Huangfu Lingyao realized he had narrowly escaped a dangerous situation. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he quickly retrieved a jade bracelet adorned with gold from his box. He grabbed Liu Shimei's left hand and slid the bracelet onto her wrist, admiring it for a moment before cheerfully praising, "I was right! It looks amazing on Wife!"
Liu Shimei stared at the bracelet that had suddenly appeared on her wrist. It was made of high-quality jade with intricate gold embellishments, slightly tarnished from being buried in the earth for a long time. The gold work featured phoenix patterns.
She furrowed her brows and asked, "Is this an heirloom from your mother?"
Only the queen was entitled to wear such jewelry!
Huangfu Lingyao looked at her and nodded, saying, "My wet nurse said it was left to me by my mother, to be given to my future wife!"
He wasn't lying; it was all true!
