Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 856

Harper took Rolando's hand and carefully alighted from the carriage as she looked around the bustling city. Every capital that she had been in had always been full of life and devoid of fears of war. "There are so many people here," she sighed.

"This is the busiest street in here," Rolando said proudly. The two of them then walked side by side. Harper looked bright and lively in her blue-green dress while Rolando looked even more gentle and dashing in his creamy white get-up. The women and girls in the street all stood shocked and motionless at the sight of Rolando as they fixed their eyes on him. Harper didn't care, however, as she was busy looking at the stalls on both sides of the street.

"Madam, please take a look. These are not expensive but they are definitely delicate and beautifully made," a vendor said to Harper excitedly as soon as she came upon his stall. He handed a butterfly-shaped hairpin to Harper and said, "This hairpin is perfect for your dress today."

Harper took over the hairpin from him and examined it closely. The more she looked at it, the more she realized how much she liked it. Indeed, it was cheap but exquisitely made. It was too bad that she wasn't really big on showy accessories, so she put it down after looking at it for a while. Rolando, however, noticed this and walked toward the stall, picked up the hairpin, and put it on her bun. "Well, I think it really suits you quite well. I will take it."

"You have a good taste, Mister. Your wife looks so beautiful with it. And this hairpin is not expensive. It only costs one tael of silver," the vendor said.

Rolando handed a big silver ingot to the vendor and said, "Keep the change."

"Thank you, Mister. Thank you very much!" the vendor replied excitedly, ecstatic because of Rolando's generosity.

Seeing that Rolando gave the vendor ten taels of silver, Harper said, "You're so generous! He demanded one tael of silver, but you paid ten! But then no matter how rich you are, you can't spend money like that!"

Upon hearing that, Rolando smiled softly. "If it's for something I like, money will never be an issue. I am willing to spend more. After all, it's not easy to be in a good mood."

"Well, I guess you're right," Harper said as she smiled and nodded her head.

"Several days ago, I lost the jade pendant I always wore. I haven't found one that I like just as much yet, so I'm thinking that since we're out and about, would you like to choose one for me?" Rolando said suddenly.

"Sure," Harper agreed even without thinking. "But I doubt you can wear any jade pendant from a place like this. Obviously, the ones they're selling don't have very high quality."

"It's just a jade pendant. I will treasure it as long as it's chosen by you."
