Chapter 962 - 964: Generous Gift (5)
However, despite their resentment, they knew that the Girl’s social status was not what it used to be. Had they known a day earlier that she was to become the Wife of King Qin, they would not have dared to act so presumptuously in her presence yesterday. From now on, they would have no choice but to be careful and speak kindly to her!
Lady Li’s feelings at this moment were extremely complicated. Although she was happy that in the future she could benefit from the glory of these two nieces, she also felt saddened by the disappearance of her own daughter. In her eyes, the two girls from the Second room were not even worthy of picking up the shoes for her Ping’er, yet one of them was about to become the Wife of King Qin and the other was to marry into Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, eventually becoming Duke Li Guo’s wife. It was all too unfair. If her Ping’er were here, she definitely would not let these two seductive foxes have their way!
Nevertheless, it didn’t matter. Once Ping’er was found, she would have her mingle with these two lucky little b*tches, and she believed that, with Ping’er’s intelligence and transparency, she would surely be able to snatch one of their men!
Mu Chongcai and Mu Chongfu were extremely envious, especially when they saw the Old Madame wave her hand and a maid present a gilded Jewelry Box. The eyes of the two brothers lit up.
The Old Madame opened the Jewelry Box, revealing a treasure trove of the latest jewelry, gold, jade, round, flat, inlaid with gold, dotted with kingfisher feathers, filling the entire box.
"Good Children, take it. This is a little token from your grandmother, your grandaunts, and your sister-in-law. We did not know what you would like, so we got a piece of every new exquisite piece from Masterpiece Building for you to wear. From now on, you are going to be part of the royal family, and you must dress the part!"
Upon seeing this, Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du quickly declined, "Old Madame, this is not appropriate, it’s too valuable, we really can’t accept it!"
The Old Madame took the box back and stuffed it into Cai Wei’s arms, saying, "This is for my granddaughter-in-law. What’s this about appropriate or not? Are you saying that the in-laws are too stingy to accept it?"
"No, not at all!" Mu Zhongqing and his wife shook their hands continuously, no longer daring to object.
