Seeing Xiao Jinjin's disappointed look, Jiang Jiaojiao quickly patted her chest and said, "I don't have the Imperial Jade Liquor, but I brought some fine peach blossom wine and Xiao Jinjin's favorite crab roe pastry. I'll go get them for you to try."
"Crab roe pastry?"
Chen Jin'er was taken aback. How did she know that her favorite food was crab roe pastry?
Not time travel?
Could it be... rebirth?
Chen Jin'er's eyes lit up again, "Rebirth?"
Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes widened instantly, in disbelief. "You...how did you know?"
Could it be that Little Jinjin has also been reborn?
"Could it be that you also..."
"Shh-"
Chen Jin'er immediately fell silent, covering Jiang Jiaojiao's mouth and hiding behind the artificial hill.
In the distance, a figure crept up stealthily, its furtive movements mirroring those of Jiang Jiaojiao.
Jiang Jiaojiao gripped the jade pendant tightly in her hand.
By the moonlight, I could see clearly the person searching everywhere in the pavilion—Jiang Xue.
Jiang Jiaojiao was taken aback.
Jiang Xue... is she also here looking for the jade pendant?
How did she know there was a jade pendant here? Could it be... that her ancestor sent it to her in a dream? Or did she leave the jade pendant here herself?
Jiang Jiaojiao picked up the jade pendant and examined it closely.
Chen Jin'er was taken aback. "Huh? How did my jade pendant end up in your hands?"
"Is this your jade pendant?"
Jiang Jiaojiao was startled.
"Um."
Chen Jin'er nodded, then shook her head. "It's not really mine. It was given to me by my godmother... oh, your maternal grandmother, when I entered the palace. She said it was a family heirloom of the Jin family. It was originally a pair, one for your mother and one for me."
"..."
Jiang Jiaojiao was taken aback. She had just wondered why this jade pendant looked so familiar.
Jiang Xue heard the noise and exclaimed in surprise.
"Who's there?!"
Jiang Jiaojiao hid Xiao Jinjin behind her back.
She emerged from the artificial hill, revealing a set of white teeth in the moonlight, and asked, "What are you looking for, Second Sister?"
"Sister... Sister, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Xue froze.
Jiang Jiaojiao yawned, "Huh? Why is it already dark? Have Twelfth Prince and Fourth Princess gone back?"
"They're so stupid, they haven't come looking for us yet after all this time."
Upon hearing that the Twelfth Miss and the Fourth Princess were nearby, Jiang Xue panicked even more. She hurriedly swept the ground again, but indeed did not see the jade pendant. Could it be... that Jiang Jiaojiao picked it up?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xue immediately said pitifully, "I...I lost the jade pendant that my mother left me. Did you find it, sister?"
It was indeed a jade pendant.
Jiang Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow, her eyes darting around, and pulled a crescent-shaped jade pendant from her sleeve. "Is this it?"
Upon seeing the jade pendant, Jiang Xue was overjoyed. "Yes, yes, yes—that's it! Sister, can you give it back to me? Mother left it to me, I..."
"Are you sure... this is your jade pendant?"
Jiang Jiaojiao brought the crescent-shaped jade pendant closer to Jiang Xue's eyes.
Jiang Xue nodded quickly, "That's right, that's it, I wear it with me all the time."
Jiang Xue had no idea what the jade pendant actually looked like. The storybook said that the jade pendant was a personal item of Consort Jin. This jade pendant would allow her to bring down Consort Jin, eliminate the Jin family's influence in the palace, and at the same time help the Fifth Prince get rid of the Third Prince.
hehe--
Jiang Jiaojiao almost burst out laughing.
Can you mistake a jade pendant you wear every day for something else?
Seeing that Jiang Jiaojiao didn't believe her, Jiang Xue immediately wiped away her tears, "Sister... if you like the jade pendant, can I trade with you?"
Jiang Jiaojiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
He tossed the jade pendant directly to Jiang Xue, saying, "Fine! I've been thinking of opening a rouge shop recently. Since you're asking, I'll replace your shop in the south of the city."
Jiang Xue's expression froze.
That was her most valuable shop. Jiang Xue held the jade pendant, hesitated for a long time, and then gritted her teeth and agreed.
A shop fell from the sky.
Jiang Jiaojiao happily admired the moon: "The moon is really beautiful tonight. I'll wait for them here. Why don't you... wait with me?"
Jiang Xue felt extremely guilty and dared not stay any longer.
"It's late. If we don't go back soon, Grandma will be angry."
He made an excuse and hurriedly ran away.
After everyone left.
Chen Jin'er emerged from behind the artificial hill, exclaiming, "Amazing!"
"What does she want my jade pendant for? She's willing to trade her shop for it."
"Could she know it's my jade pendant?"
"Are you trying to please me? Or are you plotting against me?"
Little Jinjin asked three questions in a row.
Jiang Jiaojiao shook her head. The ancestor only told her to pick up the jade pendant, but didn't say that Jiang Xue would come too.
"Could it be... that she was also reborn?"
Little Jinjin was talking to herself.
Jiang Jiaojiao's rebirth gave her a lot of creative ideas.
"Tell me, how did we become friends after that?"
She was just an ordinary time traveler, unaware of the future plot and without any special abilities. Although she entered the palace, she had no domineering CEO or exclusive favor.
She even doubted at one point whether her modern memories were just a dream.
Jiang Jiaojiao: "..."
How can I tell her that we only became friends after she died and became a ghost?
Jiang Jiaojiao's expression gave Chen Jin'er a bad feeling.
really……
After hearing Jiang Jiaojiao's story, Chen Jin'er became withdrawn!
It's truly a desolate plain!
She, a perfectly upright transmigrator, was actually played to death by a seemingly innocent but actually scheming woman? Not only did she not transmigrate back after death, but she also became a ghost?
She even considered committing suicide to travel back in time.
Chen Jin'er became depressed.
She asked, unwilling to give up, "Then...did I say anything about how I can go home?"
Jiang Jiaojiao shook her head.
Chen Jin'er became withdrawn.
Is there any time traveler with a worse fate than her?
