Chapter 2 — From Kissing Before the Big Wedding

I picked up the jade pendant and held it close to my eyes to observe carefully. Sunlight shines through the window sill on the jade pendant, but those patterns reflect onto the table in pale streaks of light. The light intertwines, vaguely forming a pattern — Coc, Coc, Coc. The pounding sound of knocking on the door interrupted my thoughts. "Eldest Miss! Eldest Miss is not good!" The panicked voice of maid Xuan Dao rang out outside the door. "Second Miss brought someone here! She said... she said she wanted to search for evidence!" My eyes turned cold. Come really fast. Chili peppers have nine billion pr. I didn't panic, put the jade pendant in my chest, then quickly took out a small porcelain vase from the bottom of my makeup box, poured out a little light yellow herbal medicine, and gently applied it to a few places on my face. Just a moment later, a few light red rashes appeared on the face in the mirror. Although not as scary as the previous "poison s /ang", it is still enough to ruin the perfection of the face. As soon as I finished, the hospital door was pushed open with a bang. To Uyen Nhi led seven or eight ladies and maids to rush in, and Vuong Thi also followed behind, showing a truly heartbroken expression. "Sister," To Uyen Nhi's eyes were red as soon as she entered, "I didn't want to believe it, but... but there are enough people and evidence... you should still reveal yourself, to avoid father's anger." I sat in front of the dressing table, without turning around. "Declaring what?" "You still pretend to be stupid!" A woman said shrilly, "After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince resigned today, he discovered that the Nine Dragon jade pendant given by the royal family was gone! Someone saw it and it was you who stole it!" I slowly turned around. New red rashes appeared, causing a flash of pride to flash across To Uyen Nhi's eyes. But when she saw my eyes clearly, her heart suddenly felt cold for no reason. Those eyes... are too cold. "Just search." I said calmly. The women immediately rushed in and started rummaging through everything. The old wardrobe was pulled out, the thin blanket was thrown to the ground, and even the dressing table drawer was completely pulled out and turned upside down. Xuan Dao was so worried that she cried: "There's nothing... there really isn't... the eldest lady can't steal things..." To Uyen Nhi pretended to advise: "Sister, if you're just temporarily confused, now take it out, I can replace you to ask for love to His Highness the Crown Prince..." Before the words were finished, a woman suddenly pulled out a bundle of cloth from under the bed. "Found it!" The bundle opened, inside was clearly a jade pendant carved with nine dragons, under the light. The sun shines with sparkling light. “It is indeed you!” Vuong Thi shouted loudly, "Nguyet Ly, you really disappoint me! Stealing something given by the royal family, this is the crime of death!" To Uyen Nhi covered her face and sobbed: "Sister, how could you do that... even if His Highness's abandonment hurts you, you can't steal things like that for revenge..." The maids and concubines stood outside the courtyard pointing and gossiping. I quietly watched this play, until they finished performing, then slowly opened my mouth: "Are you done talking yet?" Thi Vuong was stunned. "If you're done talking," I stood up, walked in front of the woman, reached out my hand to pick up the Nine Dragon jade pendant, "then I'll ask a few questions." I held up the jade pendant in the sunlight, observed it carefully for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing. "First, His Highness the Crown Prince's Nine Dragon jade pendant, made from Hoa Dien white jade, is warm and gentle. like grease." My fingers gently stroked the surface of the jade. "As for this piece, although it is delicately crafted, the jade is hard, the light is opaque - this is just a low-grade Xiu jade." I brought the jade pendant in front of Vuong Thi. "Mother has been the housekeeper for many years, surely it is not to the point that even the grade of the jade cannot be distinguished?" Vuong Thi's expression changed slightly. "Second," I turned to the woman who had "found" the jade pendant, "you said this jade block was found under my bed. But under my bed there is thick dust

an inch, so why is this cloth wrapped clean, without a speck of dust?" The woman stammered: "I... I..." "Third, is also the most interesting thing." I took out a stack of letters from my chest and gently shook them out. As soon as To Uyen Nhi saw those letters, her face immediately turned as white as paper. "This is what I picked up this morning behind the fake mountain in the flower garden." I said calmly, "it seems to be a love letter from someone secretly passing by." "The person who signed it was 'Uyen Nhi', and at the end of each reply letter, there was the seal of His Highness the Crown Prince." I pulled out a letter at the top and read clearly: "Uyen Nhi, the person I love, after I divorce, I will definitely make you the Crown Princess..." I lightly clicked my tongue. "What a deep and meaningful love." The whole yard fell into silence. To Uyen Nhi's whole body trembled and tried to pounce to grab it, but I gently dodged it. "These letters are much more interesting than that block of fake jade." I put the letter back. "Or should we come together in front of father now and present all of these things so that he can judge?" "No!" To Uyen Nhi shouted. "It's fake! It's you who faked it!" "Whether it's fake or not, you'll know just by looking." I pressed it step by step. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's private seal, not everyone who wants to fake it can do it. Or should we go directly to Dong Cung to confront?" Vuong Thi quickly held To Uyen Nhi, who was almost limp, and forced a smile: "Nguyet Ly, this... must be a misunderstanding... Uyen Nhi is still young, she doesn't understand..." "Small?"
