Chapter 38 Missing Hairpin II (1/2)
She'd never expected that this hairpin was one of the first madam's dowry, and she'd never expected that Su Qingyan would try to pull this. As she stared at the hairpin on Su Qingwen's head, she could only feel that hairpin becoming more and more bothersome. Even to the point where she wanted to immediately rip it out and throw it away.
