Chapter 140 Recognition of relatives
"Master He, I understand your excitement, but as for me, I have lived in Lihua Village for more than ten years and have always believed that I am just the daughter of an ordinary country family. How can I trust you?"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at him as he explained anxiously. In fact, she was already certain in her heart that the original body was He Zhouyun's daughter, but she still asked.
She asked this because she was actually thinking of a jade pendant that her original mother had kept very well. The jade pendant was emerald green in color, with a mandarin duck and half of a "happiness" character carved on it.
Mu Jiaojiao realized that this kind of jade pendant usually comes in a pair, and the one in her hand is only one of the pair.
"When your mother disappeared while pregnant with you, she didn't take anything with her, but I gave her a mandarin duck jade pendant. She used to wear it every day, and I think she was wearing it when she left the Valley of Divine Doctors. I wonder if she has left it to you now?"
After hearing what Mu Jiaojiao said, He Zhouyun thought about it and said to Mu Jiaojiao. In order to increase the credibility of his words, he took out a jade pendant from his waist.
"That jade pendant is similar to this one. It's a token of love between your mother and me."
He Zhouyun was completely convinced that Mu Jiaojiao was his daughter. Although his daughter was not close to him and did not seem to want to recognize him as her father, he still directly called Mu Jiaojiao "mother".
"Master He, please wait a moment."
Mu Jiaojiao looked at it from afar and could tell that this jade pendant was exactly the same as the one in her box, except that the mandarin duck she kept was on the right, while He Zhouyun's mandarin duck was on the left.
She said to He Zhouyun, "Wait a moment," then stood up and walked out of the main hall to get the jade pendant from her and Jiang Jin's main room.
Mu Jiaojiao walked into the main hall with the jade pendant in her hand and handed it to He Zhouyun. She had not yet fully accepted the fact that she had another father, and had not yet considered whether to recognize this father.
But she felt that the jade pendant should be given to He Zhouyun, returning it to its original owner and letting He Zhouyun keep a memory of it, because she had a guess that the Mu Wanqing mentioned by He Zhouyun was most likely no longer alive...
When He Zhouyun saw the jade pendant, he took it from Mu Jiaojiao with trembling hands. Then he took out the jade pendant in his hand and put the two jade pendants together without any gap.
"Late Qing Dynasty..., sixteen years!"
He Zhouyun looked at the two jade pendants in his hand, and his previous forced calmness had now collapsed.
When he saw the jade pendant, he had actually thought that his wife and his late Qing Dynasty might be in danger at this moment.
He still remembered that his Wan Qing had said to him, "Yun Lang, if you don't leave me in this life, I will never abandon you. I will wear this jade pendant for the rest of my life, unless I die."
"Woo woo woo...Late Qing Dynasty!"
Thinking of this, He Zhouyun's eyes turned completely red, and then tears overflowed and he let out a sobbing sound.
Mu Jiaojiao saw this and didn't know what to say for a moment. How could she comfort someone, especially someone who was in the so-called father's role?
"You...you shouldn't cry anymore."
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the handsome middle-aged man who was crying uncontrollably, and after a long while she managed to utter five words.
It's quite embarrassing!
"Oh! Valley Master, you should be happy to see your daughter!"
Meng He, who was standing by, saw his Valley Master crying sadly, and then looked at his young master's face which looked like he didn't know how to comfort him, so he quickly stepped forward and spoke to He Zhouyun.
"I understand that Master He is missing his wife, but please take care of yourself. If your wife knew that you were sad for him, she would not be happy."
Jiang Jin looked at his wife and her apprentice. The words of comfort from the two of them added up to more than ten words. He sighed and spoke out to comfort He Zhouyun.
Jiang Jin knew that his wife was not the real daughter of He Zhouyun, but based on his understanding of his wife, she would probably recognize this adoptive father, which means she would be his future adoptive father-in-law, so he had to appease him.
I have to say, among the three people, at this moment, only Jiang Jin is the most useful.
"Oh, yes, yes, I can't let Wanqing worry about me. I should be happy that my daughter has been found!"
He Zhouyun was wiping his tears while talking, and it looked like he was in tears but forcing a smile.
"Jiaojiao, I...can I call you that?"
He Zhouyun looked at Mu Jiaojiao and saw that she didn't seem to have any expression of joy since he appeared. He was a little unsure of what Mu Jiaojiao was thinking and spoke carefully.
"Yeah, sure."
Mu Jiaojiao actually had complicated feelings. Knowing that this man was her original father was one thing, but now she was facing the challenge of recognizing her as her father was another.
"Hey! Jiaojiao, what a nice name!"
When He Zhouyun heard Mu Jiaojiao agreed, his face was full of joy. He called her Jiaojiao on the spot and praised her immediately. He heard Meng He say that this name was changed by his daughter herself. Her previous name was Mu Xiaocao.
Jiaojiao is a good name change! It sounds nice!
Isn’t Mu Jiaojiao her own daughter Jiaojiao? Isn’t the eldest lady of the Valley of Divine Doctors Jiaojiao?
"Jiaojiao, can you...can you..."
Then He Zhouyun glanced at Mu Jiaojiao and stammered, "Yes or no," but he didn't dare to say the rest.
"Just say what you want to say."
Seeing him like this, looking at her expression and feeling conflicted, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't bear it any longer and said to him.
"Hey! Jiaojiao, can you call me daddy?"
When He Zhouyun heard his daughter say this, he was not polite at all!
He had long been dreaming about the scene of his daughter calling him daddy, even in his dreams.
Mu Jiaojiao: “…………”
The ability of the Divine Doctor Valley to climb up the ladder is probably inherited from the same source, right?
Previously, Meng He built the stairs by herself just to learn medical skills. Now, this cheap father built the stairs again just to trick her into calling him daddy?
"Jiaojiao, is... is it inconvenient? Then you can hold off on..." shouting for now!
"Daddy."
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the handsome middle-aged man with a look of disappointment clearly written on his face, but she couldn't bear it, so she interrupted him and called out "Daddy"!
This name was a little unfamiliar to her, but it didn't seem as difficult as she had imagined to say it.
"Hey! Hahaha...good girl!"
He Zhouyun suddenly heard the voice of "good boy daddy". He was stunned for a few seconds, then happily agreed and laughed out loud.
"Daddy's good daughter!"
Then his eyes filled with tears again, he finally found his daughter.
Wanqing, do you know? I finally found our daughter. I will love her well and let her not suffer anymore.
Jiang Jin, who was standing by, saw that Mu Jiaojiao had just accepted He Zhouyun as he had expected, and he was happy for her.
