Chapter 18: Estrangement



After saying that, Xu Wanyan took off a pearl hairpin from her head and handed it to Mother Gu.

"Mother Gu, this hairpin is not expensive, it should be worth a few hundred coins. Just consider it as my thank you gift. I didn't think of it just now, so please don't be so formal, Mother Gu."
