Shen Ningzhu almost blurted out, "Don't you have a childhood sweetheart?" Then she heard the man say to himself, "Yes, in this kind of thing, men should do the work."

Chen Ningzhu:???

Jiang Xuanyan lowered his head and imitated the way Shen Ningzhu had just kissed him. He was gentle and pious, holding Shen Ningzhu's little face and kissing her carefully.

As they kissed, his breathing gradually became heavier and he lost control. He began to move against her neck like a dog.

Shen Ningzhu frowned tightly.

The images that emerged in my mind were all of Jiang Xuanyan and Jiang Qingyi being affectionate with each other.

"vomit--"

Finally, she could no longer bear it and pushed the man away. She used her hands and feet to crawl to the head of the bed, retching non-stop.

I don't know how long I vomited before I finally suppressed the nausea in my heart.

At this moment, a faint voice came from behind, "Are you disliking me?"

Is it because his technique is so poor that she is so reluctant to let him touch her?

Chen Ningzhu's body froze, and she didn't know how to recover for a moment, so she just stood there without moving.

"Oh--"

The man's cold voice, as if brought out from hell, was mechanical and hard, "Chen Ningzhu, you really are - great."

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving behind only a cold back.

Chen Ningzhu got what she wanted, but for some reason, she felt a little depressed, sour and swollen in her heart, and very uncomfortable.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the strange feeling, pulled the quilt over herself, and after a while, she finally fell asleep.

The night is as cool as water, just like the last autumn.

The next morning, Chen Ningzhu woke up very early for the first time.

The bed beside me was icy cold, without a trace of warmth. It was obvious that the man had not come back all night.

Chen Ningzhu looked quietly at the empty side of her, feeling confused.

"Someone, prepare the toiletries."

"yes."

Several maids worked in an orderly manner and soon finished cleaning up.

Breakfast was also prepared, with more than a dozen items, all of which were exquisite, colorful, fragrant and delicious.

Shen Ningzhu's mood suddenly brightened a little. She sat down and started to use it slowly and methodically.

From childhood to adulthood, Chen Ningzhu was trained as a socialite, with extremely strict requirements, almost abnormally harsh, especially in terms of body shape and appearance.

Fortunately, Shen Ningzhu herself is a person who loves beauty very much, so she can accept it without any obstacles.

Just like before, I took a bite of every dish, and even if I found something I really liked, I didn’t finish the whole plate.

When she was seven-tenths full, she reached out to take the tea, rinsed her mouth, and then took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and carefully wiped each of her fingers clean.

At this time, another maid came in from outside.

"My lady, the steward has come personally with His Highness's reward."

"Well, clear the food off the table, clean it up and let someone in."

After a while, the butler Zhang Bo walked in respectfully, holding a box in his hand. "My lady, this is what His Highness ordered me to bring. Please take a look."

Shen Ningzhu suppressed her excitement, took it and opened it, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

"Are you sure this jade pendant is the one presented as tribute last year? Is there a mistake?"

The butler took it and took a look. After seeing it clearly, he hurriedly knelt down to apologize, saying that it was probably a mistake made by the subordinates.

He left in a hurry again.

Not long after, he came back sweating profusely, this time with another brocade box in his hand.

When Chen Ningzhu saw the jade pendant inside, her pupils subconsciously widened and her heartstrings trembled.

Same, exactly the same.

The style, pattern, texture, and even the feel are exactly the same. This is definitely not a simple coincidence, there must be a connection.

Chen Ningzhu suppressed her slightly trembling body due to excitement, thanked the housekeeper, and dismissed all the servants.

Looked again and again carefully.

After confirming that it was his jade pendant, he hurried to Meixiang Garden to find Liu Zhiyi.

Little did he know that at this moment, the housekeeper was in the prince's study, reporting to Jiang Xuanyan everything that had just happened.

"You said that the first time she heard that I gave her the jade pendant, her eyes lit up, but after she saw the design of the jade pendant clearly, the light in her eyes dimmed again?"

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true."

"Later, when she got the jade pendant, she was ecstatic?"

"Your Highness, although the young lady tried her best to suppress her emotions, I can still see that she is very excited."

Jiang Xuanyan's mouth twitched coldly.

"That means she knows what the jade pendant looks like, right?

But on the day the jade pendant was presented to Jiang State, I took it back and put it in the storeroom. Even my father didn't know the style of the jade pendant, so how did she know it?"

"this……"

The housekeeper couldn't explain it either.

"Okay, go down."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

Jiang Xuanyan held the teacup in one hand and slowly walked to the window. He looked up with emotions surging in his eyes.

Snap——

The cup shattered in his hands.

The broken porcelain pieces pierced into the flesh of his palm, and blood flowed down his slender white fingers, dripping onto his luxurious new robe and the clean floor.

He seemed unconscious, and the tattoo remained motionless.

His eyes gradually became sinister and distorted, and his voice was like a devil from hell, "Chen Ningzhu, all of this was forced upon me by you."

At the same time, Chen Ningzhu and Liu Zhiyi were trying various ways to travel back in time.

Holding the jade pendant, the two held hands, closed their eyes, and opened them again, and they were still in the same place.

I dripped blood onto the jade pendant, but it didn't react.

They ran to the yard and held the jade pendant towards the sun, but there was still no reaction. The weather was hot and humid, and they struggled for a long time and both broke out in sweat.

"It's useless, it's useless, it's useless, why?"

Liu Zhiyi sighed.

"Well, this kind of thing can't be rushed. Maybe it requires the right time, place and people."

What can Chen Ningzhu do?

"Never mind, let it be. Oh, Xiaoyi, the Gou Prince will be leaving the capital the day after tomorrow, so we should hurry and get ready.

And Jiang Yanche, what's up with that bastard now? I can't let him ruin everything this time."

You won't always be so lucky and get away with it.

How proud and conceited is Jiang Xuanyan?

If they knew that she wanted to escape, they would probably kill her without hesitation. She couldn't afford to take the risk and had to be extremely cautious.

"I heard that Prince Chen's influence has been greatly reduced, and he was also involved in a case of corruption and embezzlement of disaster relief grain. He has been detained by the Emperor in the Dali Temple, awaiting trial."

Shen Ningzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that God has blessed us. This time, nothing should go wrong."

As he was speaking, Nanny Chen walked in.

Jiang Xuanyan had assigned her the house a few days after she entered the mansion, and she had been staying in Meixiang Garden ever since.

"This old servant greets the young lady. Your Highness has sent a message saying that they will depart for Jiangnan in three days. Please pack up quickly. Mo Yan has delayed the trip."

puff--

Is this dog man serious?

No, Jiang Xuanyan is a man of great intelligence and suspicion. It is unrealistic to escape with him halfway, so she must find a way to stay in the capital.

"Oh, I see."

In order not to alert the enemy, Chen Ningzhu could only agree first and then make long-term plans.
