Song Xizhi smiled slyly: "The scenery is beautiful, but the people are even more fun."
“I used my husband’s jade pendant to bully him.”
Bronze nodded absentmindedly: "As long as Madam is happy, then do you intend to... return the master's jade pendant now?"
Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi's smile froze on her face instantly; she felt that Qing Tong's attitude was problematic.
She carefully observed Qing Tong's expression: "Qing Tong, I'd like to ask, where did this jade pendant come from? How could it have such a great function?"
"My husband went to the frontier when he was young and has been fighting on the battlefield ever since. He doesn't even have time to spend money. So how did he get to know the owner behind Baifanglou?"
Bronze felt the scrutiny in Song Xizhi's eyes, and his expression twitched slightly:
"Merchants travel all over the country, and it's likely that the boss behind them met their master on the frontier, was rescued by him, and that's how they obtained this jade pendant..."
Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, I see. That's quite a coincidence. But then again..."
“We’re husband and wife, he’s completely mine. It’s just a jade pendant, what’s there to return?”
Qing Tong tightly closed his eyes, cold sweat rolling down his forehead: "Madam, I dare not make the decision to give you the jade pendant without my permission."

If the master finds out, he will definitely hold him accountable!
Song Xizhi raised an eyebrow. "You dared to let me take all of He Jingyan's private savings before, but now you don't even dare to give me a jade pendant?"
Qing Tong raised his hands in surrender, betraying He Jingyan without hesitation: "Go ask your master. If he agrees to give it to you, I will have no objection."
Song Xizhi smiled, gripped the jade pendant in his hand, and got off the soft couch: "Alright, after I bathe and change my clothes, I will torture him to extract a confession."
As if granted a pardon, Qing Tong ran out like the wind, leaving He Jingyan alone on the bed.
