The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 390: The Jade Ring with a Crack
The steward was extremely vigilant, always connecting any hint of something amiss to the intrusion into the Prince Mansion.
However, the Crown Prince was no easy adversary.
With a smile, he removed the Jade Ring from his hand and said, "Is this what the steward was referring to? It’s a fake, a counterfeit. As you know, when people go out to do business, they tend to judge others based on their appearance..."
"Before, to put on a show, I bought a counterfeit that resembled the official Jade Ring, and I’ve been wearing it without taking it off."
"If working as a gardener here means I can’t wear a Jade Ring, then I won’t wear it and will put it away. Well, it’s just a fake, it’s not worth much, might as well throw it away!"
"To avoid causing me trouble..."
As the Crown Prince spoke, he removed the Jade Ring from his hand and tossed it decisively into a pile of trash in the corner of the flower pot, without a moment’s hesitation.
Had the Crown Prince not thrown away the Jade Ring, the steward might have continued to suspect him, but seeing him discard it so cleanly and efficiently, without any lingering doubt...
He also believed it was worthless, just a counterfeit.
Thrown away, it’s thrown away; he certainly stopped suspecting.
He turned around and left. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Once his figure had completely disappeared from the sight of the Crown Prince and Jun Ning, Jun Ning hurriedly rushed to the trash pile to find the Jade Ring that the Crown Prince had just discarded.
The steward couldn’t tell the difference, unable to distinguish between real and fake, but she could.
Her Crown Prince brother’s Jade Ring was carved from highly valuable emerald jade material, priceless, and he had worn it for many years, never taking it off; now it couldn’t be casually discarded.
She rummaged through the trash for a long time before finally finding the Jade Ring; however, due to being thrown, there was a slight crack, no longer perfect and flawless as before.
Jun Ning held the Jade Ring with a look of regret, "Crown Prince brother, your Jade Ring has developed cracks?"
The Crown Prince looked at the now damaged Jade Ring in Jun Ning’s hand with unease, mirroring the worry he felt when he was in Sai Lucheng, as the city infiltrated by many strong men from external tribes, trying to massacre the citizens of Sai Lucheng.
Very ominous.
Feeling as though some bloody disaster was approaching him.
But he feared speaking it out loud would frighten Jun Ning.
He feigned a relaxed smile and took the Jade Ring from Jun Ning’s hand, saying, "Everything has cracks; that’s where the light comes in. So, even if the Jade Ring is damaged, it doesn’t matter; besides, it can still be worn, can’t it?"
The Crown Prince wore the Jade Ring on his hand and showed Jun Ning, "Ah Ning, look, if you wear the cracked side down, no one will know the Jade Ring has cracks."
"Crown Prince brother..." Jun Ning looked at the Crown Prince in discomfort, "Saying it like that makes me unsure of what to say."
"If you don’t know what to say, just focus on doing your work properly. We need to quickly obtain the evidence of secrets from the Eldest Prince..."
