Huaiyan's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly thought of what Old Master Shen had said the other day and immediately looked at Qi Rongrong in alarm, "Yes, grandfather is talking to me about Ah Hao. Let us be together …"

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

"Dad is not here anymore, and the Shen family will be yours and mine. Naturally, when we go, it'll be Ah Hao and yours. Yan, you're a good child. Mom once mistook you for something. Are you willing to listen to what Mom said and give whatever grandpa gave you to Mom to keep for you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about …" Grandfather didn't give me anything. "

Huaiyan bit her lower lip. She wasn't good at lying, but she also knew that she couldn't go against her grandfather's warning.

Qi Rongrong's expression changed slightly, as if she was angry. In just a short moment, her amiable expression returned, and she let out a long sigh. It was as if she could see a lot of loneliness on her face that was no longer young or beautiful.

This was unlike her. She was always dignified and overbearing, weak and lonely, as if she would never be able to describe her.

"Yan Yan, the last time mother hit you, she was really worried about Hao. After thinking about it later, she was actually very regretful."

As Qi Rongrong spoke, a hint of regret appeared on her face. On the contrary, when she saw this, she felt slightly uncomfortable. No matter what, she was an elder. It wasn't easy for her to put down her pride and apologize …

"Mom, I don't blame you, really." That smile looked strange and clean, causing even Qi Rongrong to be stunned for a moment. A woman with such a smile on her face shouldn't be that bad …

Her eyes were cloudy but she thought for a moment about her purpose in coming here. In the end, she was still jealous of her.

Although she had promised her grandfather, she didn't actually want those things. She was just an ordinary woman who was used to living an ordinary life and really wanted her to shoulder that beautiful and heavy burden, but she still wasn't used to it …

What's more …

Grandfather only said that he wanted her to protect him, but he didn't say that he couldn't change their master. After all, that master was still Ah Hao's mother, and also her mother-in-law. Sooner or later, he would return to Ah Hao's hands.

Yan'er, you don't know, I have been in the Shen family for decades, and have done a lot of wrong things, not only do you not like me, but Grandma Hao also didn't like me when I was here, not to mention that child Ah Hao. You must have seen that he didn't even want to call me mother, I don't have any status here, even if I did wrong when I was young, I have already changed.

With that, she raised her head to look at Huan Yan with some doubt. "Grandpa said that it was passed down from generation to generation from the Shen family. He said that he was going to give it to every single daughter-in-law of the Shen family …"

Qi Rongrong gracefully stood up, her lips curled up into a sneer, but it carried a trace of sadness, "Am I not the Shen family's daughter-in-law? Isn't the only heir to the Shen family born to me? Precious jewelry? "Looks like the old gramps isn't telling you the truth …"

Qi Rongrong lowered her head and gently stroked the dark green jade ring on her finger, "There aren't many things in that safe, but any one of them is enough to buy a fifth of the Schengx!"

"What?"

She had only heard her grandfather say that those were her grandmother's dowry from the past, that they were not allowed to be sold from generation to generation, but she had never thought that they would be something so precious!

I don't know much about the specifics, but I vaguely heard your grandfather say that a set of old pit ice jade jewelry from the Kangxi era was already priceless. Not to mention that there were also a few that were looted by Tzu Hsi to accompany with the burial of various ancient objects from the previous dynasty. It's just that the Shen family has been around for many years, and these items have never been touched by any of the previous family members, and only a few people have ever seen them.

"Mom …" These things are too valuable, I really can't take on this responsibility. How about I ask dad and mom to take care of it? "

After pondering for a long time, she finally made up her mind. Initially, she thought that it was just some jewelry, so she wasn't willing to take it. Now that she knew that it was a priceless artifact, she definitely couldn't take it.

"Yan'er, you also know that Ah Hao has a deep grudge against us, not to mention that the old gramps has given these things to you. If Ah Hao finds out about mother keeping them for him, he will definitely hate me even more …"
