Bai Yueniang was sweating profusely with anxiety, and her hand trembled slightly as she grasped Mo Qingcheng's.
A pang of heartache flashed in Mo Qingcheng's eyes, but it did not escape Old Man Bai's gaze.
Old Man Bai's heart skipped a beat: "Yue'er, I just remembered there's something I need you to do..."
"Father, do you think I'm stupid?" Bai Yueniang's face was pale, and she turned around weakly to look at her father.
Old Man Bai's breath hitched: "But, Yue'er..."
"Father, Yue'er, please sit down and listen to me..." Mo Qingcheng gestured for the two to sit down, then gave Mo San a wink. Mo San obediently stood guard at the door, like a gatekeeper, preventing anyone from barging in.
"Father, Yue'er, take a look at this jade pendant..." As she spoke, Mo Qingcheng handed a jade pendant to Old Man Bai.
Bai Yueniang suppressed the urge to snatch it, her eyes widening: "This, isn't this Brother Bai's jade pendant? His natal jade pendant?"
Suddenly remembering something, Bai Yueniang's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
With lightning speed, Hei grabbed Bai Yueniang by the collar and forced her into a chair.
Bai Yueniang's eyes were filled with tears: "Sister Mo, you must find a way to rescue Brother Bai... Please..."
Mo Qingcheng nodded: "Yue'er, go and check the jade pendant."
Bai Yueniang was a little confused. How could the jade pendant be fake?
wrong!
Old Man Bai frowned slightly: "Yue'er, this jade pendant looks very similar, but there's something strange about it. I can't be sure if it's Fan'er's..."
“Father, you mean…” Bai Yueniang’s heart sank to the bottom, “Let me see.”
Bai Yueniang sniffed, shook her head violently, and suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in her mind, carefully examining the jade pendant in her hand.
After a long silence, Bai Yueniang spoke to confirm, "Father, Sister Mo, it is Brother Bai's jade pendant, but... for some reason, the jade pendant has a special aura, not the one on Brother Bai's body..."
"Yes!" Mo Qingcheng nodded. "That's good!"
Bai Yueniang, along with Old Man Bai and Hei Yi: "..."
No, what do you mean?
Bai Yi frowned slightly: "Madam, it must have been someone we know who committed the crime."
"Hmm..." Mo Qingcheng nodded again. Of course, otherwise who could have taken away Bai Yifan's natal jade pendant?
"Madam...cough cough...could it be that someone is disguised and impersonating the Second Madam?"
"Nonsense... What did you say?" Bai Yueniang grabbed Hei Yi's sleeve, eager to confirm what he had just said.
Hei Yi was dumbfounded and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Seeing Bai Yueniang crying anxiously, he repeated it. Feeling a little uneasy, he just made up a story on the spot. Could it really be a self-fulfilling prophecy?
Mo Qingcheng nodded: "Ninety percent..."
Bai Yueniang and Bai Laodie both looked at Mo Qingcheng, wondering what to do.
Mo Qingcheng remained silent. Just as Bai Yueniang was about to give up, she slowly spoke: "Yue'er, this matter is a bit complicated. If we want to rescue Bai Yifan, neither you nor your father can show your face."
"no!"
"no!"
Bai Yueniang and Bai Laodie spoke up in unison, expressing their opposition. How could this be allowed? How could they let Sister Mo (Qingqing) take such a risk?
Mo Qingcheng's expression was serious: "This matter is settled then. I understand Yue'er and Father's feelings, but this matter is not solely about the Bai and Mo families..."
Bai Yueniang lowered her eyes, her heart filled with unbearable sorrow.
Old Man Bai hesitated, seemingly lost in thought. Could it be that things weren't as simple as Qingqing had described? Had they only seen what was visible on the surface?
Why……
Two oversized burdens...
"Moon, this matter is entirely up to Qingqing to decide..."
