Mu Nanzhi rubbed her forehead which ached. And then she carefully cast a glance at Lu Zhishan. She just failed to control herself well and blurted all her inner feelings out. Now she began regretting for what she had done. She was so nervous as she was afraid that Lu Zhishan would be tired of her and keep her at a distance.
Lu Zhishan was special for her. Lu Zhishan cared about her so much and she respected and relied on him. She suddenly realized that Lu Zhishan was just like a mountain in her heart, playing a role as her father or brother and giving her the long-absent feeling which she desired for a long time.
She feared that Lu Zhishan will detest her and refuse to get close to her. Maybe he would forbid her from coming to the warm Marquess Mansion again.
“Princess, snacks are ready. They are still hot now. Try them quickly!” Song Fu raised the door curtain and walked in. With a smile, he took out several plates of snacks and put them on the table. Then he turned to Mu Nanzhi and said, “I have packed two boxes of snacks and will sent to your mansion later.” “Thanks a lot,” said Mu Nanzhi slowly.
“Princess, it’s really my pleasure to do these things for you. Don’t be so polite.”
...
Staring at the four plates of delicate snacks in front of her, Mu Nanzhi had no appetite at all. She just felt so worried and was too nervous to sit still. She hoped that Lu Zhishan could say something. But she was also afraid that what Lu Zhishan said would make her more disappointed.
Her mind was filled with worry and fear.
“Song Fu. Take the gift that I prepared for princess’s adult ceremony,” Lu Zhishan suddenly said and added, “The pair of bracelets which was packed in a white jade box.”
Song Fu got stunned. He remembered that the gift should be the golden necklace which was decorated with pearls and jades.
“Yes, I will take it soon.” Getting stunned for a few seconds, Song Fu quickly withdrew and stepped to the storehouse.
There were so many bracelets in the storehouse, including rivina humilis bracelets, jade bracelets and agate ones. But there was only a pair of bracelets which were packed in a white jade box. Song Fu opened the box and looked at it, eyes full of sort of complex emotion. Then he closed it again.
...
“Open it and see if you like it.” Lu Zhishan pointed at the white jade box and said to Mu Nanzhi.
The white jade box was about half a chi and it was carved by a whole jade. It was totally white and appeared pretty good. Obviously, this box was made of superb Nephrite. It was really a waste to make such a jade into a box rather than a jewelry. Mu Nanzhi touched the jade box and could not help saying, “Cousin, seeing this reminds me of a phrase.”
Lu Zhishan raised his eyebrows and smiled, “What’s it?”
“Keep the glittering casket and give back the pearls to the seller. (Put the cart before the horse.)”
Lu Zhishan laughed and said, “Open it quickly and see if I am the fool as you said.”
Mu Nanzhi carefully opened the white jade box. As soon as she opened the box and see the bracelet in it, she opened her eyes wide. After a while, she calmed herself down and stared at Lu Zhishan in surprise. “Cousin, it’s too precious for me to accept.”
“The bracelets were kept in the store house for many years. It’s really a pity. They won’t stay in dark anymore if you accept them today. This is their fortune.”
“Did... Did my sister-in-law leave them to you?” asked Mu Nanzhi in a small voice. Unconsciously, she was not willing to have the things that Princess Duan left.
