She nodded and said, "Yes, madam, are there any arrangements?"

Jiaorui thought that the Madam's beating was related to the prince's beloved Chuntao. Could it be that the Madam wanted to take revenge on Chuntao!
If so, great.

She had long disliked Chuntao, and she only hit her a few times last time. Although it felt good, it didn't relieve her hatred.

If she can take revenge on Chuntao this time, she will get what she wants.

Just when she was fully expecting the lady to say the words she had dreamed of, the lady spoke: "Did you lose your things?"

"Huh?" Jiaorui didn't react for a moment. She blinked, and then her eyes widened: "Ah! Husband... Madam, how did you know that I lost my things so quickly! Could it be that someone from my place ran away? Are you here to gossip?"

"I wasn't sure until I saw your hairpin." Gu Qingyuan said, pointing to her temples.

Jiaorui treasured that red coral hairpin so much that she wore it no matter what she wore. When she came to see her today, she didn't wear it. This way, she was sure.

Hearing this, Jiaorui sighed and said, "Maybe I missed it, but I really like that hairpin, how could I miss it?"

"Then have you ever thought about who took it?" Gu Qingyuan asked.

Jiaorui shook her head: "I don't know, but they are definitely not my maids. Not to mention that they were all selected by Miss Suihan. Even if they really want to take it, they can't take that hairpin."

Everyone who took care of her knew that the hairpin was very important to her. How could they take something so obvious?

Even if you want to get it, it should be the ones in the jewelry box that are not often worn, not to mention the ones that are not often worn are more expensive.

But if not them, who else could it be?

Apart from her, only Granny Zhang and the Crown Prince could enter her room.

When this idea came to Jiaorui's mind, her expression suddenly changed.

If I remember correctly, when Madam came to the conclusion that her things were missing, she first asked His Majesty, could it be that...

Seeing the change in the expression on Jiaorui's face, Gu Qingyuan said unhurriedly: "Don't doubt yourself, tell your answer."

Jiaorui looked at Gu Qingyuan, her throat rolled, and finally she asked dubiously: "Could you say that person is the prince?"

Gu Qingyuan nodded, and Jiaorui saw it, and the expression on her face became more and more shocked: "This... how is this possible! How could the prince take my things? This... why is this?"

"Of course it's because he is short of money." Gu Qingyuan sighed and told Jiaorui about the prince's gambling debt.

When Jiaorui heard this, the expression on her face froze instantly. After a short silence, she sat up from the chair: "Then... then if you say that, my hairpin will never come back." Already?"

Gu Qingyuan looked at Jiaorui who looked disappointed, smiled helplessly, and then asked that thing from Mayue to come over.

Just when Jiaorui was feeling disappointed, Mayue handed her a box.

Jiaorui looked at Mayue in surprise: "What...what is this?"

"Keep it, Madam gave it to you." Wu Yue said with a smile.

Jiaorui was stunned for a moment, then opened the box. Inside the box was a red coral hairpin without tassels. It looked better and more elegant than the previous one.

The moment she saw the hairpin, Jiaorui's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Gu Qingyuan asked.

Jiaorui shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I definitely like it, but no matter how much I like it, it won't be the first one."

"The first one is in the past, and now you are more worthy of this one." Gu Qingyuan said, winking at May Yue.Wu Yue immediately stepped forward and helped Jiaorui put it on.

"Thank you Miss Mayue." Jiaorui thanked her.

Wu Yue shook her head: "Aunt Rui, you're welcome. Madam specially ordered this to be given to you. It's the only one in the world. It's priceless."

When Jiaorui heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Gu Qingyuan with a look of astonishment: "Madam, this... this is too expensive!"

Gu Qingyuan waved her hand and said, "I don't mind. I've always been generous to my own people."

Jiaorui smiled and nodded, then reached out and touched the hairpin on her head. It was obvious that she really liked it.

But soon, the smile on her face disappeared. Then, she looked at Gu Qingyuan and said seriously: "Madam, you must have known that my hairpin was going to be taken away by the prince."

Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan smiled helplessly and said: "What I'm saying is that I don't have this ability. I was originally beaten by someone before. I wanted to give it to you as a gift on your birthday. Seeing how disappointed you are after losing the hairpin, I just gave it to you in advance."

Jiaorui smiled and said: "Hey, in my heart, you are so powerful!"

At this point, Jiaorui changed the subject and continued: "By the way, one more thing. In addition to losing the hairpin, I also had a pair of earrings replaced."

"Oh?" Gu Qingyuan raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?"

Next, Jiaorui told Gu Qingyuan about the pair of earrings.

After hearing this, Gu Qingyuan frowned subconsciously.

Then she said to Mayue: "Go out and find out the whereabouts of the pair of real earrings."

Wu Yue nodded, and just as she was about to go out, she looked at Gu Qingyuan and said with some embarrassment: "Madam, when Suihan left, I specifically asked my slave to take good care of you. What will you do when I leave?"

"Me!" Jiaorui volunteered and stood up: "Madam has given me so many things, I have to repay her well."

"This..." Wu Yue hesitated, not because she didn't believe Jiaorui, but mainly because although this person claimed to be a slave, she was still the prince's aunt. It was not good to ask her to take care of his wife.

"It's nothing!" Jiaorui took over the words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Gu Qingyuan nodded and motioned for May to leave.

Seeing this, Wu Yue walked away with confidence.

After Mayue left, Gu Qingyuan looked at Jiaorui and asked, "Have you read all the books I asked Mrs. Wang to bring to you in the past few days?"

Jiaorui nodded: "I've seen it, they're all business tips."

"How do you feel?" Gu Qingyuan asked.

"It was indeed a bit obscure at first, but after reading more, I found it quite interesting." Jiaorui said.

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "As long as you think it's good, I'll have someone get some for you when I leave later. I'll try to finish reading it within three days."

"Are you... so anxious?" Mayue asked.

Gu Qingyuan nodded: "I'm really anxious. I want to take back the shop on West Street. There is a shortage of a big shopkeeper there. I want you to go. If you don't finish reading, you won't be able to take care of the shop by then. .”

"Wha...what? Leave the shop to me!" (End of Chapter)
