"Pearls and jade!"

Seeing that Sheng Wanwan had finished nursing and was fast asleep, Madam Chu let out a soft sigh.

The fact that my daughter can see evil spirits and is now sleeping soundly proves that there should be no danger in the room.

"Oh! Is Madam hungry? The bird's nest porridge in the small kitchen is still warm. I'll bring it in for you right away."

Zhu Cui yawned and lifted the curtain to come in.

"Don't rush to eat, Zhucui. I'm asking you! Have you ever seen this before?"

Chu picked up the jade pendant around Sheng Wanwan's neck and asked.

"No, madam, where did this come from?"

Zhu Cui walked to Chu Shi's side, looked at the jade pendant around Sheng Wanwan's neck in the swaddling clothes, and asked in confusion.

"I don't know, it just suddenly appeared in the room. Didn't you hear any strange noises in the outer room?"

Chu asked, frowning.

"No, madam. Could it be that someone has been in the room?"

But I've been guarding the outer room the whole time, so no one should be able to get past me and come in!

Could it be from the window?

As Zhu Cui spoke, she glanced at the tightly closed window, shook her head, and denied her own idea.

"No, if someone opens the window, the noise will be even louder. Even if I don't hear it from the outside, Madam will still notice!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Chu felt that what Zhu Cui said made sense, and that there was something strange about this matter.

Logically speaking, neither she nor Zhucui are heavy sleepers, so how could they not have noticed if someone entered the room?

If no one had entered the room, how did this jade pendant end up in his daughter's hands?

Moreover, Zhu Cui is a little beggar whom he picked up when she was a child, and she is nineteen years old this year.

She always stayed by her side and taught her martial arts from a young age.

Although he is young, his martial arts skills are quite high.

The commotion caused by that sword was quite significant, yet she didn't even come in, which is unusual in itself.

Madam Chu frowned as she looked at her baby daughter in swaddling clothes, reached out and touched her chubby face, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it.

Regardless of who sent this jade pendant or how it was sent!

It is certain that the jade pendant contains the silver sword that can protect Wanwan. As long as she carries it with her, perhaps Wanwan can grow up safely.

Chu felt a little relieved.

"Alright, let's not worry about where this jade pendant came from. It hasn't done anything bad to Wanwan, and it looks quite nice on her. Let her keep wearing it!"

"Also, go find Meiniang tomorrow and ask her to help me investigate the origin of this jade pendant!"

A cold smile appeared on Chu's lips. Daring to touch her daughter? Did they really think Chu Lan was easy to bully?

"Madam? Are you planning to reopen the Misty Rain Pavilion?"

Zhu Cui's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Hmm! I originally wanted to follow the person I love, away from the storms of life, and be an ordinary housewife. But alas..."

Chu stopped there and lowered her eyes, a hint of sadness in them.

Despite her determination to end the relationship, she still felt a pang of bitterness because he was the man she had loved for over ten years.

Zhu Cui immediately composed herself and advised, "Madam, since the general has already betrayed you, why should you still cling to the past?"

In the past six months, the general has become increasingly audacious.

When the old general was alive, how could he have dared to treat you like this?

When the old General Zhenguo's mansion was still in decline, how could he dare to bring a mistress into the house?

He always said that the old general broke him up with that bitch, but who knows if the old general actually did that?

He was indeed talented at that time, but there were so many talented young men from prominent families in the capital, and countless men admired his wife! If he really didn't want to, he could have just told his wife directly.

"Does the lady really intend to insist on marrying a peasant like him?"

Zhu Cui grew increasingly angry as she spoke, and in the end, she was almost about to unleash a torrent of curses!

"Alright, stop mentioning that man!" Madam Chu raised her head and looked at Zhu Cui. "Don't worry! I won't have any more hope for him from now on."

"Besides this jade pendant, please also ask Yunniang to investigate my father's death and my elder brother's leg injury!"

"Madam, do you think there's something wrong with your son-in-law?"

Zhu Cui's eyes widened.

"I don't know, go check it out!"

Chu sighed, hoping it wasn't him!

If it really is him, then she is a sinner against the Chu family...

"Alright! I'll go first thing tomorrow morning! Madam, don't worry about it! I'll bring you some bird's nest porridge, would you like some?"

Zhu Cui looked at Chu Shi's dejected appearance and said with heartache.

"Yes! Thank you! Zhucui!"

After eating a bowl of bird's nest porridge, seeing that Sheng Wanwan was still sleeping soundly, Madam Chu extinguished the candle and went to bed with her beloved daughter.

...

That night, Sheng Wanwan woke up twice more. Each time she woke up, she drank some milk, had her diaper changed, and then went back to sleeping soundly.

There's nothing we can do; newborn babies are just naturally sleepy.

The next morning, as soon as Sheng Wanwan opened her eyes, she saw a cute little boy standing by her bed.

"Little sister's awake! Second brother, come quick, look at her big, beautiful eyes! Little sister, I'm your third brother, call me third brother!"

Sheng Wenze stared at the baby in the small blanket with a look of joy on his face.

His little sister is so pretty, he loves her so much!

Sheng Wanwan looked at the cute little boy in front of her in a daze, and then she remembered.

This should be the third young master of the Sheng family in the original book, named Sheng Wenze, who is six years old this year.
