The Favorite Mate of Prince

The 'tragic' truth tells us that time-traveling is a technical skill, and clearly, Ye Zao was mediocre at it. Being duped by her own penny-pinching uncle into becoming a lowly concubine in someone else's house was bad enough, but why did it have to be in Fourth Master's residence? Being just a mere Concubine, how was she to get by? The starting point was too low, the background too poor, the bargaining chips too few! The big BOSS had too much HP, and every mini BOSS was lethal! After much deliberation, playing the virtuous act would get her killed, because there was Lady Ulaanala ahead of her. Playing the shrew would also lead to death, for there was Li Consort Fujin behind her. Bearing sons wasn't permitted, yet not bearing them left her with no support—what a conundrum of a life! Having finally maneuvered her way from the residence into the palace, she still had The Empress Dowager on top, who disliked her for not looking dignified enough! Fortunately, Fourth Master didn't mind, and he secretly quite fancied her undignified looks! Ye Zao's goal was to live a good life, clothed in silk and jewels, exalted and lofty.

Chapter 226: Angry

At this end, Su Peisheng laid out the box in front of Fourth Master and Ye Zao.

Without looking, Ye Zao said with a smile, "Take a look."

Only then did Ye Zao set down her teacup, deigning to look over.

Of course, what caught the eye the most was the pair of red jade hairpins, fashioned in the style of plum blossoms.

She picked up one to examine it, then tossed it back into the box with a clink—the sound of the hairpins colliding.

At that sound, Su Peisheng's heart trembled, not from fear, but from anguish. Goodness, this was Blood Jade—what if it were to shatter from the impact!!

Meanwhile, Ye Zao eyed the hairpins with disdain, "Such good Blood Jade, made into this, truly ugly to death."

In fact, it wasn't that ugly, but, if Fourth Master were to say so, she had no choice but to declare it unattractive.

Anyway, whether it was ugly or not, she couldn't wear something like that in public; so... best to just say it was ugly!
