Chapter C37 – The Origin of Jade Pendant

Proofread by Nie Qiao

“Miss Ling, although we are friends, you need to know there are laws and rules in a country. Any criminal will be punished.” It seems that Liang He doesn’t care Yan Ling’s plea, and he doesn’t even look at her.

Yan Ling seems to be in a bit of a hurry, “My sister, she already knows that she is wrong, Your Royal Highness. She is still young…”

It’s a universal reason for being “young”. But at this time, it’s ironical when Yan Ling says this because everyone knows that Yan Ling and Yan Shuang are twin sisters.

Yan Shuang seems to feel embarrassed, but she goes on, following Yan Ling’s words: “it’s all my fault. I beg you, Your Highness. Please let me go this time, considering my sister’s plea.”

Liang He sneers in his heart. He knows clearly how Yan Shuang framed Yan Ling. He cannot let Yan Shuang go because of this single reason. He didn’t expect that Yan Shuang could be so shameless.

“Eh…” Liang He wants to say something, but suddenly there is a commotion outside.

Liang He immediately stands up. He has a bad feeling subconsciously and runs out. Seeing Liang He’s action, other people follow behind him immediately.

When Liang He arrives there, he only finds that the guards were knocked out.

“What’s the matter? What about the jade pendant?” Asks Liang He angrily.

“Your, Your Highness, just now a man appeared suddenly, hurt us and robbed the jade pendant.” The guard also feels a little ashamed, stuttering to report.

Liang He didn’t expect that the jade pendant was robbed from him. He has so many guards, and now they are all rubbish.

“Rubbish! So many people can’t even guard a jade pendant. What’s the use of you?” Liang He is furious.

Seen from the distance, he still looks elegant and polite as usual. But people familiar with him can see that, this time, the Crown Prince is really, really angry.

The guards kneeling on the ground are all a little uneasy, but there is nothing to complain about. It was a sudden incident, and the man had excellent martial arts, but they have so many people and they actually let him take away the jade.

Even if the Crown Prince doesn’t blame them, they will feel guilty and embarrassed. It’s better to get a bad scolding.

“It’s all our fault. Please give us a chance to make amends, Your Highness.” The guard who just kept the brocade box lowers his head and says.

Liang He snorts coldly, “now that people ran away, and the jade pendant was lost. You tell me, how will you make amends?”

“Your Highness, although that person escaped, he has been stabbed by me. Someone is going after him. I believe he can reach him.” The guard’s face is red, and he is also angry with the man who robbed the jade pendant.

Hearing this, Liang He feels a little relieved. The jade pendant is not only related to him, but also related to Yan Ling. In any case, it should not be lost. After all, this time Liang He was careless. If he took the jade pendant with him, this would not happen.

“Go after him immediately. Anyway, you must find the man and take back the jade pendant.” Liang He knows that his subordinates are not incompetent, and he should not scold them too much.

“Your Highness, I can also send someone to look for it together as long as you forget today’s affairs and pretend that you have never seen Shuang’er.” Prime Minister Yan suddenly cuts in.

Liang He cannot help gnashing his teeth after hearing this and he is very dissatisfied. However, the jade pendant is lost now. If he wastes more time with Prime Minister Yan on this matter, there will be more troubles.

Prime Minister Yan can’t do anything to protect his daughter openly. Ling He understands this. If he is really pissed, maybe he will make troubles in secret. Then things will not be easy to deal with.

What’s more, if he really wants to give Yan Shuang a lesson, there will be a lot of chances in the future. However, the Emperor gave them a month to find the jade pendant. It is imperative to find the robber.

After weighing and considering his requirement, Liang He makes a decision. Although he still feels a little reluctant, he can’t do two things well at the same time.

In addition, the prime minister is more powerful than he behaves. If he can get his help, then things will go more smoothly.

“Lord Yan, it’s a great thing that Miss Shuang knows her mistakes and wants to correct them. Now that the jade pendant has been robbed, the most important thing for us is to get it back. How could I be hard on Miss Shuang at this moment?” Liang He says with a smile.

Yan Shuang’s heart was raised to her throat and became more scared when she heard that the jade pendant had been robbed. She didn’t expect that it was a blessing in disguise and she was released by the Crown Prince as well.

Suddenly, Yan Shuang is so grateful to the person who stole the jade pendant, and rejoices for herself.

“But…” Liang He suddenly changes his face.

Seeing that other people are looking at him, Liang He continues: “His Majesty gave me only one month. If the thief and the jade pendant can’t be found, you have to consider it, Lord Yan.”

When all the people leave, Liang He suddenly becomes serious. He thinks it is not as simple as it seems to be. Why did someone steal the jade pendant?

“You noticed that, right? There seems to be something strange about this evening.” Yan Ling asks with a frown.

“Indeed. Even if it’s given by the Emperor, it’s just a jade pendant instead of a Royal Pardon. How can it be so attractive?” Liang He tells her his ideas.

“Yes, that’s right. It’s understandable that Yan Shuang stole the jade pendant because she was jealous of me. But why did this man run such a big risk to rob the jade pendant from us?” Yan Ling seems puzzled.

“Do you know the origin of this jade pendant? I don’t think it’s that ordinary.” Liang He suddenly thinks of something and immediately asks Yan Ling.

Yan Ling shakes her head helplessly. Yan Ling keeps this jade pendant for only one day and doesn’t check it carefully. How could Yan Ling know the origin of this imperial gift?

“His Majesty said that the Third Prince had found this jade and given to him in the Hall. If we want to know the origin, do we have to ask him?” Yan Ling suggests.

“Liang Yi……” Liang He says in a low voice. Somehow, he suddenly remembers the Lotus Lantern Festival that day.
