Chapter 465: He Never Betrayed You

Xiaoxiao’s tone was innocent. “That piece of jade is very beautiful. It was given

to me by the Third Prince.”

She deliberately stopped and did not say anything else.

Noble Consort Ji coughed lightly, and the nanny beside her hurriedly went forward to massage her back. Xiaoxiao looked like she was playing with the baby, but she kept paying attention from the corner of her eye. Hence, she didn’t miss what Noble Consort Ji and the nanny said softly before the nanny left.

Not long after, the person who went to get the jade returned. “Princess, please take a look.”

Xiaoxiao opened the box and her gaze stopped at the upper left corner of the jade pendant. She had made a mark on the jade pendant Rong Yan had given her, but this piece was bright and flawless. She nodded. “Yes, this is it.”

Xiaoxiao only stayed for a short while. Seeing that she had no other purpose, the Empress and Crown Princess Consort continued to put their energy into showing off the eldest grandson.

They didn’t know that Noble Consort Ji, who said that she was tired and wanted to rest for a while, met Xiaoxiao, who claimed that she didn’t sleep well. The latter even followed Noble Consort Ji to the same guest room as if they were very familiar with each other.

Noble Consort Ji didn’t bat an eyelid. With a cold expression, she got someone to get a few plates of snacks, with an expression that said, “Eat your food and don’t bother me.”

However, Xiaoxiao realized that the snacks that the nanny brought over happened to be her favorites.

She was even more confident in her guess.

The two of them probably didn’t communicate. Noble Consort Ji was reading a book while Xiaoxiao was eating snacks. However, Noble Consort Ji suddenly felt a tremor in her arms. The jade pendant that was originally placed properly rolled down and stopped at Xiaoxiao’s feet.

Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Eh? Isn’t this the jade I just gave to the eldest grandson?” Noble Consort Ji’s hands were already clenched tightly in her sleeves, but her expression was still calm. ”They’re just random things bought in the market.

There’s a lot of similar-looking things. If you like them, I’ll give them to you.”

Oh my, she was anxious.

She was in a hurry to send the jade pendant back to Rong Yan.

However, Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “A gentleman doesn’t snatch what others love. I don’t want it.”

Then, she threw the things back to Noble Consort Ji.

The Noble Consort frowned and heard Xiaoxiao say.

“Anyway, I’ve already obtained what’s hidden in this jade.

Noble Consort Ji finally spilled the tea in her hand. “What did you say?” Xiaoxiao had long wanted to try acting like a bad person. At this moment, her fighting spirit was high. She imitated the villains she saw in television dramas and leaned against the bookshelf with her arms crossed. “Two days ago, a guard caught a spy.”

-Coincidentally, it’s the traitor Yun Yi that Little Big Brother Ah Yan can’t find.” Noble Consort Ji’s expression gradually turned cold, and Xiaoxiao pretended not to see it. “I originally wanted to hand him over to Little Big Brother, but he said that he could tell me a secret in exchange for his life.”

In order to increase her credibility, Xiaoxiao specially pinched the jade pendant, found the protruding part of the mechanism, and pressed it gently. The jade pendant was divided into two pieces, and the middle was indeed empty.

“Does Your Highness know this secret too?”

Deep down, Noble Consort Ji was unwilling to believe that Yun Yi would betray his mistress for glory. However, Xiaoxiao said, “Aiya, I heard that this is a treasure map. If I give this to the Crown Prince…

Noble Consort Ji’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “That belongs to Yan’er! No one is allowed to touch it!”

“Yan’er.” Rong Yan had been looking forward to this form of address since he was young, and he had also been disappointed since he was young. He never expected to hear it from Noble Consort Ji at this moment.

Even though his heart was surging, Rong Yan still saw Noble Consort Ji instruct the servants to block the door immediately.

If he continued hiding, something would really happen. According to what he and Xiaoxiao had discussed beforehand, Rong Yan walked out from behind the bookshelf.

“Stop.”

He spoke unaccustomedly.

“Mother.”

Noble Consort Ji suddenly seemed to be unable to see or hear anything else. Her brain, which was full of thoughts every day, seemed to be at a loss.

Rong Yan sighed. “You’ve been hiding it from me.”

Noble Consort Ji still wanted to hide it, but Xiaoxiao told her directly, “We’ve already been to the place marked on the map.”

“There’s only a pile of moldy food and rusty weapons, as well as a memorial

tablet without words.”

Noble Consort Ji felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She wanted to tell herself that they were lying to her, but they even knew about the memorial tablet.

Her legs went soft, and Noble Consort Ji’s nerves, which had been broken for more than ten years, seemed to snap. Tears flowed out like a floodgate. “How could this be…”

Then why had she worked so hard and endured for so many years? Although the room was clearly filled with Noble Consort Ji’s trusted aides, Xiaoxiao still requested them to give the mother and son some alone time.

Since she had already been honest, the nanny made the decision to agree to

this request.

The others stood guard outside the door, and the nanny brought Xiaoxiao to the kitchen to make some food for Noble Consort Ji.

When the servants of the Crown Prince’s Residence heard this, they at most thought that Xiaoxiao was trying to please her future mother-in-law. They did not have any other doubts.

She made a simple bowl of noodles here. On the other end, Rong Yan brought Noble Consort Ji to the multiplier area left behind by Xiaoxiao and let her have a good sleep.

When she woke up, Noble Consort Ji felt as if a long time had passed. Rong Yan helped her up skillfully and listened to her.

“You guys were lying to me when you said that Yun Yi confessed, right?”

Rong Yan nodded. “It’s true that we caught him, but he hasn’t said a word until

now.”

Noble Consort Ji sighed. “Don’t hurt him. He’s never betrayed you.”

The mother and son did not know what to say. It was as if they had been pardoned when Xiaoxiao knocked on the door. Xiaoxiao looked at this and that and handed the chicken soup noodles to Rong Yan helplessly.

The latter was stunned for a moment before quickly placing the noodles in front of Noble Consort Ji and putting down the bowls and chopsticks for her. “Xiaoxiao’s culinary skills are very good. Mother, eat some first.” The nanny said that Noble Consort Ji had not eaten a single grain of rice since last night. Rong Yan was puzzled. Seeing their awkward expressions, Xiaoxiao could only appear herself. “Is it because the chef’s food doesn’t suit your taste? Why don’t you tell me what you like to eat? I’ll make a recipe for you and get the kitchen to cook accordingly.”

Noble Consort Ji reflexively wanted to say no, but Xiaoxiao said, “You don’t have to be polite to me. You’ve only met me a few times. Didn’t you also remember my preferences?”

Noble Consort Ji looked up at her—she found out?

Xiaoxiao felt that Little Big Brother’s mother’s eyes were really beautiful, like a black onyx. Her eyelashes were also long, and there was a red mark at the corner of her eye. Her slightly furrowed brows made people pity her.

No wonder Little Big Brother was so good-looking. So he took after Noble Consort Ji.

Xiaoxiao had the least resistance to beauties. She raised her hand and took out a small jar from her sleeve.

“Little Big Brother said that you like spicy food. Do you want some chili sauce?” Rong Yan couldn’t stand the taste, so his tolerance for spicy and sour tastes was relatively weak. It wasn’t that he hated it. For example, Xiaoxiao felt that the mild chili powder could make Rong Yan look for water with a spoonful of it in the entire bowl of broth.

He had once mentioned that he was the complete opposite of his mother. His mother was from the Shu Lands and loved spicy food.

The nanny was shocked. “Princess, do you even carry this with you?” Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said, “Oh, Little Big Brother asked me to bring it along. He said that Mother actually isn’t used to eating the things in the palace. What if it’s useful?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Noble Consort Ji stopped crying.

“I-I’m sorry..”
