"Oh right! Girl! Please help collect the things we left for Xiao Tao and Xiao Yue, as well as the things I collected for an old friend!
"I'm afraid it's not safe to keep it at home. Lately, I've been feeling my eyelids twitching! I don't know what's going to happen next! I'm really afraid of letting that old friend down!" Li Shujuan said, as if she suddenly thought of something.
"Hey, Godmother, isn't this safe? They've dug up the house and still can't find it! Just leave it there!"
Su Nian felt that the old couple trusted him too much and felt uncomfortable.
"Alas! I'm always worried if I keep it at home, afraid that they'll come and search the house again. It's safer if you have a clean background, girl!
Later, when we really arrived in Zhuyuan Village, on the surface, you and your godfather met as if it were an ordinary doctor-patient relationship.
Now, we have no one to trust except you!" Li Shujuan said helplessly.
"Well~ okay! Leave it to me! Keep it, so that the Meng family will have something to rely on in the future!" Su Nian pondered for a moment and spoke.
These things will bring unexpected surprises to this family in the future. Su Nian felt that since they had come this far, it didn't matter if he helped them a little more. They obviously didn't consider him an outsider.
Seeing that Su Nian agreed, Li Shujuan patted the back of Su Nian's hand with great satisfaction. Her gratitude was beyond words, and her lips were trembling, not knowing what to say.
In her heart, she never thought about what would happen if the things were given to Su Nian and Su Nian took them away.
Su Nian is now like a life-saving straw, making the old couple trust him immensely.
After saying that, Li Shujuan turned and went into the inner room. This time, she stayed a little longer.
It seems that this time he kept it well and didn't take it out. This was also a sudden decision to ask Su Nian to help keep it.
This time, Li Shujuan took out a small box the size of a palm and two sachet-like bags.
Li Shujuan opened the small box in front of the two children and Meng Changling.
Inside the box was a jade pendant carved with a plum blossom, a letter, and two small sachets, one embroidered with the word "Tao" and the other with the word "Yue".
Li Shujuan took out a gold lock and four small gold bracelets from inside.
From another sachet, he took out an exquisitely crafted phoenix-head hairpin inlaid with gold and jade, and a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets.
"This is the only heirloom our Meng family possesses. Zitao, Ziyue, today, I am handing it over to your aunt for safekeeping in front of you. If we can live to see that day, we will naturally ask your aunt for it!
If something happens to us suddenly, then wait until you are twenty years old. If the world is peaceful, you can ask your aunt for it. If it is still as chaotic as it is now, then there is no need to look for her!
If you are useless and don't work hard, your aunt doesn't need to give you these things. Even if she gives them to you, you can't keep them! Let's wait until the Meng family has a successful descendant!
If the Meng family falls into ruin and is destroyed, and never recovers, all this will belong to your aunt!
Li Shujuan spoke solemnly as if she was explaining her funeral arrangements.
"Oh! Godmother, please don't say those unlucky words! Don't worry! We can all live well until that time. As long as we are healthy and have no disasters, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little!"
Seeing Li Shujuan's attitude of entrusting her child to someone else, Su Nian couldn't help but say with a smile.
"Silly girl! Life is unpredictable! Thank goodness I met you! Otherwise, my godmother would have been terminally ill long ago!"
Li Shujuan said with emotion.
"Godmother, may you and godfather live a long and healthy life!" Su Nian said with a smile, comforting her.
"The things in this little box were given to me by an old friend of mine. When I left the capital, she asked me to bring it with me! I was afraid if I lost it, I wouldn't be able to find the child!"
Li Shujuan stroked the jade pendant and spoke as if recalling the past.
"Is there any story behind this jade pendant?"
Su Nian looked at the plum blossom jade pendant and thought about the tree leaf jade pendant in her hand. Could there be any connection between them?
In theory, they should be the same to be a pair, but there is some uncertainty.
"This plum blossom jade pendant is what my old friend always carries with her. It's the full moon gifts she gave to her children. It includes orchid, bamboo jade pendants, and a tree leaf jade pendant. These are the three jade pendants!
Back then, it wasn't considered anything special! It's only in recent years that it's become taboo!
She has two sons and a daughter. She gave her youngest daughter a tree leaf jade pendant. However, her youngest daughter liked the plum blossom jade pendant that her old friend wore the most, and she always liked to play with it in her hand!
Until the youngest daughter was five years old, the family was separated by war. My old friend's husband went to the battlefield and came back sick. Now, he has not had a good ending either! "
At this point, Su Nian was shocked. There was actually a connection? Wasn't the jade pendant from the original owner's mother that he had put away the leaf jade pendant?
So, the original owner's mother is the daughter of the good friend that Li Shujuan mentioned.
"Who is that family? What's going on now?"
Su Nian didn't expect that he would get a clue about the tree leaf jade pendant so quickly, and couldn't help but ask.
"Alas! My old friend married into the Liu family in the capital. Back then, the Liu family was also a prominent family in Kyoto. But now! Alas!"
Li Shujuan shook her head and sighed, "My old friend met the wrong person and was falsely accused and reported by the adopted son she raised herself!
Now, the old couple have also been sent down to the countryside! I don’t know where their children have been sent to either!
"Then where were they sent to?"
Su Nian continued to ask.
