The beloved is reborn as a substitute, and the tyrant begs for forgiveness every night.

After he brought the table over and placed it securely, Xu Leyao picked up the bracelet and examined it carefully.

The size of the bracelet looks about the same as her wrist.

After consulting with the shopkeeper, Xu Leyao tried it on.

To be honest, this jade bracelet seemed to have been made just for her.

The moment the jade bracelet was placed on Xu Leyao's wrist, she felt that it had become even more lustrous.

People in Lubian are like the moon, and their arms are frosty and snowy.

This phrase is also fitting when applied to Xu Leyao.

Just looking at her, it would be fitting to describe her skin as smooth and creamy.

"This bracelet seems to have been made for you, Miss."

Even the shopkeeper couldn't help but praise it.

Xu Leyao remained noncommittal in the face of his praise.

These business people are always good at talking.

Even ordinary things can be described as something extraordinary and unparalleled in their mouths.

Therefore, their words are not credible.

However, Xu Leyao also has her own judgment.

The bracelet does look beautiful on her wrist.

Moreover, Xu Leyao also liked the bracelet.

Therefore, after asking the price, she immediately decided to buy it.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was even more delighted, grinning from ear to ear.

This bracelet is considered one of the store's prized possessions.

Although not as precious as the others, it is still expensive.

Moreover, jade bracelets nourish the wearer, and the wearer also nourishes the bracelet.

Now, Xu Leyao has obtained the jade bracelet so easily.

For the shopkeeper, it was both a joy to sell the shop's prized possession and a boost to Xu Leyao's status.

Afterwards, he had to give the master craftsman a proper instruction to carefully repair the hairpin.

Don't anger Xu Leyao, or it might cause trouble for the store.

Thinking this through, the shopkeeper went straight to the backyard after Xu Leyao left and specifically instructed the head chef on this matter.

After leaving, Xu Leyao did not linger on the street but went straight back to the Jiang residence.

There was nothing for her to deal with at the moment, and Xu Leyao didn't want to stay outside for long.

She needs to go back and plan carefully about what path she should take next.

After Xu Leyao left, Zheng Lingjia stood at the entrance of the jewelry store.

He looked at the shop and didn't find anything strange about it.

Moreover, this shop had already been open for a long time before Xu Leyao came to the capital.

It seems unlikely that this place belongs to Xu Leyao.

Therefore, Zheng Lingjia was able to walk in openly and legitimately.

Then he asked Baiju to find the shopkeeper.

When he went to find the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was busy in the backyard giving instructions to the head chef.

Bai Jun, with his sharp eyes, noticed the hairpin in the master chef's hand and immediately frowned.

At that moment, he didn't even bother to call the shopkeeper.

He quickly went to Zheng Lingjia's side and whispered a few words to him.

Upon hearing that Xu Leyao's hairpin had been sent to these shops by Jiang Yuwei, Zheng Lingjia immediately became anxious.

What exactly does this woman want to do?

Could it be that you intend to melt down this hairpin?

Upon realizing this possibility, Zheng Lingjia immediately became anxious.

With a cold expression and a serious face, he rushed inside.

Even the shopkeeper couldn't stop them from coming out.

When he went in, he saw the master craftsman put the hairpin into the fire.

In that instant, Zheng Lingjia felt a surge of anger.

It seems he was right.

Jiang Yuwei did indeed want to melt down the hairpin!

However, he would absolutely not allow this to happen.

Zheng Lingjia reached out, intending to fish the hairpin directly out of the fire.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper and Bai Ju reacted quickly and grabbed his wrist, which prevented him from getting injured.

However, when Zheng Lingjia saw the hairpin completely engulfed in flames, a chill spread across his face.

The way he looked at Bai Ju and the shopkeeper was as if he wanted to kill them.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but shiver, but Bai Ju hurriedly said something.

"Your Highness, this is not about ruining the hairpin. Why don't you listen to what the master craftsman has to say?"

As he spoke, Baiju quickly gave the master chef a wink.

The head chef understood as well.

The young man who came before us was a prince.

This is someone he can't afford to offend.

Therefore, the head chef hurriedly explained.

"Your Highness, this is just a repair of the hairpin, so it needs to be fired again to remove the impurities."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lingjia's expression softened slightly.

However, his suspicious gaze remained fixed on the shopkeeper and the head chef.

"Who sent you this hairpin?"

Faced with his question, the shopkeeper hurriedly recounted everything that had just happened, without omitting a single detail.

After hearing these words, Zheng Lingjia fell silent again.

His initial thought was that Jiang Yuwei wanted to melt down the hairpin in exchange for other jewelry.

Unexpectedly, she only wanted to repair the hairpin.

What are Xu Leyao's motives?

Could it be that she also knew that this hairpin was Xu Leyao's keepsake?

The thought that Jiang Yuwei might use Xu Leyao to climb the social ladder filled Zheng Lingjia with rage.

The Jiang family owed her something that they never repaid.

Now, the Jiang family's daughter is trying to climb the social ladder by using Xu Leyao, which is truly disgusting.

Seeing Zheng Lingjia's increasingly cold expression, Bai Ju quickly spoke up.

"Your Highness, you should take a look first. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding."

Having been by Zheng Lingjia's side for so long, Baiju probably understands his personality.

Judging from his expression, you can tell he's in a bad mood.

However, this is a jewelry shop outside, so we can't afford to cause any trouble and make ourselves a laughing stock.

Clearly, Zheng Lingjia understands this principle as well.

Therefore, he slightly reduced the chill emanating from his body.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, his palms were soaked with sweat, as was his back.

This prince must be the Prince Su, who doesn't usually show his face.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, we would never destroy this hairpin."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lingjia nodded slightly.

"Is he just leaving this hairpin with you, or are you going to repair it and then send it back?"

In response to his question, the shopkeeper gave an answer.

"That lady is just having her things repaired here; she'll be coming to pick it up in about two weeks."

After hearing this answer, Zheng Lingjia nodded and remained silent.

However, Zheng Lingjia was standing there motionless, which made the head chef and the shopkeeper a little uneasy.

Nobody knows what this guy is up to.

Why is he acting like this?
