Chu Jiu had not expected Li Tong'er to try bribing her so openly.
The wish Li Tong'er mentioned was probably her goal of becoming His Majesty's woman.
Just the thought of this filled Chu Jiu with disdain.
She could not understand how a woman so full of herself could exist.
With Chu Jiu's temperament, she would usually have turned to leave immediately, but when she recalled the tactics Her Highness often employed, Chu Jiu stopped herself and said instead, "How do you plan to remember me?"
Li Tong'er gave this some thought and said, "Please give me a moment, Respected Miss." She turned to look around her, and when she was certain no one was paying any attention, she quickly nipped into the room.
Within moments, she returned with a palm-sized box. She approached Chu Jiu and passed the box to her. "This is a humble gift that I hope you will accept, Respected Miss."
