One-Eyed Dragon usually sits in a small house, where people who know him go to sell him things, and some people often introduce customers to him.

When Lin Qingyan entered the small house and saw him, she quickly asked, "Brother One-Eyed Dragon, I wanted to ask if you had ever received a phoenix pendant made of mutton fat jade?"

The one-eyed man looked at her in surprise, "You, you want that phoenix jade pendant?"

"Um."

"I did receive them."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Sisi burst in.

Lin Sisi said, "Brother One-Eyed Dragon, I overheard outside that you once received a jade pendant shaped like a phoenix. That jade pendant is a family heirloom, and I want to redeem it."

"You, you all want that jade pendant?"

"certainly."

Lin Qingyan was prepared. Whether she competed with Lin Sisi with money or snatched it directly, she would not let the jade pendant return to Lin Sisi's hands.

Lin Qingyan said, "Brother One-Eyed Dragon, I am Lanlan's friend. That jade pendant is a keepsake left to me by my mother, and I must redeem it."

When Lin Qingyan mentioned He Lanlan's name, the one-eyed dragon's attitude improved considerably.

"So you're Lanlan's friend, but... but..." He hesitated, looking troubled.

"But what?"

"But, but I just sold that jade pendant." The one-eyed man regretted it a little. He looked at Lin Qingyan apologetically: "If you could have come half an hour earlier, that would have been fine too."

"Who did you sell it to?"

“A stranger came and left after he bought his things. I don’t know where he went or where he’s from. His accent didn’t sound like a local’s, and I don’t know if he’s from around here or not.”

Lin Qingyan and Lin Sisi both felt disappointed.

Lin Qingyan said, "Brother One-Eyed Dragon, only half an hour has passed. Let's quickly search the black market again. Maybe he's still here."

"Alright, alright, let's hurry out and look for him." As the one-eyed man walked out, he described the person's appearance and clothing to Lin Qingyan. Lin Sisi listened carefully, hoping that she would be the first to see the person.

The black market is only so big, and they searched it almost twice, but they still couldn't find that person.

One-Eyed Dragon sighed again, "If I had known Lanlan's friend wanted that jade pendant, I would have kept it no matter what."

But it's too late to say anything now.

Lin Qingyan didn't want to give up; she wanted to seize even the slightest hope.

She urged One-Eyed Dragon, "Could you please keep an eye out for me, Brother One-Eyed Dragon? If you see that person again, could you buy the jade pendant back from him? Or, no matter who has the jade pendant, as long as you see it, please buy it for me. Money is not a problem, as long as the jade pendant can be returned, I will be extremely grateful."

One-Eyed Dragon nodded. "Don't worry, Lanlan's friend is my friend. I will definitely keep an eye out and try my best to find the jade pendant again."

Lin Sisi and Lin Qingyan both left the black market dejectedly, neither of them in a good mood.

But once outside, Lin Sisi suddenly burst into laughter.

She looked at Lin Qingyan with schadenfreude, "Lin Qingyan, it's fine if I don't want that jade pendant, because it never belonged to me. My mother found it among your mother's belongings and gave it to me. You're right, it should have belonged to you."

It's a pity you didn't wear it when you were little, and now that you know it exists, it's vanished without a trace. Lin Qingyan, isn't that ridiculous? Aren't you pathetic? You still haven't seen that jade pendant. But I've worn it for years, hahaha!

How ridiculous! How pathetic! You can only blame your short-lived mother for not being able to see your family heirlooms, unlike my mother who not only accompanied me as I grew up but also gave me everything I wanted.

"You and your mother are equally despicable!"

Lin Qingyan looked at her with red eyes, rushed over in a few steps, and grabbed her neck.

Then he raised his other hand and slapped her hard across the face.

Lin Si wanted to fight back, but she couldn't hit Lin Qingyan at all.

He could only glare at Lin Qingyan with resentment.

"Lin Qingyan, I've already worn that jade pendant, so it's uncertain whether you'll be able to wear it in the future."

"You slut, you got off easy for those ten-odd years. You four are despicable and shameless, you won't get away with this."

She suddenly smiled too.

"Lin Heping has been arrested and imprisoned. Lin Guanghui, you're about to be executed, aren't you? Will you be the next one arrested or executed, or Fang Huilan?"

"Lin Qingyan, you're a jinx! Don't you dare curse me and my mother. I'm a military officer's wife now, I live a more noble and carefree life than you. My mother has also married a capable man, much better than when she was with Lin Heping, while you only deserve to be with a cripple."

Clap clap clap clap!

Lin Sisi received several more slaps to the face.

"I made you noble, I made you dashing, but I still slapped you in the face. You can stay noble, you can stay dashing."

After Lin Qingyan finished hitting her, she kicked her in the stomach, knocking her to the ground, then clapped her hands and left.

Lin Sisi sat on the ground, her face swollen from the beating, clutching her stomach, glaring angrily in the direction Lin Qingyan had left.

"Lin Qingyan, you won't have a good ending. If you want that jade pendant, I wish you'll never find it in your entire life. If you want to marry Lu Zhengting, I wish Lu Zhengting's leg will never heal and he'll never be able to return to the army. I wish you'll never become an officer's wife and will spend your whole life with a cripple."
