The rumors in the city hadn't reached Qin Yining's ears yet.
At this time, she was accompanying the Sun Clan to the jewelry store to choose a head ornament.
"Mother, at my age, I don't need such expensive head ornaments. If I wear them, I won't look good."
Qin Yining pushed a brocade box covered with red velvet to the Sun Clan. In the box, there were sixty-four pieces of exquisite gold thread jewelry inlaid with rubies. From the large pieces to the small pieces of earrings and rings, each piece was exquisite and detailed. They shone dazzlingly under the sunlight and were very luxurious.
"I think it's just right for Mother to use it." Qin Yining took a ruby hairpin with a golden bead tassel and compared it with the Sun Clan's hair bun. She said with a smile, "It's really good. Mother's children are fair and clean. This ruby suits Mother's skin color. Moreover, Mother's status can also support such gorgeous jewelry."
"Why would I need to wear these?" The Sun Clan's lips curled up at her daughter's praise. She put the tassel hairpin back into the box.
"I want to take advantage of this moment to choose a set of good head ornaments for your dowry in the future. On the way here, we threw away almost all of our valuables. We didn't prepare any decent head ornaments for you earlier.
"Your father said that he plans to hold your coming-of-age ceremony this year. After that, he will discuss marriage. It's not a bad idea to choose a head ornament for your dowry in advance."
Qin Yining blushed at the Sun Clan's words. Inexplicably, the image of Pang Xiao wearing a red python robe appeared in her mind.
However, when she heard the Sun Clan say "discuss marriage," she felt a little nervous.
As a woman, she naturally had to listen to her parents and matchmakers for important matters such as marriage.
However, her relationship with Pang Xiao was already so close, but she might not be able to obtain the approval of old madam and her mother. After all, they didn't know any inside information.
If she couldn't marry Pang Xiao in the end, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
However, after thinking about it, Qin Yining put down her worries.
Because her relationship with Pang Xiao was approved by Qin Huaiyuan. Whether it was the old madam or the Sun Clan, they had to ask Qin Huaiyuan in the end if they wanted to discuss her marriage.
At this moment, Qin Yining was really glad that his father was open-minded.
In the end, the Sun Clan still had the heart of a loving mother. They used their own money to buy the noodle. The price of this set of head ornaments was enough for an ordinary wealthy family to marry a daughter.
"When you go back, hide this first. Don't let old madam and the other sisters see it. Right now, the family is living a tight life. If they know that I use so much money, even if it's my personal belongings, they will talk about it."
"Mother, I understand." Qin Yining couldn't help but smile.
The Sun Clan member pinched Qin Yining's cheek and said, "Don't laugh at me. I'm just worried that something might happen. When you have your coming-of-age ceremony, we'll choose one from here to use. When you get married, this set of head ornaments will be just right. It's festive and noble. "
Qin Yining was amused by the rarely seen happy appearance of the Sun Clan.
"Mother, you're planning too early. My matters haven't even been set in stone yet. "
"Do you still need to worry about this? My daughter was born with such beauty and your father is supporting you. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to find a good marriage? It's always been a family with hundreds of suitors. We're just newcomers, and because of our past, we can't publicize it. Silly girl, do you believe that if we release the news that you want to discuss marriage, our family's doorstep will be flattened by people? "
"You're exaggerating." Qin Yining laughed again.
The mother and daughter chatted and laughed, causing Mother Jin, Ji Yun, and Xian Yun to laugh as well.
After the group bought the jewelry, they went to the teahouse to find a private room to sit down and rest.
The Sun Clan ordered a pot of Zhengshan Xiaozhong and a few snacks, and chatted with Qin Yining while drinking tea.
Qin Yining realized that ever since the Sun Clan found out that Cao Yuqing was no longer Qin Huaiyuan's concubine, the Sun Clan's entire face glowed with radiance. It was as if they had suddenly become ten years younger, and they were much more amiable and calm when dealing with people.
The Sun Clan liked this daughter more and more now, not only because she looked like the young Qin Huaiyuan, but also because of her intelligence and calmness. Although she was a mother, she could always find a sense of security from her daughter. It was as if she could think of a way to solve anything.
The relationship between the mother and daughter had become much closer in recent days.
Just as the atmosphere was harmonious, Qin Yining vaguely heard someone talking loudly in the hall downstairs. They seemed to have mentioned "Prince Zhongshun".
The Sun Clan was also very curious, so she raised her eyes to look at Qin Yining.
Qin Yining signaled to Ji Yun.
Ji Yun immediately went to open the lattice window facing the hall on the first floor. The noise in the hall entered her ears, and she could also clearly hear the man's voice just now.
"… So, a good man like Prince Zhongshun, how many women's hearts will he steal? Even a woman like the Eldest Princess can't forget him. I really don't know which woman in this world can refuse such an outstanding man. "
Such a joke caused everyone in the hall to laugh, and the laughter seemed to be particularly meaningful.
Qin Yining raised her eyebrows.
She didn't know what happened between Pang Zhixi and Li Helan.
Although she was curious, she didn't doubt Pang Xiao. They had been through so many ups and downs, so how could she not know Pang Xiao's sincerity towards her?
However, when Bing Tang, Ji Yun, and Xian Yun heard this, they became nervous.
Especially the Sun Clan. When they heard someone mention Pang Xiao, their faces immediately darkened. They carefully glanced at Qin Yining, afraid that their daughter would be upset, so they stood up and said, "Sister Yi, we're tired from shopping today. Let's go back."
"Okay." Qin Yining smiled and agreed. Then, she accompanied the Sun Clan in the car and left.
Before getting into the car, Qin Yining looked at Jing Zhe, who was following beside her.
Jing Zhe immediately came forward.
Qin Yining whispered a few words in Jing Zhe's ear. Jing Zhe immediately obeyed and left.
Qin Yining returned home and tidied up the jewelry she had just bought.
Bing Tang observed Qin Yining's expression. When he saw that she wasn't angry, he said in a low voice, "Miss, don't think too much. Wang Ye isn't that kind of person."
"That's right." Bing Tang spoke up. Ji Yun and Xian Yun also tried to persuade her.
Only Qiu Lu, who didn't go out with them today, was confused. She didn't know what had happened.
At this time, Jing Zhe returned.
"Miss, this subordinate has asked around outside. There are many kinds of rumors, but to summarize, it's that Anyang Princess Royal chased after Prince Zhongshun. It seems like she wanted to express her goodwill, but after being rejected by Wang Ye, she cried and made a scene."
As he spoke, he took out an envelope and presented it to her with both hands. "When I returned home, I met Master Zhong's servant who came to deliver a letter to you. This subordinate brought the letter in."
Qin Yining took the letter. When she saw that there was no head written on it, she curiously took out the letter.
The content of the letter was very simple. There were only four words written in bold calligraphy that penetrated the back of the paper: There is no such thing.
Pang Xiao was afraid that she would think too much, so he specially sent her a note!
