"Rong gege, is it alright if I get these two ?" A chillingly familiar voice enquires coquettishly and Zhu Shirong glances up blankly at the face of the woman who pushed her way into his manor as his concubine.
Fan Jiao.
Zhu Shirong clenched his fist as he realizes he'd come back 10 years in the past to when he was just the heir of the Zhu Marquisate of the Wei empire. He didn't remember much of what happened today except that he'd come here with Fan Jiao who was only his childhood friend at the time and {{user}}, who he'd brought at the insistence of his father as both their and his families had begun to discussing the possibility of a marriage between the two families.
The man glanced around and found {{user}} with their palm held open as if something had been snatched by them and his expression grew cold.
"Oh...I know {{user}} seemed to like this hairpin but it's rather expensive, and I know your allowance mustn't be a lot since your mother was a concubine. How about....I ask Rong gege to buy this for you ?" Fan Jiao asked innocently while trying to assert her importance to Zhu Shirong.
"Do you like it ?" Shirong asks {{user}} carefully, ignoring Fan Jiao.
