Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 70: Giving to others, outdone?
Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Giving to others, outdone?
She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she didn’t know what to say.
The thoughts and considerations of this child were indeed surprising, even admirable.
"...Good."
After a long pause, she finally uttered the word "good," as if in a sigh, and after speaking, she looked at Shang Ruyi and said repeatedly, "Very good."
This time, she no longer concealed the delight and appreciation in her eyes, and after smilingly watching Shang Ruyi for a while, she turned and said to Jinyun, "Go and bring that box."
Jinyun immediately responded, "Yes."
She turned and walked into the inner room, and after a short while, she came out holding an exquisitely carved rosewood box and placed it in front of Guan Yunmu.
Guan Yunmu opened the box, revealing various gold and silver jewelry, dazzling and mesmerizing.
Shang Ruyi understood that this was her meeting gift.
But Guan Yunmu, after glancing at those items, did not pick up any of them. Instead, she picked up an object wrapped in a handkerchief and gently opened it. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
A jade token the size of an egg lay quietly in the center of the cloth.
Her gaze turned heavy and gentle, and her slender, pale fingers gently caressed the jade token before, with a hint of reluctance, slowly handing it to Shang Ruyi.
"This is for you."
Upon closer inspection, Shang Ruyi saw that the jade token was carved from exquisite mutton fat jade, its translucent, warm luster imbued with a certain vitality, and in the center of the token was engraved the character "Guan."
This is——
Guan Yunmu said, "This is my family name token."
"..."
"The daughters of our official family have such a token from birth. If they ever need help, they can show this token to the head of the family and receive full assistance from the family."
"..."
"Now, I’m giving this to you, as a meeting gift from me, your mother-in-law."
Upon hearing the use of the token, Shang Ruyi hurriedly stood up and said, "Mother, I absolutely cannot accept this."
If it were other valuable items, she, as a daughter-in-law, would dare to accept, but this was the official family’s name token, carrying great significance; how could she dare to accept it?
Seeing the situation, Jinyun smiled and said, "Young Madam, you should accept it."
"..."
"Actually, the lady originally prepared those jewelry pieces, but by giving you this, it truly shows how much she values you, Young Madam."
"..."
"If you don’t accept it, wouldn’t you be letting down the lady?"
Upon hearing these words and looking at Guan Yunmu, Shang Ruyi bit her lip, finally saying, "Then, I shall be bold."
With that, she cautiously accepted the name token.
Guan Yunmu’s face showed a comforting smile.
And after smiling, she turned and playfully glared at Jinyun, saying, "You’re something, saying everything out loud. Now I can’t even keep this box of jewelry."
With that, she pushed the jewelry box towards Shang Ruyi.
Shang Ruyi declined, saying, "Mother, this is unnecessary."
"Accept it,"
Guan Yunmu said with a smile, looking at her, "I’ve noticed you’ve always been so plain these days. Although we, the children of the gate valve, don’t need to rely on jewelry to show confidence, you are, after all, the Young Madam of the Duke Mansion, and you can’t be seen as inferior when out."
"..."
"In the future, when you go out with Ye’er, you must not be outshone by others."
Hearing these words, Shang Ruyi felt a sudden pang in her heart.
Outshone by others?
Does that mean, by Yu Wenye’s side, she would need to compare herself with others?
