After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 235 Returning the Jewels

"She's coming to the palace?"

Wuyi nodded, "Yes."

Gulin's expression instantly brightened, and he instructed Wuyi, "Go to the warehouse right now and pick out the best jewelry to send to her."

"Send again?" Wuyi's face was stiff.

Not all the good jewelry in the warehouse were given to Jiang Xiyu by him.

"Forget it, I'll go pick it myself." Gulin was worried about Wuyi, so he stood up and walked towards the warehouse.

Wuyi followed helplessly.

Not long after Jiang Xiyu came back, Qing'er came in angrily, "Madam, that annoying guy is here again."

"Who is it?" Jiang Xiyu was confused by Qing'er's words.

"It's the guard next door." Qing'er said gritting her teeth.

Jiang Xiyu raised his chin towards Qing'er again and said, "Bring him in."

"Yes." Qing'er responded unwillingly and went out.

Soon, Qing'er brought Wuyi into the house.

Without waiting for Jiang Xiyu to ask, Wuyi handed the box to Jiang Xiyu and said, "Our prince said that Madam worked hard to prepare medicinal food for him, and asked me to bring you something as a reward."

After Wuyi finished speaking, he was afraid that Jiang Xiyu would not want it, so he put down the things and strode out the door.

Jiang Xiyu was stunned and walked forward to open the box. She was shocked by what was inside.

Qing'er was also surprised when she saw Manman's jewelry. "Madam, I didn't expect the King of Qin to be so generous. These jewels must be very expensive."

Any piece of jewellery you take out of this box feels like a priceless treasure.

Jiang Xiyu frowned, remained silent for a moment, took out a sapphire from the box, squinted his eyes and said, "Don't you think this thing looks familiar?"

Qing'er took it and looked it up and down for a while, as if she thought of something. After putting it down, she turned around and walked towards the back.

After a while, he came over with two boxes in his hands, opened them, and took out a sapphire of similar size and purity, and compared it with the one in Jiang Xiyu's hand.

"Ma'am, these two look very similar."

Jiang Xiyu took it and looked at the two blue jewels carefully. The more she looked, the more similar they became, and her brows furrowed.

Qing'er began to look through the other jewels in the box. "These two rubies are very similar, and these two pieces of top-grade jadeite..."

The more Qing'er flipped through the boxes, the more she felt that the jewels in this box were very similar to the jewels in the previous two boxes.

Jiang Xiyu's expression became increasingly grim until she noticed the three boxes in front of her. "This box..."

At first, Qing'er only paid attention to the jewelry and didn't pay any attention to the box at all.

After Jiang Xiyu mentioned this, Qing'er finally noticed the three boxes in front of her and exclaimed, "These boxes are exactly the same. Could it be that the person who gave you the jewelry before was the King of Qin?"

Jiang Xiyu's face turned pale when he heard this.

The masked man who took away her innocence was actually Gulin?

But she had clearly tested Gulin before, and there was no bite mark on his neck from where she had bitten the masked man, so how could it be him?

Jiang Xiyu shook her head desperately.

It couldn't be Gulin, and Gulin was not interested in women. How could he take away her innocence and do such a shameless thing to her?

Jiang Xiyu's mind inexplicably flashed back to Gulin pinning flowers for her, pulling her to hide behind a tree in the peach forest in the palace, replacing all the trees in the mansion with sycamore trees, and the guard saying that he would only eat the medicinal food she made.

The scene, like a revolving lantern, suddenly gave Jiang Xiyu a headache, and her face turned frighteningly pale.

Seeing this, Qing'er hurriedly said nervously, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly? Please don't scare me."

Jiang Xiyu took a long time to recover. She picked out two pieces of jewelry from the two boxes and put them in the box that was delivered today. She then said to Qing'er, "Return this to the King of Qin and tell him that I can't afford it."

"Yes." Although Qing'er didn't understand why, she still obediently carried the box to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

Wuyi came out and saw that it was Qing'er. He immediately smiled flatteringly and said, "It's you, but what's the matter?"

"Our lady asked me to return this box to the prince." Qing'er said as she was about to stuff the box into Wuyi's arms.

Wuyi didn't dare to accept it and quickly pushed it back. "I was ordered to deliver the things to your wife. Now you give it to me directly. How can I explain to my prince? If you want to return it, just give it back to my prince directly."

Qing'er glanced at the anxious Wuyi and could understand his difficulties.

"Come on, I'll take you in." Wuyi led Qing'er into the Prince Qin's Mansion.

When they arrived at the study in the main courtyard, Wuyi went straight into the room to report, then came out and took Qing'er into the study.

Qing'er was a little nervous when she saw Gulin, but she remembered what Jiang Xiyu had told her, so she stepped forward and saluted, "Your servant greets His Majesty."

Gulin raised his eyes to look at her, then glanced at the box in her hand. His cheerful mood instantly darkened. "What's the matter?"

Qing'er felt that Gulin was a little serious and became even more nervous. She carefully placed the box in her hand on Gulin's desk and said, "My wife asked me to return this box to the prince. She said she couldn't bear it."

Qing'er's words made Gulin frown. He stared at the box for a few seconds and suddenly opened it.

Seeing the two extra pieces of jewelry in the box, Gulin's pupils shrank sharply.

After a long silence, Gulin closed the box and looked at Qing'er, "Take this box back. It doesn't contain all the jewelry I gave you. The ones I gave you are for her. I want to thank her for personally preparing the medicinal food for me. You don't have to return it."

Gulin's words instantly embarrassed Qing'er, "But my wife..."

Gulin glanced at Qing'er sharply, and Qing'er dared not say anything. She walked forward, picked up the box and went back.

As soon as Qing'er left, Wuyi asked in confusion, "Isn't this the box I just delivered? Isn't it filled with jewelry personally selected by the prince?"

Just now Gulin was happily choosing, and he saw it with his own eyes. Why is he saying now that it was not given by him?

Gulin glanced at him coldly, then turned around and sat down.

Today he had not considered it carefully. When he heard that she wanted to come to the palace to settle the bill with him, he was so happy that he went to the warehouse to pick out some jewelry for her.

He had completely forgotten his previous identity as the masked man and had given her jewelry. She probably checked the jewelry he had given her before and compared it with the one he gave her this time. She might even have vaguely guessed his identity.

He was truly careless. He hadn't even prepared a different box. She must have been able to discern something from it. She had deliberately mixed the jewelry he had given her previously into this box just to test him.

However, she still couldn't be sure that he was the masked man, but this time she should be able to confirm his feelings.

Because it was too obvious, he didn't dare to reveal even a little bit of his thoughts before. Firstly, he was afraid of scaring her, and secondly, he was afraid that if she knew, she would avoid him, resist him, or even hate him.

But now that things have come to this, he can no longer hide his feelings.

Since he couldn't hide it any longer, he didn't have to hide it anymore. It wouldn't hurt to let her know his thoughts earlier so that she could be mentally prepared. However, he couldn't reveal the identity of the masked man for the time being.
