"This Madam Shen is so unreasonable!"

Even after returning home, Wangshu, who had been holding it in all the way, was still puffed up with anger. She and Fu Guang were standing outside the box at the time, so she naturally heard a rough idea of ​​what happened. If Fu Guang hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed in and scolded Madam Shen.

"Which family would be overjoyed if the princess married into one? Besides, the Shen family is nothing in this city full of nobles. Now she is marrying up to the Shen family and is even making a fuss about it! This is simply bullying!"

Even Fu Guang, who was usually calm and composed, had a hint of anger on his face.

"It's Mr. Shen's blessing that the princess likes him, but Mrs. Shen is a bit confused. If the princess really enters the Shen Mansion and faces Mrs. Shen all day long, there's no guarantee that she won't act dirty!"

Zhu Qing'an was lying on the couch, also having a severe headache. He really didn't expect that Shen Shixin's mother would be so confused. The most troublesome thing was that this person was his future mother-in-law.

"Forget it, I'm not living with her after all. This was done by Mrs. Shen on her own!" Zhu Qing'an couldn't help but make excuses for Shen Shixin.

If it were in the past, Fu Guang and Wang Shu would not have had any other thoughts after hearing this, but now after hearing this, Wang Shu stomped his feet in anxiety.

"My dear princess, Master Shen is a well-known filial son. Even if you don't know about it this time, what about in the future? You must not let yourself down!"

Zhu Qing'an thought that the matter was over, so he took his second sister Zhu Baiwei to buy jewelry the next day.

Linglong Pavilion is the most famous gold and jade jewelry store in Ancheng. The jewelry in the pavilion is not only diverse and exquisite, but also precious and rare, and is quite popular among the noble ladies of Ancheng.

"Eldest sister, I don't need these!" Zhu Baiwei looked at the shelves filled with a dazzling array of various pearl hairpins. Although a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes, she still tugged at her elder sister's sleeve.

There will be a banquet in a few days, and Zhu Baiwei will also attend. Zhu Qing'an saw that his second sister's jewelry was too rare, so he directly brought her to Linglong Pavilion.

"Pearl hairpins are absolutely necessary for girls. You are grown up now. You will attend so many banquets in the future. How can you do without some jewelry and clothes?" Zhu Qing'an pulled his second sister to start choosing without hesitation.

Previously, because Zhu Baiwei was still young and a concubine's daughter, she rarely received invitations. Now that she values ​​her younger siblings, she naturally received invitations to invite Zhu Baiwei to attend the banquet.

"This black jade butterfly hairpin is nice, and this magnolia white jade hairpin is also nice..." Zhu Qingan took the jewelry handed over by the waiter and tried them on his second sister's bun one by one.

Zhu Baiwei was so panicked that she didn't know where to put her hands. She had never seen such a scene before. This was even her first time entering Linglong Pavilion.

In the past, she had always remembered her duties as a concubine's daughter and never overstepped her bounds. Furthermore, a concubine's money was limited, and she couldn't afford such things. Fortunately, her eldest sister had also gifted her with a good deal of jewelry, so she wasn't so shabby.

"Which one do you like?" Zhu Qing'an tried many and felt that they were all good, but he still wanted to ask his second sister's opinion.

Zhu Baiwei picked out the cheapest pearl earrings that looked plain and simple. "This one, it's pretty!"

She knew that her eldest sister was wealthy. Not only did she receive a generous monthly salary, she also had a lot of private property. Her father never controlled her spending, and the empress dowager gave her money every few days. Moreover, as a princess, her eldest sister also had a salary. But Zhu Baiwei never thought that her eldest sister should buy these things for her.

"This? It looks good, but it's a little too plain. It's okay to wear it at home on weekdays, but it's not suitable when you go out to visit guests!" Zhu Qing'an took a closer look and could see that his second sister was saving money for him.

To be frank, she really has no shortage of money.

"Shopkeeper, buy all the jewelry my second sister just tried on!" Zhu Qing'an waved his hand and said, since he couldn't make up his mind, he would just buy them all.

"Okay, Princess, please wait a moment!" The shopkeeper happily went to take the jewelry, and Zhu Baiwei was waving her hands.

"Eldest sister, there are too many. I can't wear them all. I really don't need so many!"

"Just keep it. I'm your eldest sister. It's nothing for me to buy some jewelry for my younger sister! We'll go buy some pens and ink for my third brother later!" Zhu Qing'an held her second sister's hand.

Zhu Baiwei looked at her elder sister beside her. Although her elder sister's shoulders were not that broad and her hands were very slender, she had the illusion that they were enough to protect them from wind and rain.

Wangshu paid the silver, Fuguang carried the wrapped jewelry, and Zhu Qing'an was about to continue taking his second sister shopping when he saw Shen Shixin walking towards Linglong Pavilion.

The two faced each other, but there seemed to be something more in their eyes.

"Princess!" Shen Shixin bowed slightly.

Today, Shen Shixin was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with a tall and graceful figure, a picturesque face, and a calm temperament.

"Mr. Shen!" Zhu Qing'an returned the salute, and Zhu Baiwei beside him also saluted and secretly looked at Shen Shixin.

Zhu Baiwei knew that her elder sister's fiancé was Mr. Shen from the Shen family. Now that she saw him, she found that he was indeed handsome and a good match for her elder sister.

Shen Shixin looked at Zhu Qingan, who was dressed up, but there was no surprise in his eyes as before. Instead, he was filled with annoyance.

Today, Zhu Qingan wore a long blue dress with elegant chrysanthemums embroidered on the cuffs, and a pair of jade bracelets on her fair wrists. She had light makeup on, but she was charming enough.

"Mr. Shen, are you here at Linglong Pavilion to buy jewelry?" Zhu Qing'an asked with a faint smile. Even though she still felt a little uncomfortable because of Shen's mother, she softened her heart when she saw Shen Shixin.

Shen Shixin looked at the charm in Zhu Qing'an's eyes and finally did not continue to be stubborn.

"Well, Princess, are you free? If you are, why don't you help me choose?" Shen Shixin asked with a gentle expression.

"Of course!" Zhu Qing'an took his second sister's hand and returned to Linglong Pavilion again.

"I wonder what style Mr. Shen wants to choose? And for what age group?" Zhu Qing'an asked.

"I want something with a more beautiful style, about the same age as the princess!" said Shen Shixin.

Zhu Qing'an nodded, and then began to choose carefully. However, Zhu Baiwei beside her looked at Shen Shixin who was standing on the other side choosing jewelry, and pulled her elder sister's sleeve.

"Sister, did Mr. Shen choose it for you?" Zhu Baiwei teased.

Zhu Qing'an was slightly stunned, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, as far as she knew, Shen Shixin also had cousins. Although there were no beautiful women around him, it didn't mean that the gift was given to her.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhu Qing'an held a crystal fan-shaped hairpin, with a bit of girlish shyness in her expression.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Master Shen said that the girl is about the same age as my elder sister, and my elder sister Ancheng is beautiful. Master Shen even asked my elder sister to help choose, and he wasn't afraid that my elder sister would be jealous. If it's not for my elder sister, then who else could it be for?" Zhu Baiwei smiled sweetly.

Zhu Qing'an looked at Shen Shixin who was carefully choosing jewelry on the other side, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

Yes, is it a gift for yourself?
