Chapter 186 Goodbye Chimeric Jade
It’s a pity that Zhou Lingling, who is not very smart, doesn’t know how to read people’s expressions at all.
Seeing that the old lady did not respond, he cleared his throat and said:
"Old Madam, do you not trust my character?"
"This prince is doing this out of kindness to help the Empress Dowager. If the master at the Imperial Observatory hadn't told me that everyone's destiny is different, the formulas for the blessing sutra are also different, and that I need to avoid being alone to avoid leaking the grace of heaven, and therefore need to explain it individually, this prince wouldn't have gone to such lengths."
As expected of the talkative Zhou Lingling, she could actually come up with this method to talk to her alone.
This kid is a little silly, but he is also thoughtful.
He had said so much, how could the old lady dare to stop him?
The old lady said: "Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your grace. I have no intention of distrusting Prince Cang. I will have the ancestral hall cleaned up and have His Royal Highness Prince Cang teach the prayer sutra."
Zhou Lingling responded indifferently and secretly winked at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan was so embarrassed that she tapped her toes on the ground.
Not far away, Shen Yu saw the eye contact between the two, his mouth pursed into a straight line, and his brows knitted tightly.
Zhao, who was standing at the door, had a pale face and was able to keep her balance with the help of her personal maid.

The ancestral hall was quickly cleaned up.
Zhou Lingling finally had the opportunity to talk to Wen Wan with a legitimate reason.
Wen Wan had just closed the door and turned around to see Zhou Lingling rushing towards her.
Fortunately, she dodged quickly, otherwise she would have been caught by him.
"What are you doing standing there talking? Men and women shouldn't touch each other..."
Before Wen Wan finished speaking, she saw Zhou Lingling slumped on the ground. This tall and strong man actually started wiping his tears.
The corner of her mouth twitched, "Isn't it just that I didn't let you hug me, why are you crying? You have your white moonlight, and I have my good son. We are not in a relationship where you can hug anyone casually! I am very reserved!"
"Sister..." Zhou Lingling wiped her tears, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to hold you? I was just walking too fast and was unsteady."
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then squatted down in front of him and raised her hand to grab the pure gold longevity lock around his neck.
"This lock of yours must weigh a pound, and the clothes you're wearing are really heavy. It's hard to believe you can walk steadily with so much stuff on."
She played with the longevity lock and said, "Look, the child is crying from exhaustion. Be good, I love you, don't cry, I'll help you with these heavy things."
As she spoke, she took off the longevity lock from Zhou Lingling's neck and hung it around her own neck without blushing or breathing heavily.
The moment she was hung up, her neck suddenly fell down, almost making her nose hit the ground.
Wen Wan: “…”
She was wrong. How could this lock only weigh one kilogram?
This must be about five or six kilograms, right?
She held the longevity lock in both hands and slowly stood up again with her head held high.
Zhou Lingling had been worried for a while, and when she met an old friend in a foreign land, she was so emotional that she couldn't hold back her tears.
Unexpectedly, when he suddenly saw Wen Wan's embarrassed and awkward look, he was instantly amused.
"Sister, why are you in such a hurry? I originally intended to bring these things to you."
"I've always remembered what you said to me. If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"
Zhou Lingling stuffed all the gold lock on her body, the jade pendant around her waist, and the stack of silver bills in her arms into Wen Wan's arms.
Not only that, he also began to take off his boots, explaining as he did so:
"I've also seen the soles of these boots. They're made of white jade, so they should be worth quite a bit of money. Take them all..."
Wen Wan glared and quickly held his hand down, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably.
"There's no need to go to this extent. You're a prince now, after all. You can't go out barefoot anytime soon, right?"
Zhou Lingling thought about it and felt that she was right, so she put her boots back on.
Perhaps because he felt relieved, his old habit of talking too much came back.
Once he starts talking, he can't stop.
"Sister, I'm curious now, how did you know I would become rich?"
"Hey, when you disappeared, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep for several days. If it weren't for those people guarding me, I would definitely go look for you."
"You have no idea how much I've suffered during this time. Can you believe it? Those people from the Imperial Observatory were complete liars. They didn't take us to the imperial mausoleum at all. Instead, they took us to an empty house. Then, a bunch of people who came from nowhere pointed at us and even bled us. There's a hole the size of a chopstick on my finger now..."
While he was speaking, Wen Wan was excitedly counting the banknotes. The more she counted, the bigger the smile on her face became.
In the end, Wen Wan's eyes narrowed into a curved line, and when she looked at Zhou Lingling, her eyes flashed with a faint green light.
She stuffed the silver into her arms and gave Zhou Lingling a big hug with emotion.
"Good brothers, forever!"
Zhou Lingling looked confused, then shyly pushed her away.
"Sister, you just said you were very reserved?"
Wen Wan shook her head. "No, you're my brother from now on. Don't be so distant with me. We're all family."
The boy, who was completely coaxed by a few sweet words, nodded repeatedly.
"Well, we are a family, siblings!"
It’s a pity that the feeling of being touched only lasted two seconds.
Zhou Lingling's next words really poured a bucket of cold water on Wen Wan.
"Sister, since we are siblings, can I make a small, small request?"
Wen Wan said very straightforwardly: "Of course, you can say whatever you want, even if it means taking my sister's life... If my life is not possible, everything else is easy to talk about."
Zhou Lingling carefully took out a small cloth bag from her arms, opened it, and took out a jade pendant from it.
"Sister, I don't want your life, just ask your man to do me a favor."
When Wen Wan saw the jade pendant, she felt sick.
Because, this jade pendant is just a jade pendant in the eyes of others, but in her eyes, it is a mechanism.
Chimeric jade.
She didn't expect that Zhou Lingling would actually take out this thing.
Because of this piece of mosaic jade, the owner and employees of the jewelry store in the border town were all killed.
The entire shop was destroyed in the fire.
Thinking of the innocent and tragic deaths of the jewelry store owner and clerk, Wen Wan's face darkened and she asked in a cold voice, "Where did you get this thing?"
Perhaps the hatred in her eyes was not hidden, Zhou Lingling was stunned for a moment and instinctively shrank her neck.
"Sister, do you really recognize this thing?"
Wen Wan asked again in a deep voice: "Tell me first, how did you get this thing?"
Zhou Lingling was frightened by her attitude, "Grandma Huang gave it to me."
Empress Dowager?
Could it be that the people who killed the jewelry store owner and his clerk were the Empress Dowager's men?
Wen Wan: "Do you know how the Queen Mother got this jade pendant?"
