she reached out and took the box, but then quickly tossed it to Zi Xia behind her.
“Zi Xia, this is a treasure, make sure to keep it safe.”
“Yes, Miss Situ.”
Zi Xia, agile and swift, caught it and held it tightly in her embrace.
The Fourth Prince was taken aback for a mont, wondering why Miss Situ wasn’t playing by the rules.
Indeed, most young ladies would eagerly open a gift from a man imdiately, curious about its contents.
Xuexue, however, did not even glance at it and tossed it directly to her maid. This was a Jade Ruyi worth a city’s value; she certainly had nerve.
The Fourth Prince was a bit disappointed: “Miss Situ, won’t you open it to see what it is?”
Xuexue shook her head: “No need, it would be too troubleso to wrap it up again after unwrapping it.”
The Fourth Prince thought Xuexue didn’t realize there was a treasure inside, hence her casual attitude.
“Miss Situ, inside are a pair of Jade Ruyi, they are very valuable.”
Upon the Fourth Prince’s words, everyone was greatly surprised.
As everyone knows, a Jade Ruyi is invaluable, difficult to acquire, let alone a pair.
Now, Old Madam could see that the Fourth Prince had special feelings for Situtu Xueer.
And Situtu Qinger, who had been thrilled to receive the silk just a mont ago, had her excitent swept away. She once thought the Fourth Prince favored her specially, yet in the end, she couldn’t compare to Xuexue, that little cheap person.
She bit her lip in rage, clenching her fists tightly.
Xuexue noticed Situtu Qinger’s abnormal behavior, aware that she was filled with envy.
“Is that so? Then Xuexue shall have a look.” Initially not wanting to flaunt the Jade Ruyi, but seeing Situtu Qinger’s furious expression, Xuexue changed her mind.
She took the gift box from Zi Xia, slowly opening it to reveal a pair of snowy-white Jade Ruyi, their surface clear and shimringly beautiful.
Of course, the main point was their city’s worth of value.
Everyone present stared transfixed, their expressions filled with envy.
Especially Old Madam, whose eyes involuntarily displayed a greedy look, nowhere near that of a person who often chanted Buddhist scriptures.
Xuexue captured everyone’s expressions in the corner of her eye.
She closed the box slowly, with insincerity, “Such a precious gift, I’m grateful to the Fourth Prince.”
The Fourth Prince thought that knowing the true value of this Jade Ornant, Xuexue’s affection for him would increase manifold, filling his heart with joy.
