Su Jin didn't know how to respond to Lady Chi.
Xingxing stared at her with wide eyes.
See?
Indeed, people shouldn't lie.
How embarrassing it is when someone exposes your lie.
But Su Jin was only embarrassed for a moment before she sold out the Prince.
"That jade pendant belongs to Young Master Zhao from Nanliang, the son of Prime Minister Zhao," Su Jin replied.
"I originally planned to return it to him, but who knew that after Prime Minister Zhao got into trouble, Young Master Zhao hurriedly returned to Nanliang."
"Then... the Prince took the jade pendant away."
Lady Chi felt a storm of emotions surge within her.
The jade pendant belongs to the son of Prime Minister Zhao?!
Su Jin was unaware that Lady Chi's shock was due to Zhao Xu.
She assumed it was because of the Prince.
Though surprised, Lady Chi refrained from saying more, so Su Jin didn't explain in detail.
Moreover, the hour was late, so Su Jin took her leave.
