At that moment, many people had the same thought, and when they looked at each other, they realized that they were thinking the same thing.
Then someone suggested, "Why don't we go down and take a look?"
“Okay.” The others readily agreed.
…
Downstairs in the most famous jewelry shop in the capital, Wan Ge was looking at a bracelet of exceptional quality and material.
Grandmother's birthday is coming soon, so Wan Ge went out this time to pick out a gift for her.
Actually, she had come a long time ago, but since she hadn't found what she wanted, she asked the shop owner to keep an eye out and reserve a nice jade bracelet for her.
Just yesterday, a servant came to inform her that a new batch of jade bracelets had recently arrived, and that both their quality and material were extremely good, so he invited her to come to the shop to take a look.
So Wan Ge, who rarely goes out, came to this jewelry shop.
"You like this bracelet?" A deep male voice came from beside her ear. Wan Ge was startled and her hand instinctively loosened. When she realized what was happening, she hurriedly tried to grab the jade bracelet again, but a large hand had already caught it in time.
His skin was porcelain white, his knuckles were well-defined, and his ten fingers were long and slender. However, there seemed to be some thin calluses on his hands, probably due to years of handling weapons.
"Sorry, did I scare you?"
Wan Ge quickly took a few steps back. She didn't know who the person in front of her was, and keeping her distance was the thing she should do.
"No...no..."
Prince Duan realized he might have frightened her, and seeing his current guarded demeanor, he lowered his voice and took out the token from his waist: "Don't be afraid, I am Prince Duan, your fiancé."
When Wan Ge and the others saw the token, they were certain that the other party was indeed Prince Duan. Moreover, in this imperial city, in front of the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion, no one dared to make a false claim.
So Wan Ge bowed to him again: "This humble girl greets Your Highness, Prince Duan."
Jiang Jin felt uncomfortable seeing how unfamiliar she was with him, and frowned slightly: "We are engaged, and soon you will be my queen. You don't need to be so distant with me."
Wan Ge simply lowered her head and replied, "This is against the rules."
Jiang Jin felt uncomfortable but not angry when he heard her say that. Oh well, they would become husband and wife sooner or later anyway. He was still too unfamiliar to her, so it was normal for her not to dare to.
Jiang Jin was very unhappy to be treated this way by his fiancée and to see her so distant.
Wan Ge sensed it too, so she tightened her grip on the handkerchief, seemingly a little worried.
Prince Duan noticed her worry, but pretended not to know it. He handed the bracelet back to her and then looked at the other bracelets and other jewelry.
While picking out a few items for the shopkeeper to bring out, he said to Wange, "You're so young, this bracelet is a bit too mature for you, but if you like it, we'll buy it. I'll pick out some other things for you."
Looking at the item he had the shopkeeper bring out, Wan Ge had to admit it did suit her quite well, except…
"My daughter bought the jade bracelet because my grandmother's birthday is coming soon."
When Jiang Jin heard her say that, he remembered that Madam Chi was indeed going to hold a birthday banquet. However, these things were usually prepared by the steward of the Prince's Mansion, and Jiang Jin had not paid much attention to them before.
After all, it's not a gift for Wan Ge, so as long as it's appropriate and suitable, that's fine.
In the capital city, many wealthy families appear to have harmonious relationships on the surface, but in reality, they are engaged in fierce competition and infighting.
He had heard of Madam Chi; she was a very capable person, but she was somewhat sexist, so he didn't pay much attention to his fiancée's grandmother.
Because he simply didn't think that his future wife and he would have a good relationship.
"Is your grandmother good to you?" Jiang Jin asked again.
Wan Ge was somewhat surprised that he would ask such a question, and that he would ask it so bluntly.
Wan Ge nodded seriously: "My grandmother treated me very well, and I am quite close to her."
The eldest daughter has a lot to do, but when it comes to managing the household affairs, her best teacher is actually her grandmother.
Her parents also felt that her grandmother could take better care of her, so she started living with her grandmother when she was quite young. She definitely spent much more time with her grandmother than with her parents.
Jiang Jin was a little incredulous, after all, he had not been to the capital for many years and only knew some of the details through inquiries. He was not clear about the specifics, but hearing her say this, he felt that her grandmother must have treated her quite well: "I see, I understand."
But Jiang Jin still had all the jewelry packed up.
“This is not appropriate…” Wan Ge hesitated, feeling that she couldn’t accept it.
Jiang Jin handed the item directly to her: "Is there anything inappropriate about it?"
You are my future queen, my future wife. I'm giving you this; just take it.
Then he helped the person onto the carriage. As Wan Ge got into the carriage, she still looked back at him.
His colleagues, who had witnessed the whole thing, were dumbfounded. Looking at Jiang Jin's expression, as if he wanted to stick to her, who said that Prince Duan didn't like the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion?
The official who was on good terms with Jiang Jin stood beside him and said, "I see... you seem to really like this Miss Chi."
Prince Duan simply turned back and glanced at him with a smile. The smile seemed to have a profound meaning; he said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.
Jiang Jin simply flipped onto his horse and rode away. His colleagues stared at each other, while Lord Zhang seemed lost in thought.
At this moment, Lord Zhang was actually wondering whether Jiang Jin liked this young lady or not. His smile was too strange and hard to understand.
