When Ye Jinming heard that there was something wrong with the bracelet, he slammed the table angrily and said angrily: "You are so vicious. My sister has just come back and she is thinking of poisoning her!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Chen and said, "His Royal Highness bears most of the responsibility for this matter."
Yuan Chen didn't say anything. It was not that he didn't know what the Han family was thinking, but he didn't expect that they would put their evil thoughts on Xiao Jialan.
If it weren't for Xin Ruyi, the consequences would have been disastrous. He should indeed be held responsible for this matter.
He said: "Don't alert the enemy first."
Ye Jinming said: "You'd better stay away from my sister in the future." After saying that, he glanced at Mu Rufeng and said: "And you!"
Mu Rufeng: "..."
He worked very hard to treat himself as nothing, so why was he still being targeted?
Yuan Chen stood up and said: "It's getting late, I should go back."
Ye Jinming stood up to see him off, but Yuan Chen said, "You've been busy all day, so don't see him off."
With that said, he pulled Mu Rufeng out of the study.
Walking on the road, Mu Rufeng said: "You are indeed right, Jin Ming indeed despises you."
The corners of Yuan Chen's lips twitched and he said: "Please help me send a message to Jialan, saying that I will wait for her in the garden."
Mu Rufeng was shocked and said, "Didn't Jin Ming tell you to stay away from his sister? If you still see her secretly, aren't you afraid that Jin Ming will cause trouble for you?"
Yuan Chen said: "Just don't let him know. Go quickly. It will be your benefit if the matter is settled."
Mu Rufeng's eyes turned and she responded happily: "Wait."
With that said, he headed towards the door.
After about half a cup of tea, Xiao Jialan came to the garden. Since all the guests in the house had almost left, the garden was quite clean.
Yuan Chen turned his back to her and stood in front of the camellia plant. His noble back looked particularly beautiful in the twilight.
She was dazed for a moment, and saw Yuan Chen turning to look at her, smiling at her and saying, "What are you doing standing there stupidly?"
Xiao Jialan's ears turned red, and she hurriedly walked over and curtsied: "Your Highness, are you looking for me?"
Yuan Chen frowned and said, "You and I don't have to be so polite."
Xiao Jialan said: "I am now the young lady of the Duke's mansion, so the etiquette cannot be discarded."
Yuan Chen choked, yes, this is the capital, not Yangzhou, countless pairs of eyes are watching.
He asked: "How are you doing? Does the wound still hurt?"
Xiao Jialan shook his head and said, "The pain has stopped a long time ago."
Yuan Chen took out a box from his arms, opened it and said, "I prepared a gift for you, but there were too many people at the banquet, so I didn't give it to you in person. Do you like it?"
Xiao Jialan looked at the box and saw a hairpin carved from blue jade.
This hairpin was given to her by Yuan Chen in the previous life as a token of his feelings, but she didn't expect that she would receive this hairpin so long in advance in this life.
Could it be...
Xiao Jialan's mood was a little complicated for a moment. She said: "Your Highness, this gift is too valuable. I...I can't accept it."
Yuan Chen said: "How do you know it's valuable without even looking at it? Or do you mean you don't want it at all?"
Xiao Jialan hurriedly said: "No."
She just didn't know whether she should accept it or not. She wanted to keep a distance from Yuan Chen so as not to hurt him, but she felt deeply reluctant to let go.
Yuan Chen didn't listen to her explanation. He took out the hairpin and inserted it directly into her bun and said, "It's yours if you don't like it. If you don't like it, just throw it away."
Xiao Jialan knew that he was angry, so she bit her lip and said, "I don't like it, it's just that... you know my identity, and I'm afraid that it will implicate you."
