As night fell, several girls finished washing up and chatted idly in the room.
Chen Nian looked at her leaning against the bed, her clothes loose, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin at the neckline, which was incredibly alluring. A touch of blue was just right to adorn the depths of the V-neck, concealing the mysterious scenery below.
Chen Nian stared at the half-jade pendant that was visible around Cai Lian's neck as she tilted her body, and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
"Cai Cai, can I see what's on your neck?"
"Hmm? You mean this?"
Upon hearing Chen Nian's words, Cai Lian, who was idly looking at the terrain map and seemingly lost in thought, took out the jade pendant from her neck, revealing its full appearance.
"Take it and play with it, but don't break it. This isn't mine."
Seeing that Chen Nian was really curious, Cai Lian simply put her hands behind her neck and started to take off the chain, then gave it to Chen Nian to play with.
Cailian whispered the last four words.
They both knew whose it was.
In fact, she could always sense that the original owner of the body had not disappeared, as if there was some kind of obsession, but she didn't know what it was. Whenever she wanted to suggest that she leave the group to explore on her own, she couldn't open her mouth and express her true thoughts.
She sensed that the original owner must have some unfulfilled wish, but she didn't know what it was, which made her a little depressed.
If she can't fulfill the original owner's wishes, she can't do what she wants to do. How can she build a home for Niannian?
She's so worried.
Just now, she noticed a strong fluctuation of energy when Shen Nian picked up the jade pendant.
It was as if something had finally been noticed.
"Um."
Chen Nian nodded, took the jade pendant in his hand, and examined it carefully.
She felt like she had seen this person somewhere before, as if she had seen them often.
"Qing'er, come quick! Look, don't we have one too?"
The more Chen Nian looked at the face, the more familiar it seemed. Excitedly, he raised his hand to greet Qing'er, who was twisting her hair.
Recalling Cailian's initial statement about going to the capital to find her relatives, she had a bold guess in her mind.
This kind of jade, which is warm in winter and cool in summer and can even nourish the body and prolong life, is not something that ordinary people, concubines, or court officials can possess.
As far as she knew, and if she remembered correctly, because it was so rare and precious, only two families received a share: the Prince Rui's Mansion received a small piece, the Prince Yu's Mansion received a small piece, and the rest belonged to the Emperor.
And now, this really looks a lot like the one she and Qing'er have been with since they were little.
However, since this one wasn't engraved with any patterns or designs, it must have been cut just now, and the owner hadn't had time to polish it.
"What's wrong, Nian Nian?"
Hearing Chen Nian's greeting, Qing'er dried her hair as she approached Chen Nian, who was lying on the bed.
Cailian, listening to Chen Nian's words, forgot all about looking at the topographical map, straightened up, and moved closer to Chen Nian.
"Qing'er, look, doesn't this look just like the one we've had since we were little?"
Seeing Qing'er approach, Chen Nian handed over the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes filled with great anticipation.
While Qing'er was looking, Chen Nian turned to look at Cai Lian.
"Cai Cai, where did you get this? Didn't you say you felt Ziwei looked familiar when you saw her? Didn't you say you wanted to go to the capital to find your relatives?"
One question after another popped up in my mind.
"I've worn it since I was little. Wait a minute, let me think about it. Don't rush, don't rush..."
