"You're going to trade it away?"
Seeing the displeasure in Emperor Wu Su's tone, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed to a deep, dark glint.
"No."
Holding the jade ring, Ji Qingwu quickly explained, "I was just going to pawn it. I'll get it back later."
She did like this green jade.
It was just that right now, the only valuable items she possessed were the Red Lotus Bracelet and this jade ring.
Besides, he'd told her he'd just picked it up from a street vendor. She suspected the jade was no ordinary piece, which was why she wanted to try using it in a pinch.
She did have other gold and silver jewelry; Mrs. Qiao had given her quite a bit after she returned home. But if any pieces she was known to wear were discovered at a pawn shop, it would harm her reputation and that of the Ji Family.
Ji Qingwu saw his silence, his gaze growing sharper. He seemed incredibly displeased by her actions. 'The Emperor cares this much about a little jade ring?'
She asked timidly, "I can't?"
