Chapter 1065 – Gown

“Jia Bao, why did I sleep for so long? Did I not visit the Clan Patriarch?” Huan Qing Yan felt that something was not right.

Bai Li Jia Bao’s smile froze for a moment but it quickly returned to normal: “Now that you have brought it up, you traveled through the garden to meet my grandfather, but how come you triggered a trap? You were knocked unconscious by the poisonous gas released by the trap. Had I not remembered that I wanted to tell my grandfather something, I would not have found you in time to close the trap and to feed you an antidote. The situation would have been very serious had that happened! You would have needed at least a month to recuperate, if that happens, it would likely delay your engagement ceremony. You are too careless!”

Huan Qing Yan blinked, is that what happened?

She was not familiar with the Bai Li Clan, it was possible that she had unknowingly triggered a trap.

No wonder she felt a mix of cold and warm sensations, it was likely the feeling of being poisoned and being given the antidote after that.

Just that, why did she suddenly feel a sense of resistance and disgust when the engagement ceremony was mentioned? Did she not prepare her heart for this?

However, this small anomaly was quickly ignored by Huan Qing Yan; she wanted to ask a couple more questions but Bai Li Jia Bao shifted the topic by ordering the serving girls to feed her water and to get them to deliver food, saying that she was still weak and that she has to sleep after giving her a bowl of Calming Mind Soup.

Looking as though she was rather unwilling to discuss more on the matter.

Huan Qing Yan was still suspicious, but when her body started turning soft and her mind started to turn fuzzy, she had to give up as well.

Her brain was still experiencing a dull ache. She got the serving girls to heat up water for a hot bath and felt refreshed after the session.

After having her breakfast, she heard the serving girl announced that Lord Sage and Lord Clan Patriarch had sent someone who was waiting outside for her.

Huan Qing Yan got the serving girl to bring the person in, it was a close aide of the Crazy Sage, the person respectfully greeted Huan Qing Yan upon seeing her: “Lady Qing Yan, Lord Sage, and Lord Clan Patriarch had ordered me to inform you that the betrothal gifts have arrived today. Also along with the gifts is the Engagement Gown. Hope Lady will perform a fitting and if it is not to your satisfaction, we will get it adjusted.”

Huan Qing Yan frowned as an unwilling feeling welled up in her heart. For some unknown reason, she suddenly no longer desires the engagement. However, things have reached such a point that she could not turn back on her words as well.

She only nodded in agreement.

The Crazy Sage’s closed aide clapped his hand and several guards walked in; they were carrying several treasure chests made of purple wood and they placed them in the building.

One could see that these chests were expensive just from their appearance. When the serving girls nearby saw such precious items, they could not help but to utter their amazement and were giving their congratulations to Huan Qing Yan.

Huan Qing Yan casually waved her hand to indicate for the guards to leave.

The serving girls had gotten more daring by then because Huan Qing Yan had been treating them pretty well despite her cold attitude every day. They started to circle around the chests, giggling and laughing as they looked at them.

“It is no wonder the Shang Qiu Clan bears the same fame as our Bai Li Clan, just look at the workmanship of these chests, the jewels used to decorate it. It is truly a large sum!”

“Right? They naturally have to show their sincerity if they want to marry the Young Lady!”

......

The serving girls opened up the chests while they held a discussion.

The shine of gems and jewels colored the area the instant the chests were opened, making the entire building appear a few shades brighter.

The serving girls looked at the gown in awe, envy coloring each of their eyes.
