Chapter 79 He Wants to Give the Night Pearl to Another Woman
Yuan Wanru had heard that the fifth prince was about to get married.
The father of the Fifth Prince's wife was Liu Deting, the Minister of the Dali Temple. The Liu family was prosperous and had many officials in the court. When he heard that Madam Zhaohua was interested in this marriage, he was very satisfied.
Although she had just married Lu Jiangnian, how could the parties involved and the bystanders be the same?
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow afternoon."
Lu Jiangnian could see that she was very interested, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Do you like going so much?"
"Next time someone holds a wedding banquet and sends me an invitation, I won't refuse and will take you with me, okay?"
His position was somewhat sensitive and he couldn't have too close interactions with others, so he turned down many invitations to banquets.
Yuan Wanru waved her hand: "Don't go. Just go once to see the excitement. It's new. If you go too many times, you won't be interested anymore."
She was so considerate and didn't give him any trouble at all. Lu Jiangnian felt soft-hearted and naturally reached out to touch her head: "My wife is so kind."
An idea suddenly occurred to him: Isn't this a good time to give a gift?
Yuan Wanru frowned. His behavior was a little too intimate. She felt that Lu Jiangnian liked her more and more and started to touch her.
Just as she was about to remind him not to touch her next time he had something to say, she saw him stand up all of a sudden: "I'll go out for a while, and I'll go with you to pay my respects to mother later."
He was in such a hurry, I don't know what he was thinking about.
Half an hour later, he reappeared.
He pushed over a carved sandalwood box. The box itself looked very expensive. I wonder what treasure was inside.
Yuan Wanru asked curiously, "Is this a wedding gift for tomorrow?"
Lu Jiangnian snorted coldly: "The gift has already been prepared. I will not give such a good thing to Murong Jun."
"Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"
Only then did she realize that this thing was given to her, but, if someone was too kind to her for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief.
Yuan Wanru didn't open it, and said calmly: "It's inexplicable. Why do you want to give me something? I don't want it."
Lu Jiangnian gritted his teeth secretly. This woman really didn't want his things.
He insisted on giving it to her!
"You are my wife. If you like to go out for social events, it will also affect me."
"I just wanted to reward you because you are so sensible."
He said sternly, "I am now in charge of the palace guards. The simpler the communication, the better. You have helped me a lot, and this is what you deserve."
"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. You did the right thing, so I naturally cannot be stingy."
He reached out and opened the box, pushed it in front of her, and raised his voice slightly: "Why, you don't dare to accept it?"
"This thing is just gathering dust in the warehouse. You are my wife, so I am giving it to you. It is legitimate and reasonable. Why are you afraid to accept it?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll give it to another woman someday?"
That’s all for the previous words.
The last sentence really irritated Yuan Wanru.
In the box, there was a night-shining pearl the size of a duck egg. The moment Lu Jiangnian opened the box, soft light poured out, making the room much brighter.
This thing has been a rare treasure since ancient times. She reached out and touched it. It was smooth and cool.
If she doesn't accept it, will it belong to Liang Yusong in the future?
Thinking of this, she felt unhappy.
The rumors in Yanmen County, the Crown Princess' birthday party, and perhaps, Cao Lanxin's false accusation of her stealing the hairpin was also Liang Yusong's doing.
By this calculation, Liang Yusong has secretly plotted against her several times.
Such a beautiful night pearl is priceless. If she doesn't want it, it might really fall into Liang Yusong's hands in the future.
In that case, she would accept it generously. After all, it was Lu Jiangnian who gave it to her willingly.
After figuring it out, Yuan Wanru's smile became more and more obvious: "Since you are so kind, I will accept it."
Lu Jiangnian didn’t know which words moved her, but this was a good start.
No matter the silver before or the earrings from a few days ago, they were all given to her in the name of other people. Only this time, it was truly given to her in his name.
He just didn't believe that after he emptied the warehouse, she could still be so hard-hearted to him.
-
The next morning, after breakfast, Liuzhi came in and whispered, "There's a letter from Rongshoutang. The two cousins from the Cao family have made an appointment with Miss Liang to go shopping together today."
Yuan Wanru laughed twice: "Cao Lanxin is not a generous person. No matter whether Liang Yusong really tipped me off or not, as long as she has doubts, she will feel resentment towards Liang Yusong."
"Besides, this matter is too beneficial to her. Even if Liang Yusong has done nothing wrong to her, she will eventually agree to it."
After all, the document stated that Cao Lanxin had to kneel down and kowtow to apologize. How humiliating that was.
She never mentioned this matter because she didn't want to anger Cao Lanxin.
But Cao Lanxin didn't forget, and she didn't forget either.
"Liuzhi, I want to dress up nicely today, so you have to help me with my makeup."
Liuzhi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best to make you shine today."
She chose an apricot-colored jacket and paired it with an exquisite pink gold-woven skirt. The high bun on her head was simple and elegant, and her temples were adorned with peach blossom-patterned gemstone hair flowers. On her ears were the pair of earrings that Lu Jiangnian had given her a few days ago.
The dress has a beautiful style and fresh pattern, and the waist is designed in a unique way, making her waist look slimmer and more slender.
He walked out of the Mianyue Pavilion with Liuzhi and Liuyan, and just as he went down the steps in front of the courtyard, he met the armed Lu Jiangnian.
He was sweating, probably because he had just come out of the training room.
"Why are you home?"
Yuan Wanru thought that he had gone out a long time ago.
Lu Jiangnian looked at her with dissatisfaction: "Madam, your husband is taking a day off today."
How come she doesn't care about his affairs at all?
This eye-catching outfit clearly showed that she put a lot of thought into it. "The wedding banquet doesn't start until the afternoon, why are you dressed so early?"
Why be so serious? He and the fifth prince are not the same kind of people.
Yuan Wanru knew that he had misunderstood, so she explained, "I'm going out now, and I'm not dressing up for a banquet."
She wore the agate earrings he gave her, and he should have been happy. However, she was so serious about it. Who was she going out to meet?
Looking at her slender waist, his dark eyes became a little deeper.
"Anyone have a date?"
"I don't have any friends, so how could I have an appointment with anyone? I just want to go out and relax."
Lu Jiangnian said calmly: "I have nothing to do today, I can go with you..."
Yuan Wanru smiled sweetly and interrupted him: "No, the place I'm going to is just a store selling rouge, powder, clothes and jewelry. It's not suitable for you to go there."
Thinking of his comments about Liang Yusong that day, she was worried that he might ruin things, so she didn't tell him the truth.
His eyes became much gloomier. He heard that she had just gone out yesterday. What happened outside that was so attractive that she couldn't help but go there again today?
I even dressed up deliberately.
"In that case, the lady should go and come back early, so as not to delay the banquet in the afternoon."
He just watched her leave with a gloomy look on his face.
