A struggle flashed in Shen Ze's eyes when he heard this, but deep down he was too eager to know the origin of the jade pendant in Lin Ran's hand.
He even had a slight thought: is there anyone else alive in their Shen family besides himself? Does he have any relatives in this world?
With this idea in mind, Chen Ze stopped pretending to be stupid and told the story of his ancestral jade pendant.
It turned out that the jade pendant in Shen Ze's hand was handed down from the ancestors of the Shen family. According to the elders of the Shen family, this jade pendant has a history of a thousand years.
Thousands of years of history?
Lin Ran was stunned when he heard this.
Could it really be the jade pendant from her maternal grandfather's family?
But how could it be in Shen Ze's hands?
It was clear that there was no one left in the Shen family when she left.
My grandfather's jade pendant is also in my hand.
She had buried it with her grandfather the last time she buried his bones.
Or is it her mother's?
Just as Lin Ran was wondering if it was the jade pendant that Shen Ze's ancestor accidentally obtained from her mother's tomb, she heard Shen Ze's next words.
"I remember when I was little, my grandfather would often tell me stories about our ancestors, which were passed down from generation to generation. I don't know whether they are true or not, so you just listen to them.
I heard that our Shen family's ancestor was originally the steward of the imperial merchant Shen family, and even his surname was given by the master of the family at that time.
However, later on, something happened to the imperial merchant Shen family. But the ancestor, grateful for the Shen family's kindness, voluntarily returned to the Shen family's ancestral home to protect the Shen family.
It seems to be waiting for someone.
This guard will last a lifetime.
Not only that, he also ordered his descendants to stay here.
Waiting for the Shen family to arrive with a white jade pendant also engraved with the word "Shen."
At this point, Shen Ze paused.
He glanced at Lin Ran hesitantly, and the following words went around in his mouth for a few times, but he was unable to speak them.
My grandfather said that we must serve them as our Lord and do everything we can to help them.
This is the family motto left by their ancestors.
Now Lin Ran came with the jade pendant.
Could she be the person our ancestors were talking about?
Do you want to serve her as your master?
But what era is it now?
Lin Ran naturally had no idea about Chen Ze's thoughts, nor did she care. At this moment, her almond-shaped eyes were already filled with tears, and she stared at Chen Ze's face intently, with a hint of understanding.
No wonder…
No wonder she felt familiar with Shen Ze the first time she saw him.
No wonder Shen Ze’s surname is Shen.
No wonder Shen Ze has the Shen family's ancestral jade pendant.
It turns out that Shen Ze is actually the descendant of Butler Shen.
She actually forgot that in addition to the Shen family members, the Shen family's ancestral jade pendant also belonged to the Shen family.
At that time, my grandfather gave Butler Shen another piece of money in order to express his gratitude for his loyalty to him for decades.
Thinking of Butler Shen, the old man who loved him like a grandfather.
It was only a few months ago that they last parted, but it felt like thousands of years had passed.
When she dismissed the Shen family's servants, she also let Butler Shen leave.
But no one expected that Butler Shen would return to the Shen family's ancestral home, guard it for the Shen family, and set up such a family motto.
She knew that Butler Shen had established this family motto for her.
Apart from myself and my descendants, who else in the world can take out the Shen family jade pendant?
It turns out that Butler Shen has always been thinking about him.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran looked at Chen Ze with an extremely gentle gaze.
This is the descendant of Butler Shen.
But Chen Ze felt his scalp tingle at the sight of such loving eyes.
He is obviously about the same age as Lin Ran, so why does Lin Ran look at him like a grandson?
