C12 What Crime Should He Commit

Shu Jing was sitting in her room, holding a cup of tea. Her eyes turned cold as she watched Cui Zhu, who was wearing an emerald green misty dress with a brocade box in her hands, enter the room.

Cui Zhu arrogantly placed the box on the table. With a wry expression, she glanced over at the box, completely disregarding the sense of being a servant.

"Miss Jing, this is the brocade box that our Third Miss had specially instructed us to retrieve for you."

Cui Zhu arrogantly placed the box on the table. With a wry expression, she glanced over at the box, completely disregarding the sense of being a servant.

Only Shu Jing, from her previous life, had the face to face with him.

However, Shu Jing didn't care when she thought about how terrible it would be when Cui Zhu, with her outstanding looks, dared to lure Gong Wushang to be her concubine, but was sold to a man with a special hobby in a fit of anger from Qin Wan'er. In the end, she was tortured to the point of death and then sold back to the fireworks.

Shu Jing didn't touch the embroidered box. Instead, she smiled faintly at her beautiful face and said:

"Please thank Sister Wan'er for me, or Sister Wan'er is still worried about me."

She truly needed to thank Qin Wan'er for scheming against her so many times. Only then could she slowly grow up, see the true faces of those people, and not be fooled for the rest of her life.

Qin Wan'er said that the empress loved fine jade the most, but the empress loved embroidery the most. She had spent almost all of the betrothal gift money the crown prince had sent her to buy the jade bracelet, but Qin Wan'er had asked Cui Zhu to change it into a replica when she went to get the jade bracelet.

In her heart, Cui Zhu was extremely disdainful towards her, and replied as if it was as a matter of course:

"Of course, our Third Miss is very sincere to you. Miss Jing, you can't hurt Third Miss in the future. By the way, Third Miss would like to ask, have you prepared the small things you promised earlier?"

A little thing?

It was a treasure that would make Qin Wan'er shine tomorrow, and also one of the best in the capital later on. However, in her previous life, she really did think that the embroidery she had embroidered was unbearable to look at, and she had no idea that Qin Wan'er was giving away the 'small stuff' that Cui Zhu had come for today.

"Miss Jing, it can't be that you don't want to give it to us, right? Do you know how good our Third Miss treats you? If you go back on your word, our Third Miss will be very sad."

Seeing that she did not make any movements, Cui Zhu thought that Shu Jing did not want to give it to her.

How could she not know how important that thing was to her young lady? Even though she despised Shu Jing, she had to admit that her Alchemy and embroidery skills were outstanding.

Seeing the anxiety in her eyes, Shu Jing smiled mockingly in her heart as she stood up and said,

"Of course I'm ready. I'll go get it now."

He turned around and took out a brocade box from the dresser and placed it on the table.

"Take it and give it to Sister Wan'er."

Cui Zhu unceremoniously picked up the box and opened it, but in the end, no matter how hard she tried, she could not open it. In an instant, her face turned ugly:

"Miss Jing, are you trying to fool a servant? This box can't be opened at all."

It was fortunate that her young miss had instructed her to personally check if all the items were complete. After all, this was related to her winning the prize tomorrow. Otherwise, if she brought the box back and found out that it couldn't be opened, she wouldn't be able to bear the blame of her young miss.

Thinking up to this point, she looked at Shu Jing with an even more unhappy expression.

However, Shu Jing was even angrier as she slammed the table:

"Cui Zhu, what crime should you take?!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but her aura was exceptionally frightening. Cui Zhu almost subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground.

When she finally reacted, she stared at Shu Jing in disbelief. She was scared by a straw bag?

How could he be convinced? He raised his chin and spoke arrogantly:

"Miss Jing, what is the meaning of this? How could Cui Zhu displease you? You just punish me, I will not hesitate."
