But what Shen Ze is more concerned about right now is how Lin Ran has the same jade pendant as his family.
As for Lin Ran's identity, there is nothing worth exploring. She is Shen Jinzhi's cousin.
Wait a moment.
Shen Jinzhi's family name is also Shen. Could it be that the jade pendant in Lin Ran's hand belongs to Shen Jinzhi's family?
Could it be that there is some connection between these two families?
Thinking of this, Shen Ze immediately said:
"I've said everything I can say. Now it's your turn to answer my questions."
To be honest, Lin Ran really didn't know how to explain this question.
Even if she told the truth that she was the granddaughter of the imperial merchant Shen family, Shen Ze probably wouldn't believe it.
Of course, it cannot be said that the current Shen family is the descendant of the imperial merchant Shen family, so this jade pendant was given to her by Shen Wenfang.
This doesn't make sense.
If Shen Ze asked other members of the Shen family, especially Old Man Shen, wouldn't the truth be revealed soon?
Therefore, Lin Ran made up an excuse at that moment.
"I came across a tomb by chance, and this jade pendant was found inside it.
What I told you is also correct.
It seems the tomb's owner's ancestors were imperial merchants."
Seeing Lin Ran talking nonsense seriously, Shi Yan curled his lips and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Others don’t know what’s going on, but doesn’t he know?
Although he and Lin Ran did pick up a Shen family jade pendant.
But it is definitely not the one in Lin Ran's hand.
Speaking of which, he was the first one to discover the jade pendant.
Although it is unclear where Lin Ran got this piece from, he even used it as an excuse to deceive Shen Ze.
But Shi Yan did not expose it.
But when Shen Ze heard this, he always felt something was wrong.
Could such a coincidence really happen?
Moreover, he always felt that Lin Ran looked at him with a strange look in her eyes, as if she was very excited.
She doesn't think that she can make others recognize her master with the jade pendant in her hand, right?
Thinking of this, Shen Ze immediately expressed his attitude.
"This is a new society, and there's no such thing as recognizing a master."
Having said that, Shen Ze paused for a moment, thinking of his grandfather's instructions to the whole family when he was young, and added shyly.
"If you need me in the future, please let me know and I will do my best to help.
But it cannot harm the world."
Lin Ran was stunned for a second after hearing this before she realized Shen Ze's worry and immediately chuckled.
"No, just treat me as your sister from now on.
Come on, we'll take you back."
Lin Ran wanted to visit Butler Shen's house.
Thinking that Steward Shen had been guarding here for thousands of years, her eyes became extremely sore.
In order to prevent Shen Ze from noticing anything unusual, she blinked hard to suppress the surging tears.
Although Shen Ze always felt that Lin Ran's attitude towards him was weird.
Besides, I am not a child and I don’t know the way home, so why do I need them to send me home?
But Shen Ze did not refuse Lin Ran's request.
Anyway, his family is penniless and has nothing, so he is not afraid of them coming.
When the three of them arrived at Chen Ze's house, Lin Ran could only tell from the outline that it was a three-courtyard house.
Now it has all been demolished and all the usable materials have been taken away.
Only one dilapidated house remained, without even a window.
The furnishings inside were also very simple, with only a wooden bed and a small table with a set of chipped bowls and chopsticks on it.
There's not even a stove.
Although Lin Ran had been mentally prepared before coming, when he saw the scene in front of him, his heart still pricked uncontrollably.
She suddenly felt that the punishment for Jia Yongchang was too light.
It was Jia Yongchang, the culprit, who caused Chen Ze to fall into such a situation!
And Shen Ze’s family!
