LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 60: Chapter 60) more expensive and rare piece of jewelry.
"Then why didn't you returned it back?" Before old Madam Gu say something or ask something, Madam Shen's mocking question boomed in Madam Yun's ears and she gritted her teeth to keep her emotion in control.
Although it was disrespectful, speaking before elders and interrupting them but because old Madam Gu also wanted to ask the same question, she didn't called Madam Shen out at her eagerness but didn't forgot to shot a glare towards her.
Feeling old Madam Gu's cold gaze on herself, Madam Shen couldn't help but shuddered.
"Please, forgive me, mother, for my eagerness." Realizing her mistake, Madam Shen immediately took initiative to bow and apologise and directed her gaze back at Madam Yun.
That smug look on Madam Shen's face made Madam Yun grind her teeth in anger and in frustration but soon it turned into a sorrow one, her eyes became red and filled with tears.
Madam Yun pitifuly bit her lower lip as if holding something back and then took a deep, long breath as if to calm herself and eventually gave in to the situation.
Madam Yun shook her head showing her helplessness as she resigned herself to fate. She gave Madam Shen an apologetic and helpless look.
Madam Shen was perplexed getting such look from Madam Yun.
She frowned and looked at Madam Yun in bewilderment: "..."
'Why are you looking at me like that as if you did what you did because of me?' Madam Shen thought to herself but didn't voice it out, patiently waiting for Madam Yun to finish her excuse before refuting her dragging her back in this mess not knowing that the moment Madam Yun would open her mouth she would be the one to be dragged in mess.
Madam Yun closed her eyes in resignation and took a deep breath to steady her heart and clear her mind.
When she opened her eyes again, her eyes looked as refreshed as the mountain after rain with her eyelashes wet and fluttering.
"Mother, belive me, I'm telling the truth. I really intended to only admire that red coral headpiece of yours for a while before returning it back but before since I had taken it without your permission, I felt like a thief and always felt guilty and feared that someone would notice me with that red coral headpiece if I took it out casually when putting back in it's place. I was waiting for right moment when no one notice me but before I could find a right time, you already knew that missing piece of your jewelery. I very much wanted to come forward and tell you that your headpiece was with me but I feared mother would misunderstood me just like eldest sister-in-law did." Madam Yun lowered her head and confessed her story while choking and sobbing as if a heavy stone was pressed on her heart since that day and she been living in guilt all this while.
"Mother, please forgive this unruly daughter-in-law of yours. I swear, after that one time I've never done such things again." After apologising again and again Madam Yun finally raised her three fingers towards the heavens and swore about the truth of her explanation.
Gu Tianhao at the side also felt what his wife was was making sense.
As a woman it was normal for her be fascinated by a piece of good jewelery and the reason and situation she mentioned was also reasonable for her to not return the jewelery.
He stepped forward and knelt beside his wife and begged his mother to forgive his wife: "I know mother, Madam had made a mistake. She shouldn't have had taken your jewelery without your permission but as a woman I hope you could understand her feelings for that piece jewelery and doesn't it also prove that you have such fine jewelery that my Madam couldn't help but take it look at for a while more?" Gu Tianhao chuckled at the end as joked about the jewelery.
"As it was her first time mistake, see, mother, if you could let her off for my sake? I promise I'll make Madam to return your headpiece immediately and as compensation, if you want, I can have someone made a more expensive and rare piece of jewelry for you." Gu Tianhao said confidently and then attentively added, "What do you think mother?"
Gu Tianhao was really a good husband for Madam Yun. So caring, so loving, going as far as to beg his own mother to forgive his wife and then willing to spend so much silver to appease his mother and end any grudges that could be formed between his mother and his wife because of a piece of jewelry.
But at this moment, Madam Yun was gnashing her teeth and internally glaring at this fool of her husband.
She had spent so much effort to take out a fine piece of jewelry.
Even after being exposed, she didn't forgot to press on the fact that she appreciated and adored that red coral headpiece very much, hoping in heart that old Madam would understand her feelings and pity her and let her have that headpiece but who would have thought that this overfilial of her husband would offer her to return her hard-earned jewelery just like that.
And not only that one piece of jewelery but one more and the new one would be more expensive and more rare.
Wouldn't it have be fine to just returned the jewelery that she had taken and give the one to her to make up for loses.
Enraged at the injustice, Madam Yun could only swallow her anger and put a pitiful look at her last chance of having her precious headpiece and said in a choked voice: "Yes mother. Please forgive me for this once. I'll immediately call someone to bring your headpiece back." As Madam Yun said this she looked towards her personal nanny, mother Zhang and was about to order her but old Madam waved her hand and Interrupted her and said:
