Gu Shengyin walked to the place where Zhang Mingshu had previously looked at a bracelet.

“Take this out for me to see.” She said; her voice loud enough to attract Zhang Mingshu's attention who was not too far away.

The object Gu Shengyin had pointed at was the sheep fat-colored white jade bracelet that Zhang Mingshu had bought earlier.

Because Gu Shengyin was wearing a veiled hat, the shop a.s.sistant could not see her appearance.

However, just looking at the clothes she was wearing, although not gorgeous, they were all exceptionally expensive, particularly the jade knot hanging on the waist of the dress. The shop a.s.sistant dared to guarantee that this person absolutely had a n.o.ble's ident.i.ty. (然而只看她身上衣飾，雖不華麗卻樣樣精貴異常，特別的腰間那一枚壓裙角的玉扣，夥計敢擔保，這位絕對是有身份的主兒)

He attentively took out the sheep fat-colored white jade bracelet.

Then, everyone saw the young lady extend her hand out of her sleeve and place it next to the bracelet.

Liang Chenyu's appearance was gorgeous and incomparable; however, the most breath-taking part was not her face but her creamy white, flawless skin. (樑宸玉本身生的容貌華美無雙，然而渾身上下，最叫人驚歎的，卻不是那張臉，而是那一身欺霜賽雪，剔透無瑕的肌膚)

Therefore, when she extended her hand out and placed it next to the bracelet—

The bracelet was still the same one, but everyone who saw it felt that it had changed.

It was not white enough; it was not transparent enough; it was not perfect enough. In short, it did not deserve that pair of n.o.ble hands. (不夠白，不夠透，不夠無瑕。總而言之，配不上那雙矜貴的手)

Even the shop a.s.sistant had an urge to stop this customer from wearing this bracelet—Putting on this bracelet onto her wrist was similar to a shadow appearing on the flawless sea of snow. (就連夥計，都有一種想要開口阻止這位客人將這隻鐲子戴上去的衝動——這鐲子戴上這雙手，反而就像是無瑕的雪海中突兀的出現了一片陰影)

As expected, Gu Shengyin picked up the bracelet to look at it before shaking her head gently: “The quality of this bracelet is not very good. Shopkeeper, can you bring me a better one?”

The shop a.s.sistant secretly grumbled in his mind: This sheep fat-colored white jade bracelet was already their store's top quality good. It was clearly this customer's skin that was too beautiful and flawless, but she blamed it on the bracelet for its lacking quality. (那夥計心裡暗暗叫苦：這羊脂白玉鐲已經是他們店裡的上品了，分明是這位客人肌膚太過美麗無瑕，反倒責怪鐲子成色不行)

The shop a.s.sistant had not read many books so he couldn't think of more adjectives of praises. (夥計沒讀過多少書，他想不出更多讚美的形容詞來)

Seeing that Zhang Mingshu's face was obviously not so good, the effect of Gu Shengyin beating her face had already been achieved.

Zhang Mingshu was already walking towards the carriage; apparently, a blue-clothed gong zi1 came down from the carriage. When Gu Shengyin looked over, she only saw his back. Shortly after Zhang Mingshu entered the carriage, the carriage curtain was put down. (張明姝這會兒已經朝着馬車上面走了過去，馬車上似乎下來了一個藍袍的公子，顧盛因看過去的時候，只看到了一個背影，旋即張明姝進了馬車，車簾被放了下來)

At this moment, two ladies not too far away from them spoke.

One of the ladies, wearing a sapphire blue attire,  voiced her doubts: “Looking at that n.o.bleman, he seemed to be Zhenbei w.a.n.g‘s son?”

The lady next to her nodded: “That's right.”

The lady who had voiced her doubts earlier said: “Wasn't Zhenbei w.a.n.g‘s son bestowed a marriage? Just now, could that person possibly be Liang Taifu fu‘s Young Lady?” (先前開口的那位疑惑："鎮北王世子不是被賜了婚事的嗎？方纔那一位，莫非就是樑太傅府中的小姐)

Another n.o.ble lady laughed: “How could that be possible that a member of the upright and honorable Taifu fu come out? How could Miss Liang casually enter the carriage of another family?” Her manner of speaking suddenly turned into a sneer: “Men, you know. Who doesn't have a few female confidantes?” (另一位夫人笑道："怎麼可能，太傅府的家風清正是出了名的，樑小姐怎麼可能隨隨便便上別家的馬車？"她語氣陡然變得嘲諷了起來，"男人嘛，你懂的，誰沒有幾個紅顏知己呢)

Anger flashed on the sapphire blue-clothed lady's face before finally turning a sigh: “What a pity for it to happen to Liang Taifu fu‘s Young Lady. Each and every one of them are good, yet unexpectedly…” (穿着寶藍色衣裳的夫人臉上有怒色閃過，最終化作一身嘆息："可惜了，樑太傅福府中的小姐，個個都是好的，不成想竟然…)

Liang Linyu, who had heard their words, had long turned pale.

“Da jiejie, were they actually talking about Zhenbei w.a.n.g‘s son?” Liang Linyu looked at Gu Shengyin with disbelief.

Gu Shengyin's complexion was also not too good.

“I'm going to go ask him!” Liang Linyu was still young and was pampered by her family. Of course, this was the most simplest way that came to mind.

Gu Shengyin quickly pulled her back. Doing this would naturally let Zhenbei w.a.n.gfu have no face; however, in this way, Liang Chenyu's reputation would also be ruined. (顧盛因連忙拉住她，這樣做固然讓鎮北王府沒臉，可這樣一來，樑宸玉的名聲也毀了)

“Let's return and tell Grandma. Wait for her, our elder, to make the decision.” (咱們回去告訴祖母，等着她老人家拿主意)
