Qin Shu looked at his father who was still playing with the jade pendant. His heart, which had been beating fast, calmed down, and the strong heat also cooled down.
What she should think about most now is to quickly cure her father's illness and then investigate the so-called "accident" that led to her mother's death.

After receiving the recommendation letter for the county school from Bai Heng, Zhang Xiulin packed up and prepared to go to the county school with his classmates on the third day. He would have to live there and could only come back during festivals or holidays.
And the rest period is only two days a month.
"Sister Lin, I can't bear to leave you." When Xiao Jie learned that Zhang Xiulin was going to the county school, he was both happy and reluctant.
They had just been engaged for a short time, and he still wanted to be as sweet and loving with Sister Lin as others said. However, Sister Lin was about to go to school, and they could only see each other once a month, which would last until August next year, when the college entrance examination was approaching.
Xiao Jie was reluctant, but he also knew that for Zhang Xiulin now, studying and taking the imperial examinations were the most important things, and she couldn't let Zhang Xiulin be distracted.
Looking at Zhang Xiulin's pitiful appearance, Zhang Xiulin had the urge to stay for a moment, but it was only a momentary thought and she quickly suppressed it.
She understood that she had to study and take the imperial examination. Only in this way would the Zhao family, as well as she and Xiao Jie, have a better future.
"Xiaojie, you have to be good, study hard and wait for me to come back." Zhang Xiulin rubbed his soft hair.
Xiao Jie hummed and nodded: "Sister Lin, I understand. You must study hard. I will miss you."
After a while, he felt a little awkward and shy and said, "You are leaving now. Can you please hug me?"
His beautiful eyes, like glass, were full of anticipation.
Zhang Xiulin smiled and hugged him with open arms.
Xiao Jie got Sister Lin's hug as he wished. He leaned close to Zhang Xiulin's ear and whispered, "Sister Lin, I will miss you, and you should miss me too. It doesn't have to be a lot, just once a day, that's enough."
"Okay, Sister Lin promises you."
Even though he was reluctant, Zhang Xiulin finally packed his bags, boarded the carriage, and headed to the county school.
Xiao Jie stood there, unwilling to leave until the carriage disappeared without a trace.
He took out the pendant from his neck, and pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom, muttering, "From now on, I can only think of the person by looking at the things."
