"Now that we have settled the matter, it will prevent you, Miss Lu, from causing trouble for our young lady in the future."

Lu Haoran's face suddenly darkened: "Xu Jinyi, you just watch your maid humiliate us like this, right?"

Through the small window of the sedan, Xu Jinyi's cold face was revealed.

"Liuli is right. Even if it's about money, it's better to confront the prince face to face."

"One more thing. The thousand-year-old jade pendant hanging around your waist is a token of my mother's love for you. I hope you can return it to its original owner."

Lu Haoran's face turned pale, and his hands involuntarily covered the priceless spiritual jade around his waist.

He felt warm at first, but Lu Haoran felt a chill in his heart.

This magical jade is rare in the world. It keeps warm in winter and cool in summer. It can prolong the life of the wearer. It was given by the late emperor.

When he first got this spiritual jade, he invited his classmates to come and see it. He still remembers their envious eyes.

Asking him to return the Lingyu now would be even more painful than killing him.

This is a spiritual jade. Wearing it on his body, he feels superior to others and his steps are as fast as the wind when he walks out.

He had long regarded the spiritual jade as his own property, but with so many people staring at it, he could only grit his teeth and hand it over.

"Your Highness, please be careful. This spiritual jade is not as fragile as ordinary jade. If you accidentally drop it, it will also have flaws."

How could Xu Jinyi not see his little thoughts? This kind of person can't get what he wants, and no one else can get it either.

Lu Haoran's hand froze just as he was about to let go. With so many people staring at his hand, he could only hand it over reluctantly.

"Xiao Jin, the door of our mansion is always open for you. If you figure it out, come find me. I will wait for you."

Looking at the frustrated expressions of the two siblings, Xu Jinyi was happy.

"Liuli, let's go."

“——”

Yijing Garden has a large warehouse. Xu Jinyi asked Tong Mama and Liuli to keep an eye on all the things, while she asked Liusu to help her change out of her wedding dress first.

When the wedding dress was taken off and the snow-white skin was exposed, Liusu stared at the figure that could drive men crazy, and a look of jealousy flashed across her eyes.

"Miss, the prince just promised to give you the position of principal wife, why don't you agree?"

"The princess instructed us to take good care of you and serve you in the Marquis' Mansion. How angry would the princess be if you knew what I'd done?"

Xu Jinyi did not answer her. She put on a lavender chest-length skirt, which perfectly outlined the undulating breasts, making her look very charming.

"Miss, are you angry and want to deliberately leave the prince alone for a few days? Let me tell you, Miss, you can't make a fuss for too long. What if the prince takes it seriously, then..."

Xu Jinyi looked at her coldly: "You are just a maid, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at my affairs?!"

Liusu's eyes widened, and she didn't react.

I only heard Xu Jinyi's cold words continue to ring in my mind: "Kneel down, who allowed you to stand and talk to this princess?"

The voice was so harsh that it made Liusu's heart tremble.

Over the years, she and Liuli have been Xu Jinyi's maids, but they have been treated very well.

Xu Jinyi is approachable and relaxed with them, rarely scolding them.

In front of her, Liusu always said whatever she wanted to say, and never expected that Xu Jinyi would suddenly speak so harshly.

"Miss? Are you unhappy and angry?"

"Kneel down! When did a servant like you get to guess my feelings? Have you forgotten your status? I am the master, you are the slave, and as a slave you should have your duties."

"Don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't do what you shouldn't do. It's okay that you've been unruly many times in the past, but you must never behave like a slave in the future."

Liusu had never seen Xu Jinyi like this before. She nodded slightly and slowly knelt down.

Looking at Xu Jinyi with his rosy face and straight posture, a strong sense of humiliation surged in her heart, and Liusu hated Xu Jinyi very much.

"What are you looking at? Didn't anyone teach you how to kneel when you entered the mansion?"

Liusu could only lower her head in silence, cursing Xu Jinyi in her heart.

Xu Jinyi didn't let her get up. She sat in front of the dressing table and took off the gold hairpins on her head.

The original owner's appearance and figure were both excellent, and she didn't need any adjustments at all. Her charming and beautiful gestures were enough to fascinate people.

The wedding ceremony took place right after they appeared, so Xu Jinyi had no time to sort out the original owner's memories.

Combined with the information Xiaoqi gave, it was very simple to guess the original owner's wish.

"Xiao Qi, did the original owner want me to help her find out the truth and clear the name of the General's Mansion? Rescue her parents and then take revenge on the Pingyang Marquis Mansion?"

"Yes, Yiyi, the original owner hopes that you will ruthlessly retaliate against the Marquis' Mansion, trample them underfoot, and make them regret what they did to you."

In her previous life, the original owner was trapped and died in that small courtyard. She gave birth to two children for Lu Haoran, but they were adopted under the name of his wife Huo Bier at birth.

They were raised astray and regarded her, their biological mother, as an enemy and a shame, but the original owner was still worried about them.

So he did not dare to commit suicide and never stepped out of that small courtyard until his death.

Therefore, the original owner's wish was not to take the lives of the Lu family, but to make them suffer and regret.

After sorting out everything, Xu Jinyi asked, "What's the current situation at the General's Mansion?"

"Who is the male lead?"

With the memories of her previous life, she knew that her parents were still safe, but in three months the whole family would be wiped out.

The original owner was stupid at that time. After listening to Lu Haoran and Liusu, she actually did not go back to the capital in order to reassure her mother.

This also means that even with the original owner's memories, Xu Jinyi does not know what the situation is in the general's mansion.

There is just one thing that is clear.

Her father must be innocent, because she knew how much he hated war and how much he hated those in the enemy country who provoked the war.

At home, she often heard him scolding the enemy, so it was impossible for her father to do anything like treason.

So his father must be in the way of others: "Is the man the emperor?"

"The emperor has no heir, and those in the royal family are ready to make a move. People in the court are starting to take sides. My father commands a large army, so he will definitely become the target of everyone's fight."

"He has always been upright, neutral, and loyal to the emperor. I'm afraid he has offended those people."

“That’s why this disaster happened.”

Xiao Qi was stunned. Her reasoning was simply impeccable. It was too amazing.

"Am I wrong?"

Xiao Qi looked listless: "No, I just think you're too smart, Yiyi, and it seems like I'm of no help to you at all."

"Do you feel sorry for me?" Xu Jinyi asked with a curled lip.

Xiao Qi nodded.

"Why don't you help me find out where the emperor is now? Only by getting close to him can we find out why my father was convicted."
