Let Her Off Easy
Inside the ordinary brocade box lay two pink and tender pearls. They were the kind that girls loved.
How big were they? They were as big as copper bells.
Dongzhu pearls were already rare, and these were of such quality and size. Gu Shiyan's mouth twitched. The next time they met, she would ask him if he still needed divination. A daily divination would be great! She couldn't help but play with the two pearls in her hands. She thought that making a pair of pearl-embroidered shoes would look beautiful.
"Miss." Just as she was thinking about it, Su Chen suddenly appeared.
Gu Shiyan immediately put away the two pearls. Su Chen looked at her with a hesitant expression. Gu Shiyan raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter?"
Su Chen frowned and said, "Your mother is looking to hire an assassin. She seems to have some connections and even found our Zhaixing Tower. Do you think we should take the job?"
Gu Shiyan was somewhat surprised. "She actually found Zhaixing Tower!"
