Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 253 Jade Pendant, Why Does She Have It?

"Mom, Nianran doesn't know what she did wrong to make dad unhappy. I haven't had enough food and clothes in the countryside these years, but I have no complaints in my heart. Today, when I saw these clothes and jewelry, I was worried that my sister would be cheated, so I reminded her. I didn't expect that this would be trouble in dad's eyes. Since dad doesn't like me so much, you should send me back to the countryside! That little bit of suffering is nothing compared to dad's misunderstanding!" Humph, it's just acting, who can't do it?

"Enough! Master, It was You Ran who said she had prepared something for her sister. Look at what they brought over. The servants in the house won't use these!" Chen shook her sleeves and shouted angrily.

"Madam, Youran grew up in our care, how could she do such a thing? The maid just admitted that she made a mistake. Maybe she took the jewelry by mistake as well. Just take it back and change it." Shen Wenting didn't care. Even if it was a servant's clothes, what was wrong? The clothes of the country people were not as good as this!

"It's all my fault. I didn't open it when I got it. I'll go back and prepare it again. Sister, don't be angry. Please forgive me this time." Shen Youran ran to Yao Qingnian with tears in her eyes and said pitifully.

"Sister, how can you see that I'm angry? I'm just kindly reminding you. This time it was clothes and jewelry, but I don't know what it will be next time. Fortunately, I opened it and took a look today, otherwise if I took it back and saw such things, I would have misunderstood my sister, and my parents would have said that I was ignorant." Yao Qingnian didn't buy her tricks. She said what she had to say and after the people left, she would find time to slip away at night. She didn't want to stay in this crappy Shangshu Mansion for even a minute.

"Sister..." Shen Youran wanted to say something.

"Okay, I'm tired, you all go back!" Chen Shuhua was annoyed by the noise and ordered everyone to go away.

Only then did Shen Wenting take Shen Youran away.

After they all left, only Chen Shuhua and her maids and servants were left. Chen Shuhua spoke softly to comfort them, "Nianran, I'm sorry you've been wronged. You just came back, and your father is still a little uncomfortable with it. He'll be fine once he gets used to it."

"..." Yao Qingnian didn't know what to say and could only smile awkwardly.

This large mansion was a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones. Yao Qingnian didn't want to stay any longer and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Mrs. Shen..." Yao Qingnian was just about to tell Shen Nianran that she was not Shen Nianran.

"My child, are you still blaming your parents for abandoning you in the countryside all these years? I have no choice, please don't blame me, okay? I'll return this jade pendant to you, keep it well." Nian Ran must still be blaming her, otherwise why would he call her Madam Shen...

Chen Shuhua handed the jade pendant to Yao Qingnian. This jade pendant should have been taken out by Linglong yesterday to prove her identity.

Yao Qingnian glanced at it and felt that it was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. When she took it and looked at it, the word "Nian" engraved on it reminded Yao Qingnian immediately. Wasn't this jade pendant the same as the one in her own space? It was the jade pendant that she had received as a dowry.

"Where did this jade pendant come from?"

"Silly child, isn't this jade pendant something you've been carrying with you since you were a child?"

"I mean, where did the jade pendant come from? How did it end up on me?"

"This was the full moon gift that your mother prepared for you. But before I could celebrate, the abbot made a prediction about your fate. In the end, I had no choice but to give the jade pendant to Linglong's mother and ask her to give it to you to keep with you."

"Is there only one of this jade pendant?" Yao Qingnian was sure that this jade pendant was the same as his own.

"Your jade pendants are a pair, and there is also a pair of bracelets. Your brother also has one. I remember this very clearly. At that time, your brother was still young. When he saw the words engraved on your jade pendant, he insisted on having the same one. In the end, I couldn't persuade him, so I had to engrave the same jade pendants for both of you. You also get one bracelet each."

"Is this it?" Yao Qingnian took out the bracelet from the space.

"Yes, that's it. I didn't expect you still kept it." Chen Shuhua held the bracelet and thought of the little person waving his little hands back then. She felt even more guilty.

Yao Qingnian was stunned. What was going on? Why did she have Shen Nianran’s things?

"Where's Big Brother?"

"Your eldest brother has gone traveling around the world, and we don't know when he will be back. But mother has already sent someone to send a message to him. I believe it won't be long before he receives the news and rushes back." Chen Shuhua looked at Yao Qingnian lovingly.

Yao Qingnian originally wanted to take advantage of the situation at the beginning, tell Chen Shuhua that she was not her daughter, and then leave and do whatever she had to do. How could this... have anything to do with her? In order to understand the truth of the matter, she decided to stay and figure it out.

Since they are a couple, something must have happened between them. Why does she have one and Shen Nianran also has one? Shen Nianran's elder brother is the key figure in this. It seems we have to think about this carefully.

At this moment, Chen Shuhua didn't care whether Shen Wenting and Shen Youran were happy or not. She was busy choosing clothes and jewelry for Yao Qingnian. She wanted to find all the beautiful clothes in the capital for her. Many young ladies from official families would hesitate to buy one or two pieces of fashionable clothes and jewelry in the capital. However, in Shen Nianran's room, all kinds of clothes were hung in the cabinets, which showed how much Chen Shuhua valued her daughter. Yao Qingnian remained silent for the time being and stayed in the Shangshu Mansion as Shen Nianran.

Aunt Song beside Chen Shuhua smiled and praised: "Young lady is as beautiful as a flower. She looks good in anything she wears."

"Yes, ma'am, the young lady is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." The maid in the room echoed.

Yao Qingnian was speechless. Although she looked good, she knew it was not so exaggerated. These people were really lying with their eyes open.

Chen Shuhua was extremely satisfied. She selected a set and asked Yao Qingnian to put it on. She also asked the maid and old woman to help her dress up and put on makeup.

After finishing her makeup and changing into the clothes chosen by Chen Shuhua, Yao Qingnian came out of the inner room, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"The young lady's eyebrows and eyes are 70% similar to those of the lady when she was young, like a fairy."

Chen Shuhua's eyes turned red: "She's so pretty, she looks like my daughter."

"Well, where is Sister Linglong?" This maid has been with Shen Nianran since she was a child, so she should know something.

"Linglong is injured. I asked someone to call a doctor to see her. Don't worry, she is fine. Let her serve you when she gets better. By the way, why didn't the maid your father sent to pick you up come back with you? Why are there only you and Linglong, and you are injured?" Chen Shuhua asked with concern.

"We met men in black on the road. The old woman and the coachman were killed. Only sister Linglong and I escaped." Yao Qingnian only knew a little about it after hearing Linglong mention it.

"How could this happen!" Chen Shuhua was shocked. Men in black? Her poor daughter, she didn't even know about this. If the master hadn't stopped her, she would have gone to pick her up in person.

"Well, I'll tell you slowly later." Worried about exposing the secret if he said too much, Yao Qingnian decided to talk to Linglong first.

"Okay, you just came back, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to talk to mother later. Come on, follow me to pay respect to your grandmother first."
