Chapter 133 Yaoyao recognizes her relatives (2)
Xu Shuyao felt sad when she heard Shen Shaoyu call out "Taotao".
At this moment, it seemed as if the person in the dream overlapped with the person in front of me.
All the anxiety has found its source.
She unconsciously rummaged into her bosom, and after a few breaths, a bluish-white jade pendant carved into the shape of a sheep appeared in her palm.
Then, she whispered, "I...this is all I have."
The person at the door took a few steps forward, but when he took the jade pendant, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Shen Shaoyu still remembers that Taotao didn't like to wear these things when she was a child, because the nanny always told the little girl to walk slowly and steadily. Later, when she ran around, she would take off the jade pendant in advance and put it in her clothes.
My sister's sheep-shaped jade pendant and my rabbit-shaped jade pendant are made from the same piece of jade.
Thinking of this, he pointed to the jade pendant on his belt and showed it to Xu Shuyao: "Look! Aren't ours similar?"
Xu Shuyao saw tears in his eyes but a smile on his face, and her heart ached again.
Her original intention of finding her family was to get rid of Xiao Mo and let her younger brother have a reliable family.
But at this moment, looking at the excited man in front of her, Xu Shuyao suddenly had some real feelings about her blood relatives.
"Almost." She smiled.
Shen Shaoyu murmured: "I felt familiar with you the first time I saw you, and you... you saved me..."
Everything seems to be arranged by God.
The brother and sister were talking when they suddenly heard footsteps at the door.
Xu Shuyao looked up and saw Madam Ruan coming in from outside, and behind her stood Concubine Shen who came to celebrate her birthday.
Her father, who had just brought her in, was now looking at her and Shen Shaoyu with emotion.
Ruan took a few steps forward and said, "Husband? Is she really our daughter?"
Shen Jingshu stood far away, thinking of her mother Jiang's words that night, with unconcealable embarrassment and fear in her eyes.
This cousin who was staying at the Duke's Mansion was actually the sister that Shen Shaoyu had been searching for?
Is she the genuine legitimate daughter of the Shen family?
How is this possible?
Then isn’t the other party Xiao Mo’s legitimate fiancée?
Shen Jingshu felt that fate was really ridiculous!
This woman was treated differently by the prince when she was nothing. If her status as the legitimate daughter of the Shen family is confirmed, then she and Xiao Mo... wouldn't they be a perfect match?
But Shen Jingshu could only watch all this happen and was unable to stop it.
"Yes, yes, it's Taotao!" Chen Xinian had just witnessed the brother and sister recognizing each other, but he was a dignified father after all, so he could at least keep his composure.
But when faced with Ruan's question, he couldn't help but say yes twice excitedly.
Ruan had never expected that the young lady in the Duke's Mansion that day was actually her daughter.
How blind she was, looking at her own daughter from head to toe with such critical eyes, yet she didn't notice it at all.
"Where is the jade pendant? Let me see it!" She stretched out her hand towards the eldest son in the room.
Shen Shaoyu handed the jade pendant to his mother.
He just looked up and saw Shen Jingshu standing outside the house, but sneered twice and said: "You saw it too? Very good! It saves us from notifying you. I, Shen Shaoyu, have always had only one sister. She used to be in my heart, and now she is in front of me. Put away your vicious heart. If you dare to touch her, don't blame me for revealing your identity and face as a talented woman of the Shen family in front of everyone in Shangjing."
Shen Jingshu opened her mouth and wanted to say a few words, but then she saw her second uncle Shen Xinian looking at her.
Although he didn't say anything, Shen Jingshu saw a biting chill in the eyes of this fourth-rank civil servant.
Did he know what happened in the temple that day? But he kept it secret.
Up to now, the second branch of the Shen family has obviously become a useless child in her hands, which Shen Jingshu did not expect.
Perhaps, the Second Prince's Mansion, which she always wanted to leave, was the safest place at the moment.
Aren’t there still grandfather and people from the third and fourth rooms?
Even if she is not the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Shen family, her surname is still Shen, which is an undeniable fact.
As long as the second prince can get that position, why should she worry about these people not supporting her?
After thinking clearly about the whole process, she calmed down.
Ruan was stroking the sheep-shaped jade pendant in her hand. She had someone make this jade pendant for her son and daughter.
She looked at the graceful young lady in front of her again, and for a moment she couldn't help but wipe away her tears with her sleeve, saying softly, "Child! You have suffered!"
Xu Shuyao let her hold her hand, feeling a little confused and a little fresh.
This woman was her mother, but they were strangers to each other.
The first time Xu Shuyao met Ruan was in the old lady's Songhe Hall. At that time, she became the target of public criticism because of a word from Xiao Mo.
At that time, Mrs. Ruan looked dignified and elegant, but the eyes that fell on her were full of criticism and unkindness.
They were strangers to each other, and Xu Shuyao didn't blame her.
When they were saying goodbye in the corridor that day, she saw Ruan Shi lowering her head and trying to please the Duke's wife for Shen Jingshu, which reminded her of Xiao Chen Shi from Huzhou.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ruan said, "Your name is Yaoyao! Tell mother how you got to Huzhou. After you disappeared, we searched for you for a long time. The last clue was that the trafficker went north, but the Chen family searched all the way north and found no trace of you. Then the clues were cut off."
Xu Shuyao then recounted what Xu's father had said.
He also talked about how he vaguely remembered his name was Taotao, and that the scene of the Lantern Festival kept appearing in his dreams.
Shen Xinian and Shen Shaoyu listened to the whole thing, with emotion on their faces.
Later, someone came to call him, so Shen Shaoyu asked his mother to go and entertain the guests first, and he stayed here to accompany Taotao.
Perhaps because she had known Shen Shaoyu for a long time, Xu Shuyao seemed much more relaxed in front of him.
But the gap from the eldest son of the Shen family to the elder brother is a bit big.
After Chen Xinian left, Xu Shuyao asked a little embarrassedly, "The sister you were talking about after waking up in Qingning Temple that day was me, right?"
She now understood that her brother and Shen Jingshu were enemies, and it was impossible for him to have such a tone and expression when thinking of her.
Shen Shaoyu then told her about his long-held guilt, "If it's not you, then who else could it be? I, Shen Shaoyu, only have you as my sister in this life. Now that I see you're fine, I feel relieved."
After saying that, he looked at her and said, "I'll ask my mother to help you clean up the yard later. From today on, this will be your home."
Xu Shuyao was a little confused for a moment. Was he just not going back to the Duke's Mansion?
She said anxiously, "But I haven't said goodbye to Old Madam Xiao and my aunt yet!" Xu Shuyao had stayed in Duke Cheng's Mansion for so long and had the deepest feelings for the old lady.
As for her aunt Chen, out of her own selfishness, she did not confess to her that she was not Chen's biological daughter.
I don’t know what she will think when she finds out.
Seeing his sister frown, Shen Shaoyu said, "Don't worry! Our two families are close, and there will be many opportunities to meet in the future! You came with the Duke's wife, right? If she knows, she will probably pass the news back."
Ruan was suddenly called away, and the ladies in the banquet hall were also thinking about it secretly.
As for the young ladies, except Lu Xuanling and Xiao Jintong, no one knew about it.
