Chapter 394: Why do you also have that jade pendant?

It howled in fright and ran wildly with all four paws.

  The lynx followed the black cat, chasing after it, jumping up and down, and the palace people passing by all exclaimed in surprise.

  Shen Ningning asked the palace attendant to stop the sedan chair, and she walked out slowly.

  "Hmph, who doesn't have a cat yet?" She originally wanted to bring the Black Wolf King here today.

  But then I thought about how she could lead a wolf against a cat.

  So, I caught a cute little creature from the forest.

  The lynx was about to catch up with the black cat in a few steps, and their figures immediately climbed over the wall.

  Sudden!

  Shen Ningning heard a female scream coming from next door.

  As the palace people shouted: "Oh no, come here quickly, Concubine Qi has fallen into the lake!" When

  the bearer next to Shen Ningning heard this, he suddenly became frightened.

  "Oh no, the lynx scared Concubine Qi into the water?"

  "Will the emperor punish us..."

  After all, the emperor and the prince would definitely be reluctant to scold the princess.

  But they may not.

  Shen Ningning's big, moist and dark eyes were calm.

  "What are you afraid of? Let's go and take a look. It's hot today and we can't drown her."

  Besides, even if she drowns, Concubine Qi, a bad person, deserves what she deserves!

  Shen Ningning walked through the hanging flower door in front with her little feet.

  Her lynx had already held the cat named Black Fox in its mouth, and blood was dripping down its sharp fangs.

  The lynx didn't eat, it just played. When it saw Shen Ningning coming, it ran over decisively with the black cat in its mouth.

  As if asking for credit, he placed the "trophy" in front of her little feet.

  The black cat no longer dared to move, and the two shallow blood holes on its belly made it tremble with pain.

  After those green cat eyes saw Shen Ningning, they no longer had the arrogance they had before.

  Instead, he was afraid.

  "Be good." Shen Ningning raised her little hand and rubbed the lynx's big round head.

  She looked forward. Not far away, by the Qinxin Lake, the wet Concubine Qi was fished out by palace officials.

  The bearer found out more about it and came over to report in a low voice.

  "Your Highness, Concubine Qi was walking by the lake just now. Unexpectedly, the black cat jumped into Concubine Qi's arms, and the lynx chased her so hard that Concubine Qi jumped into the lake."

  Shen Ningning's pink lips Petal snorted twice.

  Are you afraid of this?

  She hasn't said anything about Concubine Qi's black cat, which has tried to hurt her several times!

  Over there, Concubine Qi was soaked to the skin, and she had long lost her previous dignity.

  "Where's my pendant? My pendant fell into the lake!" She touched her empty neck with her hand, her face full of panic.

  In Shen Ningning's impression, Concubine Qi was thoughtful and deep, and she had never been so hesitant and uneasy before.

  She originally wanted to take the lynx away, but when she saw this scene, she decided to stay and see what kind of pendant could make Concubine Qi lose her composure?

  Concubine Qi ordered everyone in the palace to jump into the water to find the pendant for her.

  The palace maid who couldn't swim was also pushed into the lake by her.

  "Look! You must find it! Otherwise, I will report to the emperor and punish you with death!"

  The palace people trembled and groped back and forth in the water.

  at this time.

  A young eunuch emerged from the water, holding a necklace high.

  "Empress, I found it!"

  Shen Ningning looked intently.

  Under the bright sunlight, the silver pendant shines dazzlingly.

  With a blink of an eye, the little guy saw clearly that it turned out to be a jade rabbit pendant.

  And she has seen the appearance of the Jade Rabbit before!

  Shen Ningning opened her big, watery eyes.

  In the late spring, I packed up the belongings of the maid Wenxiu and found the jade rabbit thoughtfully given by her mother, which was engraved with the words "Moon Landing".

  Now, the jade rabbit on this pendant that Concubine Qi regards as a treasure is exactly the same as the one Shen Siyi gave to Wenxiu!

  Shen Ningning took two steps forward. Before she could take a closer look, Concubine Qi had already hung it around her neck and stuffed it into her clothes.

  She covered her heart with her hand, closed her eyes and murmured: "Fortunately, luckily I didn't lose it."

  Shen Ningning's eyes showed suspicion.

  Could it be that this jade rabbit was given to her by her mother when she and Concubine Qi were on good terms?

  While the little guy was hesitating for a moment, Concubine Qi had already calmed down her mind, and the look on her face had returned to her usual calm and gentle mask.     She wiped the water from her face with the palace handkerchief, and then came to Shen Ningning.

  The little guy looked up at her. The sunlight shone from Concubine Qi's back, making her eyes dark and gloomy, with a faint sneer on her lips.

  "Your Highness, how can you allow wild beasts to run rampant in the palace?"

  She lowered her head and glanced at the injured and gasping black cat. Her eyes hurt, and she bent down to pick up the black cat.

  "The black raccoon has been praised many times by the emperor for driving away the plague in the palace. Her Royal Highness the Princess's beast bit it. If it dies, how should I explain to the emperor?"

  Shen Ningning's round eyes were dark, reflecting the clear blue sky.

  "You are not the only cat in the world. Besides, if it hadn't wanted to hurt me first, I wouldn't have let the cat bite it."

  "My brother can also testify about this. If you don't accept it, just file a complaint. " Come to the emperor's uncle."

  After saying that, Shen Ningning raised her little finger and said, "Big cat, let's go."

  The lynx licked its sharp teeth twice and glanced at the black cat on the ground with its greedy eyes.

  It's a pity that the little master won't let it be eaten.

  Otherwise, it would have been chewed up by the black cat, including the skin and bones.

  Looking at Shen Ningning's petite retreating figure, Concubine Qi's black hair was stuck to her forehead, and her eyes were cold.

  ...

  The entire Li family was executed, and no one was left alive.

  But before Li Yuyi died, she was angrily cursing Xie Yuanjiu's name, cursing her for a bad death, and saying that she had harmed her whole family and would not let her go even if she was a ghost.

  This incident spread throughout Beijing, and everyone speculated on what Xie Yuanjiu had done to the Li family.

  Both Xie Suzhi and Mr. Xie heard about it.

  They speculated that what Li Yuyi held a grudge against was that Xie Yuanjiu brought her and Mr. Li into the Xie Mansion, but unintentionally violated the emperor's affairs.

  The aristocratic families in the city were quite critical of Xie Yuanjiu's actions.

  Families with daughters from high-ranking families have privately warned their daughters to have less contact with Xie Yuanjiu.

  So as not to be taken advantage of by her.

  Xie Yuanjiu went to the Xie Mansion many times and wanted to cry out to Mr. Xie about her current situation and how unpopular she was.

  However, Mr. Xie did not want to see her and kept her out of the study again and again.

  Xie Yuanjiu was disheartened.

  Especially after living in another courtyard, she felt unhappy everywhere.

  Compared with Xie's mansion, the current house is really too small.

  This day.

  In order to make money, Xu Jingxi got a private painting job through a neighbor's introduction when he was not studying.

  He took his tools to the secluded mansion, mixed the paint, and just climbed up the ladder to start work.

  He heard a sneer coming from behind him.

  "Does Xu Jingxi, the genius prodigy who entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences in second place, also want to earn money by doing this kind of work?"

  Xu Jingxi turned around and saw Xie Yuanjiu standing in the corridor, with a harmless smile but a sarcastic tone.

  He frowned slightly.

  Xu Jingxi did not expect that the owner of this mansion was actually Xie Yuanjiu.

  He didn't want to think about the conflict, so he kept a cold face and remained silent.

  Xie Yuanjiu was reluctant and walked slowly to the ladder: "Are you short of money? Why don't you ask the princess to borrow it? I remember your relationship, it's pretty good."

  Xu Jingxi's jawline tightened: "The princess is only kind-hearted for a moment. If I ask for help from the princess every time, what's the difference between me and a beggar?"

  Xie Yuanjiu sneered.

  Useless spine.

  Xu Jingxi knew about her grievances with Shen Ningning, so she wanted to put down the paint and leave immediately.

  But Grandpa Xu's health is not good and he needs money for many things.

  He also had to buy himself pen and ink to read.

  So I endured it.

  Xie Yuanjiu looked up at him for a while, his voice was soft, like a poisonous snake spitting out a message.

  "The hand you use to write should be important, right?"

  Before Xu Jingxi could react, she felt the ladder being pushed violently.

  He swayed violently, trying to grab something, but failed.

  "Bang!"

  Xu Jingxi fell directly from the ladder, his right arm pressed on the hard ground, and he groaned in pain.
