When the fish came out of the room, Jiang Jiyue lowered her head slightly, looking at the rippling water waves in the basin under her, which reflected her somewhat pale little face.

"What's that......"

Suddenly, its pupils contracted slightly, and it looked towards its shoulder.

It's just that the next moment, the satin shoes under his feet accidentally kicked into the basin between movements, and the water waves, and the reflection in the basin was beaten and shattered in an instant, and it was no longer visible.

Shaking her head vigorously, Jiang Jiyue only said that she hadn't slept well last night, so she calmed down and didn't think about it anymore, but washed up a little, changed her clothes, and walked out of the attic.

"Princess, the Third Emperor is waiting for you to come over for dinner in the Jade Banquet Palace."

The fish stood outside the attic, her little face full of smiles.

Jiang Jiyue frowned, grasped the jade jue in her hand more and more, and said, "I'm going to go out and tell the third emperor that he doesn't have to wait." ”

Yu'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Then I'll go and arrange a guard for the princess." ”

Jiang Jiyue shook her head and said: "With the support of Granny Shu, what's the use of asking for those wine bags and rice bags of guards, I'll go." ”

With that, she beckoned directly to the shadows outside the attic, and then walked straight to the courtyard gate.

An old woman in a gray robe walked out of the shadows and followed behind Jiang Jiyue without saying a word, and there was a great silence between her gestures.

Yu'er was speechless, so she had to turn around and walk briskly in the direction where the Jade Banquet Palace was located.

"Miss, are you going to 'Qiyun Firm'?"

Under the gray robe, the old woman's somewhat hoarse voice came to her ears.

Jiang Jiyue didn't look back, just bowed slightly, and said, "Now that I have reached the age of sixteen, it's time to take out my mother's relics." ”

Granny Shu is the sister of Granny Liu, after Granny Liu died of illness, Granny Tree has always taken care of Jiang Jiyue to grow up, so Jiang Jiyue has never shied away from her.

"In the blink of an eye, sixteen years have passed in a flash, and Miss has grown up," Granny Shu sighed, her tone was a little complicated, "At the beginning, my two sisters originally served Madame together, if I hadn't gone to the funeral flower platform on the edge of Xianqi Sakura Valley to practice martial arts, maybe Madame would not have died, and Mademoiselle would not have suffered for several years." ”

Jiang Jiyue shook her head and said: "The memory of my childhood has been blurred, and after such a long time, my mother-in-law doesn't have to blame herself anymore." ”

Granny Shu followed Jiang Jiyue out of the gate, looked around, her expression was a little solemn, and said, "Miss, there are two guards following in secret, you hold on to my sleeve, and I will take you to shake them off." ”

Between the swings of the gray robe, Granny Shu grabbed Jiang Jiyue's slender wrist, and disappeared into the Lianmian Building in a few leaps.

A moment later, two warriors in strong armor appeared, glanced at each other, and stood on the ground and looked at each other.

"Granny Shu, do you know what my mother left behind?"

Jiang Jiyue was a little upset and said in a low voice.

Granny Shu took Jiang Jiyue to leap between the eaves of the pavilion, and said: "This is a secret that must not be known by others, miss, although I vaguely know what is in it, but I will talk to you in detail after you get the things." ”

Jiang Jiyue nodded and stopped talking.

Yungu Imperial City, Changzhao Street, Qiyun Commercial Bank.

"Wait a minute, this jade is the highest standard token, I still need to go to confirm and compare."

In the luxurious pavilion, Jiang Jiyue and Granny Shu sat in front of the wooden table, on which there was fine tea, and the person talking opposite them was the head of a business house dressed in a satin robe.

Jiang Jiyue glanced at the head of the firm and said, "I'm tired." ”

The director of the firm said with a smile: "It's just a duty to do it, no hardship and no labor." ”

After these words fell, he ordered the little servant next to him to serve exquisite pastries one after another, and he turned around and entered the back hall with the piece of jade.

The scale of Qiyun Commercial Bank is very large, and the palace here is only one of its sixteen branches in the Imperial City of Yungu.

After about half a pillar of incense, the head of the merchant house came out with a tray covered with silk cloth, which looked like a square wooden box.

"I've kept the two distinguished guests waiting."

The head of the firm carefully placed the tray on top of the wooden case, and the waiter behind him took out a few yellowed bills and said, "Chief, the deeds are all here." ”

The head of the firm took the bills, took a closer look, and then handed them to Jiang Jiyue, and said with a smile: "This young lady, the money for the deposit has been paid in advance, and today the goods are returned to the original owner, and the money and goods are already gone." ”

Jiang Jiyue didn't care about the bills, but lifted the silk cloth on the tray and looked at the wooden box fixedly.

The director of the firm glanced at the waiter behind him, waved his hand, and after a few breaths, he withdrew from the attic one after another, and only Granny Shu and Jiang Jiyue were left before the wooden case.

After a moment of silence, she stretched out her hands to hold the wooden box, but Jiang Jiyue's brows furrowed slightly.

Granny Shu noticed that Jiang Jiyue's expression was wrong, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Jiyue didn't speak, but directly opened the old wooden box that had been sealed for more than ten years.

Squeak.

As the wooden box opened, the dust between its cracks flew away, but Jiang Jiyue didn't care at all, just stared at the wooden box deadly, and there seemed to be disbelief in her expression.

Granny Shu came over, and at a glance, her pupils contracted, and she exclaimed, "How is this possible!" ”

The wooden box that was opened was empty, and there was nothing at all!

As if hearing the sound here, the head of the firm walked quickly into the attic and looked here: "Two distinguished guests, what's wrong?" ”

Granny Shu's face was gloomy, and she pointed to the empty wooden box, and said, "I have heard that Qiyun Trading Houses are all over the Imperial City, crowning Sakura Valley, why did you do such a thing of guarding and stealing yourself?!" ”

The head of the firm was full of surprise, and said: "Distinguished customers are only afraid that they have misunderstood, the rules of my long-term care branch are extremely strict, and I will never tamper with anything of the guests." ”

After saying this, he reached out and took the wooden box, pointing to the seal mark on its periphery, "Honorable guest, look, I just removed the seal here before I took it here. What's more, if someone really stole it, not to mention whether it would be detected by the Qiyun warriors who patrolled day and night, just saying that the dust that fell in the cracks would not be formed in ten or eight years at all. ”

Granny Shu wanted to say something more, but Jiang Jiyue stood up, waved her hand to stop Granny Shu, and said, "Granny Shu, forget it." ”

"But, miss......"

Jiang Jiyue shook her head and said, "I've already thought about it, this matter is not the fault of the business. ”

Granny Tree sighed, tucked the empty wooden box into her sleeve, and said no more.

Jiang Jiyue arched her hand towards the head of the business bank and said, "My mother-in-law is a little anxious just now, and I hope to forgive me." ”

The director of the firm glanced at the light yarn on Jiang Jiyue's face, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although the young lady is covered with veil, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and her bearing is extraordinary. We understand the feelings of the two distinguished guests very much, but please believe us, Qiyun Trading Company will never do anything to guard and steal, if there is anything else you need help with, just ask. ”

Jiang Jiyue looked a little lonely, and said, "It's a lot of work, don't worry about it for the time being, Granny Shu, let's go." ”

With that, she turned around and walked out of the attic.

Granny Shu glanced at the principal of the firm, and quickly followed.

"Granny Shu, tell me the truth, what was originally in that box?"

Walking to a remote and uninhabited place, Jiang Jiyue stopped and whispered to the gray-robed old woman.

Granny Shu was silent for a moment, her expression was a little dark, and she said: "Since the young lady has reached the age of sixteen, the old woman will no longer hide it from you, as far as I know, there was originally a pair of strange wings with fascia flesh and blood attached to the box. ”

Jiang Jiyue looked puzzled, obviously not understanding this, and said, "What does that mean?" ”

Granny Shu sighed and said, "I wasn't here at the time, but I just heard my sister say that you ......."

Hearing her pause, Jiang Jiyue was subconsciously a little frightened, trembling, and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Granny Shu looked sideways at Jiang Jiyue, lowered her voice, and said slowly: "You were born a monster different from people, and the pair of bone wings hidden in the box were torn off by the lady on your back bone back then, so that you can grow up in the mansion of the Third Emperor and not attract anyone's attention." ”

When these words came into her ears, Jiang Jiyue's expression couldn't help but be a little stunned, and she stood quietly in place, looking down at her hands.

"I ...... Am I a demon? ”

Between whispering softly, Jiang Jiyue's little face became more and more pale.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Granny Shu stepped forward quickly, and helped Jiang Jiyue, who was supported by the weak willows, her eyes full of worry.
