Chapter 280 The Bracelet Passed Down From the Ancestors

"I have to accept this gift!" The old lady sighed, and the smile on her face slowly faded, "Grandma also knew what Duke Xingguo did before. It seemed that she had hooked up with someone over there and wanted to deal with her. Your mother and you don’t know how they hooked up with this lady over there!”

The old lady's expression was a little cold.

No one is stupid. What the old lady did that day and the people Qin Huaiyong found from Shui Ruolan's ex-husband's family were all seen by the old lady. How could she not understand who the Duke of Xingguo was? Not good.

She was also very wary of Mrs. Xingguo.

Even though this nun was here to give a gift today, the old lady had no intention of accepting it since she found out about it.

She wasn't sure what step this Duke of Xingguo could take for Di!

"Then why did grandma accept this pair of bracelets?" Qin Wanru said curiously as Yu Jie took the box over and looked at the pair of bracelets on it.

Just looking at it from a distance, I only knew that this bracelet was worth a lot of money, but when I looked closely, I realized that it was different from ordinary bracelets. The gold ornaments on the outside of the bracelet were made in a simple style, with two rubies reflecting on it. The water head of the bracelet is brighter and more brilliant.

At first glance, this pair of bracelets doesn't look like they were just customized from outside, but rather like they were handed down from ancestors.

"This bracelet is the bracelet of our Qin family ancestor. Something happened to your grandfather at that time. Your father was still young. I had no choice but to buy the family property to save your grandfather. This bracelet was sold at that time. For this reason, I I knelt in front of the memorial tablet all night, begging for forgiveness from my ancestors! But in the end, even though he spent a lot of money, your grandfather still..."

The old lady said that she was so sad that her eyes turned red. She put down Qin Wanru's hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"Grandma, how did this bracelet end up in the hands of Mrs. Xingguo?" Qin Wanru held the old lady's other hand soothingly and asked softly.

"I don't know why it was in the hands of Duke Xingguo. The family I sold it to to raise money was not Duke Xingguo's house!" The old lady shook her head.

"Then...what does Mrs. Xingguo want me to do now to send you this pair of bracelets?" Qin Wanru's eyes fell on the pair of conspicuous bracelets. Inexplicably, they seemed familiar, and she stretched out her hand to gently rub the center of her eyebrows. , Shui eyes flickered a few times and asked, it seems that he had seen this pair of bracelets in the previous life, right?

But she couldn't remember it, she just thought it looked familiar!

This was a bracelet handed down from the ancestor of Qin Mansion. She didn't think it looked familiar at first glance, but now she looked closely and she actually looked familiar.

He reached out to pick up a bracelet and casually touched the ruby ​​on it.

"Zhuo Zhuo also saw that a small piece was missing from it, right? I accidentally knocked it on when I was young, and I kept the pair of bracelets away. I originally planned to give them out as a betrothal gift when your father got married. Yes, but...it disappeared later!" The old lady sighed.

Qin Wanru looked at the bracelet in her hand in surprise. The old lady didn't say anything, but she really didn't know that there was indeed a small recess where she pressed her hand. She felt that a little bit was missing there, but at first glance, You can't see it below, so how could you find this small recess just by looking for it?

"Grandma, what does Mrs. Xingguo mean?" Biting her lip to suppress the turbulent waves in her heart, Qin Wanru led the topic away.

She had known that her memory from the previous life was incomplete, and she couldn't seem to remember some key parts, so it was possible that she had seen the pair of bracelets in front of her in the previous life.

It's just that in the last life, this pair of bracelets probably returned to my grandmother's hands, but I don't know where I saw the pair of bracelets in my previous life, and they looked vaguely familiar!

"You are going to attend the banquet. It happens that a niece from Duke Xingguo's residence is also going under the name of Duke Xingguo's wife. However, there are no other ladies from Duke Xingguo's residence entering the palace. I want you to take care of me. If... "The old lady became embarrassed when she said this and looked at Qin Wanru hesitantly.

"There are no other ladies in Duke Xingguo's mansion to attend the banquet? Where are the ladies in their mansion?" Qin Wanru's attention fell on this condition of care.

"The eldest lady is not in the capital, the second lady is sick, the third lady fell in front of her, and the fourth lady has to take care of her sister, so she can't go!" said the old lady.

"The power of Duke Xingguo in the capital is not small. Even if their niece is a low-class person, she can still be taken care of if she wants to be taken care of. Why do you want to find me?" Qin Wanru's eyes were a bit dark, and there was a wave of confusion in his eyes. Dark glow.

Mrs. Xingguo was not the prefect of Qi in Jiangzhou. She was only known to her family in Beijing, so she sent Qi Rongzhi to her family for foster care.

"Mrs. Xingguo's mother-in-law also explained this matter, saying that this young lady's status is not very prominent. Although she was from a noble family in the past, she has fallen into decline now, so she is afraid to be with a young lady from a big family, for fear of being criticized by them. I was so ridiculed, and it happened that you were about to enter the palace, so I asked you to do it! For this reason, I took this pair of bracelets as a thank you gift!"

The old lady's eyes fell on the bracelets, and she felt sad for a moment when she remembered that her pair of bracelets were finally given to her by someone else.

This sounds reasonable. Even though the Duke of Xingguo is a powerful family, this cousin sounds like a girl from a small and declining family. She must have low self-esteem and be unwilling to follow a young lady from such a big family. Traveling with a lady from a wealthy family is perfectly acceptable.

But this pair of bracelets is a heavy gift!

It is not difficult to ask Qin Wanru to take care of him. The two of them can do it together, so there is no need to spend so much effort to give such a heavy gift.

"Grandma, does Mrs. Xingguo have other requests?" Qin Wanru asked with a slight turn of eyes.

"This... is actually a bit difficult. If Zhuo Zhuo is unwilling, forget it. At most, return the pair of bracelets to Mrs. Xingguo!"

The old lady sighed in embarrassment, looking a little depressed.

"Let me tell you, grandma, maybe it won't be difficult!" Qin Wanru stretched out her hand and shook the old lady's hand. Looking at the old lady's look, she knew that the attraction of these bracelets to the old lady was not only its value, but also its value. It was also about the things that had been passed down from her ancestors. The old lady felt that she was sorry for the ancestors of the Qin family when she took off this ancestral bracelet.

This will bring back the pair of bracelets, and the old lady is naturally very hopeful!

This gift from Mrs. Xingguo was so profound that it made the old lady want to refuse, but she couldn't even say a word.

"I just want you to introduce this cousin to Princess Ruian!" The old lady said helplessly. She really couldn't bear to part with these bracelets.

"Introduced to the eldest princess Ruian?" Qin Wanru's heart moved.

"Yes, even after the introduction, if Princess Ruian really doesn't like this young lady, it has nothing to do with you!" the old lady said.

"Then... this gift is still too heavy!" Qin Wanru's face remained unchanged and she continued to ask with a smile.

"Part of this gift is to apologize to you. The wife of Duke Xingguo said that when Mrs. Xingguo came that day, Mrs. Yong-Kangbo asked her to come and see Di and Yuru. The map is Yong-Kangbo. It was given by Madam, so Di asked someone to bring out a letter, thinking it was a letter from home, but she didn’t expect that there were other twists and turns in it!”

"She has already scolded Mrs. Yong-combo for this, but she is still humble to you. Taking this opportunity of asking you to help, she sent the bracelet over as a gift to express her sincerity!"

The old lady explained.

It's not just a thank you gift, but also an apology gift. If it's just a thank you gift, this thank you gift is really too big, but if it's an apology gift, it's possible that this apology gift is heavier because you feel guilty.

What's more, Mrs. Xingguo was so caring that she specially found the pair of ancestral bracelets from the Qin Mansion. The sincerity in this was not unreasonable.

Although everyone didn't talk about what happened that day, the meaning behind it is that Duke Xingguo's palace did something wrong. At present, Duke Xingguo's wife herself is not here, but she has sent her personal mother-in-law to give gifts to Dao Qian. It is justifiable for this reason to bring the two families closer.

Everything made sense and was perfect!

But Qin Wanru didn't believe in such perfection. The old lady might think that Mrs. Xingguo's behavior was excusable, but Qin Wanru had already understood that this was another plot of Mrs. Xingguo.

Mrs. Xingguo Gong was really powerful. These few words and such a gift immediately made my grandmother’s doubts disappear for the most part, and she also felt that Mrs. Xingguo Gong was quite sincere.

Facing this Duke Xingguo's wife, I really can't slack off at all!

Putting all the things together, what we can see is the sincerity of Mrs. Xingguo. Even if she asks herself to lend a hand to help, it is just a reasonable reason to give this pair of bracelets. She just wants to help and doesn't need to care.

She sneered in her heart, but Qin Wanru's face didn't show anything. She reached out to put down the bracelet, and Yu Jie brought it to the table in front of the old lady: "Grandma, since Mrs. Xingguo is so sincere, then you can accept it. Anyway, bring one with you. It’s not a big deal for people to go and see the eldest princess Ruian. For Mrs. Xingguo to entrust me with this matter is also a sign of goodwill to our family!”

"Grandma thinks so too, but she always feels a little uneasy!" The old lady looked at Qin Wanru, stretched out her hand to tuck her fallen hair behind her ears, her expression became heavy, "Zhuo Zhuo, I don't know why grandma feels that Don’t believe everything Mrs. Xingguo says. Be careful when you enter the palace. If this young lady behaves inappropriately, you don’t have to worry about her! Since we already know that these bracelets are in Duke Xingguo’s mansion, we will find another way to give them back. !”

The old lady is also a mature person. Even though she lost her normal state for a while when she saw the pair of bracelets, she also woke up at this time. After what happened before, no matter how perfect Mrs. Xingguo's explanation was, she still felt a little unbelievable!

"Grandma, don't worry!" Qin Wanru had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were cold!
