"Now that we have figured it out, we can prevent you, Miss Lu, from causing trouble for our young lady in the future."

Lu Haoran's face suddenly darkened: "Xu Jinyi, you just watch your maid humiliate us like this, right?"

Through the small window of the sedan, Xu Jinyi's sullen face was revealed.

"Liuli is right. It's better to confront the prince face to face even if it's about money."

"There is one more thing. The thousand-year-old jade pendant hanging around your waist is a token of my mother's love for you. I hope you can return it to its original owner."

Lu Haoran's face turned pale, and his hands involuntarily covered the priceless spiritual jade around his waist.

He felt warm at first, but Lu Haoran felt a chill in his heart.

This spiritual jade is rare in the world. It keeps warm in winter and cool in summer. It can prolong the life of the wearer. It was given by the late emperor.

When he first got this spiritual jade, he invited his classmates to come and admire it. He still remembers their envious looks.

Asking him to return the Lingyu now would be more painful than killing him.

This is a spiritual jade. Wearing it on his body, he feels superior to others and his steps are as brisk as the wind when he walks out.

He had long regarded the Lingyu as his own property, but with so many people staring at it, he could only grit his teeth and hand it over.

"Your Highness, please be careful. This spiritual jade is not as fragile as ordinary jade. If you accidentally drop it, it will also have flaws."

How could Xu Jinyi not see his little thoughts? This kind of person can't get what he wants, and no one else can get it either.

Lu Haoran's hand froze just as he was about to let go. With so many people staring at his hand, he could only hand it over reluctantly.

"Xiao Jin, the door of our mansion is always open for you. If you have figured it out, come find me. I will wait for you."

Looking at the frustrated expressions of the two siblings, Xu Jinyi was happy.

"Liuli, let's go."

"—"

Yijing Garden has a large warehouse. Xu Jinyi asked Tong Mama and Liuli to keep an eye on all the things, while she asked Liusu to help her change out of her wedding dress first.

When the wedding dress was taken off and the snow-white skin was exposed, Liusu stared at the figure that could drive men crazy, and a look of jealousy flashed across her eyes.

"Miss, the prince just promised to give you the position of principal wife, why don't you agree?"

"The princess instructed us to take good care of you and serve you in the mansion. How angry would the princess be if you knew what I did?"

Xu Jinyi did not answer her. She put on a lavender chest-length skirt, which perfectly outlined her wavy chest, making her look very charming.

"Miss, are you angry and want to deliberately leave the prince alone for a few days? Let me tell you, Miss, you can't make a fuss for too long. What if the prince takes it seriously, then..."

Xu Jinyi looked at her coldly: "As a maid, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at my affairs?!"

Liusu's eyes widened and she didn't react.

I only heard Xu Jinyi's cold words continue to come to my mind: "Kneel down, who allowed you to stand and talk to this princess?"

The voice was so harsh that Liusu's heart trembled.

Over the years, she and Liuli have been Xu Jinyi's maids, but they have been treated very well.

Xu Jinyi was approachable and relaxed with them, rarely scolding them.

In front of her, Liusu always said whatever she wanted to say, and never expected that Xu Jinyi would suddenly speak so harshly.

"Miss? Are you unhappy and angry?"

"Kneel down! When is it your turn as a maid to guess my feelings? Have you forgotten your identity? I am the master and you are the slave. As a slave, you should have your own duties."

"Don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't do what you shouldn't do. It's okay that you have been unruly many times in the past, but you must never behave like a slave in the future."

Liusu had never seen Xu Jinyi like this before. She nodded slightly and slowly knelt down.

Looking at Xu Jinyi, whose rosy face and straight posture, a strong sense of humiliation surged in her heart, and Liusu hated Xu Jinyi very much.

"What are you looking at? Didn't anyone teach you how to kneel when you entered the mansion?"

Liusu could only lower her head in silence, cursing Xu Jinyi in her heart.

Xu Jinyi didn't let her get up. She sat in front of the dressing table and took off the gold hairpins on her head.

The original owner's appearance and figure were both excellent and did not need any adjustments. Her charming and beautiful gestures were enough to mesmerize people.

The first thing he did was to get married, so Xu Jinyi didn't have time to sort out the original owner's memories.

Combined with the information Xiao Qi gave me, I guessed that the original owner's wish was very simple.

"Xiao Qi, does the original owner want me to help her find out the truth and clear the name of the General's Mansion? Rescue her parents and then take revenge on the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion?"

"Yes, Yiyi, the original owner hopes that you will take vengeance on the Marquis' Mansion, trample them under your feet, and make them regret doing this to you."

In her previous life, the original owner was trapped and died in that small courtyard. She gave birth to two children for Lu Haoran, but they were adopted under the name of his wife Huo Bier at birth.

They were raised in a wrong way and regarded her, their biological mother, as an enemy and a shame, but the original owner was still worried about them.

So he did not dare to commit suicide, and never stepped out of that small courtyard until his death.

Therefore, the original owner's wish was not to take the lives of the Lu family, but to make them suffer and regret.

After sorting out everything, Xu Jinyi asked: "What is the current situation in the General's Mansion?"

"Who is the male lead?"

With the memories of her previous life, she knew that her parents were still safe now, but in three months the whole family would be wiped out.

The original owner was stupid at that time. After listening to Lu Haoran and Liusu, in order to reassure her mother, she actually did not return to the capital.

This also meant that even with the original owner's memories, Xu Jinyi didn't know what the exact situation was in the General's Mansion.

There is just one thing that is clear.

Her father must be innocent, because she knew how much her father hated war and how much he hated those in the enemy country who provoked and started the war.

She often heard him scolding the enemy at home, so it was impossible for her father to do anything like treason.

So his father must be in the way of others: "Is the man the emperor?"

"The emperor has no heir, and the royal family is ready to make a move. People in the court are starting to take sides. My father has a large army, so he will definitely be the object of everyone's fight."

"He has always been upright, neutral, and loyal to the emperor. I'm afraid he has offended those people."

“That’s why this disaster happened.”

Xiao Qi was stunned. Her reasoning was simply impeccable. It was too amazing.

"Am I wrong?"

Xiao Qi looked listless: "No, I just think you are too smart, Yiyi, and it seems that I am of no help to you at all."

"Do you feel sorry for me?" Xu Jinyi asked back with a smile on his face.

Xiao Qi nodded.

"Why don't you help me find out where the emperor is now? Only by getting close to him can we find out why my father was convicted."
