Chapter 32 Shifting the Blame

"This headdress is a fake," she lowered her gaze, "this is not my headdress."

A moment of silence fell over the crowd.

Madam Liu was the first to speak. She asked, "Miss Jiang the Second, what do you mean by this statement?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly and handed the headdress to Madam Liu, casually saying, "I spent four hundred taels of silver on a ruby headdress at the Auspicious Building in Yanjing City. There are only three of those in the entire Auspicious Building because the rubies are of exceptionally good quality and radiant in color." She paused before completing her thought, "But the one in my hands right now is crudely made and the color is dull. It's not even worth forty taels, let alone four hundred taels of silver."

"You mean to say..." Tonger couldn't help but inquire.
