Chapter 220 - 220 Jade Pendant

220 Jade Pendant

Ning Yue knew very well that these things could not be rushed. She could only influence them bit by bit.

Yuan Hui nodded in agreement. “You’re right. If you want to change the minds of a group of people, you can only start from a young age and influence them bit by bit.”

“By the way, Yueyue, I’ve always wanted to ask you. Are you and Jiang Ying really in love? Could it be because of an imperial edict from the emperor of the Great Yun Nation?” Yuan Hui asked.

“No, no, no. Of course not. It can’t be said that it’s not at all.” Ning Yue frowned. She didn’t know how to explain it to Yuan Hui.

“If you feel aggrieved, tell me. I think with my status as the emperor of Russia, it’s very easy for me to help you call off the engagement,” Yuan Hui said.

“There’s no need. Actually, I quite like Jiang Ying.” At the mention of Jiang Ying, Ning Yue’s lips curled into a smile.

“Don’t be like that little girl who’s blinded by love. How is this man? Have you considered it?” Yuan Hui’s frown deepened.

These days, he had also wanted to see what kind of man Jiang Ying was and if he was worthy of Ning Yue’s liking.

“Don’t worry. If he’s not my ideal man, I can stop the damage in time. I’ve been thinking about him these days. He’s very kind and also a person who hates evil. Moreover, we have common interests and topics of conversation. We like each other.”

So they liked each other. Yuan Hui stopped talking about this topic.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ning Yue holding a jade pendant. Yuan Hui’s expression changed and he hurriedly pointed at Ning Yue’s hand and asked, “Where did you get this jade pendant?”

“This jade pendant?” Ning Yue opened her hand and showed Yuan Hui the jade pendant.

“Dragon-Patterned Jade Pendant!” Yuan Hui was shocked.

It was really a dragon pattern jade pendant! He had been looking for it for many years!

“Is this jade pendant called a dragon pattern jade pendant? Does it have any special meaning?” Ning Yue asked in confusion.

“This is the jade pendant that the previous emperor gave to the original owner and his sister. His sister disappeared when she was young, and this jade pendant disappeared. The original owner has been looking for the jade pendant and his sister for many years, but he couldn’t find them. Why is this jade pendant with you?”

“This belongs to my grandfather. I’ve seen it since I was young. When did your sister disappear?” Ning Yue asked.

“About ten years ago. I still have to think about the details. If I hadn’t seen the jade pendant with you, I would have forgotten about it. However, now that I have a clue, as a reward for using this body, I will find his sister for the original owner.”

“Let me tell you, even if my grandfather has this jade pendant, he might not have the clues you want.” Ning Yue sighed.

“I know, so I’ll have to trouble you to help me ask what’s going on,” Yuan Hui said anxiously.

“I was just about to return the jade pendant to Grandpa. Wait, I’ll go to the river to take a look,” Ning Yue said.

Other than going to the workshop, Old Master Ning usually liked to go fishing by the river. It was already past time to go to the workshop. He should be fishing, right?

After thinking for a moment, Ning Yue said to Yuan Hui, “Wait a moment. I’ll ask now. I’ll tell you the results later. Don’t tell anyone about this yet.”

Yuan Hui nodded. “I want you to not tell your grandfather about the jade pendant for now. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell anyone.”

Ning Yue nodded, picked up the jade pendant, and went to the river to look for Old Master Ning.

“Grandpa, Grandpa!” Ning Yue saw Old Master Ning fishing by the river in a straw hat from afar.

Old Master Ning turned around and saw Ning Yue waving at her.

Ning Yue sat beside Old Master Ning and handed him the jade pendant.

Old Master Ning was stunned. He put down his fishing rod and took the jade pendant with trembling hands. “Where did you get this?” Old Master Ning asked.

“Grandpa, I was about to return to my room when I passed by the door of your room and saw the jade pendant there. I happened to be free, so I brought it over to you,” Ning Yue said.

Old Master Ning put the jade pendant into his pocket as if it was a treasure. “It almost disappeared.”

It was obvious that the jade pendant was very important to Old Master Ning.
