Jing Yu smiled and waved his hand, "What you just said was not rough. There's nothing wrong with it, as long as no one listens to it, it doesn't matter."

Since the Fourth Prince's poisoning incident, he has indeed been gradually seen by everyone in the imperial capital, and he is getting back what he deserves step by step.

Qian Xue breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but have a faint blush on her cheeks. She made a joke today and was told by the young master himself, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Stop standing there. There is a box in the second compartment on the third row of my bookcase. Bring it to me."

Qianxue hurriedly responded, blushing and running to find something.

When she saw the box, she couldn't help but become much gentler when picking up things.

The box is small and exquisite, made of rosewood, with silver edges inlaid around it, and a bamboo forest engraved on it, which is lifelike.

Even this box is so exquisite, and the things inside must be quite valuable. Qianxue is afraid that if she is not careful, she will have to work in the house for the rest of her life.

When the box was placed firmly in front of Jing Yu, Qian Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jing Yu glanced at Qian Xue who was panting slightly with a smile, and opened the box in front of her.

A jade pendant with exquisite carvings and excellent water quality appeared in front of Qian Xue.

Qianxue couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Fortunately, she had been careful just now. If it broke, she would probably have to work in the house for three lifetimes, and she might not be able to afford compensation.

Jing Yu found Qian Xue staring at the jade pendant carefully and asked with a smile, "Do you like it?"

Qianxue quickly denied it, "I don't dare. I'm just afraid that I accidentally hurt such a good jade pendant."

Is this something she can just like... With this money, wouldn't it be good for her to start a small business or buy a piece of land after she leaves the house...

Jing Yu pushed the box in front of her, "I'll give it to you if you like it."

Qianxue was stunned by these words. How could a servant like her deserve to own such a precious thing.

She stood there stupidly, forgetting to even say no.

Jing Yu picked up another piece and pinned it to his waist, then asked, "What? You don't like this jade?"

"This slave just thinks this jade is too precious and I don't dare to accept it."

Qianxue lowered her eyes and couldn't help but trembling in her retort voice.

"Since I gave this thing away, there is no reason to take it back. If you like it, just keep it."

Jing Yu took out the jade pendant from the box and put it in Qian Xue's hand with a smile.

It was warm and delicate, with a pair of mandarin ducks leaning on each other's neck, lingering and affectionate. Qian Xue's hands were shaking a little, but she still touched the jade pendant carefully.

Is this...a gift specially given to me by the eldest young master...

The emotions that should have been annihilated day and night began to quietly take root again.

Even though she repeatedly warned herself not to have delusional thoughts, when she looked at the pair of mandarin duck jade pendants, fresh new shoots grew in her heart.

"This slave thanked the young master."

She thanked her, wrapped the jade pendant in a handkerchief, carefully put it into her arms, and stroked it a few more times uncontrollably.

Jing Yu looked at her precious look, his eyes filled with tenderness that he didn't even know existed.

It's just a jade pendant. He can give her more and better things later.

Qianxue put away her things and recovered from her joy. She couldn't help but have a slight blush on her cheeks.

She picked up the ink stick again and asked softly: "Master, what else do you want to write? I will help you polish it."

Jing Yu smiled and flicked her forehead, "No need, today's official documents have been approved. I'll read a book by myself for a while, and you can go back and rest."

Qianxue whispered "yes" and then retreated. But on the way back, every time she came across the place where the jade pendant was placed, she couldn't help but smile.

After arriving in her room, she began to rummage through the cabinets to find boxes, finding them all of various materials and sizes and placing them in a row.

Then she gestured one by one, and finally chose a pear wood box. She wiped the inside of the box first, then put several handkerchiefs on it, and then put the jade pendant in, for fear of getting even a little bit damaged.

After closing the lid, she wiped the outside of the box again before hiding it in the deepest part of her cabinet.

Her heartbeat gradually returned to calmness, but she still sat on the edge of the bed with a smile on her lips, swaying her feet, silently thinking about Jing Yu's kindness in her heart.

Until she lay on the bed to rest tonight, her dreams became especially sweet.

The next day, she woke up very early and went to Jing Yu's room to help him wash and change clothes as usual.

She was now able to comb men's hair very well. Jing Yu lowered his head slightly to let her put on his official hat, and then caught a glimpse of her empty waist.

"Why don't you wear the jade pendant with you?"

Qianxue helped Jing Yu tidy up his clothes, "That jade pendant is too precious, and I'm afraid that I might accidentally bump it while carrying it."

Jing Yu smoothly hugged her around the waist, then raised his hand to clasp her chin.

"Just wear it with confidence. A jade pendant is nothing more than an object, and it is not as valuable as someone else."

Qian Xue couldn't help but dodge her eyes, but Jing Yu lowered his head and kissed her long eyelashes.

"Be obedient." Jing Yu's warm breath hit his eyelids, and Qian Xue's heartstrings twitched along with it.

"You go pack up later and wear thicker clothes. I will take you fishing after I go to court."

Jing Yu couldn't help but purr the top of Qian Xue's hair a few more times, and then he let go until her hair was messy.

Qian Xue stared blankly at Jing Yu's leaving figure, and couldn't help but think, fishing? However, she has never even been to the river and doesn't know how to fish.

However, she was more happy that the young master was willing to take her out.

She hurried back to her room to look for clothes and put on a few more layers to avoid getting sick from the cold again. The young master was afraid that she would dislike her for being weak.

The fishing place was very private. It was a place Qian Xue had never heard of. It seemed to be the private property of some noble family, so it seemed particularly quiet.

Qian Xue looked at the completely different scenery around her and couldn't help but get closer to Jing Yu.

Jing Yu turned his head and saw her rabbit-like appearance that could be frightened at any time, so he held her hand in a funny way.

"It's not your first time out of the house, why are you still so scared?"

"With the young master here, I won't be afraid." She raised her eyes to look at Jing Yu, then quickly lowered her head, "I'm just... a little nervous."

Jing Yu patted her hand reassuringly, "It's okay."

Qian Xue nodded imperceptibly and let Jing Yu lead her forward.

The two of them walked forward until they had walked through the entire corridor, and then they saw two people standing not far ahead.

"But Miss Qi Liu?"

Jing Yu stood still and asked in a clear voice.

The girl wearing a curtain hat raised her hand to lift up one side of the gauze and turned her head to look at Jing Yu.

The corners of Qi Lingying's lips raised slightly. When she saw that the person coming was Jing Yu, she slowly lowered her curtain hat and stood there, saluting Jing Yu from a distance.

"Good morning, Mr. Jing."

Jing Yu chuckled and then pulled Qian Xue towards Qi Lingying.
