"Miss Chu, I've left." Qin Li said after noticing Yang's quietly leaving figure.

Chu Huanyan glanced back, then smiled and thanked Qin Li: "Thank you, Guard Qin, for your cooperation."

"Miss Chu, my subordinates don't understand. Since Lin Zeyuan is already in prison and you have ways to threaten the Yang family, why do you still come here like this?"

Wouldn't it be enough to just use Lin Zeyuan to threaten Yang and ask her to hand over the jade pendant?

"If it is just a threat, Yang may not be obedient, and according to Lin Zeyuan's temperament, Yang may threaten me in turn. That jade pendant is very important to me, and I don't want any accidents to happen."

But it was different when Qin Li cooperated in performing such a scene. Yang must have hated herself so much in her heart now. If she could see another way, she would definitely not be willing to take the one that made her wish come true.

Therefore, Yang is very likely to take the jade pendant and go to the Prince's Mansion to try his luck.

Qin Li thought for a while, nodded and said: "I understand, please rest assured, Miss Chu. If Yang really arrives at the Prince's Mansion with the jade pendant, I will immediately send you a message."

With that said, Qin Li took out the banknote from his sleeve and handed it back to Xianyue.

"Thank you, Guard Qin." Chu Huanyan nodded and spoke.

Seeing Chu Huanyan about to leave, Qin Li suddenly stopped her again.

"Miss Chu..."

"Is there anything else, Guard Qin?" Chu Huanyan asked.

Qin Li hesitated for a moment, then knelt down in front of Chu Huanyan, cupping his hands and fists.

"I would like to apologize to Miss Chu."

"Why apologize?" Chu Huanyan was confused.

Qin Li was silent for a while and then said: "Before, my subordinate gave His Highness an idea, which was harmful to Miss Chu."

Seeing Chu Huanyan frowning, Qin Li said hurriedly: "But don't worry, Miss Chu, the idea was rejected by His Highness as soon as she said it, and I was punished by His Highness for thirty sticks because of it, and I have now realized my mistake. "

"Why did Guard Qin inform me of this matter?"

She really couldn't think of what the idea was and why, but looking at Qin Li's appearance, it seemed that he didn't intend to tell the specific reason.

"Miss Chu." Qin Li raised his head and looked directly at Chu Huanyan, "I feel guilty about that matter. It is true that I made such a suggestion out of confusion. But I didn't say it at this time to ask for Miss Chu's forgiveness. But I hope Miss Chu can understand that no matter what His Highness’s reputation is, His Highness... is really a very good person!"

Chu Huanyan became more and more confused. Is Xiao Jinzhi really a very good person? so what?

Seeing that Chu Huanyan didn't understand, Qin Li sighed in his heart and said: "Although His Highness has the status of a prince, his life has not been easy these years. It is inconvenient for other subordinates to say more. I only hope that Miss Chu can be reconciled." Like others, they were prejudiced against His Highness from the beginning."

After saying this, Qin Li apologized again, stood up and left.

Chu Huanyan stood there, quite confused.

She didn't quite understand why Qin Li suddenly said these words. After all, according to the current situation, her attitude towards Xiao Jinzhi was not important.

Even if the other party's life is difficult, he still has the status of His Royal Highness anyway. How he views him will not have any impact on Xiao Jinzhi's status and situation, at least for the time being.

"Xian Yue, do you understand what Qin Li just said?" Chu Huanyan turned to look at Xian Yue. Could it be that she had overlooked something?

"Go back to Miss, I understand!"

Under Chu Huanyan's waiting gaze, Xian Yue spoke with a serious face.

"We must be careful about this Qin Li in the future. He actually wants to harm the young lady. He is not a good person!"

Fortunately, she thought before that this Qin guard was good at martial arts, good-looking, and kind-hearted. But now it seems that she is really blind!

Chu Huanyan: "..."

……

In the evening, Yang went to the Hou Mansion again.

After persuading Chu Huanyan to save people first but being rejected, just as Chu Huanyan expected, she decided to go to the Prince's Mansion.

At noon on the second day, Chu Huanyan got the news that Yang had entered the Prince's Mansion.

In the study room, it was almost noon after reading the account book in front of me. Chu Huanyan closed the account book in front of her, stood up and moved her stiff body.

I guessed that the time was almost up, and I was about to send someone to the Prince's Mansion to inquire whether Yang had handed over the jade pendant. As soon as I left the study, I saw Xiao Jinzhi in the small garden outside the study.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." After being slightly stunned, Chu Huanyan leaned over and saluted.

"Miss Chu, you don't have to be polite. In order not to attract other people's attention, I climbed over the wall and came in. Please don't blame Miss Chu." There was a smile in Xiao Jinzhi's eyes and tone.

"Your Highness said something serious, and I would like to thank you for thinking about my daughter."

The Yang family had just been to the Prince's Mansion. If Xiao Jinzhi came to the Marquis' Mansion in such a arrogant manner, it would naturally arouse people's suspicion. And even if Yang didn't notice, there was still a third prince who had just tested his relationship with Xiao Jinzhi.

Seeing Xiao Jinzhi walking in front of her, Chu Huanyan said again: "I don't know where the Yang family is?"

Xiao Jinzhi stretched out his hand, and what was placed in his palm was a white jade pendant. "It's just as Miss Chu expected, but I don't know if this one is the one left by the parents of Marquis Ning'an."

He tried to test the origin of this jade pendant. Yang claimed that it was passed down from his ancestors. One look at the appearance and he knew that he was lying.

However, this alone cannot confirm that this is the one Chu Huanyan wants.

Chu Huanyan took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

It was carved from a single piece of white jade, with a round body and fine patterns engraved on it, with a hollow in the middle.

"The carving on it does look like my mother's handiwork, and the pattern is also somewhat familiar."

It's like I've seen it before somewhere.

Suppressing her thoughts, Chu Huanyan said to Xiao Jinzhi: "Is it true or false? I will verify it later. Thank you for your help, Your Highness."

"Miss Chu, you don't have to be polite." Xiao Jinzhi's smile became stronger. After a moment of silence, he said to Chu Huanyan, "Miss Chu, don't you invite me to come in and sit down, or listen to the conditions proposed by Yang."

This place is a bit far away from the front hall, and since Xiao Jinzhi came quietly without anyone announcing it, it was naturally not easy for him to go to the front hall and let everyone see him.

Although there was a study room behind him, it was also equipped with chairs and desks, so Chu Huanyan invited Xiao Jinzhi to sit in the study room.

"Let Lin Zeyuan go, clear her son's name, and if possible, support her talented son more in the future, and..." Xiao Jinzhi paused and looked at Chu Huanyan, "Other than that Besides, she also put forward a condition.”
