After scanning the area, just as Jian Yixue was about to leave...
Suddenly I noticed something was off about the vase on the bookshelf.
Thinking of her previous experiences, Jian Yixue walked towards the bookshelf without hesitation.
Looking at the exquisite blue and white porcelain vase with its intricate design and craftsmanship, Jian Yixue carefully examined its entirety.
Soon, Jian Yixue noticed something was wrong.
She pressed her hand against the side of the vase, revealing a plain-looking flower.
The spot where Jian Yixue touched sank in.
Upon seeing this, Jian Yixue's eyes lit up.
I know I guessed right.
A moment later, something popped out from behind the vase.
Jane picked it up and discovered it was a piece of green jade.
Judging from its appearance, it is a piece of jade carved with the Shennong herb.
Judging from the material, it's not a very valuable item.
Therefore, Jian Yixue was even more puzzled.
If it really was just an ordinary piece of jade, why would my mother hide it so secretly?
If she hadn't had a similar experience before, she wouldn't have guessed that this ordinary vase would have such an ingenious design.
It's as if the bottle was designed specifically for this piece of jade.
This green jade must hold some secret she doesn't know.
Ye Mohan stepped forward and saw the jade in Jian Yixue's hand, feeling quite puzzled.
"What's this?"
Jian Yixue shook her head and looked at Ye Mohan, "I don't know."
Ye Mohan took it and looked at it, but couldn't see anything wrong with it.
"I will arrange for someone to investigate."
Jane nodded.
Seeing that there was nothing else in the room, Jian Yixue put the jade block into her spatial storage and left the room with Ye Mohan.
...
Outside the door, Dongfang Qingyan and Dongfang Yi were strolling in the courtyard.
This was their first time here since their aunt went missing, and the scenery here was absolutely stunning.
The jacaranda trees here existed before I even settled here, and this courtyard was built around the jacaranda trees.
Looking at the sea of purple flowers in the courtyard, Dongfang Qingyan exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "Auntie, the scenery here is so beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi looked at the flowers filling the courtyard and nodded in agreement.
My aunt is my grandparents' only youngest daughter, and she has been pampered since she was a child.
This courtyard was specially built by my grandfather for my aunt.
Looking at the scene before her, Dongfang Qingyan said, "When I get back, I'm going to plant a few jacaranda trees in my yard. They're so beautiful."
Dongfang Yi was already used to Dongfang Qingyan's words.
The whole day was filled with strange and wonderful ideas.
Dongfang Yi suddenly recalled the scene at the door earlier. Although he had heard a lot, he was still curious and asked.
"What happened between you and Dongfang Die just now?"
"What? What happened?" Dongfang Qingyan asked without thinking.
Suddenly, something occurred to him, "Brother, were you eavesdropping?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Dongfang Yi's face as he cleared his throat. "There was no need to eavesdrop; I just happened to overhear something."
Dongfang Qingyan gave a mischievous smile. "Really? Brother."
Her brother is usually very serious.
Having finally found an opportunity, she wanted to tease him.
Seeing that Dongfang Yi looked very uncomfortable, Dongfang Qingyan smiled and decided to get back to the main topic.
Thinking of Dongfang Die, whom she had met at the door earlier, she was also completely baffled.
"I came to Tinglan Pavilion to wait for you, but as soon as I arrived, I saw Dongfang Die sneaking around."
So I stopped her, and we had a verbal argument.
I don't know why she came, but my intuition tells me that she has ulterior motives.
It's definitely not as simple as she described, just looking at flowers.
Although the flowers here at her aunt's place are indeed very beautiful, she is aware that no one is allowed to come here anymore since her aunt disappeared.
What could possibly justify her disregarding her grandfather's orders just to see the flowers?
Dongfang Qingyan's words caused Dongfang Yi to fall into deep thought.
He shared the same suspicion, but unfortunately, he had no evidence at the moment.
That's why he didn't show up earlier.
Just as the two were pondering, the door to the room made a sound.
Both of them looked over and saw Jian Yixue and another person walking out one after the other.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Qingyan asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?" She then smiled and went over to take Jian Yixue's hand.
Before she could even touch anyone, Jian Yixue was already pulled away by Ye Mohan.
Dongfang Qingyan's face instantly darkened, and she complained in a low voice, "Stingy."
But he didn't go forward again.
Because it's legal.
Dongfang Yi's lips twitched as he watched the two of them act.
Thinking of the important matter at hand, he looked at Jian Yixue and asked, "So, did you find anything?"
Although he didn't know what his grandmother had said to Jian Yixue, he guessed that she was looking for clues related to his aunt.
Jian Yixue nodded. "Yes, I found it. I need to see the old man again."
Dongfang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard Jian Yixue address her grandfather.
Then, his expression returned to normal, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Clearly, Jane Yixue has not yet accepted their relationship.
But he couldn't say anything, after all, it was the incompetence of the Dongfang family.
It wasn't until Jane Yixue came looking for them that they discovered it.
Jane nodded.
She wanted to ask the old man if he knew anything about the jade.
Dongfang Yi looked at Dongfang Qingyan, "And you?"
"I'll head back now," Dongfang Qingyan replied, then looked at Jian Yixue. "Sister Yixue, I'll call you later."
She had originally planned to visit Jian Yixue and go out together.
Seeing that Jian Yixue still had to see her grandfather and had other things to do, she didn't want to disturb Jian Yixue from doing her business any further.
Jane smiled and nodded.
...
The pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Upon arriving at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Jian Yixue saw an old man feeding the fish inside.
Just as the group was about to go over, a servant suddenly ran over anxiously.
"Young Master, there's been another problem at the Licheng Auction House."
Dongfang Yi frowned. The auction was scheduled to start tomorrow, and this problem had arisen at this crucial moment, which gave Dongfang Yi a headache.
Seeing Dongfang Yi's expression, Jian Yixue knew that this matter might be a bit tricky.
"Go ahead and do what you need to do. Mo Han and I will go find the old man."
After listening, Dongfang Yi thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Okay. I'll come over as soon as I'm done."
“No need, we’ll just ask a few questions and then leave. You go ahead with your work,” Jian Yixue refused.
She just wanted to ask if the old man knew anything about the jadeite block.
Hearing this, Dongfang Yi nodded, "Alright then, let's have a meal together when I'm done with my work and have some free time."
Jian Yixue did not refuse Dongfang Yi's suggestion.
"Okay. Oh, by the way, when I get back I'll get some medicine for the old man and the old lady and have someone deliver it over. You can have someone pick it up at the front gate."
Knowing that the Dongfang family wouldn't allow outsiders to enter freely, Jian Yixue asked Dongfang Yi to make the arrangements.
