Wang Mei pursed her lips and said nonchalantly, "What, is it only permissible for you to wear gold and silver but forbidden for me to have a golden bracelet?"

"I didn't say it's forbidden. I was just wondering, Auntie, you seem different nowadays, have you struck it rich?" Qiao Qingyu continued with a beaming smile.
