As a member of a big family, he knew very well that some things within the family could be covered up, but some things involved the bottom line and could not be covered up. There is no wall that is impenetrable.
Sooner or later it will be exposed, and then it will only implicate all the descendants of the Mu family.
Mu Xingchen was still studying the stone, and finally, he saw the problem.
"You can see traces of human intervention in this place," said Mu Xingchen.
After Tian Chengcheng's reminder, he discovered the problem.
Perhaps in order to achieve a realistic effect as quickly as possible, or to shorten the construction period, the other party used some artificial means before processing the stone, such as chiseling it with tools and then processing it to create a bumpy appearance.
Then it is processed again. Although the outside looks like it has been naturally weathered, problems can still be seen at the bottom.
Miao Houde and the other two walked over to take a look and found that it was indeed the case.
"Xingchen is really careful and can always find the problem." As an elder, Miao Houde was generous with his praise.
Yang Chongming said excitedly, "You can even see such a subtle point, little brother, you are amazing! If it were me, I might not be able to spot the problem even with a magnifying glass."
"Your problem is not your eyes, but your heart." Tian Chengcheng ruthlessly exposed him.
Yang Chongming felt a pain in his heart, but he quickly accepted his mediocrity.
"I'm just an ordinary person. Of course, I can't compare with you two. You two are little geniuses, but I'm a senior brother. I'm proud. In the future, I will be able to live a good life by relying on my junior brothers and sisters."
"You have good taste." Tian Chengcheng gave him a big compliment.
"The key is that I'm lucky. Otherwise, how could I become your two senior brothers among so many people?"
Tian Chengcheng gave him a thumbs up.
There's nothing wrong with this idea.
Just as they were hesitating about what to do next, the servant outside knocked on the door.
Miao Houde walked over and opened the door. "What's going on?"
"Master Miao, Madam Mu is here."
"Where are the people?"
"He's in the front hall. He said he has something to discuss with Master Miao."
Miao Houde glanced at Tian Chengcheng and Mu Xingchen, and understood what was going on. It was obvious what was going on when the old lady came here at this time.
It seems that the old lady is stronger than they thought and has made up her mind.
"Go and invite the old lady to the study." Miao Houde said, then immediately changed his mind, "You stay, I'll go myself."
Tian Chengcheng and Mu Xingchen also followed. Seeing this, Yang Chongming quickly stood up and followed, "I'll go too. Wait for me."
When the old lady saw several people coming together, she didn't say much and followed them to the study.
"Madam, what do you think about this matter?" Miao Houde asked tentatively.
The old lady sighed softly, "It's my failure. I didn't educate them well. Living in this world is not just about interests, but also about responsibilities! Even if you are narrow-minded and disregard your responsibilities, you must bear the consequences of your actions.
Let my people investigate with yours. Don't worry, I won't cover up for them."
Since the old lady had said this, Miao Houde couldn't refuse.
"Since the old lady has spoken, let's do as she says."
The old lady looked at Tian Chengcheng and Mu Xingchen, "I still want to hear your opinions on this matter."
"Grandma, let Grandpa Miao investigate that matter himself." Tian Chengcheng said after thinking for a while.
It's not that I doubt that the old lady will sabotage it, but such an act of sacrificing one's own relatives for the sake of justice is too cruel for an old lady who is already in her seventies.
"Fubao, do you think grandma will favor them?" the old lady asked in confusion.
She really made a great decision, and now that she is being questioned, she feels a little uncomfortable.
"Grandma, I'm not questioning you, but I think you must be very embarrassed about this matter. If you don't know anything, you will feel less psychological pressure."
After hearing Tian Chengcheng's words, the old lady's depressed mood improved a little.
"I'm very happy that Fubao is thinking about me, but I still hope to be involved in this matter. Even if my child makes a mistake, I have to know where he went wrong."
Since the old lady said so, Tian Chengcheng didn't know what to say.
However, Mu Xingchen only maintained superficial calmness. She didn't care about people other than those she cared about. It didn't matter to her who was behind all this.
So, when everyone was discussing, he just listened casually, and most of his attention was focused on the two stones.
He must ensure that when he sees this kind of fake stone again, he can tell it at a glance and never buy fake stones, otherwise all the savings he has made from buying stones will be wiped out.
Seeing that he looked thoughtful, Tian Chengcheng thought he was thinking about this question seriously, so she asked him.
"Xingchen, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Mu Xingchen was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't have any opinion. Just do what you say."
After deciding to investigate the matter, they decided to split into three groups, each looking for clues and then summarizing the clues they found.
The old lady returned to the Mu Mansion, while Tian Chengcheng and Mu Xingchen followed Yang Chongming to stroll around the jade market.
Tian Chengcheng bought a few inconspicuous stones and opened a few more. They were all ordinary stones with no room for appreciation.
