Chapter 225 What Level, What Virtue and Ability
Ji Chuhe nodded with satisfaction, turned around and called to Mianzhu, "Mianzhu, bring me the things I prepared for Aunt Dong."
"Yes, ma'am." Mianzhu went to get it immediately.
"Madam, I am able to be by your side. Everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation is excellent. It is my honor to share your worries. Otherwise, I would be very worried! Madam, you don't have to...reward me again..." Dong Ling's voice faltered.
Her eyes were fixed on the dressing box that Mianzhu was holding.
"Madam...this...I..." Dong Ling wanted to refuse, but his hand had already touched it involuntarily.
After struggling for a while, she completely gave up the dignity she had tried so hard to maintain!
Such blinding wealth!
This colorful gem bracelet, these earrings, this necklace...
Dong Ling grabbed the dressing box. It was so heavy!
She almost lost her grip and fell down, but luckily Mianzhu was quick to catch her.
"Auntie Dong, let me hold this for you first. Madam specially asked someone to go to the best jewelry store in the capital to buy it for you. Everything is top quality."
Although Dong Ling had never seen much of the world, she could tell from her brain that this jewelry shop in the imperial capital must be frequented by high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
She is just a lowly concubine, doesn't she know her own status?
How can you be so virtuous!
If I could own a set of jewelry made by a jewelry shop frequented by the nobles in the imperial capital, I would wake up smiling in my dreams.
"Thank you, Madam, for loving me!" Dong Ling looked at Ji Chuhe with red eyes and gratitude.
"The dressing box I gave you last time in Huaiyang is a bit old, so I was thinking about when to get you a new one." Ji Chuhe smiled and touched Dong Ling's belly. The baby immediately responded to her, kicking its legs happily.
Ji Chuhe's gaze softened involuntarily.
"Dong Ling, not only are you smart and thoughtful, but you also raised the child so well. You have made a great contribution. Once the child is born, I will make you my concubine." Ji Chuhe promised softly.
When Dong Ling heard this, he was ready to kneel down despite his heavy body.
"Madam, I will always remember your kindness to me! I am willing to follow you all my life. If I am unfaithful in the slightest, I will die a miserable death!"
Ji Chuhe helped Dong Ling up, "Get up, be careful not to get hurt."
After Dong Ling asked her maid to carry the dressing box back to her room, she immediately looked in the mirror happily and tried each one.
However, she didn't dare to show off.
She only wears her favorite gemstone bracelet on her wrist. As long as she doesn't show off, it can be completely covered by her sleeves and nothing can be seen. If she doesn't wear anything, she will be really uncomfortable!
This bracelet is made of pure gold and is inlaid with five teardrop-shaped gemstones, one each in red, blue, yellow, green and pink.
Such fancy colors are combined together, not only does it not look messy at all, but it actually has a harmonious and luxurious beauty!
Madam’s vision is different!
She loves it so much!
Dong Ling admired it alone for a while, thinking about getting down to business.
I will go find Xu Yan'er right away. I have my own way to let Xu Yan'er know why she can't expose Liao Yunfei's thoughts!
If I don't point out the truth to this stupid fool Xu Yan'er, she will definitely make trouble again!
Xu Yan'er heard footsteps and looked up.
When he saw it was Dong Ling, he tidied his appearance awkwardly.
Dong Ling directly took a bronze mirror and put it on Xu Yan'er's face.
"Dong Ling, what are you doing!"
"Take good care of Aunt Xu, or she will lose her balance."
"Dong Ling, don't think you can show off in front of me just because you are pregnant!" Xu Yan'er snatched the mirror angrily.
"Hmph." Dong Ling snorted coldly, his eyes full of mockery.
"I knew you had no good intentions. You came here to laugh at me, right?" Xu Yan'er asked with a cold face.
"I've seen so many of your jokes that they're no longer new to me. But this time, I really think you're as stupid as a pig! You fell into Liao Yunfei's trap and you don't even know it."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand? Go by yourself if you want to!" Dong Ling turned and left.
Xu Yan'er immediately stopped Dong Ling and said, "Speak clearly."
"What does it have to do with me? Why should I help you?" Dong Ling saw that the provocation worked, so he crossed his arms and looked at Xu Yan'er jokingly.
This is the only way to deal with Xu Yan'er!
Even if you talk to her kindly, she won't listen.
"We are both the prince's concubines. Madam has also said that our every word and action represents the reputation of the palace. If I make any mistakes, won't you lose face?" Xu Yan'er racked her brains to coax Dong Ling.
She knew that Dong Ling was highly valued by Ji Chuhe, and Ji Chuhe must have taught Dong Ling many things behind her back. However, no one gave her any advice, and she got into trouble after coming to the imperial capital!
"I can tell you, but you need to show some sincerity."
"What sincerity?" Xu Yan'er asked.
"Ten taels!" Dong Ling stretched out his hand.
"What? Ten taels! You might as well go and rob it!" Xu Yan'er was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her fur immediately stood up!
"Forget it." Dong Ling was about to leave again, and added, "You might lose your life and property if this goes wrong. I want ten taels from you, but you think it's too much."
Xu Yan'er looked at Dong Ling's back and gritted her teeth, "Okay, I'll give it to you!"
Dong Ling stopped and turned around, "Take the silver first and then talk."
Xu Yan'er bit her gums and swallowed the blood, then she took out nearly ten taels of silver from several places in the house.
Dong Ling used her fingers to pick at the silver pieces on the table. "Do these add up to ten taels?"
"Do you want me to lend you a scale to weigh yourself?" Xu Yan'er rolled her eyes at Dong Ling.
"That's not necessary. Since we are both aunts, I'll accept a less amount." Dong Ling opened her purse and threw the silver pieces into it one by one.
The sound of the silver blocks colliding sounded very beautiful to Dong Ling's ears.
But when it reached Xu Yaner's ears, it was like a sledgehammer hitting her heart!
After collecting the money, Dong Ling looked up at Xu Yan'er, "Aunt Xu, you are so confused! Liao Yunfei is using you! You are the only one who can't tell the difference! You even quarreled with the prince and contradicted the mistress! You can't even tell the difference between me and the enemy!"
It cost ten taels of silver, and Xu Yan'er listened very carefully.
As soon as Dong Ling finished her analysis, Xu Yan'er slapped her thigh!
"I see! Why didn't I think of this at first!"
This time, Xu Yan'er finally understood why she couldn't say that Liao Yunfei fell in love with the prince.
The madam is right, and the prince is also right.
But, she was not wrong!
She is anxious.
She cannot lose the prince's love. She has nothing but the prince's love.
Dong Ling finally completed the task and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have wronged the prince! The prince still loves me! It is impossible for him to fall in love with Liao Yunfei, even if Liao Yunfei takes the initiative to seduce him!"
Dong Ling: ...
