Helian Cheng watched Li Jiajing walk away and said to Ade in his arms, "Your mother will definitely come back." He was also confident in his judgment.

Li Jiajing originally planned to go to the northwest, but now that she knew who the owner of the other half of the jade pendant was, she changed her itinerary.

She is going to see her godmother.

After three days and three nights on the boat, we finally arrived at a small town near Yichang.

Li Jiajing came to the hill where her godmother was buried.

Prepared some offerings and whispered to my godmother.

Xiao Cui and the guards were far away.

"Godmother, I have a child. His name is A-De, and his full name is Helian Xuan. He is also the descendant of the owner of the other half of the jade pendant."

"I already know about your situation. Godmother, you have suffered so much. Godmother, the past is the past. I hope you can reunite with the head of the Helian family over there."

"Mother, what should I do?"

A gentle breeze blew away the burnt yellow paper. Perhaps the yellow paper wanted to carry Li Jiajing's words to a distant foreign land.

Li Jiajing knelt for a long time and finally came down the mountain when it was about to rain.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, heavy rain was pouring down.

The three of them quickly got on the carriage and hurried to the town.

When they arrived at the hotel in town, all three of them were soaked. They booked two rooms in the hotel.

Li Jiajing stood in front of the window, watching the heavy rain outside. There were few pedestrians on the road, and they were all walking quickly.

"Madam, it's time to eat." Xiao Cui pushed the door open and came in with food.

Li Jiajing said, "I have no appetite."

"My lady, don't think about anything in advance. Only by eating a full meal can you solve the problem."

"Everyone come out."

Suddenly, shouting was heard outside. Then the guards reported that a group of soldiers had arrived at the inn and asked everyone to leave.

Li Jiajing and three others followed other guests to the hotel lobby.

"Listen up, everyone! A minister recently passed by here. He said that the current emperor loves talented people like his own sons. Anyone with talent can sign up with him, receive travel expenses, and come to the capital to compete with each other. The time is every September 9th. If you have friends and relatives, please spread the word."

Everyone murmured after hearing this.

"Of course, those who make false reports will be severely punished."

"Ma'am, how about we go and take a look?"

Li Jiajing thought about it and decided to go and take a look since she had nothing to do.
