As luck would have it, Gu Qianluo turned around and bumped into the man's hard chest, letting out a soft groan.
"Husband, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Look at me, how am I dressed?"
Chen Jinheng's eyes darted around, scanning her up and down, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Madam is beautiful, but with this, her beauty will be even more captivating."
As the man finished speaking, a necklace of five-colored gemstones was placed in front of his chest. The gemstones were diamond-shaped, and the sunlight reflected off them, making them look like a seven-colored rainbow, dazzling and beautiful.
"This necklace is so beautiful! It must be very valuable. My husband is so good to me!"
When Gu Qianluo was away managing her business, she and her father saw this gemstone necklace at a century-old silver shop in the capital. It cost 900 taels of silver at the time!

"Actually, it's not a big deal, but now that I've entered the Marquis's mansion and become the mistress, I also want to get along well with my husband."
However, my husband is busy with official duties, and the inner quarters are a place where disputes easily arise.
How many concubines does my husband currently have? What are their personalities like?
If I could find out in advance, I'm sure I'd be able to get along better with my sisters in the future.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng's breathing and heartbeat quickened, and his palms even broke out in a layer of sweat.
He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself. As the second son of a meritorious family, it was perfectly acceptable for him to have many concubines.
