According to the original book, Chen Yunniang was able to travel freely between two time periods by dripping her blood onto the Dragon-Snake Jade.
She'll give it a try too!
Su Yujiao pricked her finger with a silver needle, squeezed out a drop of blood, and let it fall onto the Dragon-Snake Jade. The Dragon-Snake Jade emitted a dazzling green light, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in her room. She grabbed a bag of snacks, mentally visualized an ancient room, and then opened her eyes again to find herself back in her room.
"It really works!" Su Yujiao exclaimed in surprise.
She went back, and this time she didn't even need to bleed. Could it be that the Dragon-Snake Jade had already recognized her as its master?
Why did Chen Yunniang have to bleed every time?
Never mind, as long as I can get back.
This jade was originally given to her by the old woman; she is the destined owner of this jade, naturally different from that imposter Chen Yunniang.
Su Yujiao went to the supermarket and went on a shopping spree in the fresh produce section, vegetable section, fruit section, condiment section, skin care section...
Several thousand dollars can be spent in a matter of minutes!
She checked her bank card balance and found she only had a little over a thousand yuan left.
After her parents passed away, they didn't leave her much money, only this small 80-square-meter apartment. She had just graduated and was still in her internship period, so she was very poor.
As Su Yujiao paid the bill, she was still thinking to herself, "I wonder if I could sell the ancient items so I wouldn't have to worry about money."
When she opened her eyes again, Su Yujiao was already in her room.
She only took some necessities for tonight; it would be difficult to explain taking too many things.
Su Yujiao carried out a large barbecue grill, and everyone was very curious, asking her all sorts of questions.
"This is a barbecue grill. It was made at the blacksmith's shop before, but I haven't used it until today. It's finally coming in handy."
"Have all the ingredients been prepared?"
Su Yujiao marinated fresh mutton, pork, chicken, and fish, and then arranged for a group of children to skewer vegetarian dishes.
She demonstrated it first, and the others quickly got the hang of it, since it was simple.
"You guys start skewering, I'll go make some plum juice. How can you eat grilled skewers without a drink?"
The courtyard was filled with laughter and joy. Lu Ziqian stood outside the gate, watching Su Yujiao's cheerful figure weave through a group of teenagers.
She was really happy to leave him; even her smile became much sweeter.
Lu Ziqian felt bitter inside. What a heartless woman! She left without a second thought, without even a hint of regret.
When the little gray cat in the man's arms saw Su Yujiao, it widened its eyes and struggled restlessly, trying to break free from Lu Ziqian's embrace to find its "mother".
Lu Ziqian wouldn't let go, so the little guy hissed at him, his little face contorted with a fierce yet adorable expression.
Let's go.
"Master, didn't you come to deliver Little Grey?" Mo Shu asked, puzzled.
Looking at Su Yujiao's sweet smile, Lu Ziqian said in a hoarse voice, "She's happy today, so I won't disturb her."
"..."
Why don't you just put Little Grey down? You don't need to disturb it; the little guy will sneak in by himself. Can't you see how anxious it is that it's almost talking?
Seeing that it was getting further and further away from its "mother", Little Grey got angry and bit Lu Ziqian's hand, and even peed all over it.
Lu Ziqian tossed the little guy to Mo Shu with a look of disgust, and told him not to let go.
Mo Shu remained silent. He had finally understood that his master intended to use the emperor to command the feudal lords.
With Little Grey on my side, I'll never have to worry about not having a chance to get close to the young mistress.
"Why hasn't Peony arrived yet? Tiger, go and check on her."
Tiger looked reluctant: "Leave some for me, don't eat it all."
“Madam Lu, my daughter said that we have distinguished guests at the shop tonight and she can’t make it. She will definitely be there to congratulate you on your housewarming banquet.”
Tiger had just reached the door when he encountered Peony's maid.
Distinguished guest?
Su Yujiao's first thought was Mo Lingchen!
If Peony said she couldn't come, it must be because she couldn't get away, so there's no need to force her.
Su Yujiao packed up some barbecue and fruit wine drinks and handed them to the maid: "Take this back to your young lady."
"Thank you, Madam Lu."
Su Yujiao corrected, "From now on, call me Miss Su or Madam Su. I'm divorced now, so there's no need to use my husband's surname anymore, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."
The maid was taken aback, then nodded in agreement.
"The county magistrate's courtyard is quite lively."
"The county princess's roasted meat smells so good that I could smell it from a great distance."
"I wonder if I would have the honor of tasting the county princess's cooking?"
Seeing that Su Yujiao was frowning at him and had no intention of inviting him to stay for dinner, Chu Zhongyuan brazenly continued, "Princess, won't you invite me in for a seat?"
"Your Highness, please don't be offended. My humble courtyard is not large enough to accommodate someone as important as you."
The man raised an eyebrow, looking at Su Yujiao's beautiful face. He wasn't annoyed; instead, he chuckled softly, "How will you know you can't tolerate her if you don't try?"
As he spoke, he turned and entered the courtyard, leaving Su Yujiao standing at the door speechless.
This person's skin is thicker than a city wall!
Chu Zhongyuan was quite outgoing. He sat down, picked up a skewer of lamb, and started eating. The lamb was fresh and fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The special flavor of cumin paired perfectly with the gamey taste of lamb.
Chu Zhongyuan ate one skewer, then took another skewer of sizzling, oily chicken wings from the charcoal grill.
The moment others learned of his identity, they all avoided him; no one dared to dine with the prince.
Su Yujiao rolled her eyes. This guy was such a spoilsport; he ruined the good atmosphere.
So annoying!
"The princess isn't eating?"
Su Yujiao gave a forced smile: "Your Highness, please go first."
Get out of here after you're done!
"Why are you standing so far away, County Princess? I'm not going to eat you. You're not as good as meat skewers."
Su Yujiao frowned. She had ruined his plans today. Was he here to settle scores?
"Princess, come and have some with us."
"I don't know how to grill; it's about to burn."
Su Yujiao was speechless, but he remained calm. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was really there to eat skewers.
Su Yujiao stepped forward and flipped the skewers over: "Does Your Highness have something to say?"
Chu Zhongyuan nodded: "A little."
"Then Your Highness may speak frankly."
Chu Zhongyuan took a sip of the fruit wine, tasted it, and gave it a passable evaluation.
"Next time I'll bring you some grape wine, it's sweet and delicious, and it goes perfectly with your meat skewers."
There will be a next time? Dream on!
"What is it, Your Highness?"
Chu Zhongyuan suddenly leaned closer, startling Su Yujiao, who leaned back slightly and frowned at him, disliking people who had no sense of boundaries.
The man smiled and said, "I wanted to ask you, what have you thought about what happened last time?"
Su Yujiao's face immediately darkened: "I wouldn't even be Lu Ziqian's legal wife, why would I be your concubine?"
"I've heard that your concubines weren't treated like human beings before you were in power, and you can give them to whomever you want."
“I don’t have that kind of hobby, and Your Highness doesn’t find it dirty.”
Chu Zhongyuan was taken aback at first, then chuckled softly: "So it was you who was spying on me from the rooftop that day."
"The county princess has quite unique tastes!"
