C28 I'm Not Giving You a Jade Bracelet
A hundred thousand taels, even they couldn't casually take out a hundred thousand taels. How could a direct descendant of a girl be so generous with her money?
The Queen's face sank.
"Prime Minister Shu doesn't seem to be short on money. He would even need to pay a hundred thousand silver taels for a fake jade!"
Prime Minister Shu was so scared that he kneeled on the ground:
"Please forgive me, esteemed empress. This humble subject really doesn't know what's going on. Scoundrel, quickly tell me, where did the money for the jade come from!"
In her previous life, Qin Wan'er had told her about the fake jade she bought with 100,000 silver. Shu Jing was questioned, and could only say that she bought it with the betrothal gift from the Crown Prince.
After that, not only did Gong Wushang dislike her even more, even her dowry was taken away by Madam Ning because she was afraid that she would randomly use silver coins. In the mansion, the food and drinks were equivalent to that of a servant.
Whenever she thought of the wedding day that a woman cared the most about, she would not even have a dowry. Shu Jing felt extremely uncomfortable just thinking about it. To any woman, marrying without a dowry was a huge humiliation.
In this life, she wouldn't allow Qin Wan'er to scheme against her again.
"Sister Wan'er said the betrothal gift at home is mine, so I …"
Qin Wan'er's face paled. This idiot was always telling the truth. It made her almost unable to make sense of the situation several times. She could only grit her teeth and explain:
"Wan'er only said that Uncle would definitely use those betrothal gifts as Ms Jing's dowry."
"So even though the betrothal gift hasn't become a dowry, it still belongs to me. Didn't you say that?"
Qin Wan'er was so shocked that she almost knelt down. Since when did this scarecrow become so eloquent? If it was in the past, he would have already been scared to the point of not saying anything.
She forced herself to calm down as her mind spun a hundred times. Glimmers of light flickered in her eyes as she said in a straightforward manner:
"That was just a small joke between Wan'er and Ms Jing. Who knew that you would even say such things? Wan'er and Wan'er are really …" Tears welled up in his eyes.
Many female members looked at Shu Jing with unfriendly gazes, while at the same time, they felt some sympathy for Qin Wan'er. Many female members looked unkindly at Shu Jing, and at the same time, they felt sympathy for Qin Wan'er.
Fortunately, they had already chosen to stay away from Shu Jing. Otherwise, who knew how much face they would have lost?
The empress and the others also looked at her coldly, and even Gong Wushang frowned slightly.
Shu Jing's heart trembled. Qin Wan'er was indeed not easy to deal with. She simply kneeled on the ground and pleaded.
"So Jing made a mistake again, please punish Jing, Jing has already been back home for two years, but Momo has taught too little, and has not mastered everything, only learning how to embroider the female ring." So Jing made a mistake again, please Jing, she has already returned home for two years, but Momo has not taught enough, and has only learned how to embroider the female ring, and has only learned how to read the female ring.
After Shu Jing finished her sentence, the corners of the women's mouths twitched. If they could learn so much in just two years, then it wouldn't matter if they only learned one or two skills that they weren't proficient in in in in over ten years.
There were even more people who were interested in her last sentence. The box clearly only contained jade bracelets. If it wasn't jade bracelets, then what were jade bracelets?
Lee Qianyun was the first to lose her composure and said loudly:
"You're lying. You admit that you bought a jade bracelet, but you're still quibbling."
