After taking a closer look, the executive asked, "Young Master Liu, I don't know where you got this jade pendant?" ”

Liu Yuan said with a smile, "This is a jade pendant made in a jade shop of my Liu family, it was originally a pair, and it was made from the same piece of jade, and the master is also the same person." At the beginning, an aunt went to the store to buy this jade pendant, and the remaining other piece was this piece in the hands of the executive's family. ”

Qin Lian was confused when she heard these words, but the executives seemed to have heard some shocking remarks, and their eyes widened in shock.

After a long time, the executive swallowed his saliva and tentatively opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Liu Yuan looked confident, and hooked his lips, "Executive, I'm sure you can understand what I mean." ”

"This ......"

The executive looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and his expression became more and more entangled. After a long delay, the executive's family seemed to have made some decision, and arched his hand towards Liu Yuan, "Young Master Liu, I still need to investigate this matter, and I will have to trouble Young Master Liu to help when the time comes." ”

"It's natural, since I chose to tell the executives about it, I'm bound to help!" Liu Yuan said solemnly.

waited until his promise, the executive's face looked better, and he didn't even bother to drink the tea and left.

Liu Yuan slowly called Xiao Er to order food.

Qin Lian couldn't understand what he was talking about with the executive, and when the shopkeeper left, she immediately asked, "What do you mean by bringing me here?" Also, what do you mean by what you say to executives? ”

Liu Yuan didn't hide it, and took a sip of tea.

"When the little county lord was sent away, there were only two things on her body that could prove her identity, the same was the birthmark on her body, where her neck met her shoulder." Liu Yuan turned sideways and pointed to Qin Lian's position, and said, "The other one is the jade pendant that the fifth prince gave to the princess back then." When the princess was pregnant with a child, she took the jade pendant to the high monk to practice enlightenment, and later she gave the jade pendant to the newborn child. ”

"When the little county lord was taken away, the jade pendant was on her, and it was exactly the same as the jade pendant in my hand."

Liu Yuan showed her the jade pendant.

The jade pendant is in excellent color, green and transparent, and the workmanship is exquisite, and the dragon shape is carved to life.

Qin Lian looked at it and didn't understand, "Since it is a jade pendant given to the princess by the prince, why is it also in your store?" ”

She had just heard Liu Yuan say this to the executives.

Liu Yuan said, "Our Liu family's craftsmen are recognized by the royal family. The jade pendant that the first emperor gave to the five princes was made by our Liu family, and later built two other identical ones according to the instructions of the first emperor, and originally wanted to send them to the palace, but the first emperor temporarily changed his instructions and wanted other jade pendants, and these two dragon jade pendants were left in the Liu family. ”

"Until the death of the first emperor, the dragon pattern jade pendant was not taken away. Some time ago, a generous aunt came to the store, and I heard that there was a dragon-patterned jade pendant in the store, so I bought one of them at a high price. Although this jade pendant is no longer wanted by the emperor, it is also a thing of the emperor's family, and it should not have been bought in the first place, but the manager of the store was not there that day, and someone sold the jade pendant when he was fishing in the water. ”

"I didn't pay attention to this matter, but when I went to the store that day to ask a few words, I learned that the person who sold the jade pendant was the nurse next to the lord of Kangle." Liu Yuan took a sip of tea, "That nurse is the aunt of the Zhou family who followed Zhou Yun'er all the way from Qingxi Town to the capital. ”

"Is that her?!"

Qin Lian thought of Mother Zhou for the first time, but she didn't expect the news of Mother Zhou to appear in this way.

She hurriedly asked, "Why did Mother Zhou buy this dragon pattern jade pendant?" ”

Even if she doesn't understand jade, she also knows that things related to the emperor's family are very valuable, how could a person with a small belly like Zhou's mother be willing to spend so much money to buy a jade pendant? That jade pendant must be of some use!

"Why are you so stupid?" Liu Yuan knocked on her head, "The people around Zhou Yun'er deliberately went to sell this dragon-patterned jade pendant, it must be because she doesn't have this jade pendant!" ”

"But—"

"Both jade pendants and birthmarks can symbolize the identity of the county lord, and neither of them can be enough. Zhou Yun'er probably sent someone to inquire after coming to the capital, and then she learned that the Liu family had two other dragon-patterned jade pendants. Liu Yuandao.

"There are three pieces of this jade pendant, the first one is made separately, and it is different from the other two pieces in terms of color and carving. The first jade pendant, the first emperor has given it to the five princes, and finally fell into the hands of the county lord. The second and third pieces are made by the same master and made of the same piece of jade, and they are very similar in terms of color and carving, and those who know a little can see it at a glance. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the jade pendant in the brocade box, "I just showed the third jade pendant to the executive's family, if he guessed correctly, he should have recognized this jade pendant as the one in Zhou Yun'er's hand." ”

Qin Lian was a little dizzy, Liu Yuan explained to her in a good-natured manner, and she suddenly realized!

"I see! If Zhou Yun'er was the true county lord, what she was holding in her hand should be the first jade pendant, not the second one! Zhou Yun'er and her mother knew that her daughter didn't have a dragon pattern jade pendant at all, so she secretly bought another jade pendant for her. ”

"yes, that's what it means."

Liu Yuan smiled, with a fierce look in his eyes, "The executive is a smart person, when I take out the jade pendant and tell him the origin of the jade pendant, he should know that the county lord who has been retrieved may be a fake." ”

Qin Lian frowned, "If the executives really find out that Zhou Yun'er is impersonating, will they really drive Zhou Yun'er away?" ”

How could she think things weren't that simple?

Zhou Yun'er can be so arrogant in the capital, it is precisely because of the support of the Five Princes' Mansion, if she really knew that Zhou Yun'er was impersonating, would the Five Princes' Mansion drive people away?

"These things, let's discuss them later, anyway, the Five Princes Mansion won't let it develop like this." Liu Yuan calmed down, "Sooner or later, this matter will reach the ears of the fifth princess, and in order to block this matter, the fifth princess will definitely have to put a lot of thought into it." ”

Qin Lian thought that it was the same thing, but she was still uneasy in her heart.

Xiao Er pushed the door in at this time and served the cooked dishes one by one.

After the two of them finished eating, they left the store, and as soon as they went out, a biting cold wind blew, Qin Lian shivered, and suddenly thought of something.

She took Liu Yuan's hand and said anxiously, "The jade pendant was sold from your store, and if the fifth princess wants to settle accounts, she should also go to you!" ”
