So Liu Yinyin dug up the jade seal from the ground.
That was a priceless treasure, and both Xia Lei and she were overjoyed. Xia Lei even told her to hide it well and not show it to anyone.
This is the jade seal that Liu Yinyin obtained by chance. Now, with just a few words from Shan Fangdu, he has changed the origin of this jade seal to his family heirloom.
How is this possible?
Liu Yinyin stared at the jade seal, her lips twitching.
She remembered that Guo Zhen had said he might be promoted again this year.
She asked Guo Zhen why, but Guo Zhen refused to say, only saying that he was capable enough and it was only right for him to be promoted.
Looking at this jade seal now, Liu Yinyin finally understands why.
Because Guo Zhen gave this priceless treasure to Shan Shengshuo, asking him to help him make arrangements.
Unfortunately, after discovering that Guo Zhen was with her, Shan Lian flew into a rage, and it might have even escalated to the point where Shan Shengshuo was involved. Because of Shan Lian, Shan Shengshuo didn't help Guo Zhen...
Guo Zhen lost both his wife and his army this time.
Liu Yinyin understood, and felt a sense of relief.
“This jade seal is really beautiful,” she said cheerfully.
She thought she knew a secret that no one else present knew, and she was smug about it, unaware that Jiang Ci was watching her from not far away.
The moment Jiang Ci saw the jade seal, he knew for sure that it was the one Liu Yinyin had brought from the Shanding Brigade!
She recalled the day Xia Lei was arrested, and the day Liu Yinyin took her son and luggage to Beijing.
To prevent her from taking anything she shouldn't have, the police even accompanied her back to the Shanding Brigade.
Jiang Ci, joining in the fun, saw the police inspecting Liu Yinyin's suitcase.
It seemed that nothing that shouldn't have been placed inside was there, but there was one thing that the police didn't examine closely.
The cylindrical bag that Liu Yinyin's son used to put candy in.
When the police took the bag, Liu Yinyin was extremely nervous.
Jiang Ci was unaware of the existence of this jade seal at the time, so she didn't understand why Liu Yinyin was so nervous.
But now, Jiang Ci understands.
Liu Yinyin was nervous because the jade seal was inside the bag of candy.
Everything is starting to make sense.
Jiang Ci sorted things out in her mind.
Liu Yinyin and Xia Lei dug up the jade seal in the mountains, scratching the marks left by Huang Zhiyuan.
On the day Xia Lei was arrested, he confessed all his secrets in order to hide the biggest secret: that his family possessed the Imperial Seal of the State.
Liu Yinyin was unable to save Xia Lei on her own, so she brought the imperial seal to the capital and eventually sought help from Guo Zhen.
As for Guo Zhen taking a liking to Liu Yinyin, it's a case of a beautiful woman attracting a man; there's nothing more to say about that.
Guo Zhen accepted Liu Yinyin's jade seal and managed to get Xia Lei out of the country. Guo Zhen then gave the jade seal to his father-in-law, Shan Shengshuo.
Shan Shengshuo was unaware of the origin of the jade seal, which is why he boldly printed its design on the invitation to demonstrate his status in the capital.
Everything made sense now, from the journey of the Imperial Seal from the Shanding Brigade to the capital.
Jiang Ci leaned back, slowly tapping her thigh with her fingers.
There's only one thing I don't understand now.
Who exactly killed Huang Zhiyuan? Who exactly coveted this jade seal?
I've been thinking about these questions.
Jiang Ci couldn't help but slightly curl her lips.
It's getting more and more interesting.
Someone in the capital wanted this jade seal, but it ended up in the hands of Shan Shengshuo.
If the person who wants the imperial seal discovers that Shan Shengshuo's invitation openly displays the design of the imperial seal, will they object? Or will they challenge Shan Shengshuo to a duel?
If that's the case, then the real culprit...wouldn't he just surface on his own?
She raised her hand to cover half her face, trying to hide her barely concealed smile.
Jiang Ci really wanted to go back as soon as possible, see Zhou Mingli, and pass on this news to him.
Jiang Ci, having figured things out, really wants to thank Shan Shengshuo.
I am grateful that Shan Shengshuo was interested in the connections she had, and I am grateful that Shan Shengshuo handed her the invitation.
Thanks to Danfangdu for taking a liking to Liu Yinyin and bringing her here.
Ha ha.
Jiang Ci took a deep breath, suppressing her joy and maintaining an expression that couldn't be more normal as she looked at everything before her.
She stood up and walked out, intending to go to the restroom.
Liu Yinyin noticed her leaving, turned her head and said softly to Shan Fangdu, "I'm going to the washroom."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
"No need, just tell me the location. There are still so many people here, how can you, as the host, leave?"
Danfangdu's gaze towards Liu Yinyin softened even more, feeling that Liu Yinyin was the best and most considerate woman in the world.
He said gently, "Go out the door, turn right, and walk to the end. Be careful, and come find me if anything happens."
Liu Yinyin nodded and walked out gracefully.
"Brother Dan, are you really interested in this woman?" someone asked, leaning closer.
One-sided attention-seeking, remaining noncommittal about friends' questions.
The man couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Shan, your old man is planning for you to marry that woman from the Wen family. What will happen to the Wen family's woman if you take a fancy to her?"
Shan Lian's godfather is a member of the Wen family.
Danfangdu's eyes darkened. "What does it matter to me what happens to her? The only person I love is Yinyin, and the only person I want to marry is her."
"I doubt it; the old man won't agree."
He clenched his fists tightly, determined to marry Liu Yinyin regardless of whether the old man agreed or not!
...
Liu Yinyin came out of the house and looked to her right, where she spotted Jiang Ci's back.
She did indeed go to the restroom.
Liu Yinyin immediately jogged after him.
As soon as she turned the corner, Liu Yinyin saw the person standing at the corner. She couldn't stop and rushed forward.
Jiang Ci floated lightly to the side, while Liu Yinyin slammed directly into the door.
She was dressed lightly, and the blow made her arm turn red.
Liu Yinyin groaned, a hint of pain in her eyes. She turned to look at Jiang Ci, gritting her teeth as she called her name, "Jiang Ci!"
Jiang Ci dusted off non-existent dust from her clothes and raised an eyebrow. "Isn't this Liu Zhiqing?"
"Does your husband, Xia Lei, know that you're spending time with that boy from the Shan family?"
Liu Yinyin steadied herself and sneered, "Even if you leave the Shanding Brigade, you still can't change your gossipy nature!"
"Xia Lei and I are already divorced. What business is it of his who I'm with?"
She turned around and stared at her with an unpredictable expression. "Jiang Ci, you really are a persistent ghost. Wherever I go, you follow."
Sometimes Jiang Ci envies some people's logic, which is unique and self-perfecting.
She said calmly, "Are you scared?"
Liu Yinyin was taken aback, her heart suddenly tightening. She pursed her lips and said, "Afraid? What am I afraid of? Am I afraid of you?"
