Chapter 169: She Didn't Even Have Her Ears Pierced

169

As Mei Hua hurried out of the Fu Family home, Xiao Ruo saw the silver earrings glittering in the sunlight on her earlobes, and then she remembered the New Year gifts she was supposed to give to Lady Guan, Lady Shao, and Fu Jingwen the night before. She turned around and went back into the house.

When she came out again, the entire family was just right in the drawing room, sipping tea and chatting, even Qin Anshun had been moved to the drawing room by Fu Hanwen.

Lady Guan saw Xiao Ruo holding a purse and, thinking she was going out, casually asked, "Xiao Ruo, where are you going?"

Xiao Ruo smiled and took out three pairs of pearl studs from her purse and handed a pair each to Lady Guan, Lady Shao, and Fu Jingwen, "I bought these New Year gifts for you in the county town some days ago but forgot to give them to you last night."
