Xiao Ruoshui went back early the next morning. Shen Yijia did not ask her what her decision was, but when she left, she seemed to have made up her mind. The outcome would be revealed soon.
As expected, she came again two days later to bid farewell.
"I'm going back to the capital." Xiao Ruoshui took out a box and opened it. Inside was a translucent jade pendant.
Afraid that Shen Yijia would not recognize it, Xiao Ruoshui raised her chin. "Don't think that it's simple. This is a piece of warm jade. On my birthday, my grandfather gave me a fist-sized piece of warm jade that he had painstakingly obtained. I got someone to make it into a jade pendant for me.
"My step-sister had been coveting it for a long time, but I haven't given it to her. Now, you lucked out."
