Chapter 143 News about the Blood Jade

Mo Yunzhu twitched her lips and said, "I guessed it. You said you wanted to find something for the Zhao family to do, so you took action last night. Are you feeling well?"

"Cough cough cough, I'm fine." While speaking, Prince Lan looked at Zhuo Yu who was standing there with a cold look on his face.

"Prince Lan, are you really not going to tell me who that female thief is?" There was a murderous aura floating around Zhuo Yu.

In fact, Mo Yunzhu was also very conflicted on the way here. She was wondering whether she should tell him that she was a female thief and how much Zhuo Yu could bear.

If he couldn't stand the provocation and was burning with rage, would he start a fight? Would he and Prince Lan have to kill him directly in Prince Lan's mansion?

"Master Zhuo, I cannot tell you who the female thief is because I promised her not to tell anyone, but I can tell you another thing." Jun Huolan said slowly.

Zhuo Yu was stunned and said, "Another thing? It seems that the thing I want to know most is the female thief. Lord Wang and Miss Mo should know how much I hate the female thief. In order to catch her, I have to stay in Qingyun for the New Year this year."

Mo Yunzhu coughed and said, "Actually, I also heard about what happened between the female thief and you, but it wasn't the female thief's fault in the beginning."

"What?" Zhuo Yu raised his eyebrows immediately.

"Ahem, it's nothing. I just don't think you two are at the point of a fight to the death. What did that female thief steal from you?"

Mo Yunzhu thought that she had already returned the blood jade to him, and also returned one of the ice gourds to him, so did he still want to fight to the death?

"No matter what she stole, I have never suffered such humiliation since I was a child. I must catch that female thief." Zhuo Yu said gritting his teeth.

A pair of cold eyes looked back and forth between Jun Huolan and Mo Yunzhu.

"Miss Mo also knows who the female thief is?" Zhuo Yu said coldly.

"Ahem, I do know that she is one of ours, but Mr. Zhuo, think about it carefully. The female thief is not a bad person."

“If she is Prince Lan’s man, judging by what Prince Lan did last night, she is indeed not a bad person. But so what? She should never play tricks on me like that.” Zhuo Yu just couldn’t swallow this.

"Master Zhuo, were you right from the beginning?" Jun Huolan asked coldly.

Zhuo Yu was stunned and asked casually: "What do you mean, Lord?"

"I know everything that happened that night. The female thief is from Qingyun. What she wanted to steal was actually the military weapons deployment map that you got from Mo Huaiqing, the second daughter of the Mo family. But in order to stop you from having any doubts, she stole your other things. Later, she returned them to you, didn't she? You should value the blood jade the most, right?"

"You know?" Zhuo Yu narrowed his eyes.

"I just said that I can tell you another thing about your blood jade. I wonder if you want to know?" Jun Huolan said slowly.

Zhuo Yu's face changed drastically and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"You, you know my blood jade?"

Mo Yunzhu was shocked. She told Jun Huolan that she had stolen a blood jade from Zhuo Yu and even described it to him. There was a dragon on it, but Jun Huolan just listened and didn't say anything about the blood jade.

But thinking back now, Jun Huolan's expression was indeed a little heavy when she heard it, but she didn't think much about it at the time.

It seemed that at that time, the two of them had not yet reached a level of mutual trust, so Jun Huolan did not say that he knew about the blood jade.

But she didn't believe King Lan at that time, so she didn't tell him that she was wearing a blood fox jade pendant with a similar design around her neck.

Jun Huolan glanced at Mo Yunzhu, seeming to feel guilty for not saying anything at that time, but he really didn't dare to say much at that time.

"I do know something." Jun Huolan nodded. "You can choose one of the two. Do you want to know about the female thief or the blood jade? But after you choose one, I will not tell you the other one."

Zhuo Yu sat down on the chair, Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows and sat down beside him, looking at Jun Huolan.

Jun Huolan also looked at her, then said with a hint of embarrassment: "I didn't say it at the time, and later I forgot about it."

"I know." Mo Yunzhu guessed the same.

Since the two of them have secretly worked together on so many things, Jun Huolan would not lie to her about such a small matter. After all, Jun Huolan didn't know that the blood jade was related to her.

She looked at Zhuo Yu, who clenched his fists and looked like he was struggling.

"The blood jade is oval in shape, with a dragon carved on it. The carving is very delicate." Jun Huolan said slowly, and then sighed, "Master Zhuo, does this blood jade have anything to do with your life experience?"

Zhuo Yu raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of shock, then he seemed to calm down and said: "Actually I don't know either, I only know that I have had it since I was a child. I am an orphan, adopted by my adoptive father. This blood jade should be left by my parents."

"After all these years, don't you have any news at all?" Mo Yunzhu's words made Zhuo Yu realize that his life experience was much more important than the female thief.

In fact, Mo Yunzhu was also very nervous. She also wanted to know where the blood jade came from.

Zhuo Yu finally looked at Jun Huolan, and then said with full breath: "I choose blood jade."

Jun Huolan curled his lips and said, "I hope Master Zhuo will not embarrass the female thief anymore. She is not a bad person. On the contrary, she is kinder than anyone else."

Zhuo Yu's mouth twitched as he said, "Prince Lan, please don't ask too much of me. Whether I can find the female thief in the future is up to me. But since the prince told me about the blood jade today, I will not kill her."

Mo Yunzhu almost rolled her eyes, thinking, you want to kill me too.

"Okay." Jun Huolan leaned back in the armchair, then picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Zhuo Yu was very nervous, and Mo Yunzhu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuo, don't be nervous, this is a good thing, isn't it?"

Zhuo Yu looked at Mo Yunzhu's smiling face and said, "I still don't know why my parents don't want me."

"I don't think your parents want you anymore. They must have had some compelling reasons, otherwise they wouldn't have left you the blood jade. By the way, does your adoptive father know about this blood jade?"

Zhuo Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have been hiding it very well. I know this thing is valuable and must be very important to me."

"It seems that you have been very smart since you were young. No wonder you can become the young master of Wanyao Pavilion now." Mo Yunzhu praised him generously.

Zhuo Yu's mouth twitched. If he had been smarter, he would not have been unable to find the blood jade clue and catch the female thief.

Jun Huolan put down his teacup and looked at Zhuo Yu, saying in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhuo, this piece of blood jade of yours comes from the Chen Kingdom."

Zhuo Yu and Mo Yunzhu narrowed their eyes at the same time, both a little surprised.

"Can you show me the blood jade?" Jun Huolan had a lot of things in his mind, making him look very deep.

Zhuo Yu immediately pulled it out from his neck. Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows. If he had known to hang it around his neck, she would not have been able to steal it. She didn't know what he was thinking before.

But is this a case of learning from one’s mistakes?
