Chapter 135: The Haunting of Songpu County [26]
After returning to Chen's house, Mu Jinxi found that the lights here were much brighter, and it seemed that Ye Batian did what he said, and their whereabouts were no longer hidden.
"Old lady, they're back."
Ye Batian immediately ran in after Mu Jinxi and his party walked back, and Mu Jinxi didn't worry about anything, as long as she said a word here, she just walked sideways.
Old Madam Chen walked out, saw Ye Chuqiao and Mu Jinxi, her eyes were full of questions, Mu Jinxi walked in front of Old Madam Chen, and then saw Xiao Rou and Huang Teng kneeling in front of Old Madam Chen, and found that Huang Teng had fainted, it seemed that she was tortured, she still bent down very politely and called Old Madam Chen.
Ye Chuqiao found out that things were not very right since he came in, but he didn't know what was wrong, Mu Jinxi may have found out too, but she had prepared everything.
On the way back, Mu Jinxi asked Ling Xi to go to the prefect first, and then asked Bingling to rush to the nearest military camp to find someone.
So there were only two people who came back, Ye Chuqiao and Mu Jinxi, Mu Jinxi looked at Xiao Rou's eyes, she had studied psychology before, although she didn't understand, but Xiao Rou's eyes were full of worry.
"I don't know what mistake my maidservant made to let the old lady punish like this?"
Mu Jinxi looked at Xiao Rou's swollen face, if she let Ben Chi know that she didn't protect her good maid, I don't know if she would kill herself.
Old Madam Chen glanced at Xiao Rou, then looked up at Ye Batian, and then said sharply:
"This maid actually wants to steal my family heirloom, Mu Gongzi, the old body believes in you to let you live in the house, as for your token, I heard Batian say, recently someone has been outside with the official's token to deceive people everywhere, so I have to suspect this matter, this maid stole our Chen family's heirloom not only stolen, but also broke this when she was caught."
Old Madam Chen took out the jade in her arms, Mu Jinxi took a look, she also knew a little bit about jade, and when she saw the jade in Old Madam Chen's hand, she looked at it.
"I don't know what kind of jade the old lady's heirloom is made of?"
Mu Jinxi asked like this, Ye Batian knew that Mu Jinxi was going to prepare the old lady's words, so he hurriedly walked out and said loudly:
"The heirloom of our Chen family is made of high-quality jadeite, which was given to my master by the emperor."
Jadeite?
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, this is not easy to say, but she glanced at the jade in the old lady's hand, and she remembered what she had learned from her uncle before.
In modern times, her uncle is a jade collector, and he also learned a lot about the origin and stories of jade, and more importantly, she knows how to distinguish between real and fake jade.
"Old lady, I don't know if I can show you the 'family heirloom' in your hand?"
Seeing Mu Jinxi like this, Ye Batian was a little anxious, he was about to stop it, but he heard the old lady say such a sentence.
"It's better if you have something to say, otherwise even if the old body is dead, you will have to pay for the crime of disrespect."
After speaking, he handed the jade in his hand to Mu Jinxi's hand, Mu Jinxi looked at the scattered jade in her hand, and she smiled.
Jadeite, commonly known as 'jadeite' in modern times, and jadeite, also known as Burmese jade, or Burmese jadeite, is a rising star in China's traditional jade, and is the top grade of all jade in modern times.
