Shen Qingli was awakened by something hitting her. She closed her eyes and reached out her hand to feel around on the bed.
Meng Xiao wasn't around, so she felt something on her neck...
She opened her eyes sleepily and lowered her gaze:
"Where did the necklace come from?" she asked herself.
She walked to the mirror on the dressing table in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and saw from the mirror that she was indeed wearing a necklace around her neck. To be precise, it was a string of bright green jade beads.
Generous and elegant, the beads seem to contain spiritual energy, just like the top-quality red jade bracelet given to her by her grandmother, which is full of nobility and can stun people at first sight.
The top-grade jade bead necklace is made of exquisite materials and is rare. This one is round and full, with a transparent and delicate texture, full of vitality, and the rich sunny green color is full of vibrant vitality.
Shen Qingli's hand gently stroked it. There was no need to guess, it must have been Meng Xiao who secretly put it on her while she was sleeping.
The door opened with a creak and Meng Xiao walked in.
He hugged her from behind and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it. Where did it come from?"
Shen Qingli didn't think he bought it. All his belongings were with her. How could he have the spare money to buy such a rare thing? This jadeite must be at least top-grade jadeite.
"The old man of the Liu family had it sent here. Although my grandfather had been at odds with him all his life, Old Man Liu was also a loyal and brave general. At most, they had political differences and disliked each other, so they used some minor obstacles to hinder each other.
Liu Su had already fallen, but my grandfather still couldn't bear to use the spiritual spring water to help him. He thought that at least he could let Old Man Liu have some food and not die in such pain. But he didn't expect that he would survive.
He's getting better now and can eat some food, which they sent him. Although Grandpa helped him, he still didn't like him and didn't want to take it. They refused to take it and just left it there and ran away.
The Liu family is a family of scholars, and their ancestors have been counselors and powerful officials for generations, so it is normal for them to have some valuable things hidden away."
Meng Xiao didn't care too much.
Shen Qingli spoke carefully:
"Will it be bad?"
"It's okay. Although Mr. Liu is confused, he is much more upright than Liu Su. The Liu family has fallen, and Mr. Liu's behavior is a sign of surrender.
This bead necklace is a top-notch item. It may not be worth much now, but it was at least priceless in the past. I told my grandfather that I wanted to give it to you, and he let me take it without saying a word.
Shen Qingli didn't expect that such a beautiful necklace was sent by the Liu family. She reached out and took it off and put it into the space.
Meng Xiao wondered why she didn't bring it. She said unhappily:
"Is this something I can wear out in public these days? Besides, it doesn't go with the clothes I'm wearing now. What if I poke the kids while I'm holding them? It just woke me up. I'm putting this away and saving it for other outfits."
After hearing this, Meng Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, that makes sense. I've given her the thing anyway, so it's up to her. It's okay if she throws it away."

Liu family
Old Mr. Liu had just been helped around the yard twice when he looked up and saw his grandson standing under the eaves.
"Xiaowei, what do you want to eat for lunch? Ask the servant to make it. Come and walk around with grandpa." Old Master Liu waved his hand for Liu Wei to come over.
Liu Wei hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to the old man and said carefully:
"Grandpa, I heard that you sent something to the Meng family."
The smile on Mr. Liu's old face faded slightly, and he turned around and looked at the sky for a long time.
"Xiaowei, do you know? Your grandfather and I have been fighting for so many years. After a serious illness, I finally realized what we were fighting for. We are all fighting for this country and its people. We are both full of ambition and passion.
I don’t know why we have been fighting for a lifetime. Maybe we are just born to be incompatible.
It was my fault that I didn't teach your father well, which led to his current situation. I hope you can also let go of your prejudice against the Meng family.
Xiaowei, just be a good soldier and do your job well. The Meng family will not provoke you, so don't provoke them.
The Meng family already had Meng Xiao, a man who could not be underestimated, and now his wife was also a major contributor to the Meng family's prosperity.
In the past, we were evenly matched. Generation after generation, the Meng family is no longer the same as it used to be. Let's live our own lives and stop fighting with the Meng family. Do you understand?
"I understand, Grandpa."
Liu Wei didn't quite understand, but he always listened to his family.
He knew from a young age that his family and the Meng family were not getting along, but he didn't know why. His father and grandfather didn't say anything, and his father always asked him to do things behind his grandfather's back.
He didn't understand, he just obeyed. His father was imprisoned, and he suddenly lost his direction. Should he continue to target and hate the Meng family? But why?
His grandfather's words made him fall into deep thought again.

On the third day before Meng Xiao's vacation was about to end, an urgent mission suddenly required him to return to the team.
Because of the previous experience, Shen Qingli's heart was hanging in the air again, and he couldn't help but feel extremely worried. It was another secret mission.
Watching the car drive away, she prayed that his future missions would go smoothly and safely, and that he would always be able to turn danger into safety.
This time, Shen Qingli still prepared spiritual spring liquid for him and asked him to bring it with him every time he went on a mission, but he hoped that he would never need to use it.
After all, once it is used, it means that he is injured again, right?
Ye Qiu was afraid that she would be sad, so he used the excuse of going to the bathroom to hand the child to Shen Qingli and asked her to hold him, thinking that the child could divert her attention.
Indeed, holding Li An in my arms and looking at his innocent little face, I felt a little better.
"Sister-in-law, Qingli."
Shen Qingli felt that it was a bit windy in the evening. Just as she was about to carry the child into the house, she heard someone calling her from afar. It was Meng Ning's voice.
When Meng Ning arrived on her bicycle, she spoke, "Sister."
"Why are you standing at the door? Don't get caught in the cold. Come on, go in. I'll wash my hands and hug the child."
Meng Ning stretched his head to take a look and loved it so much. The little guy had grown up and was much prettier than when he was just born. Look at this delicate, white and chubby little guy. Who wouldn't like him?
She washed her hands before taking Little Li An:
"This is the eldest, right? He looks like a boy. Where's the little niece?"
Shen Qingli smiled and said, "Yes, this is the eldest. Sister, you don't know their names yet, right? He's Meng Lian'an. The second oldest is Xihe, Meng Xihe. He's still sleeping right now."
