Watching Ye Jiu's lonely figure, Liu Yunqing fell into deep thought.
Had he really offended this young lady without realizing it, or had the Liu Family done something he didn't know about?
While he was pondering, the girl had already walked away, stopping in front of two boys and saying something, but she was too far away for Liu Yunqing to clearly hear or recognize one of the boys, who seemed somewhat familiar.
Shaking his head, Liu Yunqing didn't dwell on the thoughts any longer and instead turned to speak with the young boy beside him, "Cousin, why did you leave the Royal Residence without anyone with you? Do your father and aunt know?"
The boy had reattached his jade pendant to his waist. Thinking it over, he felt this was not secure enough and so took it down again and stuffed it into a hidden pocket inside his garment.
The jade pendant was very important to him, and he absolutely could not lose it.
