A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 231 - 231 Puzzlement

231 Puzzlement

No matter what this matter was, it would come to an end for the time being. Ning Yue still had other things to do.

She was busy with the brewery and oil press. Recently, there had been more orders. She had to supervise them personally to ensure that the quantity did not fall behind the quality.

Even if Jiang Ying came to look for her, he might not be able to find her. Although he would be depressed, he had no choice. He could only look for Xiaobao and Xiaobei.

After about half a month, an unfamiliar visitor arrived at Ning Yue’s house.

As soon as he arrived, he directly said that he wanted to look for Old Master Ning. However, Old Master Ning was busy in the oil press. Coincidentally, Ning Yue did not go out today, so she received this guest.

“May I know your name?” Ning Yue asked.

“My name is Eagle. You should be the heiress of Prince Jin, Princess Mingyue, right?” Eagle asked.

When Ning Yue heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that this person had done his homework before coming and knew everyone in the Ning family.

“Yes, I’m Princess Mingyue. Why are you here?” Ning Yue asked indifferently.

This person’s attitude was a little subtle. He was respectful to her, but not too respectful.

His tone towards her was considered respectful, but his eyes were unyielding when he spoke.

Unyielding? Was this person’s identity also not simple?

Just as Ning Yue was thinking about these words, the person said, “I’m a brother of Wu Chang. I’m his biological brother. I’m here to take away his belongings.”

When Ning Yue heard this, she frowned fiercely. Did this person mean that he was here to take away the dragon pattern jade pendant from the Wu Chang?

“Originally, I shouldn’t stop you from taking your brother’s belongings, but as far as I know, that dragon pattern jade pendant isn’t part of your brother’s belongings,” Ning Yue said.

Eagle frowned. He sized up Ning Yue with a scrutinizing gaze.

“How did you know that the jade pendant was called the dragon pattern jade pendant?” he asked instead of answering.

“You don’t have to care where I found out. Just tell me if that’s the case,” Ning Yue said.

“No matter what, it’s indeed my brother’s relic. As his biological brother, it’s my duty and responsibility to bring his relic back to my hometown to bury it.” Eagle didn’t seem to want to give in.

“Since you know that I know the name of that jade pendant, you should know that not everyone knows the name of the jade pendant. Before that, shouldn’t you ask the owner of the jade pendant if the jade pendant can be handled like this?” Ning Yue said coldly.

Ning Yue’s words almost asked Eagle to ask Yuan Hui what to do with the jade pendant. She believed that he should understand what needed to be understood.

“No matter what, that’s my brother’s relic. I have to take it away. You’d better give me the jade pendant today,” Eagle said coldly.

“To be honest, the owner of the jade pendant is also staying at my house. Why don’t you ask him?” Ning Yue said.

Eagle’s expression darkened. He did not expect Yuan Hui to also be staying at Ning Yue’s house. He was thinking about what Yuan Hui meant.

Since Yuan Hui was already living here, why didn’t she just take the jade pendant out instead of making him come here? Wasn’t this unnecessary?

“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you to call the owner of the jade pendant over,” Eagle said.

At this point, Ning Yue roughly understood that Yuan Hui had come to take the jade pendant.

She sighed. Since Yuan Hui wanted the jade pendant, why didn’t he go through her?

For some reason, Ning Yue could only get someone to call Yuan Hui over.

Not long after instructing the servants, Yuan Hui arrived. Only three minutes passed.

When Yuan Hui saw the eagle, he immediately knew what was going on. He did not explain further.

“I originally wanted to tell you later, but I didn’t expect Eagle to bump into you. Since you’ve bumped into each other, I’ll tell you the whole story. I was indeed the one who asked Eagle to come to your house to ask for the jade pendant, but I planned to let him ask your grandfather for it directly. I didn’t expect to bump into you,” Yuan Hui said.

“I can’t understand what you’re doing. Since you know me, why don’t you ask me for it?” Ning Yue frowned.

That jade pendant belonged to the royal family of Russia. She would think of a way to get her grandfather to give up the jade pendant. Why did Yuan Hui do such an unnecessary thing?
