"Your Highness, you must do justice for me!" Consort Wang knelt in the main hall of Ping Le Garden, her face streaked with tears.
Sang Jiang watched her with an air of anticipation.
Nangong Jin raised an eyebrow: "Tell me, what important matter requires you to summon me here?"
Consort Wang sniffed and said with great grievance, "Does Your Highness still remember the jade pendant you gave me when I first entered the manor?"
Nangong Jin pondered for a moment: "I don't know."
His tone was extremely serious, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was.
Wang Liangdi: ……
Sang Jiang lowered her head, clutching the handkerchief in her hand, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Wang Liangdi burst into tears as if she had found a way out. While crying, she pointed at Sang Jiang and said, "Miss Sang, what do you mean by this? Don't you feel any remorse? I don't know how you can laugh like this."
Sang Jiang shook the crumpled handkerchief in her hand and looked up at Wang Liangdi: "Liangdi, what do you mean by this? Why can't others laugh just because you're crying? Do you want me to cry with you?"
"You! Your Highness, look at her! Waaah!" She pointed at Sang Jiang for a long time but couldn't utter a word, so she turned to look at Nangong Jin again.
Nangong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly as she looked at her: "Did she say something wrong?"
Wang Liangdi: ……
So, did she come here today only to make a fool of herself?
But the thought of losing her jade pendant made her heart ache, and she felt she had to get something out of this today. Thinking about it, she cried even harder.
“What you say is true, but could you please return my jade pendant to me? Although it may not seem like much to you, it is my most cherished jade pendant. I will give you anything you like, just please return that jade pendant to me.”
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow, looking at her with confusion: "What jade pendant? I've never seen one before."
Wang Liangdi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cried so hard she was almost sobbing: "Miss, think about it carefully. It's just a white, round jade pendant with the words 'auspicious and wishful' engraved on it. Are you sure you've never seen it before?"
“No.” Sang Jiang’s tone was particularly firm.
Now Sang Jiang knew what was going on without even having to guess; she had probably been tricked again.
She couldn't help but feel speechless. She hadn't done anything to anyone, so why were these women always trying to scheme against her? Would they rise to power if they killed her?
Wang Liangdi's body went limp, and she sat down on the ground in despair. She closed her eyes in despair for a long time before opening them firmly: "You are His Highness's honored guest, and it is not appropriate for me to make such a request. However, this jade pendant is too important to me. So, would you dare to let me search for it around the courtyard?"
Sang Jiang yawned lazily, raising her phoenix eyes slightly: "Please go ahead."
Even if the jade pendant were still there, what difference would it make?
Could Nangong Jin really kill her?
Moreover, it would be quite nice to be able to leave because of this.
Nangong Jin knew what she was thinking with just one glance. She glanced at Wang Liangdi with annoyance and took out two pieces of jade pendant fragments from her sleeve: "Are you talking about this one?"
When Wang Liangdi saw the jade pendant in his hand, her pupils trembled slightly, and a trace of fear slowly welled up in her heart.
She tried her best to look innocent as she looked at Nangong Jin: "How... how did this end up here with Your Highness?"
Nangong Jin glanced at her and threw the jade pendant in front of her. The pendant shattered again, and one piece bounced up...
