Chapter 1429: Chapter 1426 Liu Jiayun

Ye Muyu herself didn’t have much preference; she only picked some delicate headpieces, prioritizing light ones.

She also selected two bracelets and a Jade Bodhisattva.

It is said that jade nourishes people.

She prepared jade accessories for Nuanbao, Chu Heng, and Lil’ Jin. For herself and Chu Ziluo, since they had to attend banquets, various kinds of jewelry were also essential.

But the jade Buddha worn by Chu Ziluo was acquired from the Buddhist Light Temple and had been consecrated, matching the one worn by Ye Muyu.

“Miss Liu, Miss Li, please come this way.”

A voice sounded from outside the door.

The waiter brought the two young misses upstairs, followed by their attendant maidservants.

Chu Ziluo turned her head and saw Li Chun’er. She felt a certain affinity and greeted with a smile, “Hello, Miss Li.”

“Ah, it’s Miss Chu.” Li Chun’er, fourteen this year, already engaged, had felt indifferent towards Chu Ziluo previously. It was only after the banquet that she discovered Chu Ziluo had exposed the maidservant’s identity, causing Aunt to lose face. Though the third household benefited, they were reprimanded by Grandmother for inadequate supervision.

Especially since her mother was punished with three months of house arrest. Every day she listened to her mother express displeasure with the Chu family, feeling that Chu Ziluo’s tactlessness led to her mother’s suffering.

Thus, seeing Chu Ziluo now, her face instantly darkened.

“I wondered who it was; turns out it’s Young Miss Chu.” Li Chun’er pouted, her attitude was unpleasant.

Chu Ziluo didn’t mind, with a gentle smile on her face, she said, “Miss Li, are you also here to look at jewelry?”

“I’m here with my mother to select jewelry too, would you like to look together?”

Miss Liu instinctively glanced at Chu Ziluo, initially feeling that Miss Chu had such a good temperament, but seeing Chun’er’s apparent dislike for her.

Li Chun’er didn’t expect Ye Muyu to be present and felt a trace of embarrassment, bullying Chu Ziluo in front of Madam Chu. If the latter got angry, wouldn’t she be in trouble?

“Greetings, Madam.” Li Chun’er reluctantly spoke, but dared not be presumptuous before Ye Muyu, as Lord Chu was highly protective.

Miss Liu also quickly greeted.

Ye Muyu naturally couldn’t bear to see Li Chun’er bullying Chu Ziluo.

With a smile, she said, “Previously, Lady Li sent a nice headpiece to Ziluo, and I’ve been looking for an opportunity to return the favor to Miss Li. Now that we’ve met, what does Miss Li like?”

Li Chun’er was somewhat surprised; she indeed heard her mother lament the wasted good headpiece given to Chu Ziluo.

She also felt distressed.

Who knew, today Madam Chu would return the headpiece?

Li Chun’er recalled the headpiece she saw before, which she hadn’t been willing to buy, instantly forgetting Lady Li’s warnings, revealing a childish smile, “Thank you, Madam Chu.”

She then turned to the waiter beside her and asked, “Is the gold-thread eight treasures pearl headpiece I saw earlier still available?”

The waiter responded warmly, “Yes, Miss Li, it is. I’ll bring it over right away.”

Li Chun’er felt delighted, as this headpiece was much more precious than the one her mother had given to Chu Ziluo. She felt she got the better deal, her face beaming with joy, unable to stop smiling.

Miss Liu felt that this didn’t seem quite right; if Li Chun’er accepted the headpiece, it would sever the interpersonal rapport between the Li family and the Chu family.

However, Duke Qing holds a first-rank duchy.

Lord Chu is only a third-grade official; it seems the Li family doesn’t need to maintain good relations with the Chu family.

The Liu family is just a fourth-rank official family.
