When everyone saw the jade pendant with the dragon pattern, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Although they didn't understand anything about consecration, this thing was clearly not an ordinary item.

Before anyone could react, Nan Qu opened all the boxes right in front of them.

A dozen or so boxes were opened in a row, each containing the same jade pendant as the first box.

If emerald is the aristocrat of jadeite, then mutton fat jade must be even more precious!

At this moment, they found more than a dozen pieces of such high-quality mutton fat jade in front of them.

Just as everyone's hearts were pounding over these jade pendants, Nan Qu actually took one of the boxes and handed it to Su Ruisheng: "This is for Dad. Because it has been blessed, you have to take it first and let the jade pendant get used to your energy."

He still couldn't understand, but Su Ruisheng knew one thing: this was his, his!!!

With trembling hands, Su Ruisheng took out the jade pendant. Whether it was a trick of the eye or a hint from Nan Qu's words, Su Ruisheng actually felt a light flash from the jade pendant, enter his body, and then disappear.

The three old men, who had been watching the commotion, were now filled with mixed feelings. What incredible luck Old Su had to have such a wonderful wife.

They didn't believe this thing belonged to Su Ruoyan. If it did, why would such a good thing only be given to Old Su now?

Even if this thing belonged to Su Ruoyan, they believed that Su Ruoyan had this luck because she met Nan Qu. Some people are just lucky in marriage.

Nan Qu closed the other boxes: "The rest are for Mom, my eldest brother, my second brother, and Ruoyan and the two children."

These words made all three old men realize they hadn't guessed wrong. If it were Su Ruoyan's, would she prepare a gift for herself? Even if she had one, wouldn't she take it herself? Why would she go through the motions at her own home?

I'm so envious!

Su Ruoli, who had been dozing off some distance away, heard that Nan Qu was looking at the gifts, so he sat down and watched. When the floral cotton-padded jacket was taken out, he almost burst out laughing.

His eyes widened when he saw Nan Qu take out the jade pendant. Now, hearing that there was one for him, he immediately scurried over.

"Sister-in-law? Which one is second brother's?"

Nan Qu said, "These are all the same, Second Brother can just take one for himself."

Su Ruoli's lips twitched. This looked so cheap; she thought it was candy.

But his hands didn't slow down; he took his jade pendant directly.

Su Ruoli was cunning; knowing that the old men were envious, she deliberately took it out and waved it in front of them a couple of times before putting it around her neck.

Just then, Lin Yaqing came out of the kitchen. She had been busy checking if there were enough ingredients and had now asked the guard to go and buy some more.

As soon as they came out, they saw that her second son had locked himself up with a turtle, his neck sticking out very long.

"Su Ruoli, do you even resemble a human being anymore?"

Su Ruoli didn't mind, and instead picked up the jade pendant on her chest: "Mom, look, my sister-in-law gave it to me."

Lin Yaqing took a closer look and exclaimed, "Oh, Xiao Qu, why did you give him such an expensive thing? He's always holed up in the lab and never gets any sun. It's such a waste to give him this."

As Lin Yaqing walked towards them, she had just stopped when a box was shoved into her hand: "This is for Mom." (She had initially considered simply writing "Mom," but then felt it didn't quite fit.)

Lin Yaqing opened the box and exclaimed in surprise again, "Oh no, I have one too?" Although she said that, the smile on Lin Yaqing's face couldn't be more obvious.

Lin Yaqing completely forgot about what she had just said about wasting her son's time. She confidently took out the jade pendant and said, "How can this thing be so beautiful?"

Su Ruisheng, standing to the side, readily picked up his own piece and said, "Who says it isn't?"

Lin Yaqing then realized that there were not only two pieces, but Su Ruisheng also had one.

However, before she could finish expressing her surprise, she saw Nan Qu take out another box: "Mom, this is for my eldest brother. Please keep it safe. I've blessed these. Only if my eldest brother personally picks up the jade pendant can it protect him. If someone else takes it, it won't work for him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaqing immediately put the things away: "Don't worry, Mom will keep them safe."

The other three elders noticed that besides the four jade pendants they had taken out, there were several more in the box. Even after subtracting the ones Nan Qu had mentioned for Su Ruoyan and her two children, there were still five left.

Then an idea popped into his head: "Little Qu, look, you seem to have some jade pendants left over. How about I sell one to your Uncle Li?"

The other two old men were clearly surprised by Old Li's shamelessness, but said, "Uncle Geng also thinks this is a good thing."

"Uncle Zhao also wants to buy one."

Seeing this, it's clear that this item is quite valuable here, but Nan Qu got it without spending any money. And if she wants more, she can get more.

These were originally given away as gifts back then; the extras were to prevent Su Ruoyan from having any grandparents or maternal grandparents.

However, I heard that both sets of elders have passed away, so these are all that's left.

“These were originally brought back to honor my parents, and the rest are for my dad. As the younger generation, I can’t go over my dad’s side. If you gentlemen want to buy anything, just talk to my dad directly.”

After saying that, Nan Qu took out three of the boxes, closed the large box, and gave it to Su Ruisheng.

What else could the three old men not understand? This child was doing Su Ruisheng a favor.

Su Ruisheng naturally knew that some things were not suitable to be discussed here, so he simply handed the box to Lin Yaqing: "Put it away for now, we'll talk about this later."

Lin Yaqing nodded, her gaze towards Nan Qu softening even more. Such a wonderful daughter-in-law was hers. Wasn't that infuriating?

No, she'll take the jade pendant to Zhao Qinglan to show off tomorrow. Forget it, I'll just wear the green bracelet. This one looks a bit too flashy.

After putting the gifts away, Nanqu then proceeded to open the gifts for everyone.

"This isn't something from before; it's the Four Treasures of the Study that I saw in a shop at the foot of Xunshan Temple. I thought the workmanship was quite good. Although they're all modern products, the Duan inkstone, Xuan paper, Huizhou ink, and the brush are all made of rabbit hair. I noticed that Dad seemed to really enjoy calligraphy, so I just bought it on a whim."

Su Ruisheng was overjoyed when he saw the writing set: "Great, great, this is truly the perfect gift for me."

The three old men standing nearby rolled their eyes: "Which one didn't touch your heart?"
