The Fortune Of Rebirth: The Counterattack Of The Princess Chapter C40 – It Is His Jade Pendant

Chapter C40 – It Is His Jade Pendant

Proofread by Nie Qiao

Princess Zhaoyan has seen the shoes around Yuling before and it is not an accident to see them, so she didn’t care about them at first.

However, when she saw Yuling’s expression and her subconscious action of pulling her sleeve, Princess Zhaoyan knew that it would not be that simple.

Therefore, in the face of several aggressive inquiries from Liang He, Princess Zhaoyan tried to free her and use herself to cover for Yuling, which made other people unable to find Yuling’s difference.

When Liang He proposed to leave, Princess Zhaoyan was really relieved.

According to Princess Zhaoyan’s character, Princess Zhaoyan would not excuse him if Liang He searched her House and did not find anything. However, this time, Zhaoyan was eager to let Liang He and Yan Ling go.

When Liang He pointed that out at the gate, Princess Zhaoyan really thought that he had found something. She was more nervous, so she hurriedly talked loudly to cover herself up.

Maybe she was really lucky that Liang He didn’t say anything more and left with his people.

After they were gone, Princess Zhaoyan immediately called Yuling to ask what had happened.

Princess Zhaoyan doesn’t think that Yuling would covet the jade pendant given by the Emperor. Then, Yuling can only do this for her lover, otherwise, Yuling will not cover it up for her.

Thinking of this, Princess Zhaoyan feels angry. She knows that Yuling has a lover, but she doesn’t know his name and job.

The first time she contacts with him is because that he has stolen something from the Emperor, which really couldn’t leave a good impression.

“If I’m not wrong, the man who sneaked in last night is hidden by you in the secret tunnel of the back garden.” Princess Zhaoyan concludes definitely.

According to Liang He, the House has been heavily guarded from outside last night, so that man could not escape.

Then, it can be inferred that the man must still be in her House. And the House has been searched by Liang He carefully but no one has been found.

There is a secret tunnel in the Princess’s House. Only princess Zhaoyan and Yuling know it. In this case, does she need to guess again where the man is hiding?

“Please let him go, My Lady. Don’t give him to the Crown Prince. He’s not a thief.” Yuling says in a flurried way. Her face is pale, and she kowtows on the ground constantly.

Princess Zhaoyan feels distressed. She wants to help her up, but at last she clenches her fists and doesn’t move.

“Now don’t you want to explain it clearly? Who on earth is that man? Why did he steal the jade pendant? If you don’t make these things clear, no one can save you.” Shouts Princess Zhaoyan.

“He, he is my lover…” Yuling lowers head. That’s the expected answer.

“But he didn’t mean to rob that jade pendant. It was theirs.” Yuling shakes her head and explains.

Hearing this, Princess Zhaoyan subconsciously thinks that the man cheated Yuling. Everyone knows that the jade pendant is given by the Emperor, how could it be his? Is he the Emperor?

Looking at Princess Zhaoyan’s slightly suspicious eyes, Yuling understands but she doesn’t know how to explain to Princess Zhaoyan. After all, it seems strange to outsiders.

“What the h.e.l.l is going on? You’d better make it clear how that jade pendant is his.” Princess Zhaoyan says with a frown.

Although Princess Zhaoyan had some doubts, she is more convinced that Yuling is not the kind of stupid person.

The origin of that jade pendant has caused an uproar in the capital now. Yuling must have heard of it, but she still believes that man, so there must be a reason.

“I don’t know that very clearly. He’s from the south, not a native. This time, people from his hometown came to him and said that someone lied to them and took the jade pendant away. They asked him to help get it back. That’s why this happened.” Yuling explains, but even she herself doesn’t believe her own explanation.

“From the south?” Princess Zhaoyan suddenly thinks of a mysterious tribe she has heard of before.

“This is true, My Lady. You must believe me.” Yuling says a little nervously.

Princess Zhaoyan feels helpless for a while. Suddenly she sighs and says with some unclear emotions: “Yuling, to be honest, when did I not trust you? If I really don’t trust you, why did I help you to cover it up today? In fact, it’s you who don’t trust me all the time. “

Yuling is suddenly shocked, then she thinks carefully and finds that it is really like that.

If Yuling really trusted her master, then she should take him to see Princess Zhaoyan instead of hiding him quietly when the man came to her yesterday.

Yuling even has thought about how much trouble it would bring to Princess Zhaoyan if it was exposed, but Yuling still dare not bring that man to Princess Zhaoyan.

Looking at Princess Zhaoyan again, she knows that Yuling lied in front of the Crown Prince, and she knows what Yuling is thinking about, even the hiding place of the man, but she is still considering for the sake of Yuling.

Princess Zhaoyan is just frank but not stupid. How can she not know what kind of consequences it will bring to her once it is revealed. But even so, she did it without hesitation.

Comparing Princess Zhaoyan with herself, Yuling feels ashamed.

“Take me to see him, but I want to see who on earth he is.” Princess Zhaoyan says and then stands up immediately.

Yuling doesn’t say anything more, but follows Princess Zhaoyan up and walks towards the door. However, the moment they open the door, something that they have never imagined happens.

Liang He and Yan Ling are standing face to face with them. Apparently they clearly heard what they had said. Princess Zhaoyan’s eyes immediately widen, while Yuling’s face turns pale and she almost falls to the ground.

“You… When did you come？” Princess Zhaoyan calms down and pretends to be cold.

“Not long ago.” Liang He looks at them and says scornfully.

Princess Zhaoyan and Yuling don’t know what Liang He means. How much did he hear? Or did he really just come here and heard nothing.

Just when they are worrying, Yan Ling opens her mouth with a smile: “We have just heard the whole things, and know who did it, why this happened, and where the thief hid himself.”
