Xiyan hurriedly took out a wooden box from the side. "Third Young Madam, the jewelry you wore this morning are all here. As for your clothes, the Princess Consort's wet nurse said that they were tainted with bad luck and burned them along with the princess's clothes."

Chu Lian nodded and took the wooden box from Xiyan's hands. Xiyan's elbows and legs were only slightly bruised. The rest of her body was fine and unharmed.

She opened the wooden box and poked around. Instantly, Chu Lian's expression darkened. She carefully searched again and found that all of her jewelry was there, except for the Ten Thousand Fortune Jade Pendant!

"Xiyan, when you were helping me pack my things, did you see the jade pendant hanging from my waist this morning?"

Xiyan was also very tired. When she heard this, her face instantly paled. She looked at the wooden box in Chu Lian's hands and remembered that Third Young Madam was indeed wearing a jade pendant in the morning, but it wasn't in the box now.

"Third Young Madam, when this servant was helping you clean up your clothes, I … I didn't see the jade pendant …"

What?!

Chu Lian's body was sore and limp as she leaned against the wall of the carriage. The plot of the original novel kept flashing through Chu Lian's mind.

The Ten Thousand Fortune Jade Pendant was bestowed by Matriarch He when they served tea. Later on, Chu Lian gave it to Xiao Bojian as a token of love when she and Xiao Bojian met.

Xiao Bojian wore it on his waist every day. When He Changdi saw it, he had a huge argument with Chu Lian.

The original Chu Lian turned a blind eye to He Changdi's anger and even met with Xiao Bojian in front of He Changdi.

Chu Lian's head hurt. Did she accidentally drop the jade pendant and Xiao Bojian picked it up? If that was really the case, she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

But then she remembered that she had run a long way to avoid being hunted down at the Defeng Teahouse. It was very likely that she had accidentally dropped it. If it was picked up by someone from the Five Cities Military Office, they might return it to her.

Thinking of this, Chu Lian felt more at ease.

Chu Lian's mind was in a mess when Xiyan knelt down in front of her. "Third Young Madam, it's all this servant's fault. I didn't take care of your things properly. Please punish this servant!"

Chu Lian opened her eyes and sighed. She helped her up, "What does this have to do with you? I lost it by accident. Are you going to stare at the jewelry I'm wearing all the time?!

Forget it, it's just a jade pendant. Next time I see Princess Duanjia, I'll ask her if she saw it. Who knows, I might not have lost it! "

Xiyan glanced at Chu Lian. Seeing that she wasn't angry, she felt even more guilty. as. and felt that Third Third Chu's temper.

If this was in at Ying in Madam, she and Young Liang, Master For her and Madam would's Madam, she would would be would for her.

In Madam, I Madam, you, and for for for, for, for Madam., I, I, Madam. Madam.

Madam. Yang, Madam.,.. for for for..

Chu Lian didn't think of these things as Xiyan did. She was speechless. No matter how hard she tried to hide, she still couldn't avoid meeting Xiao Bojian. Why did she always feel that there was a hand always interfering with the development of things?

. "Chu Lian pouted angrily. She didn't believe it. She would be more careful next time. She didn't believe that she couldn't avoid it!

That damned Xiao Bojian. She didn't want to have anything to do with him. Her carefree life was more important.

Anyone who wanted to disturb her good life would be making things difficult for her!

The carriage moved slowly. When they were about to reach Count Jing 'an's estate, Chu Lian asked Wenlan to help her comb her hair and change into the jewelry she had worn this morning.

At Wei Manor, she had combed her hair into a young girl's bun. Now, she had to change it back. She couldn't wear the phoenix tail hairpin anymore. If someone saw it, they would have more evidence against her.

However, she couldn't change the clothes she had changed into at Wei Manor.

As soon as Chu Lian returned to Count Jing 'an's estate, the news reached Matriarch He and her sister-in-law, Madam Zou.

Chu Lian knew that she couldn't hide what happened today. After she returned to the estate, she didn't immediately return to Songtao Court. Instead, she brought Wenlan and Xiyan to Qingwen Hall.

Madam Zou, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately brought her people to Qingwen Hall.

The two sisters-in-law met in the hallway leading to Qingwen Hall.

Chu Lian had already sensed that Madam Zou was somewhat dissatisfied with her. She immediately acted more appropriately in front of her.

"Greetings, Eldest Sister-in-law." Chu Lian bowed to Madam Zou.

Madam Zou took two steps forward and hurriedly helped her up by the arm. Her eyes constantly looked her up and down. When she saw the material of her dress, her eyes trembled. However, there was a smile on her lips. "Sister-in-law's dress is quite different from the one you wore this morning."

Soft fragrance silk!

Tribute!

Even the imperial family didn't have much of this material. It was a tribute from a small country in the southwest. Only noblewomen in the imperial family could wear it.

Concubine De received two bolts last year and gave half to the wife of the heir of Marquis Ding Yuan. The wife used the other half to make a dress. At the Orchid Festival, she was in the limelight. Now, Chu Lian was wearing a dress made of this material.

Chu Lian's head hurt. She knew it would be like this. She could only patiently explain to Madam Zou.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, something happened at the Wei Wangfu. Let's go to Qingwen Hall. Sister-in-law will tell you and grandmother in detail. Sister-in-law's dress originally belonged to Princess Duanjia. Princess Duanjia only lent it to Sister-in-law to wear."

Madam Zou was shocked!

Princess Duanjia's dress!

Since when did Chu Lian and Princess Duanjia have such a good relationship? Princess Duanjia was actually able to reward her with such an expensive dress. Looking at this dress, it was brand new and beautiful. It was as if it had never been worn after it was made.

She immediately suppressed the shock in her heart and went to Qingwen Hall with Chu Lian.

After she told Old Matriarch what happened today, Chu Lian was escorted back to Songtao Yuan by Liu momo to rest. She looked slightly tired.

When Madam Zou returned to the courtyard, she kept calculating in her heart. She didn't expect that Chu Lian would receive such a great benefit just by going out. Not only did she have a connection with the Wei Wangfu, but even Prince Jin received her kindness.

In this way, Chu Lian would definitely go to the Wei Wangfu again. Zou momo already had a plan in her heart.

Liu momo came back from Songtao Yuan with her maidservants. She saw that the Old Matriarch was still sitting on the small couch in the Flower Hall. The candlelight beside her flickered. Her eyes were deep, as if she was deep in thought.

Liu momo walked to the Old Matriarch's side and reached out to gently massage the Old Matriarch's shoulders: "Old Matriarch, are you thinking about Third Grandmother?"

The Old Matriarch let out a long sigh: "This old one didn't expect that girl to have such a good fortune."

"It's also because Third Grandmother is bold, careful, kind, and affectionate. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come up with a plan to save Princess Duanjia in that kind of situation. In this old servant's opinion, His Highness Prince Jin was saved today thanks to Third Grandmother!

If it wasn't for Third Grandmother asking Wenlan to invite the people of the Five Cities Military Office, how could we catch the assassin so quickly? "
