When the waiter saw this, he almost did not manage to catch his breath. He could tell that Su Nuo did not have much money with a single glance, but he never expected her to be so poor.
Su Nuo saw that the little fellow was silent and felt very uneasy. She asked weakly, "Can I?"
The waiter snappily replied, "Just go pick one yourself. All the people there are worth one tael of silver and two taels of silver. " He pointed to the cabinet in the corner and ignored Su Nuo.
Su Nuo walked over. Even if she didn't understand jade, she would be able to see the difference between the previous and the current situation. However, she was already very happy and could at least buy one.
That's right, she could buy one for her master for one tael of silver! Thinking of this, Su Nuo felt as if her entire body was on fire, and she could not control the heat in her hands.
There were a lot of inferior jade pendants on the cabinet. Other than the inferior jade, everything else was still very exquisite.
Su Nuo earnestly searched through a pile of jade pendants for two. One of them was carved with Peace, while the other one had nothing. With the two jade pendants in hand, Su Nuo paid the bill. The shopkeeper paid the bill without hesitation, but Su Nuo did not leave.
The shopkeeper opened his mouth and asked, "Miss, what else do you want?"
Su Nuo cautiously opened her mouth and said, "About that, there are no words on this. I, I want to carve a word on it, is that okay?" Su Nuo looked at the shopkeeper expectantly.
The shopkeeper waved his hand, "That won't do. We need money to engrave the words here."
Su Nuo did not know what to do, but she really wanted to carve her master's name on it. This was the first thing she had given to her master, and she did not want to lack any sincerity.
The shopkeeper frowned. "Lady, you should leave."
Su Nuo clenched her hands. "Just one word. I don't have any money, so how about this hairpin?" Su Nuo took the hairpin off her head.
This hairpin was not worth much, just like all the decorations of the servants.
The shopkeeper looked at Su Nuo's expression and finally let out a sigh. "Forget it, I'll carve it for you. I don't want this hairpin, take it back."
"Thank you, thank you." Su Nuo was very excited.
The shopkeeper passed the jade pendant to his assistant, "Hurry up and carve it." After a pause, he asked Su Nuo, "What word does that lady want to carve?"
"Cold." Without thinking, Su Nuo answered.
"Hurry up." Su Nuo was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She could only look at the shopkeeper excitedly. The shopkeeper was a little uncomfortable from her stare. "Lady, is this for the one you love?"
Su Nuo froze, and then her face turned red as if she was about to bleed. The shopkeeper understood immediately, but he only smiled gently and said, "To be a girl's lover, he must be a happy person."
The waiter had finished carving and gave it to the shopkeeper. The storekeeper gave it to Su Nuo, who could only repeat the words of thanks. The manager said with a smile, "I hope that the lady will be able to live with the person you love forever."
Su Nuo did not know how she managed to walk out of the store. However, even after she returned to the palace, the shopkeeper's words were still constantly repeated in her mind.
He looks like a friend, never leaving! Su Nuo couldn't help but tighten her grip on the jade pendant with the word 'cold' carved on it. She didn't want any of these things, she just wanted to stay by her master's side for the rest of her life.
Su Nuo returned to the Royal Mansion and was not obstructed. It seemed that it was the time of the shift. There was a small gap in between them that allowed her to enter the Royal Mansion safely.
Su Nuo snuck back into the cabin, took out the two little jade pendants, and put them on the table. These two little jade pendants were exactly the same, just that the words engraved on them were different.
Su Nuo was about to send a small pendant to Duke Bei Chen to hide in a small box, then picked up something to give Bei Chen Han and put it into her sleeve before going to work.
Bei Chen Han came back a little late, and it was time for dinner. Su Nuo waited for him to finish his meal, but her entire mind was focused on that little jade pendant. She didn't know if it was due to nervousness or excitement, but she wanted to see what expression her master would have when he received her present.
Bei Chen Han sat on the chair, his gaze fell on Su Nuo's face, which looked as though he was deep in thought, and said: "Xiao'er, what are you thinking about? How could you be so lost in thought?"
Su Nuo was shocked awake and shook her head, but when she shook it halfway, she peeked at Bei Chen Han's expression. It was not hard to see that Bei Chen Han was in a good mood, Su Nuo gripped his sleeves tightly, swallowed his saliva and said: "Master, master, I have something to give master." After saying that, he didn't even dare to look at it anymore.
Bei Chen Han put down the cup in his hand, his face showing some interest, "Oh, what do you want to give me?"
Su Nuo quickly took out the little jade pendant, but she was too anxious to take it out. Su Nuo was so anxious that her face was flushed red and her forehead was covered with sweat.
Bei Chen Han's gaze became more and more playful, as though he was enjoying a scene.
Finally, Su Nuo took out the little jade pendant and handed it to Bei Chenhan, "This, this is something that Xiao'er wants to give master."
Bei Chen Han took the little jade pendant from Su Nuo's hands and looked at it slowly, but did not say anything. Time passed slowly. Su Nuo had never felt that time was so long, but she still didn't dare to look at her master's expression.
But, right now, she suddenly feared that she had overestimated herself and dared to give her master such a cheap and inferior thing. It was also at this moment that she started to hate herself, why is it that she is only a lowly slave girl and not a child of a rich family, if that were the case, she could give her master something even more expensive and better.
That's right, her master was noble and elegant. He should have obtained the best and most expensive treasure in the world, not such a vile thing.
Su Nuo could no longer raise her head and whispered, "If Master doesn't like it, then … just throw it away."
"Who said I don't like it anymore?" Bei Chen Han kept the little jade pendant in his hand. Su Nuo suddenly raised her head and looked at Bei Chen Han with disbelief in her eyes. Bei Chen Han picked Su Nuo up and hugged her, then whispered into Su Nuo's ear, "I can't believe my Na'er gave me such a gift. She even carved my name on it."
Su Nuo's face turned even redder as she stuttered, "Master! Master!"
"Call me cold." The voice was low, like it was bewitching.
Su Nuo was once again surprised. She looked a little like a frightened little white rabbit. Bei Chen Han's large palm covered Su Nuo's hand, gently playing with her: "Xiao'er?"
Su Nuo felt her head turn hot and shouted, "Cool."
Beichen laughed: "My Na'er is so obedient, even after searching the entire world, I still can't find anyone as obedient as her."
Su Nuo said nothing.
Bei Chenhan continued, "So, you have to behave yourself in the future, understand?"
Su Nuo nodded meekly.
However, Beichen's good mood seemed to have only lasted one night, and when he woke up the next day, his expression was not looking too good. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Bei Chen Han was expressionless, but Su Nuo could tell with a glance that her master was not in a good mood.
Su Nuo served Bei Chen Han carefully, but Bei Chen Han suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Nore."
Su Nuo quickly replied, "Master, what are your orders?"
Bei Chen Han looked at Su Nuo, and said irrefutably: "In a while when we get out, you're not allowed to talk to that damned Duke Bei Chen, do you understand?"
"Yes, I know."
Bei Chen Han nodded his head in satisfaction: "That's great, if I see what happened between Nou'er and that damnable Lord Bei Chen, then Nuo'er will know the consequences."
Su Nuo only felt her body stiffen as she replied, "Nope, not like that."
Bei Chenhan responded, "Xiao'er went to change her clothes. I've specially ordered this for Xiao'er. It must fit her very well."
Su Nuo paused, then said, "Thank you, Master." So it turned out that her master had specially ordered clothes for her. She had never even dreamed of such a thing!
Beichen turned to leave, but when he reached the door, he said, "Xiao'er, hurry. I'll wait for Xiao'er in the carriage." As he spoke, he left.
When Su Nuo saw the new set of clothes, an indescribable feeling surged through her heart. It was a set of light blue dress. It wasn't gorgeous, but more of it was clean and clean.
Su Nuo's fingertips touched the clothes, each of them trembling a little. But when she thought of her master waiting for her outside, she quickly changed her clothes. Before she could look at herself, Su Nuo quickly went to the small jade pendant that was to be given to the Duke of Beichen.
"Elder sister, you're here." When Xue Rou saw Su Nuo, she shouted sweetly.
Su Nuo froze. She didn't think that Xue Rou could also go and smiled.
When Bei Chenghan saw Su Nuo enter, his light blue dress set off the clear white skin on Su Nuo's body. She was like a fairy that had bloomed in water, not beautiful at all. He raised his hand and pulled Su Nuo into his embrace. "Xiao'er, you look really good."
Xue Rou's face flashed with a trace of gloom, but it quickly disappeared.
Su Nuo's face instantly turned red. She knew that Xue Rou was watching right now, so she didn't know what to do. She wanted to reach out to push her, but she didn't dare. She could only lower her head and whisper, "Master, master, or —"
Without waiting for Su Nuo to finish, Bei Chen Han hugged Su Nuo even more tightly, and the playful look on his face became even more pronounced: "Holding Nuo'er is so comfortable." As he said that, he buried his face into Su Nuo's neck and breathed in her scent as if there was no one around. He then used the tip of his tongue to sweep over Su Nuo's neck maliciously.
Su Nuo felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She did not know what to do, so she could only bite her lip and lower her head even further.
Bei Chen Han looked at Su Nuo's expression and smiled in satisfaction. He bit Su Nuo's ear and said, "Wait a moment, Nore needs to put on a good act."
Su Nuo lowered her face and nodded.
The Third Marquis' Mansion was undoubtedly quite lively today. In fact, even in normal times, the Third Marquis' Mansion was extremely noisy.
Su Nuo had never been here before. When she saw the people who went in and out, she was stunned for a moment. She felt that she had never seen so many people in her life before. It was as if she wanted to flatten this huge palace.
Bei Chen Han walked over and held Su Nuo's hand tightly, as if telling everyone that this was his, Bei Chen Han's men, and that no one else was allowed to think about it.
Xue Rou was at the back, looking at the two tightly clasped hands, she bit down hard on her lips, but her face did not reveal any of her emotions, and she just followed behind Bei Chen Han, entering.
Upon entering, Su Nuo saw Duke Bei Chen standing in the middle. He was dressed in a bright yellow robe with a lifelike dragon embroidered on it. It was clear that he had changed into a different person.
However, the smile on his face had always been there. No matter what the people around him said or did, he was still smiling.
Actually, long ago, Su Nuo had felt that even though her master and the Third Marquis were half-brothers, their personalities were completely different.
The Third Marquis had always been a cheerful person, and his smile was rarely seen. However, he was also a carefree person with an unruly personality, always taking action on matters of interest to himself. However, it seemed that in the Third Marquis' eyes, the woman who came out was still a woman!
However, his master's words were like those of a cold-hearted person. He never liked to laugh, and his master had always been very deep in his heart. One wouldn't be able to tell his master's mood just by looking at his face. However, her master was extremely specific to his feelings.
Su Nuo turned her head to look at Bei Chen Han, only to see him looking emotionlessly at the lively scene not too far away. Su Nuo smiled, turned her head, and quietly stood beside Bei Chen Han.
