If the Duke of Qin’s estate is poor, that means the Duke of Qin is poor, too!
Was it really alright to say that to the man’s face?
How much silver had His Highness Duke of Qin donated for the relief efforts? How many gold cards without spending limits did he possess? How many mountain villas and parks? His Highness Duke of Qin never even had a government-issued salary or used the imperial treasury, but how many men were under his command?
Who else could claim that the Duke of Qin was poor besides that wretched Han Yunxi?!
Long Feiye’s mouth twitched, but he disregarded Han Yunxi’s words. Meanwhile, everyone else was in silent uproar over the words. Empress Dowager Li was among them. All of them were staring at the jade crystal bracelet on Han Yunxi’s wrist. Amazement wasn’t enough to describe the expressions on their faces. Earthshaking was more like it!
The jade crystal bracelet was bright and limpid like water without a hint of impurities. A faint violent-white light shimmered from its depths, as beautiful as an illusory dream. All of the women with a right to sit in the empress dowager’s palace had scintillating tastes. They could tell the quality of Han Yunxi’s bracelet with just one look.
That was jade crystal! Cloud Realm Continent’s rarest stone, more precious than gold, jade, and luminous-night pearls! Moreover, the violet-white strain in Han Yunxi’s bracelet is the rarest type, easily worth the value of several cities!
Even now, the largest jade crystal stone found was only the size of a thumb and currently resided in the ring of Northern Li’s emperor. The discovery of the raw, uncut stone had led to a hubbub across the continent. But one could well imagine the original size of the stone used to make Han Yunxi’s jade crystal bracelet.
A bracelet! Compared to other forms of jewelry, it needed the most raw materials. Naturally, a jade crystal bracelet had to be made from a chunk of jade crystal bigger than the bracelet itself. Moreover, the material had to be flawless without blemish like the finished product. When they imagined the sheer size of the jade crystal used to make this bracelet, they lost track of just how valuable the jewelry was!
And yet, something so unfathomable was resting on Han Yunxi’s wrist, its shimmering light an unmistakable proof of its quality. Nothing could counterfeit that particular type of sparkle.
So in that case…how in the world is the Duke of Qin’s estate poor? How is it poor? HOW IS IT POOR?!
