Liu Yu saw all of this and was overjoyed, continuing to secretly watch Chen Yu.
With one hand holding the jade pendant, Chen Yu pulled the red jade closer with the other.
“Hongyu can be with me now. Tomorrow, tomorrow we’ll go to the county government and give you your freedom.”
Hongyu nodded and shed tears, holding Chenyu's hand, crying and laughing at the same time. Out of gratitude, she wanted to kneel down, but Chenyu held her arms. At this moment, the auspicious cloud jade pendant fell to the ground.
Liu Yu picked up the auspicious cloud jade pendant. He had seen this kind of jade pendant before, which was cloudy and looked like a stone. It was on the waist of his mentor, Grand Tutor Zhang.
Grand Tutor Zhang, a first-rank official of the imperial court, actually wore a low-quality jade pendant? It is said that it was a token of love between Grand Tutor Zhang and his wife.
What is the connection between Chen Yu and Grand Tutor Zhang?
It should be noted that Grand Tutor Zhang has always ostracized military officers. Six years ago, he caused the death of Bai Yehua's father and also offended Master Mu, which is why Master Mu resigned from his post and stayed at home.
Master Mu looked at the jade pendant with a surprised expression. "Yu'er, where did this jade pendant come from? Father has never seen it before."
Chen Yu turned to look at Hong Yu.
The worry had vanished from Hongyu's face. Instead, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly. "Reporting to Master Mu, this is a jade pendant left by Hongyu's mother."
Liu Yu carefully examined Hongyu: she was petite, with a round, pearl-like face, and when she smiled, her eyes resembled crescent moons. She looked just like Grand Tutor Zhang.
Looking at the back of the jade pendant, the character "Qi" is engraved. Grand Tutor Zhang's real name was Zhang Ruiqi. He had married a woman in Jiangnan, and she was already pregnant before he went to the capital to take the imperial examination. After becoming an official, Grand Tutor Zhang returned to Jiangnan to look for his wife, but to no avail, so he married another woman.
Now, Grand Tutor Zhang is seriously ill and may not have much time left. We must take Hongyu to recognize him as soon as possible.
If Master Mu were to find out that Hongyu is the daughter of Grand Tutor Zhang, he would certainly not let the matter rest.
Master Mu took out a silver note and handed it to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu didn't take it. Instead, he lowered his eyes and turned around to approach Hongyu. With one hand holding the jade pendant and the other lifting Hongyu's clothes, he threw the jade pendant into the hole.
“Hongyu cannot be sold! I happen to need a maidservant.”
