The steward was extremely vigilant, always connecting any hint of something amiss to the intrusion into the Prince Mansion.
However, the Crown Prince was no easy adversary.
With a smile, he removed the Jade Ring from his hand and said, "Is this what the steward was referring to? It's a fake, a counterfeit. As you know, when people go out to do business, they tend to judge others based on their appearance..."
"Before, to put on a show, I bought a counterfeit that resembled the official Jade Ring, and I've been wearing it without taking it off."
"If working as a gardener here means I can't wear a Jade Ring, then I won't wear it and will put it away. Well, it's just a fake, it's not worth much, might as well throw it away!"
"To avoid causing me trouble..."
As the Crown Prince spoke, he removed the Jade Ring from his hand and tossed it decisively into a pile of trash in the corner of the flower pot, without a moment's hesitation.
