Chapter 680: Chapter 526 This is expressing love, not ugly at all

The moment the words were spoken, both of them froze.

Chu Zhao felt he had spoken too quickly; his Master had not said anything, but he, a subordinate, had taken the lead to speak. Was that inappropriate?

Cai Xia looked at Chu Zhao with a shocked expression, "Do you mean to say that the gift from Young Master Jun is a betrothal gift?"

No wonder Cai Xia was so shocked; Young Master Jun had never revealed even the slightest bit of affection or fondness for Miss Shen during their interactions.

If there had been any hint, how could Miss Shen with her personality have kept it from Cai Xia?

Chu Zhao touched his nose, "It’s just my guess, everything is subject to what my Master says."

Cai Xia: "..."

Peeking around the corner were the equally anxious General’s wife and Xun Changfeng.

Watching the two exchange gifts under the moon, the General’s wife subconsciously assumed they were exchanging Love Tokens, and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes.

She pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes, her precious daughter could finally marry a good man.

Xun Changfeng felt somewhat unreal; Young Master Jun hadn’t mentioned anything about coming next time to propose, and suddenly, they were getting along so well?

Xun Changfeng wanted to see what would happen next when the General’s wife yanked him by the ear and led him away, "Stop looking."

Xun Changfeng grimaced in pain, forced to follow his "frail and elderly" mother out.

On the way back, the General’s wife started nagging, "You’re not getting any younger, either. It’s time for you to get married."

Upon hearing this, Xun Changfeng nearly leaped up, but considering his "frail and elderly" mother, he held back, worried he might anger her to death.

"Mother, let’s wait until sister is married off," he said.

"Looking at the current situation, it won’t be long before Qingqing is married off," the General’s wife reflected, feeling both happy and not.

Glancing at her younger son, she added, "Tomorrow I shall start making arrangements for your matchmaking."

Xun Changfeng, not daring to contradict his mother, could only respond noncommittally, "I’ll listen to mother."

Xun Qingqing watched the hairpin in the box unblinkingly; she had never seen such a beautiful hairpin and picked it up carefully, examining it closely in front of her eyes.

The hairpin was made of jade, cool and smooth to the touch, like mutton fat jade, but the color didn’t quite look like mutton fat jade.

On the hairpin, there were two begonia flowers, one large and one small, both exuding a cold white Halo. Xun Qingqing, who had seen many rare treasures, couldn’t guess what material the flowers were made of to emit a Halo in the pitch-black night.

The style of the hairpin was simple yet elegant.

Xun Qingqing’s former aesthetic favored luxurious and flamboyant hairpins that could show off one’s status. She didn’t like these kinds of simple and elegant style hairpins.

Now?

As long as it was given by Jun Wuxian, she liked everything.

Xun Qingqing looked up at Jun Wuxian with joy, "I really like it, thank you for the gift."

Jun Wuxian looked at Xun Qingqing, and having been acquainted with her for some time, he understood her quite well. She was a straightforward person who wore her heart on her sleeve, making her easy to take advantage of.

"I’m glad you like it."

Xun Qingqing closed the lid of the gift box and held it in her arms carefully, fearing she might drop it.

"You should rest now; I should go back and rest too."

Jun Wuxian nodded, "Mhm."

As Xun Qingqing turned and walked away with the gift, the smile on her face was so bright she couldn’t hide it. She walked back to her room with joyful steps.

Jun Wuxian, tall and handsome, watched the petite figure disappear into the corridor; although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually feeling a bit nervous inside, so some words remained unspoken.

However, he felt there was plenty of time ahead and no need to rush.

"Chu Zhao."

Chu Zhao, who had been hiding in the shadows, came out promptly when he heard the summons.

"Master."

"Go investigate Shen Chuwei’s background."

"Master, didn’t we already check Shen Chuwei’s background? Why are we checking again?" Chu Zhao asked, puzzled.

Last time they had not conducted a thorough investigation.

Jun Wuxian gave Chu Zhao a cold glance, "Go to the countryside and thoroughly re-investigate everyone who knows Shen Chuwei."

"Your Subordinate understands," Chu Zhao quickly left to carry out the order.

Jun Wuxian recalled meeting Susu and Taotao on the street, they reminded him of Little Jiu as a child, especially Susu, with her food-loving behavior, was just like Little Jiu.

Xun Qingqing was so happy that she kept glancing down at the gift box in her hands from time to time, surprised by Jun Wuxian’s sudden appearance, more so than ever before.

Cai Xia observed her young lady’s walking posture, which was completely different from the listless and languid manner of the daytime. Now she was brimming with Spirit, her steps light and cheerful.
