Chapter 399 Returning the Property to Its Original Owner

Having said that, Xia Juanjuan chased Li Zhan out: "You go out for a while."

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing. What secret did his wife have? Was it only known to her and Shen Wanxue?

However, he still went out obediently. Rong Zhenbang also smiled and went out together.

Only then did Xia Juanjuan take Shen Wanxue to the bedroom next door.

When Shen Wanxue saw the three familiar large camphorwood boxes, she immediately understood what Xia Juanjuan meant.

The three large camphorwood boxes were all locked, just as they were when Shen Wanxue saw them a few years ago.

These three large camphorwood boxes were naturally the three things that Grandma Yao asked Xia Juanjuan to keep for Shen Wanxue.

Xia Juanjuan was not sure whether Rong Zhenbang and Li Zhan knew about the boxes. As the custodian, she naturally could not let Li Zhan know about this, so she sent them away.

Xia Juanjuan said softly: "Mom, these three boxes can finally be returned to their original owners."

Shen Wanxue nodded, looking at the box full of traces of time, remembering that this was also her dowry box. Unexpectedly, more than 30 years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Wanxue wiped her tears and said, "Juanjuan, call your father and Lizhan in."

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan guessed that she probably didn't intend to fight in secret, so she went out and called the two back.

Li Zhan couldn't help but lean over and ask in her ear: "What's so mysterious about you and mom?"

After entering the house, Li Zhan was stunned when he saw three octagonal camphorwood boxes covered with silver.

When he came here two days ago, these three boxes were not in the room!

However, he soon figured it out.

This must have been placed in the space by his wife.

Rong Zhenbang obviously knew about the existence of these three boxes, but he was still dumbfounded: "Wanxue, this...this box, why is it here?"

Shen Wanxue told Rong Zhenbang about how Grandma Yao entrusted the box to Xia Juanjuan before she died.

After hearing this, Rong Zhenbang nodded and said, "So that's how it is."

Shen Wanxue then walked over and used the key to open the three camphorwood boxes one by one.

Li Zhan initially thought that it might be their clothes or some valuable things, but when he really saw what was inside, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

There were three camphorwood boxes. One was filled with gold bars and small yellow croakers, another was filled with jade articles, gold ornaments, etc., and the third was filled with bronze articles, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.

Even if you take out just one item, it would be worth a fortune, let alone three full boxes of stuff?

Shen Wanxue looked at Li Zhan and said, "Zhan'er, Mommy won't hide it from you. The things in these boxes are all our family's belongings. When your dad and I saw that things were not going well, we packed the more valuable things in the house into these three large boxes and gave them to my former nanny, Grandma Yao, to keep. Grandma Yao's home is near Qingshui Village, and later when I went to the countryside, I also went there. This can be considered as fate."

Shen Wanxue continued, "All these things will be left to you in the future. There is only one thing. If you are out of money at home, you can exchange these gold bars and small yellow croakers for money. But these utensils, calligraphy and paintings cannot be sold. These are all priceless treasures left by our ancestors..."

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said with a smile: "Mom, what are you talking about? We have money. These things are all left by your and dad's ancestors. You are still keeping them. If we are short of money, we will ask you for them."

Xia Juanjuan also smiled and said, "Yes, Mom. We have enough money now. In addition to the allowance from Lizhan and the subsidy from my school, I am also running a small business now, so the money is definitely enough."

Shen Wanxue was stunned for a moment. She really wanted to give these things to her son.

Seeing this, Rong Zhenbang smiled and said, "Wanxue, Lizhan and the others are unwilling to accept it, so we should keep it first and give it to them later, it will be the same."

After hearing this, Shen Wanxue gave up and locked the box.

Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan came out of the compartment to let them have a rest.

After they came out, Li Zhan smiled and glanced at Xia Juanjuan, teasing, "Does this mean you have confessed everything and are not hiding anything from me?"

Xia Juanjuan felt guilty for a moment, then said confidently: "You must be loyal to the person who entrusted you with the task. Even if Mom is your biological mother, the things belong to them. How can I tell you that it is appropriate to give them away without their consent? What if you are a money-grubber and even sacrifice your parents for money..."

Li Zhan approached her and said unhappily, "Am I a money-loving person?"

Xia Juanjuan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I... I was just making an analogy, wasn't I? Now that you know that you are a young master, and a rich young master, what do you think?"

Li Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "You're assigning me this task? Just wait and see how I deal with you tonight..."

At night, Li Zhan made full use of his privilege as the eldest master and made Xia Juanjuan "serve" him like a little girl, making Xia Juanjuan unable to even utter a complete sentence...

Early the next morning, Li Zhan personally stewed snow pear with rock sugar and diligently gave two bowls each to Xia Shuangshan, Li Yuru, Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang, and then brought a bowl to Xia Juanjuan.

Xiaowen served the rest to his younger brothers and sisters.

Xia Juanjuan felt like her whole body was falling apart. She glared at Lizhan hatefully, and then she ate some candied snow pear to moisten her hoarse throat.

As she drank, she said, "By the way, I was thinking that we should find someone to help out, just like my dad's family. There are so many people in the family now, and my mom and your mom are not young anymore. We may have to look after a store in the future, and the chef will come over soon. It would be better to find someone young, strong and efficient to help with the housework and cooking."
