Chapter 323: Beheading?
"Damn it, when will I finally get out of here?!"
Liu Yunwei kicked the fence and felt a sharp pain in her toe. She quickly covered her foot, too painful to speak.
When Liu's father and the others arrived, they saw this scene. They had hoped that Liu Yunwei could help them get out of their predicament, but who would have thought that her situation was even worse than theirs!
"Yunwei, why did you steal the immunity token? Was it to save us?"
Mr. Liu looked puzzled. After thinking it over, he realized that this was the only possibility. He couldn't help but say, "How could you be so foolish? This is just a minor offense. We don't need a get-out-of-jail-free card at all."
You've actually ruined yourself over this; you're so foolish!
Seeing that everyone from the Liu family had arrived, Liu Yunwei remembered what Grand Tutor Gu had said yesterday and angrily said, "It was you who exposed my true identity."
Originally, I would have gotten away with stealing the get-out-of-jail-free card, but it's all your fault for revealing my true identity. That's why my father is so heartless!
The Liu family felt wronged and a little guilty upon hearing this.
"Yunwei, listen to your mother. We didn't expect this either. It was that little bitch Song Ruozhen who figured out that we weren't Ruyan's biological parents. There was nothing we could do!"
As soon as Liu's mother woke up, she heard Liu Yunwei's words and quickly began to explain.
However, Liu Yunwei wouldn't listen at all, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't alerted the Song family, how could Song Ruozhen have thought of this?"
"Sister, it was you who told us to cause trouble during Song Yanzhou's wedding. All these things happened after we went there."
In retrospect, it was you who ruined us.
Liu Feiyan pouted; her face still stung from the slap her father had given her earlier.
Taking this opportunity, she made it clear that it was all Liu Yunwei's idea and had nothing to do with her!
"I harmed you? I only made a suggestion, and besides, didn't you do it because you thought my suggestion was good?"
Liu Yunwei didn't care at all, "Stop talking about that, hurry up and think of a way to get me out of here, I don't want to stay in this place!"
When Liu Feiyan saw that Liu Yunwei had glossed over the matter as if it had nothing to do with her, she was so angry that she couldn't speak. It was clearly Liu Yunwei's bad idea, but how could she say it as if it had nothing to do with her at all!
"Yunwei, we can't save you. Stealing the gold medal is a capital offense," Liu's father said gravely.
If it's a minor offense, pleading with someone might still be helpful, but if it's a capital offense, what can be done once the emperor has issued the order?
"What did you say?" Liu Yunwei's eyes widened in disbelief. "A capital offense?"
Everyone nodded. "His Majesty has already given the order to be executed in three days."
Liu Yunwei couldn't help but think of Lin Ruolan being beheaded a few days ago. Now it was her turn?
……
After Chu Junting informed the Song family of the news, and the Song family members were relieved, he then looked at Song Ruozhen and asked, "Do you have any plans for today?"
"No." Song Ruozhen shook her head slightly, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your Highness, when will you depart for Jiangnan?"
"Father Emperor just finalized this matter today, but the specific time has not yet been set," Chu Junting said.
"The Sixth Princess's birthday is in a few days. Will you be able to attend?" Song Ruozhen asked.
Chu Junting pondered for a moment, "It should be enough time."
"I want to go for a stroll in the streets and pick out a gift for the Sixth Princess."
Song Ruozhen had bright, clear eyes. From the first time they met, Chu Muyao had been extremely kind to her. Now that it was Song Ruozhen's birthday, she naturally had to prepare a birthday gift for her.
Chu Junting raised an eyebrow. "Alright, I'll go with you."
Looking at the man beside her, Song Ruozhen smiled and nodded, and the two went to the Imperial City Street together.
"Girls love jewelry the most, shall we go to a jewelry shop and take a look?"
Song Ruozhen smiled. Most girls like similar things, and jewelry is something you can never have too much of.
Chu Junting noticed that her bright, moist eyes curved into crescents as she spoke, as if they could speak. Looking at her engrossed expression, he felt as if he had been bewitched.
No matter what she said, he wanted to say yes.
Yunyang looked at his usually cold and aloof prince, who was now smiling every now and then, and felt a sense of awe.
"Ever since the prince met Miss Song, he has truly become completely different."
Chenxiang smiled happily and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you also think that the Prince and our young lady are a good match?"
Yunyang glanced at Chenxiang and nodded, "They are indeed a good match!"
The two walked behind in perfect unison, keeping a distance from their master. Looking at the handsome couple before them, they were overjoyed.
Jin Yutang.
The largest jewelry shop in the imperial city has everything a woman could want, from hairpins and necklaces to bracelets and cosmetics.
Song Ruozhen strolled around and her gaze fell on a pair of red hairbands.
The red headband was embroidered with several small butterflies in gold thread. They were not very noticeable, but they were quite exquisite.
"This hairband... is it made of top-grade ice silkworm silk?"
She picked up the hairband and noticed that it had an extraordinary feel to it, like water and satin, and it shimmered under the sunlight.
"Young lady, you have excellent taste. This hairband is indeed made of top-quality ice silkworm silk, a water-reflective satin, and it feels incredibly smooth to the touch."
Ice silk is difficult to dye, let alone this exceptionally beautiful red. Even the tiny butterfly on it was painstakingly embroidered by the artisan.
Song Ruozhen had memories of the original owner's business dealings, so she naturally knew the value of these things.
"No wonder it's so expensive for just two hairbands."
Hairbands are usually not as expensive as hairpins and jewelry, but this hairband is much more expensive than jewelry. However, considering its features, it is definitely worth it.
"You like it?" Chu Junting walked over and asked.
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "This hairband is indeed very beautiful and of excellent quality, but the Sixth Princess doesn't usually like to wear hairbands, so I'll choose something else for her."
Seeing Song Ruozhen turn and walk towards the counter inside, Chu Junting's gaze fell on the cherry blossom-colored hair ribbon on the woman's head, and then he looked down at the hair ribbon on the table.
"Wrap it up."
"Very well, Your Highness has excellent taste. This hairband suits you perfectly."
The shopkeeper, all smiles, wrapped up the hairband and handed it to Chu Junting.
Chu Junting looked at the brocade box in his hand, a smile spreading across his eyes, and put it away.
Song Ruozhen took a fancy to a pair of hairpins made of fine sapphires, which reflected a bright light in the sunlight.
Although she didn't meet the Sixth Princess often, she noticed that the princess liked to wear blue, and this pair of hairpins was undoubtedly the perfect match.
Seeing Chu Junting approach, Song Ruozhen smiled and said, "Your Highness, what do you think of this gift? Will the Sixth Princess like it?"
Chu Junting looked at the gift and said, "She will definitely like what you chose."
"That's it! Wrap it up for me."
