Chapter 35: Shooting Yourself in the Foot



Seeing the two girls so excited.

Murong Ye smiled.

The smile was cold and contemptuous.

"Ladies, are you sure this is the jade pendant stolen by Second Miss Jiang?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiuxiu and Tang Yufeng looked at each other.

"Your Highness, we have both witnesses and evidence." Tang Yufeng looked at Jiang Wanyue with some reluctance.

"Although I really want to plead for Miss Jiang Er...but the law is unforgiving, and Yufeng is powerless."

"Yeah," Lin Xiuxiu replied, sighing deeply.

"If she hadn't been so stubborn and refused to hand over the jade pendant, things wouldn't have come to this."

Lin Xiuxiu sighed, looking compassionate.

Murong Ye sneered.

He nodded towards Princess Yu.

"Princess Yu, please check and see if Miss Jiang's jade pendant is the exquisite jade pendant bestowed upon her by our father."

Princess Yu smiled softly upon hearing this and she slowly stepped forward.

He took the jade pendant from the nanny's hand and examined it carefully.

Finally, she smiled with relief.

He smiled and waved at everyone.

"This jade pendant is not Princess Jialan's exquisite jade pendant." Princess Yu said with a faint smile.

"Exquisite jade is spiritual. The emperor once obtained a small piece in his early years. Last year, on Princess Jialan's birthday, the emperor specially ordered someone to create a jade pendant for her."

"That jade pendant is in the shape of a phoenix, and is light pink throughout."

"But, this jade pendant of Second Miss Jiang is green and white."

"It uses the elements of lotus and lotus leaves complementing each other, and has nothing to do with Princess Jialan's jade pendant." Princess Yu patiently explained to everyone.

"I think Miss Lin must have seen it wrong." Princess Yu said.

"How, how is this possible?" Tang Yufeng and Lin Xiuxiu's smiles were still frozen on their faces.

It felt like someone had slapped my cheeks countless times out of thin air.

"Impossible, Princess Yu, this is clearly a gift from the Emperor. How can you say it's not?"

"Could it be that you are intentionally shielding Jiang Wanyue?"

Lin Xiuxiu collapsed and screamed, no longer showing her previous compassionate and gentle appearance.

She was born out of wedlock and suffered humiliation since childhood.

This time, she was determined to succeed or die.

She must cling to Princess Jialan's thigh and make the entire Lin family depend on her.

"Miss Lin, are you questioning my character?"

Princess Yu's smile faded and she looked up at everyone.

"There are quite a few people here who attended Princess Jialan's birthday party last year. If you don't believe me, you can ask them to witness it together."

Princess Yu's voice became a little colder.

"I am outspoken, please forgive me, Princess." Lin Xiuxiu shuddered all over.

How come she blurted out what was in her heart without realizing it?

How could a mere commoner like her dare to offend the dignified Princess Yu?

"No problem," Princess Yu didn't even glance at Lin Xiuxiu.

She tapped her hands lightly and, relying on her memory, picked out several people who had attended the birthday party last year.

"Greetings, Princess Yu." The ladies who were named bowed one after another.

"No need for formalities," Princess Yu still had that gentle smile on her face.

"Since some people are questioning my fairness, why not have you all witness this jade pendant together?"

The noble ladies nodded and stood up.

One by one, the noble ladies took the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

"Oh! There are a few lines of small words on the back. It looks like a poem."

When the jade pendant was passed to one of the noble ladies, she exclaimed and couldn't help but recite.

"The gurgling river reflects the colorful clouds, and the evening breeze gently blows the willow branches."

"The moon shines like water on the river, its clear light illuminates the endless night."

"This is actually an acrostic poem. The first characters at the beginning, when connected together, are exactly Miss Jiang's name!"

Upon hearing this, all the noble ladies crowded over to watch.

[Hehe,] Jiang Tiantian was delighted to see everyone's exclamations and praises.

[I've made you doubt that this isn't my second sister's jade pendant, humph!]

[Tiantian, my carving skills are pretty good, right? Hehe~ Now, let's see who can say this isn't from my second sister!]

After the noble ladies admired and played with it for a while, they looked at Jiang Wanyue with even more admiration.

"I didn't expect that Miss Jiang is not only good at policy writing, but also has such a brilliant ability in poetry and songwriting!"

The noble ladies had a preconceived notion that the poem on the jade pendant was written by Jiang Wanyue.

"Ahem," Jiang Wanyue blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment facing everyone's praise.

This is my younger sister's masterpiece, and she is embarrassed to take credit for it.

My little sister is really amazing. She can even write poetry?

The two Jiang sisters looked at each other and saw shock and surprise in each other's eyes.

If Jiang Tiantian could hear their voices.

They will definitely scoff and say, "This is not written by me."

[This is a picture of a girl named Happy Spicy Hotpot, created using AI and then polished by herself. Haha~ I think she's useless~]

[I think she shouldn't be called Happy Spicy Hotpot, she should be called Uninformed Spicy Hotpot]

Yesterday was the first day of her new book review period. She received two gifts and eight requests for updates. She was so excited she was grinning from ear to ear, so happy she couldn't sleep. Look at how capable she is~

[Huh, with Tiantian and all the sisters who have become rich, thin, and beautiful, isn't it just around the corner for us to take off?]

[Hehe, fellow Liu Yifei sisters, do you agree?]

Compared to the shock of the other noble ladies, Princess Yu was also very shocked.

She reached out and touched the lines of beautifully carved small characters.

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

This poem, has it existed before?

Could it be that she is already showing signs of Alzheimer's?

No, she must eat a few more bowls of pig brains every day to nourish her brain.
