Chapter 67: I Want to Be Alone

Leng Shuang looked at the man in front of him, he looked handsome and chic, wearing a dark blue robe to set off his figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, high nose bridge, sexy and attractive lips, fair skin, the whole face exudes a mature and steady charm, people can't take their eyes off, he exudes a strong aristocratic temperament up and down, his eyes are as bright as obsidian, as if he contains the vast sea, he looks like a character who came out of a painting.

Leng Shuang stared at this man stunned, she had never seen such a handsome man.

"This son...... Who are you?" Cold Frost couldn't help but ask.

At this time, the man raised his head and looked at Cold Frost, looking at this extremely beautiful woman, his eyes darkened, and then said, "You are Cold Frost Girl!"

Cold Frost nodded, then said, "I'm Cold Frost."

"I am the emperor's guard, and I was ordered to give this to you, hoping that the cold frost girl can make good use of it." As he spoke, the man handed a jade pendant in his hand to Cold Frost.

Leng Shuang took the jade pendant and studied it carefully, and then said, "You go down first, I want to be alone and quiet."

"Yes." The man saluted respectfully, then stepped back.

After the man left, Cold Frost put the jade pendant away.

The next night, Leng Shuang took the jade pendant to an alley in the north of the city.

"Here's what you want, here's the key," the man said, "It's a treasure, I hope you can find it as soon as possible, don't delay too long, or we'll be in trouble."

Cold Frost nodded and said, "I see."

"Well, I hope you can find it soon, we still have things to do, you need to find this thing as soon as possible." The man finished and left.

After the man left, Leng Shuang stood at the mouth of the alley, she took a deep breath, then pushed the door and walked in, this is where she used to live, now there is only a yard full of wild grass left, Leng Shuang slowly walked into the house, everything has changed in this room, the flower pots on the windowsill have dried up, and the walls are covered with cobwebs, and the pillowcases on the bed are also crawling with spider silk, Leng Shuang took a look, and then picked up the pillowcase and threw it away.

"Madame, are you back?" A woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Well, yes, you're ready to eat!" Cold Frost commanded.

"Yes." The woman answered, and then departed.

Leng Shuang looked at the jade pendant in her hand, she thought, maybe this matter has something to do with this jade pendant!

Leng Shuang took the jade pendant to his room, then sat in front of the dressing mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror carefully, although this skin looks pretty good, but compared to Lin Mengxue, it is still far behind, Leng Shuang's face showed a bitter smile, and then put the jade pendant under the pillow, she decided that she still had to test it, after all, her current situation, she couldn't wait any longer.

Leng Shuang changed his clothes, and then went to find Gu Tingyu.

Leng Shuang walked into Gu Tingyu's courtyard, and as soon as she walked in, she saw Gu Tingyu sitting at the table drinking tea.

"Husband." Cold Frost shouted.

Gu Tingyu watched Leng Shuang walk in, then beckoned, motioning for Leng Shuang to come over and sit beside him.

Leng Shuang walked over, and then sat next to Gu Tingyu.

"Madame, you're here." Gu Tingyu said, he gently touched Cold Frost's hair, and then said, "You came to me for something?"

Cold Frost nodded, and then said, "Do you know this jade pendant?" Cold Frost took out the jade pendant from his bosom and placed it on the table.

Gu Tingyu looked at the jade pendant handed over by Leng Shuang, then frowned, and then asked, "What kind of jade pendant is this?" I've never seen it, right...... Is this your personal accessory?"

Leng Shuang shook his head, and then said, "No, I only have this jade pendant, which I bought on the street when I was in Kyoto."

"Oh!" Gu Tingyu nodded.

"Is there anything strange about this jade pendant?" Cold Frost asked again

Road.

"It's really strange, I've never seen it, this jade pendant is carved from red jade, and it's not suitable for wearing on the body," Gu Tingyu explained.

"Ruby?"

Gu Tingyu nodded: "Yes, it's a red jade, and the color of this red jade is a little purple."

Cold Frost frowned, could it be that he guessed wrong?

"I remember that my father was a businessman, and he recently fell ill and died, I wonder if he left the money to me, I plan to go to the yamen tomorrow to check the origin of this jade pendant, to see if he left me the property." Cold Frost said.

Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "Since you like this jade pendant, then give it to you, and you can take it with you in the future!" After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he rummaged through the cabinet for a long time, and finally found a box, and then handed the box to Leng Shuang, who put the jade pendant into the box.

"Madame, if you have anything to do, call me, I'll go first," and with that, he left.

Leng Shuang looked at the box in her hand and sighed, in fact, she didn't know why, since she married Gu Tingyu, she always had a faint worry in her heart, but she couldn't figure out what was going on, so she could only wait for the time to observe slowly.

Leng Shuang opened the box and found that there were two hairpins inside, and the hairpins were inlaid with two huge gemstones, which looked beautiful.

Cold Frost took out the two hairpins and stuck them on his head.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Leng Shuang saw Gu Tingyu walk in.

Gu Tingyu looked at her, and then said with a slight smile, "It's so beautiful."

"Where did this hairpin come from?" Cold Frost asked.

"If you like it." Gu Tingyu said.

"Husband, let's go to the City God Temple tomorrow, I heard that there is an old Taoist priest there who can help others solve mysteries." "Let's go tomorrow morning, it's still early anyway."

Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "You are in charge!"

Leng Shuang was relieved to hear that Gu Tingyu had agreed to his request.

Leng Shuang's wrist was wearing the jade pendant, Leng Shuang couldn't sleep on the bed, she opened her eyes and looked at the curtain above her head, and suddenly thought that if her father didn't leave this jade pendant to her mother, maybe she could continue to enjoy a rich life, at least she didn't need to live so desolate, but these were irreparable.

The more Cold Frost thought about it, the more painful it became, she closed her eyes, and then turned her head away.

The next morning, Gu Tingyu woke up early, he got dressed, and looked at the cold frost on the bed.

Gu Tingyu lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and then said, "Shuang'er, get up, let's go to the City God Temple to see that old Taoist priest."

Leng Shuang nodded, then got up from the bed, washed up briefly, and then followed Gu Tingyu out of the door, and the two came to the City God Temple.

"What are we doing here?" Cold Frost asked suspiciously.

Gu Tingyu pulled the cold frost and walked towards the house where the old Taoist priest lived, and then knocked on the door of the house.

After a while, the old Taoist priest opened the door, and when he saw Gu Tingyu, he was stunned, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground: "See the prince."

Gu Tingyu helped the Taoist priest up, and then asked, "Are you the Taoist priest?"

"Yes, my lord." The Taoist priest replied respectfully.

"I'm here to ask you a few words, hoping that you can tell you the truth." Gu Tingyu said, "Who gave you this jade pendant?"

When the old Taoist priest heard Gu Tingyu ask this, his face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled and said, "The prince spares his life, the slave does not dare to deceive, this jade pendant is indeed a relic of my master."

"What family is your grandfather?" Cold Frost couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know where this jade pendant came from?" Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang and said.

"This ......" Cold Frost hesitated for a moment, but remembering the nightmare she had last night, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "I think I know what's going on, this jade pendant should be mine."

Mother's dowry."

Gu Tingyu raised his head in surprise and looked at Leng Shuang, and asked, "Shuang'er, is what you said true?"

Leng Shuang nodded and said, "Yes, this jade pendant is my mother's dowry, and I once secretly hid it."

"Frost, why didn't you tell me?" Gu Tingyu nervously grabbed Leng Shuang's hand and said, "If you had said it earlier, I would definitely not have let you wear this thing."

Leng Shuang looked down at the jade pendant in his hand and said, "I don't want to mention this jade pendant again, because I have never forgotten this jade pendant, my mother died in the hands of the owner of this jade pendant, if I wear this jade pendant, I am afraid I will never be able to get rid of this hatred."

"So what do we do now?" Gu Tingyu asked.

"I don't care, I just know that my mother died to save me, so I must take revenge." Cold Frost said resolutely.

Gu Tingyu listened to Leng Shuang's words and also fell silent.

"Let's go see!" Gu Tingyu said.

"En," Leng Shuang said, and then left the City God Temple with Gu Tingyu.

After the two of them got into the carriage, they walked outside the city, and not long after leaving the city gate, Gu Tingyu suddenly said, "Stop!"

"Parking?" Cold Frost said, then lifted the curtain and looked outside.

"I seem to see a familiar shadow!" Gu Tingyu frowned.

"A familiar shadow?" Cold Frost looked at Gu Tingyu.

Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "I'm sure, this is the back of the man we met in the cave."

"Are you sure?" Leng Shuang asked, her face showed an excited expression, that man turned out to be Gu Tingyu's enemy.

"I'm sure," Gu Tingyu said, "I've seen this kind of charm in my books before."

"So what do we do now?" Cold Frost asked.

"We went after him, and he was fast, and we might not be able to catch up with him."
