Chapter 71 Returning the Property to Its Original Owner



"Not running away anymore?"

Looking at Tai Jingwan who came back, Wei Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and said to Tai Jingwan.

"It turns out to be the general who guards the country." Tai Jingwan saw who it was and sighed. She didn't understand why this great god came to her yard?

"You little thief, you made it so hard for me to find you!"

Before Wei Xiuyuan could answer Tai Jingwan's question, Zhou Zhongan rushed to Jiang Jinyue and spoke excitedly.

Jiang Jinyue:? ?

What thief?

Does she know this person?

Amber and Ruyi, who were following behind Tai Jingwan, didn't understand what was going on.

Tai Jingwan also looked at Wei Xiuyuan who was leisurely standing aside, not understanding what was going on.

...

...

"Amber, serve the tea."

After a while, Tai Jingwan pretended to be calm and said to Amber beside her.

Tai Jingwan had already recognized the two people in front of her. In fact, they were their saviors.

Since they have come to our house, we should at least treat them with courtesy, even though these two people are quite rude.

However, Tai Jingwan was also very surprised to see Zhou Zhongan running straight towards Jiang Jinyue. When did these two become so close?

"Mr. Zhou, if you have anything to say, why don't you sit down and talk?" Seeing Jiang Jinyue's pleading eyes, he had no choice but to speak.

After the four of us sat down, eight eyes looked at each other, and for some reason, we all felt something was strange.

"I wonder what the General Zhenguo and Mr. Zhou are here for as 'guests'?" Tai Jingwan asked after a light cough.

"Ask him, I came here with him." Wei Xiuyuan nodded towards Zhou Zhongan and said.

"Mr. Zhou?" Tai Jingwan looked at Zhou Zhongan again and asked.

"I'm looking for her!" Zhou Zhongan said without thinking, pointing at Jiang Jinyue beside him.

"Looking for me? What do you want to see me for?" Jiang Jinyue looked at Zhou Zhongan in confusion, thinking, could it be that she still owes this man something?

"What do I want to find you for? Tell me, I saved you with good intentions, why did you steal my jade pendant?" Zhou Zhong had been holding this in for a long time. God knows, in order to find this jade pendant, he went to every place he could and searched everywhere he could.

As it turned out, his jade pendant was found to be in the hands of this woman.

She also brought it out carelessly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I steal your jade pendant? Don't slander me!" Jiang Jinyue denied without thinking.

"I slandered you? The jade pendant is still on your waist. The evidence is all here. You tell me that I slandered you?" Zhou Zhongan was very angry at this time.

This thief not only stole his things, but also took them out.

Now, he refuses to admit it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you have any evidence to prove that this jade pendant is yours?" Jiang Jinyue quickly covered the jade pendant around her waist and looked at the person in front of her with a defensive look.

This jade pendant was a gift from the Tai family to her.

[Could it be that this bad guy discovered that this jade pendant is actually very valuable and is trying to blackmail me on purpose? 】

Jiang Jinyue thought to herself.

Tai Jingwan also looked at Zhou Zhongan with suspicion. If it weren't for the fact that this man had saved them before, she would have wanted to drive him out at this moment.

"That jade pendant is really his." Wei Xiuyuan came forward to prove it for Zhou Zhongan.

For some reason, Tai Jingwan did not doubt Wei Xiuyuan's words. She turned to look at Jiang Jinyue beside her, but she did not think that Jiang Jinyue would steal the jade pendant from Mr. Zhou. After all, the Jiang family was a royal merchant family. The thing that her family had the most was silver and all kinds of rare treasures.

"Could there be any misunderstanding?" Tai Jingwan looked at the two of them who were angry and silent, so she asked carefully.

"This jade pendant was a gift given to me by Uncle and Aunt Tai when I went to their home last time." Jiang Jinyue said unhappily and glared at Zhou Zhong, thinking that this man was blackmailing her.

Now it was Tai Jingwan's turn to be puzzled. When did her parents give Jiang Jinyue a treasure without her knowledge?

"Sister Jiang, can I take a look?" After thinking about it, Tai Jingwan decided to take a look. After all, she didn't remember anyone having such a jade pendant.

"Of course you can." Jiang Jinyue took out the jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Tai Jingwan without thinking.

Zhou Zhongan, who was standing aside, watched anxiously, fearing that the two men would break their Jiange heirloom jade pendant. If that happened, he would not be able to face the ancestors of their Zhou family a hundred years later.

Wei Xiuyuan acted as if it was none of his business.

Quietly serve as a qualified escort.

Tai Jingwan looked at the jade pendant, but her brows were tightly furrowed.

This jade pendant doesn't seem to belong to the Tai family.

"Sister Jiang, who in our Tai family gave you this jade pendant?" Tai Jingwan asked tactfully.

"I don't know." Jiang Jinyue shook her head and said.

"Then why did my sister say that this was the jade pendant given to you by the Tai family?" Tai Jingwan was already 70% certain that this might be a misunderstanding.

"My sister and I were in danger at that time. When we came back, the jade pendant was on me." Jiang Jinyue thought about it and told the truth.

"After I rescued you, my jade pendant was lost." Zhou Zhongan said quickly.

"Mr. Zhou, do you have any evidence to prove that this jade pendant is yours?" Tai Jingwan thought for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zhongan standing beside her and asked.

"This jade pendant looks like a jade pendant, but it is actually a key." Zhou Zhongan stretched out his hand towards Tai Jingwan. After Tai Jingwan saw Jiang Jinyue nodded, she handed the jade pendant to Zhou Zhongan.

After Zhou Zhongan took the jade pendant, he dropped a drop of blood on it, and the jade pendant broke into two.

Zhou Zhongan turned the jade pendant into the shape of a key.

Jiang Jinyue and Tai Jingwan looked at each other in surprise. This thing really belongs to someone else.

[Oh my god, this is so embarrassing. This is a huge misunderstanding. 】

"My benefactor, I misunderstood this matter. However, I always thought that this jade pendant was given to me by my uncle and aunt Tai, so I have been carrying it with me all the time." Although Jiang Jinyue was embarrassed, she was the one who made the mistake first, so she admitted her mistake immediately.

"This is not your fault. Fortunately, you helped me keep it. Otherwise, if the jade pendant was really broken, it would be a trouble for me." Zhou Zhongan felt a little sorry when he saw Jiang Jinyue was so easy to talk to.

Jiang Jinyue and Tai Jingwan both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhou Zhongan didn't pursue the matter.

However, before they could say anything more, they heard Pearl's voice not far away.

"My Lord, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come to Yingxue Pavilion?" Gu Huaizhi heard the little maid's words. Why did it sound so strange?

Besides, what is this girl doing outside this yard?

Why do I feel like I'm on guard against him?

Upon hearing this, Tai Jingwan looked at the two giant Buddhas in front of her with some shock.

If Gu Huaizhi saw two foreign men in his courtyard, he would not be able to explain it even if he had ten mouths.

Seeing that Zhou Zhongan had gotten what he wanted, Wei Xiuyuan pulled Zhou Zhongan over the corner and left.

Seeing the two people who didn't leave through the main gate, Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue both breathed a sigh of relief, then walked towards Gu Huaizhi and asked with a smile, "My Lord, why are you here?"
