Chu Wenjing and everyone else in the pavilion were startled.
Qiao Yin was serious. She actually reported to the officials and led the government officials to arrest Lu Jinzhi!
The dignified prince of the Duke's palace steals during the day, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Isn't this trying to embarrass Lu Jinzhi in public?
Chu Wenjing looked at Lu Jinzhi in a panic. Lu Jinzhi's handsome face seemed to have been knocked over on a palette. The colors were red and green for a while, which was wonderful.
Seeing that the matter was about to get serious, Chu Wenjing stepped forward and said, "Qiao Yin, this jade pendant was originally going to be given to Jin Zhi. He took it in advance because he wanted you to save yourself a trip. How could you 'steal' it?" Are they related?"
"Who said I was going to send him away?"
Qiao Yin turned to look at Lu Jinzhi and asked word for word: "Did I say I wanted to send you off?"
Chu Wenjing looked at Lu Jinzhi in shock, wasn't it? Isn't this thing meant to be given to Lu Jinzhi?
But Lu Jinzhi kept showing off when he came today, saying that it was Qiao Yin who gave it to him.
Could it be that Lu Jinzhi really stole this from Yueji Pavilion?
Lu Jinzhi raised his head to meet Qiao Yin's gaze. Qiao Yin's eyes were full of alienation and impatience.
Lu Jinzhi's heart seemed to be stabbed hard by something.
He pretended to be relaxed and smiled, jokingly saying: "Not for me? Then who are you going to give it to? Could it be Xie Yu'an?"
"Yes."
Lu Jinzhi's smile froze on his face, and he looked steadily at Qiao Yin.
"This is the surprise I prepared for Xie Yu'an. If you give it back to me now, I can immediately withdraw the case as if nothing happened."
Qiao Yin's face was calm and she extended her hand to Lu Jinzhi again.
Now that it's come to this, she thinks she has made it very clear.
Lu Jinzhi was stunned, as if he didn't believe what Qiao Yin said. He looked at her several times. When she changed her mind, he saw that Qiao Yin's face was as cold as ice, which was completely different from the Qiao Yin in his impression.
Lu Jinzhi became angry and said viciously: "It's mine if it comes to me! I won't give it to you!"
Lu Jinzhi waved his hand, and the jade pendant drew an arc in the air, and then fell into the center of the lake, causing a little splash and ripples.
thump--
Almost at the same moment, Qiao Yin jumped out of the pavilion, plunged into the water, and swam towards the center of the lake.
Everyone was frightened by the scene in front of them. The water was so cold and they were wearing such thick clothes. Even if they were able to swim like this, something would happen, not to mention...
"Miss! Come here, help people, my lady doesn't know how to swim."
"thump--"
Qiao Yin doesn't know how to swim at all.
There was another burst of water splash, and Lu Jinzhi ripped off his heavy coat, jumped into the lake, swam towards Qiao Yin, and pulled him up from the bottom of the water.
"Qiao Yin, are you crazy?"
Snapped--
With a crisp sound, Qiao Yin turned around and slapped Lu Jinzhi hard on the face with red eyes.
"leave me alone!"
Qiao Yin pushed Lu Jinzhi away, turned around and plunged into the water again. She didn't know how to swim and searched in the water with all her will.
Lu Jinzhi didn't know how important the jade pendant was. It was Xie Yuan's personal belongings and his amulet.
Xie Ren said that if a jade exists, it will destroy people, so when he accidentally knocked it, it would cause the Xie family's grandfather to be furious.
The jade cicada, who ate the breeze and drank the morning dew, fell into the mud because of her. Qiao Yin felt guilty and had only one thought in her mind - even if she died here, she must find it back. Come.
But the lake is full of mud. Finding a small jade pendant is like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Miss, stop looking for it and come up quickly. The water is too cold and you will get sick."
Bizhu found a woman who knew how to swim and fished Qiao Yin out of the lake.
"Quickly, send me to the wing to change clothes."
Qiao Yin shivered and turned around to glance at the lake reluctantly. Unfortunately, her body was already frozen, so she could only let her mother-in-law carry her to the side room.
"Jinzhi, come up quickly."
Chu Wenjing hugged Lu Jinzhi's clothes and greeted the stunned man in the water.
Lu Jinzhi walked out of the water without saying a word, with a clear five-finger mark on his face.
Chu Wenjing didn't dare to look at his face and put some clothes on him, "Let's go change clothes first."
The two of them also came to a side room. Lu Jinzhi put on clean clothes, but his hair was still dripping.
"What does Qiao Yin mean?" Lu Jinzhi suddenly asked.
This was the first thing he said when he came out of the water.
"She seems very angry, more angry than ever before." Lu Jinzhi said again.
Needless to say? I slapped you on the face, what else is it if you're not angry? Chu Wenjing cursed.
But this time, Chu Wenjing also felt that Lu Jinzhi went too far. He stole other people's things and it was unreasonable. Now he maliciously threw them into the water. If Qiao Yin really pursued it, Lu Jinzhi would really drink it.
"Why is she so angry? She has been angry with me since the day of my birthday. What is the reason?"
Lu Jinzhi twisted his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
Chu Wenjing saw that he was thinking so seriously and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you think it is?"
Lu Jinzhi carefully recalled what happened during that time. Everything was normal during that time. If there was anything special, it would be...
"Is it because I want to marry Yan Ruyu?"
As soon as the words came out, Lu Jinzhi was convinced, "It must be because of this."
Chu Wenjing thought it made sense, but felt that it was not that simple. He asked tentatively: "Isn't it because of Xie Yu'an?"
Lu Jinzhi's face suddenly turned cold, "It's impossible for Xie Yu'an to be with her. Xie Yu'an can't even look down on the princess, so why would he fall in love with Qiao Yin?"
This is true. The Xie family's family status is higher than that of the Duke's family. It would be more difficult for Qiao Yin to marry into the Xie family than to reach heaven.
Chu Wenjing was convinced, but he was a little confused: "Then why is Xie Yu'an so nice to Qiao Yin? He made Qiao Yin happy last time at the racecourse."
Lu Jinzhi snorted coldly, "I guess Qiao Yin's father probably won the war in the southern border. The prince wanted to win over the Qiao family, so he took action on Qiao Yin. It's a pity that Qiao Yin was taken advantage of, and he gave him a stupid Prepare gifts to please him! Humph!”
"Haqiu——"
Before Lu Jinzhi could finish his words, he sneezed first and his body shivered.
"Go back quickly and drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold."
Chu Wenjing put Lu Jinzhi on the carriage, and Lu Jinzhi returned to the Duke's Mansion. He cooked a bowl of thick ginger soup in the kitchen and brought over a pill to prevent wind and cold.
It was a tribute given by Concubine Lu, and the materials used were precious and rare.
For some reason, Lu Jinzhi suddenly remembered the trembling Qiao Yin, and told Zhuye, "Send a copy of these pills to the Marquis Jing'an Mansion."
Zhuye was stunned. This was the first time that he had sent something to Qiao Yin from the Duke's Mansion.
"Why are you still standing there? Go quickly." Lu Jinzhi urged.
"Yes, little one, go right here."
Zhuye was holding the medicine bottle and was about to go out when he was stopped by the man coming in.
"Don't go and embarrass yourself. Even if you give me gold and silver, they won't accept it."
