Chapter 319 - 319 319 Suffering Wife vs. Homewrecker (5)

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Suffering Wife vs. Homewrecker (5) Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Suffering Wife vs. Homewrecker (5) Gu Shengyin’s heart stirred, and she slowly walked over to where Zhang Mingshu had been looking at bracelets earlier.

“Bring this one out for me to have a look,” she said softly, her voice enchanting, drawing the gaze of Zhang Mingshu from not far away.

The bracelet Gu Shengyin was referring to was indeed the mutton-fat white jade bracelet that Zhang Mingshu had purchased earlier.

Because Gu Shengyin wore a veil that obscured her face, the shop assistant couldn’t see her appearance. However, merely from her clothing, which was simple yet each piece exceptionally exquisite—especially the jade clasp at her waist—the assistant was certain she was a lady of status.

He dutifully brought out the mutton-fat jade bracelet.

Then, everyone saw the young lady extend her hands that had been hidden in her sleeves until now.

Liang Chenyu was naturally blessed with unspeakably beautiful features, but what was even more breathtaking than her face was her fair, flawless complexion, which seemed to put frost and snow to shame.

So when she stretched out her hand next to the bracelet,

The bracelet was still the same bracelet, yet everyone felt as if it had changed.

Not white enough, not transparent enough, not flawless enough. In short, it wasn’t worthy of those noble hands.

Even the assistant felt an impulse to stop this customer from putting on the bracelet—it seemed as if the bracelet, worn on those hands, would be like a blemish standing out in an expanse of flawless snow.

Sure enough, Gu Shengyin picked up the bracelet and after inspecting it, gently shook her head, “This bracelet’s quality isn’t that great. Shopkeeper, do you have anything better?”

The assistant inwardly lamented—this mutton-fat white jade bracelet was already one of the superior grade items in their shop. Clearly, it was the customer’s skin that was too exquisite and flawless, and it made the bracelet’s quality seem inadequate.

The assistant, who wasn’t well-educated, couldn’t think of more praise to describe her.

Seeing Zhang Mingshu’s clearly displeased face, Gu Shengyin felt that her effect of ‘slapping the face’ had been achieved.

When she saw the assistant’s hesitation, she smiled, “Never mind, I was just asking casually. You can go back to your duties; I’ll continue looking by myself.”

At this time, Zhang Mingshu had already walked toward the carriage, where a young man in a blue robe appeared to have just alighted. By the time Gu Shengyin looked over, she only saw a back view, and then Zhang Mingshu entered the carriage and the curtain was drawn.

In the meantime, two Madams standing not far from them started talking.

One of them, clad in a treasure blue gown, said with confusion, “I think that person looked like the Crown Prince of Zhenbei?”

The lady beside her nodded, “That’s right.”

The first Madam with doubts queried, “Wasn’t the Crown Prince of Zhenbei betrothed already? Could the lady who just got on the carriage be from Grand Tutor Liang’s Residence?”

The other Madam laughed, “How could that be possible? Grand Tutor Liang’s Residence is famously upright in its family teachings. How could Miss Liang casually get into someone else’s carriage?” Her tone suddenly became mockingly, “Men, you know, who doesn’t have a few close female friends?”

Anger flashed across the face of the Madam in the treasure blue dress, but finally, it turned into a sigh, “It’s such a pity, the daughters in Grand Tutor Liang’s Blessed Residence are all so good, to think that…”

Liang Linyu, who had overheard their conversation, had already turned deathly pale.

“Big sister, are they talking about the Crown Prince of Zhenbei?” Liang Linyu asked Gu Shengyin, incredulous.

Gu Shengyin’s expression was not very good either.

“I’m going to ask him!” Liang Linyu was young and doted on by her family, so at this moment, she could only think of the most straightforward approach.

Gu Shengyin quickly held her back. Such an action would certainly disgrace the Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion, and it would also ruin Liang Chenyu’s reputation.

“Let’s go back and tell Grandmother, and wait for her to decide,” she said.
