Chapter 98 Dug out from the Grave



He walked towards the backyard, but after taking two steps, he stopped and looked at Su Zhiyao and said, "You don't have to go with me. You can't be involved in this matter!"

"But brother, mother is a little biased now. She is afraid that if you go alone, you will have resentment with mother." Su Zhiyao advised.

"I know my limits!"

Su Jingnian said this and left in a hurry.

Su Zhiyao looked at Su Jingnian's departing back, a sneer appearing at the corner of her lips.

Su Jinyue, do you think you can turn the world upside down in the Marquis' Mansion just by hooking up with Jiang Ling'er?

In the end, the people in this marquis' mansion will only recognize her as the eldest lady!

Thinking of Su Jinyue, Su Zhiyao's eyes became sinister.

These days, she always felt that her mother was like a different person. She would not listen to anything she said and only believed Su Jinyue.

If Su Jinyue is not eliminated as soon as possible, her position will become unstable sooner or later!

And she can’t wait!

Jiang Ling'er pulled Su Jinyue into the carriage and looked at Su Jinyue with a distressed look, "Did you live like this in the Marquis' Mansion before?"

"I'm used to it, cousin." Su Jinyue smiled, "It's nothing."

The carriage moved slowly, and the cries of vendors on both sides of the street could be heard one after another.

Jiang Linger said softly, "Jin Yue, grandma and grandpa are both reasonable people. They will definitely feel sorry for the hardship you have endured. When you go back this time, you must let them know about your recent situation in the Marquis' Mansion."

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "With my cousin here, I feel much more at ease. But there is really no need to talk about these things and make grandparents worry about me."

The carriage gradually stopped.

At this time, the curtain was gently lifted, and a little head poked in. It was a child selling flowers. The childish voice asked: "Sisters, buy some flowers. Fresh jasmine flowers are very fragrant!"

Jiang Linger smiled slightly, waved him to come closer, and asked, "How much are the flowers?"

"A big bunch costs only ten cents. Look, sister, how juicy it is!" The little boy proudly showed off the jasmine in his hand.

Jiang Ling'er turned to look at Su Jinyue and said with a smile: "Jinyue, do you like it? I'll buy it for you."

These children are all out here to make a living, and their lives are not easy.

Su Jinyue said: "Let me do it."

Jiang Linger gently pressed Su Jinyue's hand and said, "I said I'll come, and that means I'll come."

The child happily took the copper coin, handed over the bouquet of flowers, and got off the carriage.

The two got off the carriage, and Su Jinyue said, "Let's go to the Broken Art Pavilion in the capital to pick some. I remember that my grandparents like antiques very much, maybe we can pick out some good ones to give to them."

"Yeah." Jiang Ling'er responded, and the two of them went towards the Suipin Pavilion.

Suipin Pavilion is a time-honored brand in Beijing, and the furnishings inside the store are exquisite and elegant.

Inside the shop, there are all kinds of neatly arranged items, which are dazzling and pleasing to the eye.

Su Jinyue picked up a folding fan casually and looked at it carefully for a few seconds. Although the folding fan was an ordinary bamboo folding fan, it exuded a strong scholarly flavor and it was obvious at a glance that it was of great value.

Su Jinyue put it down again and continued to look at his things.

As soon as the waiter saw the two people, he knew they were important people, and followed them with a smile, not showing any impatience at all.

Suddenly, Su Jinyue's steps slowed down slightly.

Jiang Linger followed Su Jinyue's gaze and found that it was a jade Guanyin.

The Jade Guanyin has a neat shape and looks lifelike, with a lavender mist surrounding it.

"Miss, are you interested in this jade Guanyin?" The waiter immediately came forward and asked.

"You have good taste, girl!" the waiter praised.

"This jade Guanyin Buddha is at least three hundred years old. Not only is it lifelike, but the jade quality is still very good. It only costs one thousand taels of silver!"

Jiang Linger touched the Jade Guanyin and nodded at Su Jinyue, "It's a good thing."

Su Jinyue was silent for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by a voice beside her, "I want this Jade Guanyin!"

Xie Qingxu took out a silver note of one thousand taels, raised his hand and waved it, "Wrap it up for me."

The waiter's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and bowed, took the banknote, and asked someone to pack the Jade Guanyin.

Xie Qingxu came in front of Su Jinyue and said with a smile: "If you want, I can give it to you."

"Then let's not do that." Su Jinyue said, "I'm not interested in anything dug out from a grave."

Xie Qingxu originally thought that he had defeated Su Jinyue once, but his face froze when he heard her words.

"What did you say?!"

Su Jinyue didn't even bother to look at him, "I mean, if you like the things dug out from the grave, you can keep them for yourself."

This sentence completely angered Xie Qingxu. He squeezed out a sneer from his nose, "You said this because I stole your things, right?"

"Don't think I'll be fooled by you and not want this Jade Guanyin!"

Su Jinyue looked at him and said, "It's too late now. Anything sold in Suipin Pavilion cannot be returned."

Jiang Linger asked curiously, "Jin Yue, how do you know that Guanyin was dug out from a tomb?"

Su Jinyue smiled faintly and said nothing.

She recognized this Jade Guanyin. It was dug out from the tomb of the late Prince Yong and was not something from three hundred years ago.

In the previous life, this Jade Guanyin was bought by Su Jingnian in order for Su Zhiyao to please her brother-in-law Xie Qingxu.

However, later on, news of the theft of Prince Yong's tomb came out, and Xie Qingxu had already established a firm foothold in the Ministry of Justice by stepping on her.

He immediately recognized that the Jade Guanyin was the burial object in Prince Yong's tomb. He returned the Jade Guanyin to the court, and the emperor rewarded him.

Without her and Su Jingnian this time, I wonder if Xie Qingxu will still have good luck.

At that time, the waiter had already brought the Jade Guanyin and presented it to Xie Qingxu.

"Your Jade Guanyin is ready. Would you like me to send it to your house?"

The waiter asked respectfully.

Xie Qingxu looked at the Jade Guanyin in front of him, with a hint of disgust between his brows, "No need! Just give it to me!"

He took his things and left. Jiang Linger then asked, "Who is he and why is he so rude to you?"

"He is General Xie, the one whose engagement I broke off."

Jiang Linger immediately said after hearing this: "Then you are right! We should have been disgusted with him just now!"

The waiter came back with a smile and said, "My two young ladies, do you have anything else to choose? We still have a lot of good things here."

Su Jinyue shook her head and said, "I'll come back and take a look later."

Jiang Linger said: "Then let's go."

As the two passed the door, Su Jinyue's eyes fell on the porcelain exposed on the side of the counter.

"Cousin, wait a minute!"

Jiang Linger turned around in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Su Jinyue pointed at the porcelain on the counter and said to the waiter, "Help me take this porcelain out."

The waiter moved quickly and took the items out quickly.

The porcelain was about a palm long and wide, and about half a foot high. The glaze was white-gray, and there were mountains and rivers painted on the surface. The patterns were simple and clear, and the lines were rounded and soft. It was obviously the work of a famous artist.

"Miss, are you interested in this porcelain?" The waiter said, "Although this porcelain is not as good as the jade Guanyin just now, it must have been fired in a high-quality kiln."

Su Jinyue looked at Jiang Ling'er, "What do you think, cousin? Will grandparents like it?"
