Luo Mingzhu looked at Loo Ying, who was dressed in riches, and then at Yueyao, who was modestly clad with only a few jade ornaments, a flicker of interest crossing her eyes.
Upon learning that it was the Heir's Wife and the young lady from Marquis Jingning's Residence, Loo Ying's eyes lit up with an eager light. After all, Marquis Jingning's Household was one of the most powerful and prestigious in the Capital City.
Madam Ping, having seen all sorts of people, recognized the glint in Loo Ying's eyes and knew her temperament. Madam Ping smiled and plucked a gold hairpin from her hair to give to Loo Ying as a meeting gift, chiefly out of regard for Zhuang Ruolan.
Loo Ying's face filled with joy.
Ruo Lan sighed softly beside her. Yueyao had received a valuable Jade Bracelet but did not wish to keep it, whereas Loo Ying was so thrilled over such a single gold hairpin—the stark difference was immediately apparent.
