After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

She worked hard to give him advice.

He also trusted and favored her, and even confessed his love to her more than once.

She believed it.

She worked even harder for him.

Looking back now, all those good deeds he did personally were just to win the hearts of the people, and his confession of love to her only made her more loyal.

He is very good at taking advantage of people's hearts.

For three years, she had kept her skin dark, eyebrows thick and eyelashless. She had planned to surprise him with her beautiful appearance when he entered the East Palace, but she never expected that day would never come.

Curling her lips sarcastically, she withdrew her thoughts.

Just as I was about to get up, my ear suddenly moved.

With her hearing as a martial artist, she heard footsteps entering the gate of Fangfei Garden. There were two people coming, and judging from the speed of their footsteps, they looked very aggressive.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be Yan Xuanji, who came to her to ask for pastries.

Ning Miao's eyes moved slightly and he gave instructions to Chunlan.

"Chunlan, go to the drawer of the bedside table and take out Yanlang's jade pendant. I will marry with this jade pendant the day after tomorrow, and I want to make a wedding necklace for it so that I can wear it on my body."

Chunlan went to get it immediately.

When she walked over, Ning Miao's hand under the sleeve of her pajamas moved slightly, and a tiny bead on a hair accessory flew over quietly. Chunlan stepped on it and suddenly slipped, falling to the ground with a "thump".

The jade pendant in his hand flew out of his hand, hit the ground, and instantly broke into two pieces.

It happened so suddenly.

Ning Miao was shocked, and Chunlan was even more dumbfounded, and they even forgot to get up.

When Yan Xuanji and her maid Zi Su came in, they happened to see this scene and were also stunned.

"What's going on?" Yan Xuanji asked.

Chunlan came to her senses and looked at the jade pendant that was broken into two pieces on the ground. Her face turned pale and even her lips had lost their color.

It’s over.

That was the only thought in her mind.

"You broke my eldest brother's jade pendant?" Yan Xuanji reacted and asked in surprise.

He quickly walked forward and picked up the two halves of the jade pendant to look at them.

Ning Miao walked over and took the two halves of the jade pendant from her hand: "Don't worry, third sister, this is not Yan Lang's piece."

Then he closed his five fingers, grasped the jade pendant in his palm, leaned over and helped Chunlan, who was still lying on the ground, up.

"Isn't it? I think it's that piece. Let me see it again." Yan Xuanji stretched out his hand.

Ning Miao naturally didn't give it.

"This is my own jade pendant. Chunlan and I were just rehearsing the wedding ceremony the day after tomorrow. I have kept Yanlang's jade pendant well. Don't worry, third sister."

Ning Miao finished his words calmly, and without giving the other party a chance to reply, he changed the subject.

"Are you here for the cakes? Don't worry, I will go to Cai Lian Zhai to queue up at 5 a.m. tomorrow. After buying them, I should be able to catch up with the second young master when he leaves the court. Although I don't know how to get to your school, the second young master knows. I will ask him to take me there. I should be able to catch up with your competition and won't delay your business."

When Yan Xuanji heard that Yan Mobai could go to school tomorrow, her eyes suddenly lit up and she no longer even remembered about looking at the jade pendant.

Excited: "Are you serious, sister-in-law?"

Ning Miao nodded.

Yan Xuanji looked at her, somewhat unconvinced. She didn't believe that she could convince her stubborn second brother who wouldn't give face to anyone.

But seeing Ning Miao's confident look, she decided to trust her for the time being.

After all, she couldn't invite the big Buddha by herself.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for my sister-in-law and my second brother tomorrow. My sister-in-law must keep her word."

Ning Miao smiled: "Yeah."

Yan Xuanji left happily with Zi Su.

After leaving Fangfei Garden, Zi Su couldn't help but say, "Miss, the jade pendant that was broken into two pieces looks quite similar to the eldest master's jade pendant."

Yan Xuanji just remembered this: "Oh, I forgot to ask her to show me Big Brother's jade pendant."

He immediately turned around and prepared to go back, but then stopped after thinking about it.

She was still counting on this woman to take her second brother to school tomorrow. Now that she went back to see the jade pendant, didn't it mean that she didn't trust her?

It’s better not to offend her for the time being.

"Forget it. I don't think she would lie. You know, they are getting married the day after tomorrow. If it really broke, what would they use for the wedding ceremony? She wouldn't have reacted like that just now."

Zi Su thought about it and agreed: "Indeed, she doesn't seem panicked at all, it shouldn't be the eldest son's jade pendant."

"Ah."

-

In the side room, Ning Miao quickly closed the door, then came to the table, sat down on the stool, unfolded the two halves of the jade pendant in his hand, and looked at them carefully under the lamp. His face was pale, his jaw was tight, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into small hills.

Seeing her like this, Chunlan became even more flustered.

Although the eldest lady was kind-hearted and concealed the matter for her in front of Yan Xuanji, saying that it was her own jade pendant, but she knew that it was the eldest son's jade pendant that was broken, and truth would come out sooner or later, so this matter could not be concealed at all.

Because they are going to get married with the jade pendant the day after tomorrow.

How to do?

Not to mention that this jade pendant is very valuable, just look at the eldest son's current situation. The purpose of getting married is to bring good luck, but the jade pendant that represents the eldest son broke before the wedding. This is a very bad omen and extremely unlucky.

How could the Marquis and the First Lady let her, the culprit, go?

Given their personalities, they would definitely take her life.

Chunlan was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes. She knelt down in front of Ning Miao with a plop.

"Madam, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know how I fell down, I..."

Ning Miao looked up at her and sighed: "I know you didn't mean it."

"What should I do now? The Marquis and the Madam will surely beat me to death. Madam, I don't want to die. Please save me, please save me..."

Chunlan kowtowed as she spoke, tears streaming down her face.

Ning Miao looked solemn and helpless: "Don't be like this, get up first."

Chunlan didn't listen and continued to kowtow and cry, "Madam, please save this slave..."

"You get up first, and we'll think of a way." Ning Miao stood up and forced her up.

Chunlan's legs were weak and she couldn't even stand. She murmured with a pale face, "What can I do?"

No way.

Ning Miao helped her sit on the stool, then sat down opposite her and picked up the two halves of the jade pendant to examine them again.

"I wonder if I can buy an identical one tomorrow?"

Chunlan shook her head: "You can't buy it. This jade pendant was custom-made by the Marquis. There is no other like it in the world."

Ning Miao frowned and bit his lip in thought.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something: "Oh, by the way, I heard that there is a master named Nie Huan in Ding Yu Xuan in the capital who can repair all kinds of jade. The jade repaired by her is almost intact, but the fee is quite high."

After Ning Miao finished speaking, he stood up, went to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and took out a purse.

"These are the monthly allowances that the eldest lady gave me that day, plus the small amount of change I had originally."

Finally, she took out the two hair ornaments and a pair of earrings she had just removed from her dressing box and said, "Add these and this bracelet, and it should be enough."

As Ning Miao spoke, he took off a jade bracelet from his wrist.
