These days, Ding Mujie repeatedly told himself not to overthink. After marrying Lin Wan, everything would go well. But now, he can't help but to think about it, so he said earnestly, "Don't worry, Xiang. Tell me what happened today in detail, and don't miss any of the details.

Ding Xiang wiped her tears and recalled, "Today, Miss Lin Dan and I had arranged to visit at her place. After entering the courtyard, I found that she was picking jewelry. Those gold hairpins and silver hairpins were nicely placed in the brocade box. They were stunning. I couldn't help but take a few more glances at them, then Miss Lin Dan said she would pick one for me. "

Speaking of this, she was a little afraid. Seeing that her brother was not angry, she continued, "I... I like those pieces of jewelry very much. I thought that since Miss Lin Dan would be my sister-in-law, it wouldn't be a matter, so I picked a silver hairpin. Miss Lin Din's servant said that I have good taste, where the item I choose is very exquisite. For some reason, she said that the great empress had placed a gold headpiece of hundred flowers and Phoenix in Aunt Shi's place. The gold headpiece was indeed an ingenious and amazing piece of craftwork. It was rare even in the palace, let alone in the market. As you know, Aunt Shi came from the Hmong community. She was good at making silver ornaments and making a kind of potion to wash the old gold and silver jewelry as shine as new. The great empress gave the gold headpiece to Aunt Shi and asked her to clean it, and she will return it tomorrow. "

Ding Xiang began to cry again and sobbed, "I was curious, so I begged Miss Lin Dan to take out the gold headpiece and let me have a look. Brother, you have to trust me. I just want to have a look at it, and I don't mean to do it. But when the gold headpiece was taken out, a servant suddenly told me that the Phoenix on the headpiece looks realistic. When it was worn on the head, its wings and tail would move as if it would fly into the sky. I felt a little tempted upon hearing this, so I picked up the headpiece and shook it. I wanted to see how the wings and tail moved, but just after shaken twice, the wings were broken! "

Ding Xiang seemed to be frightened and cried even harder. "I... I was very anxious at that time, but I didn't worry much about it. I just thought that I could compensate the great empress with the money. However, several servants of Miss Lin Dan told me that the gold headpiece was a treasure that the great empress brought from her natal family. It is very spiritual and could protect the family's marriage and brings good luck. It had been passed down for nine generations. When the great empress turns a hundred years old, she would send it back to her natal family and be passed down, which signifies a special meaning. "

"I was so terrified by their words that I don't know what to do. Brother, you have to trust me. If I had known that the gold pace is so precious, I would never have touched it no matter how curious I was." Speaking of this, her tone calmed a little. "It was fortunate I have Miss Lin Dan to help me. She immediately put the box back and asked me to go home as soon as possible and pretend that nothing had happened. She went to the great empress' place to apologize and take the blame for me. The two servants didn't look good and sighed all the way while sneaked me to the corner of the door. I felt guilty in my heart, so I asked them what would happen to Miss Lin Dan. They said that Miss Lin Dan was not favored by the great empress, and now it would be even worse. She would be punished. Fortunately, Miss Lin Wan is getting married soon, and it would only take more than half a year for her to be despised by the great empress. She can endure it."

Lily rubbed her eyes and continued, "My heart doesn't feel good. Miss Lin Dan is my sister-in-law. How can I let her suffer for me? After all, the great empress was her family. Even if she is married, she still has to filial piety the great empress. If they didn't get along well with each other, it would be embarrassing for Miss Lin Dan to be with her natal family. But I'm different. I'm just an outsider. Even if the great empress despises me, it won't affect me much. So, I went back and apologized to her personally. "
