"When my elder sister was rewarded by His Majesty, I had been knocked unconscious and left in the street the night before. Compared with her, there is inevitably some jealousy in my heart..." Yan Shuang says, and quietly raises her head, looking at Yan Ling.

Seeing that Yan Ling isn't looking at her, Yan Shuang continues: "then, I wanted to go around in the House, but I didn't expect to meet Qing'er. I was confused and told the housekeeper to let Qing’er back, and then I instructed her to steal the jade pendant in the evening. "

Yan Shuang lowers her head, wipes the corners of her eyes, and goes on: "I was just confused by fever that day. When I woke up the next day, I regretted it. I wanted to put the jade pendant back, and then apologize to my sister. However, I didn't expect that we were summoned to the Palace. "

"Why didn't you say that you took the jade pendant in the hall?" Liang He suddenly cuts in. He doesn't think Yan Shuang would think she has made a mistake.

"That's because..." Yan Shuang stutters.

"Because my sister said that the jade pendant had been stolen. I'm afraid that I would be sentenced for the crime of deceiving the Emperor if I told everyone that I had stolen the jade pendant, so I dared not to say it." Yan Shuang wants to cover up.

"What's more, if this matter is exposed, the whole Prime Minister’s House will be implicated. How dare I say that?" Yan Shuang looks up at Prime Minister Yan.

Prime Minister Yan still feels angry. He stares at Yan Shuang and asks, "then，what did you do when you went back to home? Why don't you tell me about it? "

Yan Shuang has already figured out a way to deal with this. She says: "Because the case has been filed, it's OK for Shuang’er to be punished alone. I just thought that the Prime Minister’s House cannot be affected, so I decided to send the jade pendant out alone."

"As long as the jade pendant is sent out of the House, I believe that the Crown Prince and my sister will find it soon. In this way, they can finish the Emperor’s task, and the reputation of the Prime Minister’s House will keep intact." Yan Shuang kneels tamely.

Yan Shuang attaches everything she did to the whole Prime Minister's House, and by doing so she wants to force Prime Minister Yan to intercede for her for the benefit of the whole House.

How could Liang He and Yan Ling not know Yan Shuang's idea? However, looking at the increasingly ugly face of Prime Minister Yan, they just feel funny.

The Prime Minister’s House does attach great importance to reputation, but it has nothing to do with the House originally. If Yan Shuang only says that it was her own fault and did not involve the whole Prime Minister’s House, he would not have such an expression.

As for saving Yan Shuang, how could Prime Minister Yan not save his own daughter? Yan Shuang's way is an unnecessary move, which also makes Prime Minister Yan very disgusted with her.

At this time, however, Yan Shuang doesn't realize it, and even secretly feels that she is very smart to come up with such an idea to help herself.

"Muddle head, muddle head!" Says the Prime Minister sadly.

Seemingly Prime Minister Yan says that Yan Shuang is muddleheaded to steal the jade pendant because of jealousy. But only Prime Minister Yan himself can tell if he is indicating something else.

"Shuang’er knows her fault. Sister, I hope you can forgive me. Father, Your Highness, I beg you to let me go" Yan Shuang kneels down and moves to Yan Ling. She looks at her pitifully.

Although what she did is stupid, now Yan Shuang finally uses her brain and finds the right person to beg.

Of course, Prime Minister Yan will help his own daughter. The Crown Prince seems to respect Yan Ling’s opinion. At this time, as long as Yan Ling can forgive her and say a few good words for her in front of the Crown Prince, it will be easy for her to get away with punishment.

However, how can Yan Ling and Liang He not know what she can think of? Yan Ling has to intercede for Yan Shuang. After all, she is a family member.

However, it is another matter whether Liang He will let her go because of this plea. Anyway, no one can guarantee that.

In addition, Yan Ling doesn't plan to let it go so easily.

"Shuang’er, you want my forgiveness, but how can I forgive you? The jade pendant is lost, and I have doubted all the people in the House, but I have never doubted you. I always thought we are intimate sisters, but how can I think of... "

Yan Ling turns around as if she cannot hide her pain of suddenly finding the betrayal of someone she believes in.

Hearing this, Yan Shuang suddenly panics. The Crown Prince attaches great importance to Yan Ling's attitude. If Yan Ling refuses to forgive Yan Shuang, then the Crown Prince will not let her go easily.

If he wants to deal with her theft strictly and let the Emperor know, Yan Shuang will end terribly.

What's more, if it's well known, Yan Shuang would have no face to appear in the capital.

"Sister, I know that I was wrong. I just lost my mind for a while and did something wrong. Sister, it’s all my fault. I already know that. Please forgive me, sister." Yan Shuang pulls Yan Ling's skirt eagerly, even tears in her eyes seem more real.

"Eh..." Yan Ling seems to be hesitant, too. She wants to help Yan Shuang stand up, but she can't persuade herself.

Prime Minister Yan is such a smart person that he can see that Yan Ling has been softened. Immediately he decides to take the chance and says something good for Yan Shuang.

"Ling'er, I know that you have been wronged in this matter. But Shuang’er is your sister anyway. No matter what, you two are the closest sisters!" Prime Minister Yan looks sad.

Hearing this, Yan Ling suddenly understands something and immediately bends down to help the kneeling Yan Shuang stand up.

"Now that Father said that and my sister knows her fault, what else can I say? I just take it as your mistake this time. If you do this kind of things again... “Yan Ling gently hugs Yan Shuang and wipes her tears.

"Don't worry, sister. I will never do that again. Never." Hearing this, Yan Shuang hurriedly promises.

After a while, Yan Ling is still silent, but Yan Shuang is in a hurry. After waiting for a while, she gently pulls Yan Ling's sleeve. When Yan Ling looks over, she peeps at Liang He sitting aside, by which Yan Ling knows clearly what she means.

Yan Ling looks at Yan Shuang and seems to be hesitant. She keeps her head down and doesn’t look at Liang He, let alone intercede for Yan Shuang.

Yan Shuang is helpless, so she turns her eyes to her father. Prime Minister Yan tips Yan Shuang a wink and Yan Ling immediately understands. She pulls Yan Ling's sleeve and tears come out of her eyes.

Seeing Yan Shuang's appearance, Yan Ling just thinks it is funny. What did she think when she did this? Now things are getting worse, and she asks for her help.

"Your Royal Highness, since the jade pendant has been found, can you let Shuang’er go?"
