Chapter 58 Jade Pendant
Wang Momo was still a little worried, and said: "Xin'er has been executed by the Queen's order."

She nodded.

"The master just sent someone to invite the young lady to come over. The servant thinks that the young lady is still resting and procrastinating. The young lady can go after dinner."

"No need." Su Ruiran put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said to Nanny Wang, "Let's go there now." She knew that her father must know that it was unfair to treat her like this, and her father must have something to say to herself.

After Wang Momo arranged the sedan chair, it was carried by two porters. Su Ruiran sat in the sedan chair, and she followed along, heading towards Su Chao's residence.

Originally, Su Ruiran thought that there was no need to be so troublesome, and that she could just walk over there. Originally, her father's yurt was not far from where she lived.But Wang Momo insisted not to let her walk because she was still ill and weak.

Su Ruiran couldn't hold her back, so she could only obey the arrangement.

It was almost dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the clouds, which was quite beautiful.

But Su Ruiran was sitting in the sedan chair, looking at the mottled tree shadows through the curtain, very upset.

Soon, the group arrived outside Su Chao's yurt.

Su Ruiran got out of the sedan chair, and was going to take Wang Momo in together, but who knew that as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the servants at the door, who looked at her face with embarrassment: "Miss, the master has already ordered you to go in alone."

"Why?" Wang Momo couldn't help asking.

However, the servant's face was even more troubled, he could only smile apologetically, but he didn't say why.

Seeing this, Su Ruiran knew that it must be Dad's arrangement, so she said to Wang Momo: "Okay, you can stay outside and wait for me, don't worry, I just have a few words with Dad."

Wang Momo nodded, thinking that there is nothing to worry about if Miss and Master are together.

The servant raised the curtain, and Su Ruiran walked in alone.

There was silence in the room, and a faint candle was lit.Su Chao was sitting by the table, looking down at something, there was only one lamp beside him, and the light seemed a little weak.

Seeing this, Su Ruiran saw that there was still a lamp on the table beside her, so she took it with both hands, and put the lamp on the other corner of the table.

Su Chao looked up at her, closed the book in front of him, and said calmly, "You're here."

Su Ruiran helped him up and said, "I've seen Daddy."

Su Chao stretched his waist, looked at her, pointed to the chair beside him, and said to her, "Sit down."

Su Ruiran didn't delay, she walked over and sat down. Seeing that the cold tea was already set on the table next to her, it seemed that she had already prepared it for herself.But she didn't drink tea, but asked Su Chao: "I don't know what is the reason why Daddy came to me?"

She always felt uneasy if she didn't ask things clearly first.

Su Chao was silent for a while when he heard this, but he was not in a hurry to answer immediately, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip.

Su Ruiran took her time and quietly waited for him to speak.

Soon Su Chao put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "I know that I have wronged you about your second mother, but she was also confused for a while, so someone must have provoked her."

"Yes, daughter understands, daughter will not make things difficult for father." She answered decently, but her heart was a little cold.Sure enough, Dad still thinks about the friendship with Yan for many years, so if you want to completely eradicate Yanran and Yan, you must cut off this layer of friendship.

Su Chao sighed a little when he heard the words, looked at her in a daze and said, "But don't worry, I won't let you be bullied. Your mother died young, in the final analysis, I am sorry for her."

"Why did daddy say that? If mother knew in Jiuquan, how could she have the heart to blame daddy if she knew that daddy loved her so much and couldn't let go?"

Su Chao was touched when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said: "Yes, your mother used to be the most understanding."

Looking at her father's appearance, Su Ruiran also understood that her father's affection for her mother was so deep that Yan's could not match it.But a woman's jealousy is terrible, and it is precisely because of this that Yan Shi hates her mother and herself so much, even with her daughter.

Su Ruiran was thinking about it, when she suddenly saw her father's gaze on her waist.

She was startled, and soon realized something, and wanted to cover it up, but it was too late.Su Chao frowned slightly, looked up at her and said, "Rui Ran, where is your jade pendant?"

"Then... I accidentally put that in the house." She smiled, trying to hide her panic.

But Su Chao still looked at her, his eyes seemed to penetrate her, and asked: "But I remember, you always carry this jade pendant with you, and you never leave it."

Su Ruiran was silent and bowed her head in silence.She intentionally avoided her father's gaze, otherwise it would be bad if she was found uneasy.But how to explain this matter?She was a little hesitant, knowing that her father was not easy to fool, if she didn't come up with an absolutely convincing reason, I'm afraid this matter...

As soon as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard Su Chao say, "Remember to take it with you when you meet the emperor tomorrow morning. After all, this jade pendant was kept by your mother before you were born. Looking at it always makes people laugh." Thinking of your mother." He paused at this point, and suddenly looked sideways at her: "Besides, Rui Ran, you should also know the meaning of this jade pendant, you won't lose it, right?"

"That's natural." Dad said so, in order not to show any flaws, she could only reply with a smile, "Of course my daughter will not lose such a precious thing, please rest assured, my daughter will definitely bring it to Dad tomorrow. She thought in her heart that she must find a way to get the jade pendant from Nangong Ling before tomorrow, otherwise it would be bad for her father to know.

Su Chao nodded: "That's good." Suddenly, he said for no reason: "I heard that you have been very close to Duke Huai recently?"

Su Ruiran was startled, she didn't know why her father suddenly asked such a question, but she thought it must be because Nangong Ling took her on the horse that day to be too ostentatious, which is why her father's questioning happened now.That's right, it's really hard to explain that matter, but let's see what Dad's intentions are.

Thinking of this, she showed a surprised expression, and hurriedly said: "Why did Dad say such a thing? My daughter will definitely not dare to do such a thing. It will be a loss of morality."

But Su Chao just said indifferently: "I just asked casually, what are you nervous about?"

Su Ruiran didn't speak, but she couldn't figure out what her father was thinking.

Su Chao was thinking in his heart, that day he heard people say that King Huai took his daughter away on horseback, and yesterday he testified for his daughter, if he said it was nothing, how could Nangong Ling be willing to do such a thing with his temper.Nangong Ling, doesn't he understand?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said to Su Ruiran: "Ruiran, your lifelong event is also a father's matter, if you really have something with Nangong Ling, why do you need to hide it from me."

Su Ruiran shook her head very cautiously, and said: "No, Daddy, you misunderstood. There is nothing between me and Prince Huai. These few times were all misunderstandings."

"Oh? Really." Su Chao sized her up, with an intriguing look in his eyes.

Su Ruiran didn't dare to look at him sideways, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would see through the panic in her heart.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally heard Su Chao say, "You have nothing to do with Nangong Ling, so you don't have any contact with him from now on. Remember what father told you, your future husband-in-law, Everyone else is fine, except Nangong Ling. And you must stay away from him, understand?"

Su Ruiran looked puzzled, and asked, "Why? Daddy doesn't seem to like Prince Huai?"

Su Chao's eyes were deep, and he said, "I can't say I like or hate it, but..." He suddenly stopped talking at this point.

Su Ruiran knew that her father could hide something, but she also knew that she couldn't ask any more questions.She remembered that when she was ten years old, the nearby Zhou State army invaded and captured several cities on the border of Nan State.And it was at that time that Dad was sent by the emperor to the border to defend against the enemy, and at that time, Nangong Ling was also there, and his military exploits were also won at that time.

And daddy has always been a person who appreciates heroes. Thinking about it, Nangong Ling, a young nobleman of the royal family, must have won a lot of favor from his daddy for being so brave and good at fighting.It's just that after that battle, the two had little contact, and I don't know why.

Su Ruiran was suddenly curious, what happened at that time?Will the relationship between Daddy and Nangong Ling become like this?
"It's getting late, you go back first, you can't delay the time tomorrow morning."

When her father issued an order to evict the guests, she could only get up, helped herself up and left.

Tomorrow is hunting, that is, princes, nobles and trusted ministers will present the best prey they have hunted to the emperor.In fact, this hunt should have been held at the banquet that day, but unexpectedly such a big incident happened at that time, so it was temporarily canceled and changed to tomorrow.

Su Ruiran came out of the yurt, Wang Momo had been waiting outside for a long time, seeing her complexion, she couldn't help asking: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Su Ruiran shook her head but did not speak.

Wang Momo wanted to help her into the sedan chair, but Su Ruiran refused, and wanted to drag Wang Momo back on foot.

Wang Momo looked at her tired face and was a little worried about her body, but Su Ruiran insisted on this, and Wang Momo couldn't screw her, so she had to let the two porters carry the sedan chair back first.

On the way, Nanny Wang supported Su Ruiran, never daring to leave her.

Su Ruiran remained silent the whole time, and stopped suddenly after walking for a long time.

"Miss, what happened?" Wang Momo asked, only thinking that Miss became weird after she came out of the master's room today.

Su Ruiran didn't speak, and thought for a while in silence before finally making a decision, and immediately grabbed Wang Momo's sleeve and said to her, "Mommy, you go back first, I'm going to see Lord Huai right away. Or as usual Just like that, light all the lamps in my room, so that no one will know that I am not in the room now."

How can Wang Momo feel at ease, she is still worried, and said to her: "Miss, you go alone, in case... it's better to let the slaves go with you."

"No, it's dangerous if you go with me." Su Ruiran couldn't tell Wang Momo that she was capable, so she could only comfort her, "Don't worry, Momo, you can Believe me, I will not be discovered, and I will come back when I get the jade pendant. Daddy has already asked about the jade pendant, if I don’t get it back in time, the consequences will be unimaginable if Daddy finds out.”

Wang Momo heard that she was going to get the jade pendant, and knew the seriousness of the matter if it came to light, although she was conflicted in her heart, she finally nodded and said to her: "Well, miss, you have to be careful. "

"I know, I will be careful."

To be cautious, Su Ruiran changed clothes with Wang Momo, so that even if people saw her, they would only know her as an ordinary servant.
