Chapter 25 Ah Li

Jiang Li didn't realize that her actions in front of the Auspicious Building were all observed by bystanders. When Tonger returned from the pawnshop, she shook her head at Jiang Li and said, "The servant couldn't redeem that piece of jade you mentioned earlier because someone had already claimed it, but I found a very nice jade pendant at the pawnshop, so I bought it." She said, spreading out her palm.

The jade pendant in Tonger's palm was of average quality; in a place like the Jiang Residence, Xiangqiao herself was used to seeing fine things, and by comparison, this piece of jade was really nothing special. If there was anything unique about it, it was the chubby civet cat carved on it, lifelike and vivid.

Xiangqiao only glanced at it before looking away, but it was Jiang Li who stared at it intently and couldn't put it down after taking it, saying to Tonger, "It really is beautiful."

"The servant knew the young lady would like it, so please take it if it pleases you."
