CHAPTER 478 (2): GIVE IT BACK TO ME

Tan Ge became even more frantic at that thought. This jade pendant belongs to Su Xi-er, which means that this man before me is definitely related to her in some way.

Now that I have claimed that the jade pendant belongs to me, I can’t change my story unless I no longer want to live. Since I have already taken this step, I must continue the act. This is an opportunity, but a very dangerous one; a single misstep, and my life would be forfeit.

Meanwhile, Su Xi-er was no longer in a mood to go to the tavern after the incident with the old auntie, so she brought Hong Li and Ruo Yuan back to the Prince Hao Residence.

Pei Qianhao had already come back from the morning court assembly, and was waiting for her in the main hall with Situ Lin.

Situ Lin originally wanted to flash a wide grin when he saw Su Xi-er, but upon noticing Hong Li and Ruo Yuan, he immediately became solemn. “Imperial Aunt, where have you been? This Emperor and Imperial Uncle have waited for a very long time.”

“I went out for a casual stroll through the streets.” Su Xi-er faintly smiled, then looked towards Hong Li and Ruo Yuan. “Go to the kitchen and bring some fruits.”

“This servant obeys the order.” The two of them replied and left the main hall.

After they had disappeared from sight, Situ Lin immediately pulled on Su Xi-er’s sleeve, sweetly saying, “Imperial Aunt, you clearly said that you would come visit the Dragon Heaven Palace before you got married, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Are you going back on your words?”

Right after he finished speaking, he could feel a harsh gaze shoot towards him. He immediately released Su Xi-er and retreated to a side, looking at Pei Qianhao as he muttered, “Imperial Uncle, you once promised me that you would still come and stay over in the Dragon Heaven Palace for short periods of time even after you get married.”
