Li Jing held a pair of earrings, curiously saying, "Why are Aunt Chai's earrings in Father's sachet?"
The Princely Heir turned back with a slight frown. These earrings...
That day, Miss Chai and Li Yuzhu had brought tea to the fields for him.
When Miss Chai returned home, she said an earring had dropped.
He thought that it was quite unfair for them to lose an earring while bringing him water.
He searched with a torch overnight between the vegetable racks and found the lost earring.
When she brought water again, he secretly placed it in the teacup.
"Father, can you tell me why Aunt Chai's earrings are in the sachet?" Li Jing asked, looking at the sachet in confusion.
The Princely Heir grasped the sachet in his hand.
He crouched down and whispered a warning to Li Jing, "Your Aunt Chai must've been careless, putting the earrings in the powder and then together in the sachet. I will return them to her quietly, and you mustn't tell anyone, not even your little aunt."
