Chapter 412: The Fiancé Ran Away with the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (37)

After Shu Shichu separated from Mu Changqing, she returned to the Shu family. When the family saw her, they were so excited that their eyes were red, especially Shu's mother. She hugged Shu Shichu and kept patting her shoulders with her hands, but she was too distressed to use any strength, so she could only curse her hatefully: "You are so cruel! You haven't come back to see your parents for so long, I thought you died outside, and now I am leaving you to die..."

Shu Shichu quickly comforted her: "Mom, I'm fine. I'm back, right?"

Shu's father also looked her up and down with red eyes. Seeing that her face was ruddy and healthy, he was relieved and said to her: "You must have suffered a lot when you went out this time? If you are bullied, tell Dad and Dad will help you get revenge!"

Shu Shichu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, no one bullies me, but I am the one bullying others. My skills are so amazing, who dares to mess with me?"

The two brothers also came to show their concern. The eldest sister-in-law was holding a chubby baby beside him. Shu Shichu suddenly realized something and looked at the little baby in surprise and asked, "Is this my little nephew?"

The eldest sister-in-law nodded and said, "Yes, he has never seen his aunt since he was born."

The little nephew was only two or three months old. His grape-like black eyes looked at Shu Shichu curiously. Every time his chubby little face moved, the flesh trembled, which was so cute.

"Give me a hug." Shu Shichu was envious. Fortunately, her nephew was not shy and was very well behaved. He let her hold him and gave her a silly smile.

"Look, Yu'er also likes her aunt." The eldest sister-in-law said with a smile.

Shu Shichu concealed himself and took out a beautiful silver bracelet from the space. He pressed a small mechanism in the dark, and the bracelet shrank a circle to fit his nephew's wrist.

Everyone was shocked to see the bracelet shrinking. Shu's father asked, "Where did you get this silver bracelet? It changes with the size of your wrist?"

Shu Shichu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad. This is definitely from a clean and legitimate background. I won't harm my nephew."

"Chu'er, this silver bracelet is so unique and exquisite, and it's a one-of-a-kind work of craftsmanship. Yu'er is just a child. Wouldn't it be a pity to let him wear such a precious bracelet? You should take it back and wear it yourself." The eldest sister-in-law advised.

"Sister-in-law, this is a gift from me to my nephew. What's a pity? He can wear it from childhood to adulthood, so he won't forget me, his aunt..." Shu Shichu said with a smile, "Besides, I have quite a few jewels like this. I'll take them out for you and me to choose from later!"

Shu Shichu teased his nephew for a long time, and then he really took out a bag full of jewels, opened it, and said to his mother and sister-in-law in a very generous manner: "Mother, sister-in-law, you can pick whichever you like."

When the family saw the table full of dazzling treasures, they were so shocked that they were speechless. Although their family was wealthy and had no shortage of jewelry, the ones that Shu Shichu took out were obviously not ordinary jewels. Each piece could be compared with the imperial jewels in the palace.

The Shu family was a family of officials, so they naturally had an extraordinary vision. When they saw these exquisite jewels, their first reaction was not excitement, but worry and anxiety.

Father Shu's beard was almost ripped off, and he anxiously asked Shu Shichu: "Chu'er, where did you get these things?"

Brother Shu also lowered his voice and asked her: "Chu'er, if you have done anything wrong, please tell us immediately so that we can help you clean up the traces as soon as possible!"

"Yes, yes, kid, I hope you won't be led astray by those people in the underworld..." Shu's mother also began to worry.

Shu Shichu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "What are you thinking? I didn't do anything wrong. These things were not stolen or robbed."

"Well, I'll tell you the truth. These are the jewels of the royal family of the previous dynasty. Two months ago, a few friends and I in the martial arts world got the treasure map left by the royal family of the previous dynasty by chance. We were lucky enough to find it. These are my trophies, and the other friends also have them... Now the previous dynasty has been destroyed for hundreds of years. Can they still come to me to get these things back?" Shu Shichu simply told them the truth.

Hearing her words, the whole family was stunned. After a long time, they regained their sanity. The second brother Shu couldn't believe his ears. He swallowed and asked Shu Shichu: "Sister, you said these are the jewels of the royal family of the previous dynasty? You actually found the treasure of the previous dynasty?!"

"Yes." Shu Shichu nodded.

Brother Shu, who was always steady, seemed to be dreaming at this moment. He looked at his pretty, delicate and lovely sister, and could not connect her with the search for treasures from the previous dynasty.

The old man is still the wisest. Father Shu asked directly, "Besides you and your friends, did anyone else know that you got the treasure from the previous dynasty?"

Shu Shichu said: "Dad, I understand your worries, but you don't have to worry, because even if other people know that the treasure of the previous dynasty has been discovered, they can't cause trouble for us."

Shu Shichu thought of the group of brainless and suicidal members of the Heaven-Defying Religion and could not help but sneer:

"The treasure of the previous dynasty was hidden on a small island called Liuyu Island in the South China Sea, far away from the land. We finally found this island and successfully dug the underground palace. Unfortunately, in order to get the treasure first, the people of the Nitian Sect actually used thunderbolts to clear the way. As a result, not only the underground palace where the treasure was hidden, but also the entire Liuyu Island was blown to the bottom of the sea. Except for the very few treasures that a few friends and I rescued at the critical moment, the rest of the treasures were buried in the sea with Liuyu Island."

When the other members of the Shu family heard Shu Shichu's words, the expressions on their faces suddenly became very interesting, changing back and forth, sometimes surprised, sometimes regretful... In short, they were all expressions that were hard to describe in words.

"...You said you only had time to take a little bit of the treasures, and the rest were buried in the sea?" Shu's father asked with an expression on his face as if he had a toothache.

"Yes, fortunately, we are good at light work and were lucky enough to escape from the underground palace and Liuyu Island. Otherwise, we would have been buried with those people from the Nitian Sect." Shu Shichu recounted the thrill of the moment in a light-hearted manner.

The Shu family suddenly no longer felt sorry for the treasures. They felt sorry for their daughter/sister’s suffering and almost losing her life in the sea, so they lost interest in the treasures of the previous dynasty.

Only Shu's father warned: "Chu'er, although those are treasures from the previous dynasty and have sunk to the bottom of the sea, it is best not to mention this matter forever. After all, people's minds are unpredictable. If others think you have obtained many treasures, you will become the target of public criticism. You guys, remember, the treasures from the previous dynasty have nothing to do with our family!"

The others also agreed solemnly, only Shu Shichu felt a little regretful: "If I take back these jewels, won't it mean that I can't let my mother and sister-in-law wear them?"
