Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The tenth prince, Gu Ziliang, walked behind Gu Nuo’er and protected his sister in front of him.

This was to prevent too many people from bumping into her.

The siblings didn’t notice that a few burly men with cold eyes were glancing at Gu Nuo’er from time to time.

They looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other’s eyes—

Princess Yaoguang’s older brother was holding onto her too tightly. They would probably have to knock him out before they could snatch her away.

The rich merchant reached out his hand that was wearing a gold and jade ring and picked antiques from the stall.

Gu Nuo’er seemed to be looking at the dazzling array of goods casually. Her small mouth was open and her eyes were watery.

She sighed. “Wow, these things are all so beautiful. They must be very expensive, right?”

The stall owner immediately bragged, “Of course. This lowly one traveled everywhere and immediately bought the good items when I saw them.

“Putting aside other things, at least on this antique street, no one’s goods can be better than mine!”

Gu Nuo’er raised a glass cup and looked up.

The stall owner quickly said, “Oh my, Young Miss, you have to be careful not to smash it.”

Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes and said in a soft and innocent voice, “If it’s fake, your heart won’t ache even if it shatters.”

The stall owner immediately put on a stern expression and said seriously, “I never accept fake goods! The items sold here are all authentic.”

“There’s the largest antique shop in the capital at the front of this street. The old masters there all have sharp eyes. If Young Miss doesn’t believe me, you can buy my things and appraise them!”

Gu Nuo’er secretly curled her lips and a cold snort flashed across her watery eyes.

Asking her to go bring the items to get appraised. After the payment is completed, he’ll definitely run away!

The rich merchant was very hesitant while taking his pick.

In the end, he picked up a small carved bronze mirror with a circle of rubies.

“My wife likes to dress up. This is just right for her.” The rich merchant sized up the item and revealed a satisfied smile.

When the stall owner saw this, he quickly cupped his hands and smiled. “Master, you have good taste! There’s also a moving legend about this bronze mirror.

“A hundred years ago, before a general went out to war, he gave this beautiful bronze mirror to his sweetheart.

“The two of them made a promise with the mirror. If the general were to return victorious, he would definitely marry that girl.

“The young lady waited for many years and finally waited for the day the general returned! The two of them had a beautiful and harmonious ending, spending their life together.

“This bronze mirror was sold by their descendants. Now that it’s in my hands, it’s still well-preserved.

“Look, these rubies are all the size of a thumb. They’re beautiful and exquisite! It’s not a loss to buy them!”

The more the stall owner spoke, the more excited he became. This time, he raised six fingers.

“6,000 taels. I can’t go any cheaper with this. This lowly one worked hard to buy it. Master, you’re deeply in love with Madam. This money is definitely worth it.”

Gu Ziliang frowned.

It was said that all crafty people were businessmen. This was originally an extremely ordinary mirror.

When the stall owner heard that the rich merchant was going to buy it for his wife, he knew that he had needs and directly offered a high price.

It was obvious that he was trying to rip people off.

The rich merchant was probably not short of money either. He immediately continued to count the silver notes to buy the mirror together with the painting.

Unexpectedly, Gu Nuo’er’s soft hand immediately pressed on the back of the rich merchant’s hand.

She blinked her watery eyes and said, “rich merchant uncle, if you want to buy beautiful mirrors, there are many good mirror shops in front of the street. You can go and choose them freely.

“If you have to spend 6,000 taels to buy a mirror for the so-called touching legend of love, you’ll suffer a huge loss.”
