Mrs. Gu’s beautiful eyes swept over the crowd and she said, "My Ruanruan has received everyone’s care! This is a token of my gratitude to you all."
This noblewoman is indeed generous!
They were eager to form an association and did not decline.
For others, it was all necklaces.
But what was given to Mrs. Yin was a pair of ruby stud earrings.
Those rubies, crimson like blood.
Mrs. Gu took out the earrings with a smile, "Mrs. Yin is beautiful, and these suit you better than anyone else." Google seaʀᴄh NoveI-Fire.ɴet
She appeared very humble.
She said to Mrs. Yin, "Let me put them on for you."
Mrs. Yin nodded reservedly.
She thought to herself: This woman is finally bowing down to me.
Mrs. Sun Jingan watched, her eyes clear.
She thought to herself: Qin Su has met her match!
Indeed, Mrs. Gu removed Mrs. Yin’s original earrings.
She took out the pair of rubies from the box.
The posts were very thick | strong.
Three times thicker than ordinary posts.
Mrs. Yin was shocked when she saw them.
But she couldn’t lose her composure, barely managing a smile, "I’ll wear them another day."
Mrs. Gu pressed her shoulder with one hand.
Her eyes burning intensely, "They’re already out, why not give them a try?"
A mother, her hand was very strong.
Mrs. Yin, slender in stature, could not break free.
The other noblewomen were frightened, their faces turning pale.
They wanted to speak.
Mrs. Gu smiled and spoke, "These earrings have a story, would Mrs. Yin like to hear it?"
Mrs. Yin, angry and scared, "I don’t want to hear it."
Mrs. Sun Jingan took a sip of tea calmly and with poise.
She smiled, "I always love hearing stories."
Mrs. Gu moderated her expression, she said, "Long ago, there was a noblewoman who had just had a daughter, whom she treasured like a precious jewel! On the day of the child’s birth, her husband gave her a pair of ruby earrings."
Mrs. Yin’s body trembled.
She struggled to maintain her composure and not lose it completely.
Mrs. Gu continued, "The woman wore these earrings, and the infant also loved to gaze at them."
Her tone shifted, "But just a few days later, the infant was stolen! The woman cried every day, the tears mixed with blood and the pigeon’s blood rubies turned even redder..."
At this point, several noblewomen had teary eyes.
[Who could have imagined such a heartbreaking story!]
[I wonder who could be so cruel as to tear a mother from her daughter!]
Mrs. Gu smiled lightly.
Her eyes and eyebrows softened, "Later, the infant was found."
She said, "I give these earrings to Mrs. Yin, hoping she too can have the same good fortune."
Mrs. Gu applied force with her hand.
The earring forcefully pierced into Mrs. Yin’s earlobe.
Crimson blood trickled down her fair, delicate flesh.
Mrs. Gu exclaimed, "Oh dear, my apologies, that was careless of me."
She removed the earrings, her tone indifferent, "It seems, Mrs. Yin does not suit these earrings."
Mrs. Yin trembled with anger.
Was this a deliberate insinuation?
But she could not ask.
If she asked, she would be under suspicion.
She covered her bleeding ear and proudly said, "I must take my leave."
Mrs. Gu nodded slightly.
She bid goodbye to Su Ruanruan.
Seeing Mrs. Gu’s elegance for the first time, Ruanruan felt admiration.
Mrs. Gu gently stroked her cheek.
She clenched her teeth, "Sooner or later, I’ll strip the hide off this witch!"
Just then, Mrs. Sun Jingan came over.
She praised, "I knew Mrs. Gu was clever, but only today did I see it for myself."
Mrs. Gu was very perceptive.
Knowing Mrs. Sun Jingan was courting her.
Sweeping away her earlier ferocity, she playfully said, "I wonder if Mrs. Sun has the time for a cup of coffee?"
Mrs. Sun Jingan linked her arm, speaking softly, "For you, there’s always time."
