Princess Changning had long forgotten that she had met Lu Zhaoling when she was a child.

Lu Zhaoling knew it from her reaction just now, so she had to check whether the things she took away that year were still there.

Lu Zhaoling walked to the lake and saw a small ball of wealth emerging from under the water lily leaves not far from the shore.

The fortune is actually in the water, so doesn't she have to fish it out?

It would be a waste if you don’t take advantage of it.

Lu Zhaoling looked around and found a branch as long as his arm.

She picked it up, walked to the water's edge, and without rushing to fish anything out, sat down on a rock nearby.

Even if she wanted to fish it out, she wouldn't let anyone see it.

Behind her, Lu Zhaoyun's eyes were still scanning her.

Lu Zhaoling took a branch and tapped the water surface as if she was playing. To others, she was just playing with water out of boredom.

Princess Changning also took a look, then quickly looked away.

She said to Shen Xiangjun, "Xiangjun, I don't think she's a threat. Look at how crude she is. How could Uncle Jin Wang really like her? There must be some reason behind this arranged marriage."

Shen Xiangjun forced a smile, "I'm fine."

She let Princess Changning know that she loved Prince Jin, of course hoping to get her help.

Everything was ready, but who could have thought that Prince Jin would be robbed by such a little bitch on his first day back in Beijing?

This caught her completely off guard.

"I know you are just pretending to be calm, and you must be feeling very aggrieved. Don't worry, I will help you find out the reason. I only recognize you as my aunt." Princess Changning said.

"Princess, please don't talk nonsense." Shen Xiangjun was embarrassed, but relieved in her heart.

With the help of Princess Changning, it should be possible, right?

After all, Princess Changning was the eldest princess's beloved daughter, and both the emperor and the empress doted on her. Because the princess and her brother and sister-in-law did not get along, the emperor also awarded her a separate princess's mansion.

When he felt that everyone's eyes were shifting away from him, Lu Zhaoling made his move like lightning.

She had already set her sights on the thing in the water. She picked up the branch and quickly retracted it, immediately taking the thing that was hooked into her hand.

The small package was wrapped in a silk handkerchief and tied with a ribbon, which she hooked with a branch.

Generally speaking, the treasures that Lu Zhaoling would pick up were those that had been cut off from the cause and effect and were definitely ownerless.

In other words, if she didn't take it, the thing would remain there forever, and it wouldn't ruin other people's business or take away other people's fortune just because she picked it up.

But as soon as she held this small package in her hand, she felt a hint of cause and effect.

Lu Zhaoling frowned.

She untied it immediately.

There turned out to be a private seal inside. The seal was made of extremely high-quality jade, which was soft to the touch, with fine texture, and carved with pine and crane.

There is a name on the seal.

The old man praised it.

Who is Weng Songzhi? She doesn't know him either.

But there is a trace of cause and effect in this thing. Maybe the owner of the seal got sick because he lost the seal? Or missed some opportunity?

If this happened, she only had two choices: throw it back into the water, or take it to find its owner and end the cause and effect.

Lu Zhaoling didn't hesitate for long. She put the seal in her arms, picked up a small stone and wrapped it back, tied the ribbon again, and threw it back into the water.

The seal is good, but she despises the silk handkerchief because it is stained with bad luck. It is obvious that the silk handkerchief and the seal do not belong to the same owner.

At this time, a maid came over with a tray.

"Miss, please have some fruit tea."

Lu Zhaoling looked up and saw seven or eight small porcelain cups on her tray.

Behind her, several maids were walking along the path, each holding a tray in their hands.

They were probably passing by here to deliver food and drinks to the guests. It seemed reasonable for them to invite Lu Zhaoling for a cup of fruit tea when they saw her first.

Lu Zhaoling stood up.

The maid brought the tray to her. There were several cups filled with sweet-smelling fruit tea, and the portions were about the same.

Lu Zhaoling was indeed a little thirsty, so she took a cup and said, "Thank you."

The maid bowed slightly and walked away with the remaining fruit tea. The maids who came over next were carrying different things, but they all looked like small and exquisite foods.

Princess Changning also provided vegetarian meals today, but Lu Zhaoling did not expect that she would use such a new way.

Holding the fruit tea, she looked towards the garden and discovered that there was another table next to the pavilion with all the food on it.

Whether to copy the scriptures or not is another matter. If there is any food, she might as well try it.

Lu Zhaoling looked at the fruit tea in the cup and took a sip.

Not far away, Lu Zhaoyun quickly withdrew her gaze. She was a little nervous.

Fortunately, Lu Zhaoling drank it.

Lu Zhaoling came back with the cup in her hand, and Princess Changning called her.

"Lu Zhaoling, come and eat! For the sake of your uncle, the Prince of Jin, I will not treat you harshly. After you finish eating, quickly copy the scriptures."

The others had already sat down at the table. Lu Zhaoling took a quick look and saw that their maids all seemed to be holding scriptures, and it seemed that they had already chosen what to copy.

She walked up to Princess Changning and said, "Give me back what you owed me."

Princess Changning was stunned, and then became angry.

"This is ridiculous! When did I ever owe you anything? You are in the countryside, and I have never left the capital!"

"A string of bells. Do you remember?"

That string of bells was something that Lu Xiaoke accidentally exchanged from an old man.

The old man said that he had not eaten for three days and was almost starving to death. Poor little Lu happened to pass by with two sesame cakes wrapped in oil paper in her hand. She had bought them with the copper coins she had saved for a long time. Seeing that the old man felt sorry for her, she gave him the two sesame cakes.

The old man touched his pocket and gave her a string of small bells, saying it was an exchange.

Poor Lu was walking home while shaking the little bell, when she ran into Princess Changning who was strolling out with several maids.

For some reason, she immediately fell in love with the bell in Lu Xiaolian's hand and rushed over to snatch it away.

"That's my..."

"Give me a few days to play! If you have any problems, just come to me and I'll help you! I'm the Princess of Changning!"

Princess Changning said this nonchalantly at that time and ran away.

Later, poor Lu was going to be sent to the countryside. She felt scared and thought of Princess Changning's promise. She wanted to ask her for help, but Princess Changning refused to see her.

When poor little Lu was bullied by the Lu family in the countryside and was injured and sick, she would occasionally think of this incident. The little girl always naively thought that it was the princess who said she would help her, and if she didn't, she had to return the little bell to her.

Now when Lu Zhaoling recalled the string of little bells, she always felt that it was a little special and she had to take it back to have a look.

Princess Changning had long forgotten about this incident from her childhood, as she had often stolen other people's things in the past.

"What does the sheriff want a string of bells for? Ridiculous."
