Chapter 394 How Come You Also Have that Jade Pendant?

The black cat, which was originally aggressive, was about to rush into the sedan chair when a huge beast rushed out.

It screamed in fear and ran away with all four claws.

The lynx followed the black cat, chasing it relentlessly, jumping up and down, and the palace people passing by exclaimed.

Shen Ningning asked the palace servants to stop the sedan chair, and she walked out slowly.

"Humph, who doesn't have a cat!" She originally wanted to bring the Black Wolf King with her today.

But then she thought, how could she bring a wolf to deal with a cat?

So she caught a cute little one from the forest.

The lynx was about to catch up with the black cat in a few steps, and their figures suddenly climbed over the wall garden.

Suddenly!

Shen Ningning heard a woman's shrill scream from next door.

Accompanied by the shouts of the palace people: "It's not good, come quickly, Concubine Qi fell into the lake!"

The sedan bearers beside Shen Ningning were immediately scared when they heard it.

"Oh no, that lynx scared Concubine Qi into the water?"

"Will the emperor punish us..."

After all, the emperor and the prince would definitely not be willing to scold the princess.

But they may not.

Shen Ningning's big, moist, black eyes were calm.

"What are you afraid of? Let's go and see. It's hot today, and she can't be drowned."

Besides, even if she drowned, Concubine Qi, the bad guy, deserved it!

Shen Ningning walked through the hanging flower gate in front with her little feet.

Her lynx had already held the cat named Black Li in its mouth, and blood dripped from its sharp fangs.

The lynx didn't eat, but just played. When it saw Shen Ningning coming, it decisively ran over with the black cat in its mouth.

As if asking for credit, it placed the "trophy" in front of her little feet.

The black cat didn't dare to move. The two shallow blood holes on its belly made it tremble with pain.

After seeing Shen Ningning, the pair of green cat eyes no longer had the arrogance they had before.

Instead, they were trembling with fear.

"Be good." Shen Ningning raised her little hand and rubbed the lynx's round head.

She looked forward and saw the wet Concubine Qi being fished out by the Qinxin Lake not far away.

The sedan bearer found out clearly and ran to report in a low voice.

"Your Highness, Concubine Qi was taking a walk by the lake just now. Unexpectedly, the black cat jumped into Concubine Qi's arms. The lynx chased after her and frightened Concubine Qi so much that she jumped into the lake herself."

Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips and hummed twice.

Is she scared now?

She hasn't mentioned Concubine Qi's black cat, which has tried to hurt her several times!

Over there, Concubine Qi was soaked and had long lost her previous dignity.

"Where is my pendant? My pendant fell into the lake!" Her hand touched her empty neck, her face full of panic.

In Shen Ningning's impression, Concubine Qi was meticulous and scheming, and she had never had such a moment of hesitation and anxiety.

She originally wanted to take the lynx away, but after seeing this scene, she decided to stay and see what kind of pendant could make Concubine Qi lose her composure?

Concubine Qi ordered all the palace maids to jump into the water to find the pendant for her.

The palace maids who couldn't swim were also pushed into the lake by her.

"Find it! You must find it! Otherwise, I will report to the emperor and punish you to death!"

The palace maids trembled and groped back and forth in the water.

Just then.

A little eunuch emerged from the water and held up a necklace.

"My queen, I found it!"

Shen Ningning looked closely.

Under the bright sunlight, the silver pendant shone brightly.

In a flash, the little guy saw clearly that it was actually a jade rabbit pendant.

And she had seen the appearance of the jade rabbit!

Shen Ningning opened her big watery eyes.

When Wanchun sorted out the belongings of the maid Wenxiu, she found the jade rabbit given by her mother Shen Siyi, which was engraved with the words "Moon Landing".

Now, the jade rabbit on this pendant that Concubine Qi treasured is exactly the same as the one Shen Siyi gave to Wenxiu!

Shen Ningning took two steps forward, and before she could take a closer look, Concubine Qi had hurriedly put it back around her neck and stuffed it into her lapel.

She covered her heart with her hands, closed her eyes and murmured: "Fortunately, fortunately it was not lost."

Shen Ningning's eyes revealed suspicion.

Could this jade rabbit also be given to her by her mother when she was good friends with Concubine Qi?

During the little girl's hesitation, Concubine Qi had already calmed down, and her expression returned to the calm and gentle mask of the past.

She wiped the lake water off her face with a palace maid's handkerchief, and then came to Shen Ningning.

The little guy looked up at her. The sunlight shone from behind Concubine Qi, making her eyes look dark and gloomy, with a faint sneer on her lips.

"Your Highness, how can you allow wild beasts to run rampant in the palace?"

She lowered her head and glanced at the injured and panting black cat. With a pain in her eyes, she bent down and picked up the black cat.

"The black cat drove away the plague in the palace and has been praised by the emperor many times. Your Highness's wild beast bit it. If it dies, how should I explain to the emperor?"

Shen Ningning's round eyes were dark, reflecting the clear blue sky.

"You are not the only cat in the world. Besides, if it hadn't wanted to hurt me first, I wouldn't have let the big cat bite it."

"My brother can also testify to this. If you don't agree, just complain to the emperor."

After that, Shen Ningning hooked her little finger: "Big cat, let's go."

The lynx licked its sharp teeth twice and glanced at the black cat on the ground with greedy eyes.

It's a pity that the little master didn't let it eat.

Otherwise, it would have been chewed up by the black cat with skin and bones.

Looking at Shen Ningning's petite figure going away, Concubine Qi's black hair stuck to her forehead, and her eyes were cold.

…

The entire Li family was executed, and no one was left alive.

But Li Yuyi cursed Xie Yuanjiu's name until her death, cursing her to die a bad death, and said that she had harmed her entire family and would not let her go even if she became a ghost.

This matter spread in the capital, and everyone speculated what Xie Yuanjiu had done to the Li family.

Xie Suzhi and Xie Erye had heard about it.

They guessed that Li Yuyi was probably resentful because Xie Yuanjiu brought her and Lord Li into the Xie Mansion, but accidentally bumped into the emperor.

The noble families in the city had a lot of complaints about Xie Yuanjiu's actions.

Families with daughters among the nobles had privately warned their daughters to have less contact with Xie Yuanjiu.

Lest they be used by her.

Xie Yuanjiu went to the Xie Mansion many times, wanting to cry to Xie Erye about her current situation and how unpopular she was.

However, Mr. Xie didn't want to see her and refused to let her out of the study every time.

Xie Yuanjiu was disheartened.

Especially after living in the other courtyard, she felt unhappy everywhere.

Compared with the Xie Mansion, the current house is really too small.

This day.

In order to make money, Xu Jingxi took a private painting job through the introduction of a neighbor when he was not studying.

He brought his tools to the secluded mansion, mixed the paint, and just climbed up the ladder to start working.

He heard a sneer from behind.

"Xu Jingxi, the genius prodigy who entered the National Academy with the second place, also has to rely on this kind of work to make money?"

Xu Jingxi turned around and saw Xie Yuanjiu standing in the corridor, with a harmless smile, but a tone full of sarcasm.

He frowned slightly.

Xu Jingxi didn't expect that the owner of this mansion was actually Xie Yuanjiu.

He didn't want to have a conflict, so he painted with a cold face and said nothing.

Xie Yuanjiu was relentless and walked slowly to the ladder: "Are you short of money? Why don't you ask the princess for a loan? I remember your relationship is pretty good, right?"

Xu Jingxi's jawline tightened: "The princess is only kind for a moment and lends a helping hand. If I ask the princess for help every time, what's the difference between me and a beggar?"

Xie Yuanjiu sneered.

Useless backbone.

Xu Jingxi knew the grudge between her and Shen Ningning, so she wanted to put down the paint and leave immediately.

But Grandpa Xu was in poor health and needed money for many places.

He also had to buy himself pens and ink to read.

So he endured it.

Xie Yuanjiu looked up at him for a while, and his voice was soft, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

"The hand you use to write should be very important, right?"

Before Xu Jingxi could react, she felt the ladder being pushed by someone when she said this.

He swayed violently, trying to grab something, but he grabbed nothing.

"Bang!"

Xu Jingxi fell directly from the ladder, his right arm pressed on the hard ground, and he groaned in pain.
