Chapter 666 The Duke is waiting for your words
Gu Qianning was stunned, forgetting what she was about to say. She subconsciously asked, "Second brother, what do you mean? Why do you look like you're protecting Atang and afraid she'll get hurt? Is there an assassin?"
Gu Qianhan took a few steps forward, took a look at the contents of the box, and said with a hint of surprise, "It really is a good gift?"
Gu Qianning finally realized something was wrong: "Second brother, what do you mean?"
"Oh, I thought that old bone couldn't defeat me openly, so he came to attack me again. A few days ago, he asked Fulu to send me something, but it turned out to be poisonous. When I opened it, I almost fainted from the poison."
Gu Qianning’s eyes went dark: “What?!!”
No wonder he asked her to open Shen Wantang's things, which was out of character. He made such a fuss for so long. He was afraid that it would be dangerous for Shen Wantang to open the box, so he asked her, his own sister, to take the risk!
Gu Qianning gritted her teeth. He was truly her dear second brother and loved her so much!
Shen Wantang was both angry and amused, and couldn't help but pat Gu Qianhan on the side: "How could you cheat your sister like this! It's a good thing that father gave me a good gift this time, otherwise, wouldn't An Ning be at a great disadvantage?"
"If she suffers, she should blame that old bone, but not me."
As Gu Qianhan spoke, his eyes fell on the dazzling gems in the box again: "Fulu, why did that old bone suddenly send so many gems over? Are they not poisoned?"
Fulu quickly said, "Second Young Master, this thing isn't for you. The Duke thought the Second Young Master's wife was sensible and filial, so he gave it to her alone. Therefore, the things inside are all top-notch. How could they be poisonous?"
"Oh, yes, this box has three layers. The first layer contains eight gemstones of various colors, the second layer contains jade pendants and bracelets, and the third layer contains the finest oriental pearls. The Duke said he wanted to give them to the Second Young Master's wife to play with."
Gu Qianhan took out each layer and took a look. After reading it, his brows furrowed even deeper: "Something is wrong."
This is very wrong. Why would that old guy give so many treasures to Atang for no apparent reason?
What conspiracy does he have?
Gu Qianning also felt something was amiss. She looked at the treasure in the box and couldn't help muttering, "Father has always been strict with us. He always said that playing with things will ruin one's ambition. How come Atang can play with the Dongzhu even now? Father doesn't even love my sister-in-law this much!"
Shen Wantang came forward and took a look at the things on the three floors. They were indeed priceless treasures, especially the eight gems on the first floor. Each of them was the size of a pigeon egg, and each one was very clear and pure, emitting the dazzling light unique to gems.
Since her father-in-law gave such a big gift, Gu Qianhan and Gu Qianning could question it, but she, as a daughter-in-law, could not and should not.
She quickly took the box and said solemnly, "Thank you very much, father. This gift is truly priceless! I'll thank you in person someday. From now on, I will be a filial son to you. If he needs me in any way, please let me know. I'm happy to help you!"
Fulu thought to himself, the Duke must be waiting for you to say this!
He bent his waist and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam Second Young Master. I will convey your words to the Duke without any change! The Duke will definitely be pleased to hear them!"
Shen Wantang nodded, handed the box to Nanny Yan, and called Dujuan to give a reward.
Du Juan handed over a red envelope, and Fulu took it and said loudly, "Thank you, Madam Second Young Master, for the reward! I'll take my leave!"
He smiled happily, put the red envelope in his arms, and left happily.
Look, the Second Young Master’s wife is really generous and considerate of the servants. She just came to deliver a gift, but she received a big red envelope!
He is nothing like the Second Young Master, who gets scolded every time he comes. Not to mention rewards, he is lucky if he doesn’t get beaten!
house.
Gu Qianhan didn't let Shen Wantang put the things away. He reopened the box and called Gu Qianning, "A Ning, come and feel it to see if there is any poison on this gem."
Gu Qianning: “…”
"Don't worry, if you are poisoned, Atang can immediately detoxify you."
"Then why don't you touch it?!"
"Isn't it you? I've already been poisoned by that old bone and felt uncomfortable for several days. This time it's your turn."
Gu Qianning gritted her teeth.
Can she hit people?
Forget it, it seems I can’t win.
She glared at Gu Qianhan fiercely, but was careful not to touch the beautiful gems. "Father wouldn't be that cruel, would he? He sent me a treasure and poisoned it? Isn't this for Atang? Father doesn't like you, so he wants to trick you, but Atang just came in, there's no reason for him to harm Atang!"
"Why don't you try it and see if he's really that cruel?"
"Gu Qianhan, do you think I'm stupid? You've been poisoned once, would I be fooled?"
"How can this be considered as being fooled? This is leading by example."
"Such a good opportunity, I'll give it to you, you touch it first!"
Seeing the two of them arguing, Shen Wantang stepped forward, took the box, bent down to smell it, and then directly picked up the gem: "Isn't this non-toxic? There's nothing on it, it's clean."
Gu Qianning glared at Gu Qianhan again: "I told you that father wouldn't be so cruel to Atang, and you still tried to scare me!"
Gu Qianhan slowly sat down on the chair: "I was just teasing you, who knew you would take it seriously. No matter how much that old man hates me, he would not attack Atang."
"you!!"
Gu Qianning stamped her feet in anger, then turned to complain to Shen Wantang: "Second sister-in-law, look at my second brother, he's bullying me again! He's so mean, shouldn't you give him a couple of slaps and teach him some lessons?"
Shen Wantang laughed: "Don't worry about beating him yet. Pick out a few gems to take back with you. Father gave me so many, I can't use them all."
Gu Qianning immediately shook her head: "No, that won't do. This is a gift from my father specifically for you. How can I accept it? Later, I'll ask my second brother to make you a few more headpieces, inlaid with gems. I guarantee they will dazzle everyone!"
Shen Wantang took out a few gems and wanted to put them into Gu Qianning's hands.
Gu Qianning refused to take it, and asked the maid to carry the new material she had obtained, and trotted away.
Shen Wantang put the gem back into the box and took out the jade bracelet to look at it. He knew that this was also a rare treasure. It was full of water like a clear spring, emerald green and dripping.
The troublemaker finally left. Gu Qianhan stepped forward and put his arm around Shen Wantang's waist. "Do you like it?"
Nanny Yan was very perceptive and immediately led the maids out.
Shen Wantang was somewhat accustomed to being hugged by him and did not feel uncomfortable at all. She turned to look at him and said, "Father has already given me a meeting gift, why did he send me such an expensive gift again? But what's the explanation?"
"No big deal. He's probably just satisfied with you as his daughter-in-law, so he gave you something to show his appreciation. Just like you prepared a gift specifically for An Ning, you can just keep it with peace of mind."
