Chapter 307: Doing It for Her (1)

Jing Chuchu and Shen Miao went out together, but Shen Miao returned alone. It seemed that their going out did not attract much attention in the Shen family. However, that night, Shen Miao surprisingly went to Old Madam’s courtyard, wanting to talk to Jing Chuchu.

Jing Chuchu was fiddling with the jewelry on the table. Among the jewelry, there was a jade bracelet that was especially dazzling. The color was so translucent that it was almost transparent, and the entire jade looked extremely good. This jade bracelet cost at least a hundred taels of silver. Jing Chuchu definitely could not afford it herself. When Shen Miao was in the Treasure Pavilion yesterday, she bought some jewelry for Jing Chuchu, but this jade bracelet was not among them.

As soon as Shen Miao entered the room, she stared at the jade bracelet. Jing Chuchu was shocked and quickly put it into the box. Shen Miao smiled and said, “Cousin, that jade bracelet looks very rare.”

Jing Chuchu asked softly, “Fifth Sister, do you know about this bracelet?”

“I’ve seen a similar imported one before, but the quality is not as good as yours. Even so, it was sold for 500 taels of silver. I think this one of yours is probably worth 1,000 taels of silver,” Shen Miao said casually. Although this jade bracelet was precious, it was not worth 1,000 taels of silver. There were many better jewelry that could be bought with 1,000 taels of silver. However, with Jing Chuchu’s knowledge, she would definitely believe it.

“But Cousin, where did you get such a precious bracelet?” Shen Miao asked, “I’ve never seen you wear it before.”

“It’s… a gift from a friend,” Jing Chuchu said in a low voice.

A trace of understanding flashed across Shen Miao’s eyes. Sun Cainan didn’t just rely on his good looks and sweet nothings to make women happy. He was also willing to spend money. Otherwise, Jing Chuchu, who was already the wife of a deputy general in her previous life, wouldn’t have cheated. It was the first time they met, but Sun Cainan already sent her an expensive gift. It was hard for someone as ignorant as Jing Chuchu to not be tempted.

“It seems like this friend of yours must be very good to you,” Shen Miao said.

Jing Chuchu blushed and looked at Shen Miao. “Fifth Sister, why are you here?”

Shen Miao slowly tidied her clothes and said, “I heard that you were sent back by someone today?”

“I-I met a kind-hearted young master.” Jing Chuchu said nervously, “He did it out of kindness, so I didn’t want to decline the offer, but nothing happened between us.”

“Cousin, don’t be nervous.” Shen Miao smiled. “Cousin, do you know who that person is?”

Jing Chuchu was stunned. “Who is it?”

“He’s the only son of the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Lord Sun Cainan,” Shen Miao said.

Jing Chuchu looked at Shen Miao with surprise written across her face.

Shen Miao sneered in her heart. Sun Tianzheng was very strict with Sun Cainan. Sun Cainan hung out with women all the time, but he rarely revealed his identity unless he took that girl in as a concubine. Jing Chuchu probably did not reveal her true identity either. Jing Chuchu probably thought that Sun Cainan was just a young master of a rich family. Now that she knew Sun Cainan’s true identity, Jing Chuchu naturally wanted to use him to climb up the social ladder.

“Cousin, you also know that the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs is a very important position.” Shen Miao smiled and said, “Their mansion is not inferior to ours. Most importantly, Lord Sun only has Young Master Sun as his heir. For someone of his status to send you back to the mansion, could it be that…” Shen Miao said casually, “He likes you?”

“Fifth Sister, don’t spout nonsense,” Jing Chuchu quickly retorted. However, her face quickly turned red, and her eyes lit up. Clearly, Shen Miao’s words still made her happy. She said in a low voice, “There is nothing between Young Master Sun and me.”
