In her heart, she screamed so loudly that her whole mind shook.
That pendant could not be touched.
That pendant absolutely could not be given away.
It had been personally bestowed upon her by the eldest princess. She had relied on that pendant again and again to raise her own worth in the eyes of others. Whenever she wore it, people would think of the princess's favor. Whenever she touched it, she herself would remember that she was not an ordinary girl.
That pendant was not just a pendant.
It was face, status, value, and connection.
It was also a quiet little secret she treasured with extra care.
But her body ignored all of her panic.
Under countless staring eyes, Yun Wanrou's hands untied the jade pendant at her waist by themselves.
Then she placed it solemnly in both palms and raised her hands toward Bai Lingling in a respectful offering posture, like a sinner presenting tribute and praying to be spared.
The whole crowd nearly died from shock.
