Chapter 349 Don’t Grab
Chen Wan didn't know that half of the jade pendant was hers. She was taken out by Xie Jingyu and accidentally dropped it on the ground. It was Yun who asked her to find the other half.
But at first glance, the texture and size are exactly the same.
Shen Wan didn't have time to think about it, he could only watch the jade pendant being kicked back and forth by you, there were so many people on the street.
Chen Wan chased forward, and finally the jade pendant stopped in the middle of the road. Someone was riding a horse over there. If the jade pendant was accidentally stepped on by the horse's hoof, it would be shattered.
Shen Wan wanted to run over, but was grabbed by Xie Jingyu's arm. Seeing that the jade pendant was about to be destroyed under the horse's hooves, Shen Wan screamed in panic.
Xie Jingyu didn't notice the jade pendant. He just saw Chen Wan eating candied haws and suddenly trying to rush into the middle of the road. He grabbed her for fear that she would be hit by a horse.
Following Chen Wan's hand, Xie Jingyu saw the jade pendant on the ground, and his eyes narrowed.
Seeing the horse's hooves raised high, about to step on the jade pendant, Shen Wan's heart rose to his throat. He only felt a gust of wind blowing past him, followed by a horse neighing, and the person on the horse was thrown off.
The Prince of Song fell to the ground, his forehead trembling with pain, and his eyes looked murderous with anger.
"Xie Jingyu!"
The Prince of Song wanted to tear Xie Jingyu into pieces.
He was riding his horse normally when he suddenly saw someone like a ghost flashing over. In panic, he tightened the reins, but was thrown to the ground by his own horse.
Let him, the dignified Prince of Song, lose all face!
The Duke of Song gritted his teeth and said, "How could you seek death like this?"
Xie Jingyu's action just now was indeed tantamount to seeking death. Even Chen Ping was frightened. He almost sent himself to be killed by the prince of Song because of that half jade pendant.
Shen Wan walked over and asked, "Are you okay, husband?"
Xie Jingyu looked at his hand and hurried to pick up the jade pendant. His hand scraped against the ground, breaking the skin and causing blood to ooze out.
The Prince of Song was curious. "What is it that made you, the Prince of Jingbei, risk your life to pick it up from under the horse's hooves?"
Xie Jingyu ignored him. The Prince of Song was not a good-tempered person, so he just started to snatch it away.
Since he got off the horse, it couldn't be in vain.
But what Xie Jingyu had in his hand was not something he, the Prince of Song, could snatch away.
After more than a dozen rounds, the Prince of Song couldn't even get close to him.
Two children around six or seven years old came running over, and one of them said anxiously, "Don't try to take it! The jade pendant is mine..."
Xie Jingyu stopped.
The Prince of Song did not try to grab it again.
Xie Jingyu opened his palm, and the child took the jade pendant and left.
Seeing that it was half a broken jade pendant——
The Prince of Song has never been so speechless.
Why didn't I trample Xie Jingyu to death just now? For half a jade pendant, I threw myself under his horse's hooves and died because of it. A lot of people will definitely laugh their heads off.
Xie Jingyu looked at the prince of Song and said, "Ask the imperial physician for the prince of Song."
The Prince of Song said, "No need!"
"This prince is not that weak. But you, the prince of Jingbei, should cherish your life when you go out!"
The Prince of Song jumped on his horse and walked away speechlessly.
After the Duke of Song left, Shen Wan walked to Xie Jingyu, "Your hand..."
Xie Jingyu had just asked the child to take half of the jade pendant away, and Shen Wan saw that his hand was injured.
Xie Jingyu looked at his hand and said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
He grabbed Shen Wan's hand and walked in the direction where the two children ran away.
That jade pendant is the other half that the emperor is looking for.
I don't know why it ended up in that child's hands.
The Prince of Song was present just now, and Xie Jingyu didn't want to cause any trouble, so he let the two children take the jade pendant away.
After walking forward a dozen steps, Chen Ping came over holding a child's collar in one hand.
The two children's feet were off the ground, but not completely. They kept struggling, "Let me go! Let me go now!"
When they got closer, Chen Ping let go of their hands. The two children raised their feet to run, but as soon as they raised their feet, they were caught again.
Are you kidding? Someone ran away right in front of him. Is Chen Ping still going to survive?
Chen Ping asked, "Where did you get that half jade pendant?"
The child struggled, "You want my jade pendant? No way!"
Shen Wan said, "Let's ask their parents."
Even though only half of the jade pendant was left, its texture was crystal clear and it was worth at least a dozen taels of silver. Judging from the two children's attire, they were from an ordinary family and probably lived nearby.
As they were talking, a woman who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old came over. Seeing that Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu were well-dressed and looked noble, she stepped forward and said, "The two children are ignorant and have offended you two nobles. Please don't bear grudges..."
"Mom, I didn't mess with them, they just wanted my things!"
The young boy was so angry.
The woman said, "Shut up!"
Shen Wan said, "He really didn't provoke us. We went to him to ask where he got the half jade pendant in his hand?"
The woman was a little confused. "What half a jade pendant?"
She asked her son, but the child was angry because he was scolded and ignored her.
The woman slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Mom is asking you a question!"
The child puffed up his cheeks and showed his mother half of the jade pendant, "This is it..."
The woman asked, "Where did it come from?"
"My uncle gave it to me a few days ago."
Shen Wan said, "Please take us to see his uncle."
The woman glanced at the jewelry on Shen Wan's head and said in a trembling voice, "Is this jade pendant very... very important?"
Every piece of jewelry on Chen Wan's body was worth a fortune, but this jade pendant was only half a piece. The woman was a little worried that the jade pendant had a noble origin and would bring trouble to her brother.
Shen Wan casually pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and handed it over, “Please help me.”
The woman didn't expect that she only took a glance and Shen Wan gave her the golden hairpin. She quickly waved her hand and said, "That's not what I meant..."
The woman spoke in a low voice. Seeing that Shen Wan did not look like a bad person, she said, "It's just that the child's uncle works in the Ministry of Justice. He hasn't finished his work yet at this time, and he doesn't want the family to disturb him..."
Ministry of Justice...
These two words successfully made Xie Jingyu frown.
Chen Ping said, "My Lord and the Crown Princess are shopping, I will take them to the Ministry of Justice."
Chen Ping left with his wife and two children.
But Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu were no longer in the mood to go shopping.
Chen Wan didn't know what the half jade pendant meant. She valued the jade pendant only because Yun asked her to find it and Chen Ping went to check it out. She was relieved. She cared more about Xie Jingyu's hand that was injured because of the jade pendant, and she had to go back to apply medicine.
Xie Jingyu knew what the jade pendant represented, but he didn't expect it to appear so suddenly. Add to that the faint whip marks on Chen Wan's back...
Xie Jingyu's mind suddenly flashed with the image of Pei Huaijin lying on a straw mat with whip marks all over his back.
Someone who hit him and he didn't fight back.
The guess was about to come out, and Xie Jingyu's eyes twitched violently.
In the carriage, Chen Wan was wiping the dust off Xie Jingyu's hands with an embroidered handkerchief. Xie Jingyu asked, "When did your shoulder feel like it was hit by something?"
Shen Wan was a little confused by the question, "Why are you asking me this?"
Xie Jingyu said, "Don't you remember?"
How could I not remember?
She has never been injured in her life and remembers every injury clearly.
Chen Wan started talking, "I was seven years old that year..."
