Chapter 405



A trace of gloominess hovered under her clear and limpid eyes. A nun from Plum Blossom Nunnery?

She had met many of Plum Blossom Nunnery’s nuns. Other than a few normal ones, there seemed to be a lot of suspicious figures. Almost many things were related to Plum Blossom Nunnery’s nuns.

For example, a nun came out of a gold shop. It was a very strange scenario.

Moreover, the nun did not want to have anything to do with her at all. She didn’t even want to have any interaction with her despite her injury. In addition, the nun seemed to repeatedly urge Wei Yuewu not to make the Young Master wait for her.

The Young Master was none other than Wen Tianyao.

The nun gave Wei Yuewu a feeling that she seemed to know Wen Tianyao.

However, Wei Yuewu had never seen her before in Plum Blossom Nunnery…

“Miss, let’s go. The Crown Prince is still waiting for you over there,” Huamo reminded her when she saw that Wei Yuewu was in a daze.

“Let’s go!” Wei Yuewu nodded and put away her doubts. They turned around and walked towards the gold shop.

There were many customers entering and leaving Xian Hall. As one of the few big gold shops in the capital city, Xian Hall was undoubtedly majestic.

Therefore, Wei Yuewu was astonished to see different sets of headgear made of red gems and opal stones in front of her. The scale of the shop was so big and it was so extravagant that Wei Yuewu felt that the owner of the shop must be from the royal family!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the owner of the shop to gain a foothold in the capital even if he earned a lot of money from the shop. She was certain that her maternal grandmother didn’t have such abilities, and her maternal grandparents’ family was not so wealthy and powerful.

“Crown Prince, this is…” Wei Yuewu raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Wen Tianyao quietly.

“Just take it as my apology for what happened to you just now.” Wen Tianyao smiled. “And thank you for the portrait!”

“Portrait?” Wei Yuewu blinked her watery eyes in confusion. “What portrait?”

“The portrait of your mother, Marquise Hua Yang!” Wen Tianyao stared at Wei Yuewu with a deep look in his eyes.

“My mother’s portrait?” Wei Yuewu seemed to have forgotten about it all of a sudden, but she immediately thought of something. “Do you mean the portrait that the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State took away?”

“What? Yan Huaijing took it away from you?” Wen Tianyao was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood. “How did he take it away?!”

“Originally, I wanted to give this portrait to Your Highness, because I had promised you before. However, I bumped into Heir-apparent of Yan. He saw the portrait and said that he would give it to you on my behalf. Since he wanted to help me by handing it over to you, I gave the portrait to him,” Wei Yuewu answered in a natural and graceful manner.

Almost the entire capital knew that Yan Huaijing had saved her life. It was actually not that strange for her painting to fall into the hands of Yan Huaijing.

Since he had saved her life, Wei Yuewu couldn’t refuse even if he wanted the painting for himself. This was why Wei Yuewu asked Yan Huaijing to give the painting to Wen Tianyao.

Compared with Wen Tianyao, It was much more justifiable for Yan Huaijing to take anything from her.

As for the Crown Prince, he was the focus of attention, and the nationwide selection of consorts was underway. Any movement, no matter how small, would immediately attract the attention of many people. Wei Yuewu did not want to have much interaction with the Crown Prince.

“So, Heir-apparent of Yan has handed the portrait over to Your Highness for me, right?” Wei Yuewu looked relieved. There was a faint smile in her watery eyes, which was totally different from her cold and aloof appearance on usual days. She looked particularly attractive and charming in such a youthful and delicate demeanor. Coupled with her elegant eyes, she was so beautiful that no one could bear to look straight into her eyes.

“Yes, he has given it to me.” After a slight pause, Wen Tianyao slowly nodded. As it turned out, Yan Huaijing didn’t accidentally slip the portrait among the other paintings. Instead, he handed it over to him after forcefully taking it from Wei Yuewu.

For some reason, he felt a suffocating feeling inside him. It was as if Yan Huaijing had spied on the thing that had originally belonged to him.

“This is my token of appreciation to you, Sixth Miss Wei.” Wen Tianyao nudged the box next to his hand and smiled gently. These were all the jewels that he had asked the waiter in the store to bring over. They told him that these jewels were all of the latest designs and styles, and the young ladies should like them very much.

“I… Thank you, Your Highness!” Wei Yuewu stood up and bowed respectfully to Wen Tianyao.

Wen Tianyao was the Crown Prince. Since he wanted to reward her with something, she couldn’t refuse. Thus, she casually chose a set of ruby headgear.

“Your Highness, why did you come here today?” Wei Yuewu raised her beautiful eyes and asked thoughtfully. The patrons of the gold shop were mostly young ladies of aristocratic families. It was quite bizarre for Wen Tianyao to come here.

“Fourth Younger Sister’s coming-of-age ceremony is around the corner. I’m here to see if they have anything new and pretty. I want to buy something as a congratulatory gift,” Wen Tianyao smiled faintly and said indifferently. Everyone knew that Fourth Princess’ coming-of-age ceremony was coming soon, and she was preparing for the grand prayer session.

“But I assume the palace will provide more trending and beautiful jewelry for Fourth Princess’ coming-of-age ceremony,” Wei Yuewu muttered in confusion.

No matter how nice the gold ornaments sold in ordinary shops in the capital were, the quality would be inferior to the ones in the palace. She couldn’t comprehend why Wen Tianyao would rather come all the way here.

“Xian Hall’s gold ornaments are newer with original designs, and their qualities are not worse than the ones in the palace. Of course, we can’t compare the values, but the styles and designs of the jewelry here are outstanding. Fourth Younger Sister likes the style of the jewelry here very much. Sixth Young Lady, why don’t you help me pick out some as my gift to Fourth Younger Sister?” Wen Tianyao casually pushed a few jewelry boxes to the front of Wei Yuewu.

“I…” Wei Yuewu was in a difficult position for a moment. The Fourth Princess was so arrogant and presumptuous that it would be hard to please her. Everything would be fine if the princess liked the jewelry, but if she didn’t, and she found out that Wei Yuewu was the one who picked the jewelry for her, the former would not let her off the hook.

“Your Highness, I actually do not know much about the style of the jewelry in the capital. I have been in the countryside all this time, so I don’t know the taste of the young ladies of aristocratic families,” Wei Yuewu softly refused.

Despite her refusal, the Crown Prince seemed to be determined to let Wei Yuewu pick the jewelry today, and he insisted. “It doesn’t matter. If Fourth Younger Sister doesn’t like them, I’ll just pick some other pieces later!”

Helpless, Wei Yuewu could only choose four sets of jewelry for the Fourth Princess. Only then did Wen Tianyao leave with a smile. Of course, he specially bought Wei Yuewu another set of jewelry to express his gratitude.

Looking at the two sets of ruby headgear on the table, Wei Yuewu was befuddled and confused. She didn’t know why Wen Tianyao picked this kind of ruby for her. Was it because she chose the red gemstones in the first place so that the Crown Prince assumed that she liked jewelry and accessories made of ruby?

“Miss, are the style and design here really so new that even Fourth Princess likes the goods here?” Huamo asked in confusion as she helped Wei Yuewu keep away the ruby headgear.

These words made Wei Yuewu’s gaze involuntarily become deep. She trembled and stopped Huamo. She stood up, picked up a set of earrings from the headgear, and observed it carefully.

This pair of earrings was exquisitely made. Three teardrop-shaped gemstones dangled from the earrings, and as they swayed, they were shining and sparkling. Indeed, they were definitely not ordinary items since even the Fourth Princess liked them.

Wei Yuewu was indeed not familiar with the new jewelry style in the capital, but she knew that the three tiny red gemstones were cut from a precious piece of ruby. The value of the earrings increased because of these three small gemstones. What was even rarer was that the six red gemstones on this pair of earrings should have been cut off from one piece of ruby.

As she shook the earrings, the color was even and radiant. They were very eye-catching!

The earrings could emphasize the wearer’s fair complexion, making a beautiful sight.

As Wei Yuewu placed the earrings on her fair palm and moved them slightly, the radiant red color of the earrings seemed to enlighten her palm, and the light was dancing naturally.

As the colors mingled together, her palm seemed fairer, and the ruby seemed as red as fire.

“Go and invite the shopkeeper over. Tell him that I want to ask about this pair of earrings!” Wei Yuewu’s gaze was fixed on the pair of earrings. This should be from the set of headgear that Wen Tianyao had given her.

The set of headgear she picked was also made of ruby, but it was not so outstanding, and the design and style were ordinary.

As the same two sets were placed together, the difference was obvious. The one Wen Tianyao had given her was apparently more expensive and exquisite.

Not long later, the shopkeeper arrived. Seeing that Wei Yuewu had an extraordinary bearing, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. “May I help you, Miss?”

“Are you the shopkeeper here?” A trace of doubt flashed through Wei Yuewu’s beautiful eyes. She was a little surprised to find that this middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing in front of her was the shopkeeper of this gold shop.

He was on the heavier side, but despite his size, he gave off a gentle and refined vibe, unlike the clumsy and lumpish demeanor that fat people usually presented. Moreover, he had an extraordinary bearing. He looked more like an amiable young master of an aristocratic family than the shopkeeper of a gold shop.

The shopkeeper was in his fifties. Unlike the other shopkeepers that Wei Yuewu had seen, he was calm and collected when hearing Wei Yuewu’s questions.

“Yes, I am the shopkeeper here. How may I help you?” The shopkeeper simply smiled at Wei Yuewu’s disbelief as if he was used to it.

“Uh… Can I add more gemstones for these earrings?” Wei Yuewu’s eyes flashed, but she did not ask any more questions. She picked up the ruby earring in her hand and asked softly.

“Do you mean you want to add more gemstones to the earrings?” The shopkeeper asked with a smile as he looked at the earrings in Wei Yuewu’s hand.

“Yes. Well, it is beautiful, but it will be more beautiful if I add a few more gemstones. Can I add two gemstones?” Wei Yuewu smiled timidly as if she was embarrassed to have such an embarrassing request.

“Uh…” The shopkeeper looked at the earrings in Wei Yuewu’s hand and then at the set of ruby headgear on the side. He was quite taken aback. “I’m afraid that we can’t do so. We cut the parts from the same ruby in order to produce this set of jewelry. It is one of the best rubies we have. I’m afraid that there is not enough to cut two more stones from it.”
