Du Zhen glanced at Lin Zao with a strange look in her eyes.
"I can tell you where the treasure map is, but I'll only tell you after I meet my nephew and niece."
"As for what your uncle's intentions are? It's because you have the key to the treasure map."
"What?" Lin Zao was surprised and quickly denied it.
“How is that possible? My dad would never give me the key.”
In her memory, the father and daughter barely exchanged a few words, and her father never gave her any keys.
Besides, that's the key to the treasure map. How could her father possibly give her something so valuable, unless he's crazy?
Du Zhen: "After the young master obtained the treasure map, he hid and locked the treasure, and even took the key back to the Lin residence. The young master said that the most dangerous place is the safest place."
So when Master Lin gave the key to Lin Zao, no one believed he would give her something so important, and that he could hide the key well.
Lin Zao carefully recalled what the Second Master Lin had given her back then.
It took me a long time to dredge up a memory from the depths of my mind.
It seems that the last time he returned to the Lin family, he brought back many valuable gifts for the children of his eldest uncle and third uncle's family.
Only she, as if pitying her, casually tossed her a very cheap jade pendant.
Lin Zao didn't take it seriously at the time and casually threw the things away when he returned to the jujube orchard.
As for where it was thrown away?
She thought about it carefully and realized that she might have buried it under a jujube tree she had planted.
Yes, she was planting jujube trees at the time. How could a jujube orchard be without jujube trees?
She had barely dug the hole and hadn't even planted the seed when a servant called her out to distribute gifts. Her father casually tossed her a jade pendant.
After returning to the jujube orchard, she casually threw it into the hole and then planted the jujube tree on top of it.
Could that jade pendant be the key to storing the treasure map?
Seeing Lin Zao's sudden realization, Du Zhen knew that she had remembered the key.
"Is the key a jade pendant?" Lin Zao asked Du Zhen uncertainly.
"yes!"
Hearing Du Zhen's definite answer, Lin Zao felt as if she were in a dream.
Her dad's actions were really bizarre...
Lin Zao then remembered something else, "How did my uncle know I had the key?"
Du Zhen: "Back then, the young master was worried that you were too young and would lose the key, so he sent a servant to keep an eye on you. That person only knew that you took the key back to the jujube garden, and he didn't know anything else."
So Uncle Lin later learned from that servant that the key was in her possession.
She guessed that Uncle Lin hadn't found the key in the jujube orchard, which is why he assumed the key was in her possession.
Lin Zao was speechless. Her parents were really giving her a hard time!
The matter had been clarified. Lin Zao glanced at Tang Jian, who had remained silent beside her, and the two instantly reached an agreement.
Lin Zao: "Thank you, Aunt Du, for clearing up my doubts. When would you like to visit your nephew and niece?"
Du Zhen was clearly not expecting Lin Zao to let her see them so soon, and was somewhat unprepared.
She hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Master Lin on the bed.
Turning back to Lin Zao, he gritted his teeth and said, "Can I go now? You can bring me back after you're done!"
She was still very reluctant to part with her young master. She had given so much to him, and it wasn't something she could easily give up.
She wanted to check on her nephews and nieces to see if they were doing well. If they were, she could feel at ease letting them stay with Lin Zao, and she believed that Lin Zao would treat them well in the future.
As for her, perhaps after this incident, she will spend the rest of her life with her young master...
