As she spoke, she raised her beautiful and smooth chin, revealing the clearly visible marks of strangulation on her neck.
"Bah! You clearly committed suicide by hanging yourself, what does this have to do with me?"
Dou didn't know that Chang Xixi had committed suicide in the house before. She just thought that Chang Xixi was really murdered by Zhu Youcai, so she hurriedly got up and ran towards the village chief's house.
Zhu Youcai just wanted to get the jade pendant back and didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. Return the engagement jade pendant, or don't blame me for being rude!"
"Then you've got the wrong person. The engagement jade pendant isn't with me at all. When I left the Zhou family, I had already returned the engagement jade pendants from the Zhou and Zhu families to the Zhou family. Besides, do you think the Zhou family would let me take such an important item?"
In fact, according to the original owner's memory, the jade pendant was indeed secretly taken away by the original owner, but Chang Xixi can't recognize it now.
"Chang Xixi, don't try to deceive me again. When I went to the Zhou family to propose marriage, Madam Zhou told me in person that it was you who stole the jade pendant."
"You seem quite normal, how could you be so stupid? The Zhou family clearly didn't want to acknowledge your marriage anymore, so they lied and said I stole the jade pendant. Tsk, that's true.

Chang Xixi was just talking nonsense. Anyway, the jade pendant was not in her hands now. She just had to insist that she didn't steal it. Even the emperor couldn't do anything to her!

Even when he pleaded as agreed, he was stopped outside the door on the grounds that the engagement token was lost. It turned out that Lord Zhou had been promoted and looked down on the Zhu family, who came from a merchant family!
After thinking everything through, Zhu Youcai was about to rush back to settle the score with the Zhou family, but he was stopped by Chang Xixi after taking only a few steps.
"Mr. Zhu broke into a house, attempted murder, and now he wants to leave like this?"
"What do you want?"
Chang Xixi stretched out her hand: "Pay compensation."
