The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Before Song Xiwan could react, she felt a gust of cold wind in her face.

"bump--"

Jiang Yao was thrown out easily and hit the bookshelf behind him. Many books fell on him.

Jiang Yao even spat out a mouthful of blood.

Song Xiwan didn't react for a moment. When he saw Xie Chengqian suddenly appear in front of him, his face turned dark and ashen.

Jiang Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked angrily, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"you wanna die?"

Xie Chengqian exuded a sinister aura, crushing Jiang Yao with all his might, leaving no doubt as to whether he would kill Jiang Yao next.

Jiang Yao stood up with a cold smile and said playfully, "Today I realized that Your Highness is such a nosy person. However, my relationship with Xi Wan is not as superficial as Your Highness thinks. Please don't interfere."

Song Xiwan frowned, not understanding Jiang Yao's behavior.

Xie Chengqian sneered and clenched his fists even tighter.

"Xiwan, let's go."

Jiang Yao seemed unaware of any danger and tried to grab Song Xiwan's hand and leave.

Song Xiwan originally wanted to hide, but she didn't expect that her other hand would be held by Xie Chengqian first. She could clearly feel how strong his fingertips were, which made her brows frown.

"Your Majesty, please let go."

Jiang Yao continued to provoke.

Song Xiwan's face darkened, realizing that Jiang Yao was deliberately trying to provoke Xie Chengqian and was not afraid at all that Xie Chengqian would beat him half to death.

Perhaps, this is what Jiang Yao wants.

Song Xiwan must stop it!

Xie Chengqian has always been a thorn in the emperor's side. If he were to be charged with bullying, I wonder how many people would step on him.

"You are quite brave."

Xie Chengqian looked at Jiang Yao coldly, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He actually noticed that Jiang Yao was acting strangely.

"Your Majesty, let go."

Song Xiwan struggled for a moment and looked at him with cold eyes.

Xie Chengqian's eyes darkened even more, and his fingertips loosened a little, but still did not let go. He just asked: "Xi Wan, is what he said true?"

Song Xiwan: “?”

Why ask this at this time?

Jiang Yao waited for Xiwan's answer complacently, as if he was sure of victory. Song Xiwan was speechless. Why didn't she think Jiang Yao was so annoying before?

"If you two have so much free time, you might as well read a few more books by sages."

Whether she admitted it or denied it, there would definitely be a stir in the academy, so it would be better to skip the topic directly.

Moreover, Jiang Yao was really strange, as if he was deliberately trying to provoke Xie Chengqian.

What on earth is he planning?

In front of Xie Chengqian, Song Xiwan was too embarrassed to ask and simply turned and left.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengqian followed her all the time, like a moving ice sculpture.

"Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"

Song Xiwan stopped in annoyance and turned to look at him.

Xie Chengqian originally wanted to come over and take her to the villa for dinner. She had been so busy recently that she had lost a lot of weight. Who would have thought that Jiang Yao would dare to get close to her?

And Song Xiwan didn't struggle, and he felt a dull pain in his heart.

"Jiang Yao is not a good person."

After a while, Xie Chengqian managed to utter these words.

Song Xiwan couldn't help showing a hint of surprise and asked, "What evidence did you find?"

Now she has not talked openly with Xie Chengqian about her past life. Once she mentions it, she will have to ask him why he wanted to kill her. Song Xiwan feels that she cannot bear it.

So I want to understand some things from another perspective.

Xie Chengqian's information network is better than hers, so he can find out what Jiang Yao is planning. Why does saving the Jiang family require him to get involved in this mess in Shangjing City?

Xie Chengqian thought that Song Xiwan asked this because she didn't believe him, and his heart sank.

"No."

Song Xiwan was even more surprised. "Then why are you saying that so confidently?"

Xie Chengqian refuted with reason, "If he really respected you, he would naturally understand the principle of keeping a distance between men and women."

Jiang Yao did it anyway even though he knew that this would ruin Song Xiwan's reputation.

Song Xiwan looked at him silently.

That look made her meaning clear: Your Majesty, how dare you say that?

Both of them recalled the scene in the study in the palace that day, and an unnatural look flashed across their faces.

Song Xiwan coughed lightly and said, "I will take care of this matter. Your Highness does not need to interfere. Besides, Your Highness is advised to keep a distance from me in the academy."

Otherwise it would be difficult to have peace in the academy, and she didn't want to waste time dealing with these things.

Xie Chengqian's face darkened, "What do you mean?"

She actually let Jiang Yao get close to her, but he couldn't?

"literal meaning."

Song Xiwan didn't want to waste any more words, so he left quickly after saying this.

But when I just walked back to the residence, I unexpectedly saw several people standing together, looking extremely embarrassed and anxious, and many of them were familiar faces.

"What should I do? That's the jade pendant my mother gave me. I absolutely can't throw it away."

It's Shen Qiongyi again.

The people surrounding her were the young ladies from aristocratic families, and they all tried to comfort her when they heard what she said.

"Don't worry, we will definitely find it back. There are only so many of us here."

"It was either stolen or left somewhere. If you look for it carefully, you will definitely find it."

"It seems like Song Xiwan is the only one here during the day. Why don't we ask her?"

"..."

Song Xiwan stood still.

I didn't expect that such a thing would happen to me. Did I lose something?

This method is really despicable.

And he disappeared just when she was there. It was obviously directed at her. Song Xiwan raised a faint smile and walked towards them.

“What’s missing?

Hearing her voice, Shen Qiongyi and the others looked over at the same time, with different expressions.

One of them stepped forward and said, "Shen Qiongyi lost a jade pendant chain. Did you see it?"

The tone was very arrogant.

Song Xiwan always felt that this was not an interrogation, but rather an act of forcing a confession.

Shen Qiongyi's eyes welled up with tears as she pleaded, "Xiwan, if you see this, you must tell me. This is what my mother left for me."

Everyone looked at Song Xiwan with even more contempt.

I knew long ago that this silly young lady had just returned from the countryside, so how come her hands and feet were still so dirty!

Song Xiwan smiled faintly and asked, "Oh, is it a blue-green jade pendant chain?"

Shen Qiongyi was stunned. She had thought Song Xiwan would deny it outright, but why did he go into details?

She had a bad feeling in her heart, but nodded anyway.

"Yes, it is."

Song Xiwan said, "I did see it. You sneakily put it under your pillow during the day. I thought you were going to do something. Did you forget or did you steal it?"

These words made Shen Qiongyi's face suddenly turn pale.

Song Xiwan actually saw her hiding the jade pendant!

Others were even more shocked. What did this mean?

"If you have nothing to do, get out of the way. You're blocking my way."

Song Xiwan shook his head in disgust.
