I saw that the exquisitely packaged gift box was filled with jewelry and jade, as well as excellent pearls and gorgeous gold hairpins.

A whole box.

Shen Ruoxi opened her eyes slightly.

"This...who taught you to give gifts like this?"

"I chose it myself, and I didn't know what you liked, so I picked some of everything."

Wan Siyu was a little embarrassed.

Her mother used to be a merchant, and her father was a well-rounded man. Although he was well-read in poetry and books, he was full of sophistication and the stench of copper.

She has not liked reading since she was a child, and like her parents, she likes money and gold and silver.

Wan Siyu knew that those noble ladies always fawned over her and said nice things to her when they met, but in fact, they looked down on her behind her back.

He said she didn't understand elegance and was extremely tacky.

But so what.

They are all jealous of themselves!

Seeing Shen Ruoxi's thoughtful look, Wan Siyu still felt a little uncomfortable.

She reached out and put away the gift.

"If you don't like it, I'll go back and find some rare calligraphy and paintings for you..."

"Who says I don't like it?"

Shen Ruoxi held the gift she wanted to take away tightly and looked at her.

"Wan Siyu, there is no reason to take back the gift you gave me. Aren't you feeling sad and regretful?"

"How can I feel sorry for you with this little money?"

"Then don't let go of your hands."

Shen Ruoxi pushed her hand away and motioned to Tao Ye beside her.

Taoye immediately stepped forward and collected the gifts.

Seeing Shen Ruoxi's actions, Wan Siyu blurted out.

"You don't mind it?"

"Why should I dislike it?"

Shen Ruoxi seemed to have heard something extremely outrageous: "If anyone dislikes such a heavy gift, there must be something wrong with their brains, right?"

Wan Siyu was stunned.

Looking at Shen Ruoxi's beautiful and moonlit face, she suddenly felt much more pleasing to the eye.

She picked up the tea and coughed slightly.

"You don't know, many noble ladies in the past thought these things were tacky and not elegant enough."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi smiled.

"Then when you gave them gold and silver, did they accept it?"

"Received."

"That's it." Shen Ruoxi sipped her tea, "They obviously want to wear gold and silver, but they despise the smell of copper on others. What is this called? It's called hypocrisy."

"You're right! It's just hypocrisy!"

Wan Siyu nodded immediately. Unexpectedly, the first person to understand him was Shen Ruoxi!

If it weren't for the huge rift between the two before, she would have held Shen Ruoxi's hand and said some personal words to her.

She coughed slightly.

"They are so hypocritical! While they want me to give them gold and silver jewelry, they look down on me. They even mocked me behind my back because my mother worked as a merchant, including Su Tianling."

When Su Tianling was mentioned, Wan Siyu's eyes filled with anger.

"Every time I gave her something, she accepted it lightly without even saying thank you. She even said a little arrogantly, let me read more poems and books and write pen and ink when I have time, and don't focus on these mundane things. superior!"

"Su Tianling said these things to you?"

Shen Ruoxi frowned.

She, Su Tianling, behaved badly and unforgivably, yet she had the nerve to teach others.

"Right." Shen Ruoxi thought of something.

"I remember that when I was a child, you were very hostile to me and didn't like me very much. Why?"

"You still say?!"

As soon as this was mentioned, a trace of anger immediately emerged on Wan Siyu's face.

"When I was ten years old, I followed Su Tianling to play in the palace. I had a good relationship with you at that time. Later, you asked someone to call me to wait for you by the lotus pond, so I went. What happened?!

As a result, I waited for a long time, but you didn't show up, so I was about to leave, but suddenly a person suddenly appeared from behind and pushed me into the lotus pond, causing me to almost drown! In the end, Su Tianling called the palace people to come over and rescue me. Because I fell into the water that time, I had a high fever for several days after I got back! "

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi was stunned.

She was certain that she had never done such a crazy thing when she was a child.

"Who pushed you?"

"You're still pretending, isn't it you!"

"What did you see?"

"I didn't see it. Su Tianling told me."

After finishing speaking, Wan Siyu was a little stunned.

She looked at Shen Ruoxi suspiciously, and after a while, she seemed to have thought of something.

"Could it be..."

Shen Ruoxi nodded: "I never asked you to go to the lotus pond. Wan Siyu, you were deceived."

"what?!"

Wan Siyu almost exploded: "But, why did Su Tianling lie to me!?"

"I don't know...but I guess that at that time, Wan Shangshu had just assumed the position of Minister of Household Affairs and had not yet followed King Ling. She did this because she wanted to get closer to you and win over Wan Shangshu."

"She pretended to be my savior for so many years..."

Wan Siyu felt like she couldn't take a breath.

After that incident, her attitude towards Shen Ruoxi was extremely bad, and she began to trust Su Tianling more and more.

But who knows...

Everything turned out to be a scam! ?

If not for her strength, Wan Siyu would have wanted to rush to Prince Rong's palace right now, find Su Tianling and fight her to the death.

Wan Siyu drank several cups of herbal tea before extinguishing some of the anger in her heart.

She calmed down.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Now I have seen clearly what Su Tianling is like and will never associate with her again!"

She took a deep breath, and then said: "Shen Ruoxi, I have to remind you, don't think that now that you and His Highness Ling Wang have been granted a marriage by the emperor, you have nothing to fear. His Highness Ling Wang is certainly someone who cares about you."

"What, you haven't given up yet?"

"not me!"

Wan Siyu almost spit out her tea. She said angrily, "It's Lin Xiuyi!"

Thinking of Lin Xiuyi's unwillingness before, Wan Siyu always felt a little uneasy.

"For the sake of helping me, I have to remind you to be careful with Lin Xiuyi. Although she has a good reputation, she is not as good as the rumors say. If jealousy takes over, she might do something. An egregious move."

"I didn't expect that you were framed by Ning Lanxue, but now you have become a lot smarter."

"I'm serious. If you don't listen, I'll knock you down!"

Wan Si’s tone was breathy.

But Shen Ruoxi said gently.

"I know Lin Xiuyi is unwilling to give in. Anyway, thank you for reminding me."

Speaking of which, she held tea and pointed it at Wan Siyu with a smile.

Her stunning appearance almost made her look like a woman.

Wan Siyu's heart was pounding.

She is indeed a disaster. No wonder His Highness Ling Wang likes her!

Thinking of this, Wan Siyu suddenly felt that she deserved to lose.

"anyway."

Shen Ruoxi said: "Didn't you always like His Highness Ling Wang before, but now you have given up?"

"His Royal Highness Ling Wang is already engaged to you. It's useless no matter how much I don't give in. There are so many good men in the world, so I might as well put my thoughts on other good husbands."

"Oh? Then who do you like?"

"Why do I need to tell you?"

Wan Siyu blushed and then snorted: "It has nothing to do with you anyway. You just need to remember that from today on, we are no longer love rivals. You will be your Princess Ling, and I will pursue my love."
