Shengjing Noble

Chapter 184 Tianshan Cold Jade

Before he could finish his threat, Lu Wanjun took off her shoes and threw them at him.

The thick sole of the shoe hit Su Yongcheng's old face hard, making him grimace in pain.

Lu Wanjun felt happy in her heart, and said with her hands on her hips, "If you don't get out of here, I'll tear your old face off. Let's see how you can still yell at me!"

"You...you are unreasonable!"

Su Yongcheng couldn't scold her or beat her, he was so angry that his head was about to smoke. When he saw Lu Wanjun taking off her other shoe, he was so scared that he immediately got into the carriage.

The driver was afraid of being implicated, so he drove away from the Lu family at full speed.

Watching them flee in panic, Lu Wanjun dusted off her hands and put on the shoes picked up by the servants, her eyes full of pride.

"What a bastard, if he dares to come here again, I will release the dogs!"

"Yes!" The doormen responded one after another.

……

Soon, the imperial court issued a letter of appointment, and Su Shengyun immediately set out for Qiu County to take up the appointment, and was required to investigate the accidental death of the Qiu County magistrate within ten days.

This is a death order from the emperor. If it cannot be completed, he will have to resign and return to Beijing, and he may not be reused in the future.

To put it bluntly, this was a test from the emperor to Su Shengyun.

……

Lu Wanjun tossed and turned at night. After all, her four children had never left her for so many years.

When she thought about Su Shengyun going far away to Qiu County, she felt mixed emotions.

Su Lanyin was awakened by a knock on the door just as she fell asleep. Cuizhu opened the door and saw Lu Wanjun standing outside in her outer robe.

"Where's the girl?"

Cuizhu whispered, "She just fell asleep. Do you want me to wake her up?"

"Oh, forget it, let me sleep."

Lu Wanjun looked disappointed. She turned around and was about to leave when she heard Su Lanyin getting up.

"Is that you, mother? Come in."

She came out wearing a thin inner garment, and it was obvious at a glance that her mother was worried.

The mother and daughter crawled into bed. Su Lanyin hugged her arms dependently, her whole body pressed tightly against her, and her mind couldn't help but recall the scenes of her childhood.

"When I was little, I also liked to sleep next to my mother."

"Yes, your three brothers are all monkeys. They never sleep well, jumping up and down and annoying people. Only you are the best. You nestle in your mother's arms, like a rag doll, adorable."

Su Lanyin smiled and asked, "Mom, why are you still awake so late? Are you worried about my second brother?"

"No one knows me better than Yinyin." Lu Wanjun touched her head and sighed deeply, "Can your second brother go to such a far place alone? I heard that Qiu County is very poor. Can he endure the hardship?"

"My second brother looks weak, but he is actually very proud. Although he has been living a life of luxury since he was a child, he never pursues these things. Otherwise, he would not have asked to go to Qiu County."

"But I'm still worried..."

"Then mother wants to go with second brother?"

"What will I do if I go to take care of this big family? I still have to take care of your eldest brother, and I have to help your third brother with his business..."

"and me."

"You are still too young, and you haven't reached the age of marriage yet. There are some things that are inconvenient for you to do. What's more, you need to take care of the little girl you picked up. I heard that she is very attached to you."

"Yes, Xiaoyu is very well behaved, but she doesn't feel safe. She wants to be with me during the day, and every night, Nanny Li has to coax her to sleep before she can take her away."

"You're not even an adult yet, but you're already acting like a mother."

"Mother, it was only after I took Xiaoyu in that I finally understood how you felt. It turns out that raising a child is such a hard and troublesome thing, but you... I used to admire people like Liu Ruyan, but I was really blinded by greed!"

When she was a child, her whole family brainwashed her, saying that Liu Ruyan was as gentle and elegant as a chrysanthemum and was a role model for women, while her mother was a shrew, vulgar and not worthy of being in the upper class.

Over time, she really agreed with what those people said.

Thinking about it now, it’s really scary.

Everyone in the Su family was lying on Lu Wanjun and sucking her blood, but everyone looked down on her. Calling her an ungrateful person was an insult to the word.

"Oh, by the way, mother, when I mentioned Xiaoyu, I remembered something."

Su Lanyin took out the repaired jade ring from under the mattress. The cracks on it had been repaired by a skilled craftsman and it had returned to its original appearance.

Although it is only a small half, it still cannot conceal its moist and translucent appearance.

"This jade..." Lu Wanjun frowned, as if she had thought of something. She immediately sat up and stared at her nervously. "I didn't look at it carefully before. Now that it's repaired, I look at it again. I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"What's wrong, mother?"

"There is a faint engraving of a dragon on it, and this is also extremely rare Tianshan cold jade. I can conclude that this thing came from the palace."

"In the palace?"

There was a flash of disbelief in Su Lanyin's eyes, and then she became even more confused.

"How could a little beggar like her have such a valuable thing? Did she lie to me? This shouldn't be possible..."

Xiaoyu is not a child who likes to lie. Even if he lies, you can tell at a glance that he is guilty.

So she could be sure that Xiaoyu did not lie to her.

"Mother, take a closer look. Is this really from the palace?"

"Well, our Lu family is considered to be a wealthy family. When I was a child, I followed your grandfather around the country and saw some of the world, so I won't be wrong. If you feel uneasy, just ask your uncle tomorrow morning."

"Yes! My uncle has been to more places than you have. Maybe he knows the origin of this thing. This way we can find Xiaoyu's father."

"Then I will send someone to invite him over tomorrow morning."

"Well, it's getting late. Please sleep with me, mother."

"What about your second brother's matter?"

"all will be good……"

Su Lanyin fell silent as she was talking, and fell asleep in Lu Wanjun's arms in a daze.

"Ah, this little girl..."

……

The next day.

Lu Yichen came to the Lu family immediately after receiving the news. As soon as he entered the door, he asked worriedly: "Someone was sent to invite me so early in the morning. Did something go wrong? Could it be that Su Yongcheng is here to cause trouble for you again? I must teach him a lesson today..."

Seeing her brother's fierce face, Lu Wanjun quickly stepped forward and grabbed him: "Hey, I can handle that scumbag Su Yongcheng by myself, it's not my turn to take action yet, I asked you to come here today for Yinyin."

"Huh? What happened to my oldest niece?"

Su Lanyin walked forward and took out the half jade ring, and said sincerely: "Uncle, can you help me find out the origin of this jade?"

Su Yichen took it in his palm and looked at it carefully, his eyes became more solemn and his expression became serious.

He looked and touched, and finally sat down on a chair and fell into deep thought.

Su Lanyin's eyes flashed with worry, and she asked hurriedly: "Uncle, have you thought of anything? This jade ring..."
