He had been so sincere before and she didn't show any signs of weakness. Why was he suddenly willing to reconcile?
"But..." Su Qingyi raised her eyebrows and said, "After the reconciliation, we are friends, not husband and wife. Well, in your words... we treat each other with respect as guests! How about it?"
Dugu Chen looked at her rare smile and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Okay, I promise you."
No matter what, as long as she no longer hates him so much, he can feel at ease.
Su Qingyi flew up and patted him on the shoulder, "That's right, everyone should step back, the sea and the sky are brighter!"
Su Qingyi suddenly remembered something, got up and walked to the bed, taking out Dugu Chen's pendant from under the bed
"Well, I don't know when your pendant fell here." Su Qingyi pretended to know nothing and handed the pendant to Dugu Chen.
When Dugu Chen saw the pendant, a rare hint of panic appeared on his face. He hurriedly took the pendant, and the panic in his eyes eased a little. Fortunately, he had lost it and found it. Without the pendant, he would have nothing.
Seeing Dugu Chen's fear of the pendant, Su Qingyi became curious, "I see you wearing that pendant every day, is it important?!"
Dugu Chen didn't say anything, but carefully put the pendant into the lapel of his chest.
"Oh~~~" Su Qingyi smiled flatteringly, "A gift from my sister?"
Dugu Chen didn't look at her and shook his head, "This is what my queen mother and concubine left for me."
The mother-in-law...should be the dead mother-in-law that the housekeeper said?
But...she has to pretend not to know.
"Eh? Did Concubine Yin give it to you?" Su Qingyi looked innocent.
Dugu Chen lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, "She is my biological mother."
"Birth mother?" Su Qingyi pretended to be surprised and raised her voice.
Dugu Chen nodded, "When I was five years old, my mother-in-law passed away. She has been in the cold palace since she gave birth to this king. She has nothing but this pendant that her father gave her."
The cold palace? Su Qingyi's heart sank, how could his biological mother be in the cold palace?!
Dugu Chen took a deep breath and frowned: "It's been a long time ago. You should finish your meal quickly. I will leave after you finish."
Su Qingyi grabbed his sleeve and said, "No, if you don't tell me, I won't eat it!"
