February 14th.
When she returned from the Zheng Medical Hall to the Liang Residence, she found Huangfu Lingyao sitting in her room as usual.
Liu Shimci did not bring the jade token Zhong Lang gave her. Instead, she placed it in the jewelry box.
In her eyes, it was not anything particularly important. It was just a pile of jewelry. Who would have thought…
When she was changing her clothes, this dog stopped playing with Little Mute and fiddled with something in front of her dressing table. When she came out after changing her clothes, she saw him holding the small jade token with a puzzled expression and asking, “Wife, what is this?”
There were so many things, but he was only curious about this one! He was ignorant, but it made people feel that he was asking seriously. This matter was very important!
Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and walked forward. She took the jade token from his hand and put it back into the jewelry box.
She picked out a jade pendant from the jewelry box and handed it to him, saying, “It’s just a jade token. This is something someone left with me. I can’t let you play with it. If you want it, I’ll give it to you.”
Compared to Zhong Lang’s small jade token, the jade pendant she gave him was much better in terms of quality and carving. It was also more beautiful and translucent, belonging to the top grade of jade.
The Liang family was willing to give her any treasure. Seventh Uncle, Aunt, Ninth Brother, and seven younger brothers, each of them giving her a gift was enough to knock her out.
She casually took one and gave it to Huangfu Lingyao. It was the best.
Mo’er saw this from the side and could not help but mutter, “Eldest Miss, this jade pendant is the best one in your makeup basket. First Madam gave it to you to wear!”
Mo’er’s heart ached when she saw her Master giving the best thing to a fool!
Huangfu Lingyao rummaged through Liu Shimei’s makeup basket again. He did need a few more jade pendants, but there was nothing better than what he had.
His face did not show it, and he lowered his eyes to hide the thoughts in his eyes.
Liu Shimei did not feel any pity for him. She took the jade pendant from his hand and took out the scissors.
A pair of scissors cut off the original tassel.
“The pink tassel made from this jade pendant doesn’t suit you very well. Give it to me first. I’ll take off the tassel and make a new color that suits you.”
She rummaged through the black tassel rope and weaved a new palace sash.
Seeing that she was going to gift it to him no matter what, Mo’er had no choice but to say, “I’ll bring you dinner.”
Huangfu Lingyao naturally did not take Mo’er seriously. He stared at Liu Shimei’s nimble hands, swept his gaze across her scarred side profile, and then landed on the small jade tablet in the makeup box.
When he turned around, he had a silly smile on his face. “Wife, keep the good stuff for yourself. Just give me the small one!”
“That was left with me by someone else. I still have to return it in the future.” Liu Shimei was focused on weaving and did not look up at him.
However, there was no change of emotion on her face. From a certain perspective, it also expressed her firm attitude: First, it was a gift from someone else and could not be given to you. Secondly, this item was not important.
“Whose is it?” Huangfu Lingyao took a deep look at her. His handsome face was casual. His eyes were still fixed on the jade token, and his fingers were crawling over there bit by bit.
When Liu Shimei was not paying attention, he took the jade token and played with it in his hand. His long eyelashes covered his eyes, hiding his deep thoughts.
Apart from the fact that the jade quality was not bad, there was nothing special about this small jade token.
Except for the lines carved on it!
He rubbed his thumb against the lines and looked at Liu Shimei. He asked with a puzzled expression, “Wife, what pattern is this? Why haven’t I seen it before?”
Perhaps children were very curious. If she did not explain it to him clearly, he would not be able to sit still. Liu Shimei sighed helplessly.
She raised her head and took the jade token again. She thought, ‘Zhong Lang didn’t say that this thing could not be given to others. He only said that it was for me… Can I give it to the silly dog?’
This thought lingered in her mind for a while before she made a decision. “Forget it. Since you like this so much, I’ll let you play with it first. But you have to promise me that you can’t lose it!”
As expected, when she said she wanted to give it to him, the silly dog said he did not want it!
