Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 139
"This..." Just like what Mu Qingwan said, this jade pendant is not something to be shady, but after the incident of Gu San, it is not easy to explain her origin, so Jinyu could only look at Mu Qingwan.

Mu Qingwan smiled and said: "This is a jade pendant picked up by my fourth sister from the street. It was taken away by the owner, but who would have thought that the owner was too careless, followed us to the countryside, and then took it away. It was left behind, and I haven’t seen him come to pick it up yet.”

"The owner has already come to collect it?" Wei Zhen stretched out his hand towards Jinyu, and Jinyu handed the jade pendant to her unconsciously; Wei Zhen took it over, looked at it carefully, and said, "This is a good piece of jade." Yupei, the owner who came to claim it must be either rich or expensive."

Mu Qingwan smiled and shook her head: "I guessed the same as Miss Eleven, but who would have thought that the owner who came to receive the jade pendant is a young man from a poor family."

"The family is in decline?" Wei Zhen took the jade pendant in his hand and rubbed it with his fingers a few times, "Then—"

"Then what does the owner look like?" Wei Min came up from behind and stood behind Wei Zhen, looking at the jade pendant in her hand.

On Wei Zhen's face, there was an undisguised look of disgust, he threw the jade pendant into Jin Yu's hand, and went to talk to Mu Qingwan about moving the furniture.Wei Min smiled awkwardly at Jinyu, and said, "I also think this jade pendant is pretty, so I asked a few more questions."

Jinyu leaned over slightly, expressing her understanding.

Wei Min also walked to Mu Qingwan's side, and said to Wei Zhen who was pestering Mu Qingwan, "Eleventh Sister, it's fine to vacate the room, don't make so many demands, it's difficult for Third Miss Mu to do."

Wei Zhen glanced at her sideways, and said firmly: "Even if you are not humane, you must ensure that I will meet you as little as possible to avoid bad luck."

"Eleventh Sister, you!" Wei Min heard her say this, tears rolling in his eyes.

What is it that made Wei Zhen say the word "unlucky"?Mu Qingwan was secretly surprised, but she was not in the mood to inquire about the private affairs of the guests, so she could only stand silently by the side, trying to shrink herself into a scene board.

Wei Zhen wandered around the room, seeing that the room was empty inside and out, not even a bench left, he expressed his satisfaction, and went to Mu Qingwan with a smile on his face: "You are quick at handling things, much better than my Seventh Sister gone."

"You two have extraordinary identities, how can I compare with you." Wei Zhen, Wei Min, and Mu Qingwan didn't dare to offend any of them, and hurriedly made a noise, including both of them.

"Following the trend." Wei Zhen snorted and came to a conclusion.

Mu Qingwan could only smile wryly—she just wanted to protect herself and the family, so why would she follow others?Besides, only when she lived to her age would she know that speaking nonsense to others is a sophisticated skill, otherwise, would it be impossible to talk nonsense to others?
Wei Zhen was very picky. Looking at the empty room, she made some suggestions. Fortunately, the person she was targeting was Wei Min, not the Mu family, so she didn't embarrass Mu Qingwan very much, and quickly left with her maid. .

Apart from Jinyu, only Wei Min and Mu Qingwan were left in the room. Wei Min looked at Mu Qingwan, hesitating to speak, but Mu Qingwan was very understanding, and hurriedly asked Jinyu to go out to guard the gate.Wei Min smiled at Mu Qingwan, but the smile was very bitter.Mu Qingwan didn't understand what she meant at all, so she had to wait quietly for her to speak.Wei Min hesitated for a long time before he said, "Third Miss, do you still remember what the person who came to receive the jade pendant looked like?"

ah?Why did you open your mouth and ask Yupei?Does that thing have anything to do with her?Mu Qingwan froze for a moment, and described Gu San's appearance to her truthfully.

Small and thin, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks?Wei Min opened his mouth slightly, and was also taken aback for a moment.

Seeing her like this, Mu Qingwan asked curiously: "Miss Seven, forgive me for asking, could it be this jade pendant, do you recognize it?"

Wei Min was silent for a long time, but slowly shook his head, and said: "I don't recognize it, but I just think it looks familiar. I'll talk about it after I ask my father. In the meantime, I hope Miss Mu San will give the jade pendant Safekeeping."

"That's for sure." Mu Qingwan responded with a full mouth.

Wei Minfu thanked her and went to the east chamber.

At this time, the east chamber was in a mess, maids and women came in and out to move furniture and boxes, Wei Zhen stood under the eaves, watching the progress in person.Wei Min walked over in a hurry, pulled her arm, and said, "Eleventh Sister, I'm busy here, so let's not make trouble, why don't we go to the front and see father."

Wei Zhen shook off her arm, glanced at her, and said, "Look at what father is doing, he must be drinking with the master right now."

Wei Min said anxiously: "You forgot what we are here for? Don't you think it's really sightseeing, eating, drinking and having fun?"

Only then did Wei Zhen reluctantly move his body, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, okay, go, go, go."

Their father Wei Zhenxing, Mr. Wei, really was having a drink with the magistrate of Liang County, Mu Changguang and Bai Cai. The procurement is gone.

Wei Zhenxing was already slightly drunk, took the hot towel handed over by the servant girl, wiped his face, and asked, "Are you settled down? Where's Aunt Gu?"

Wei Zhen glanced at Wei Min, but didn't dare to say anything about moving the house, he just said: "Everything is settled, Aunt Gu is probably resting."

Wei Min didn't mention this, and hurriedly dismissed the servants, lowered his voice and said to Wei Zhenxing: "Father, guess what I found in the backyard of Mu's house!"

She was so excited that even her voice changed a little, Wei Zhenxing looked at her in surprise: "You are a lady from the Marquis's mansion anyway, what can surprise you here?"

Wei Min said anxiously: "Father, it's jade pendant! Tiger pendant!"

Wei Zhenxing didn't realize it for a while: "What did you say?" His thoughts paused for about two or three seconds before he suddenly came alive, grabbed Wei Min's arm, and shouted excitedly: "The tiger pendant is in the backyard of Mu's house? In the backyard of Mu's house? How is this possible? You read that right? What about your elder brother? Where is he?!"

Wei Min's arm hurt from being grabbed, but he didn't dare to break free, so he hurriedly replied to Wei Zhenxing, "Father, the tiger pendant is absolutely true. Eleventh sister also saw it, but I didn't see my elder brother. The third girl’s maid kept it, she said her fourth sister picked it up on the street.”

"Picked it up?" Wei Zhenxing showed disappointment, slowly let go of Wei Min's arm, and muttered, "Why did you pick it up on the street... Could it be that your elder brother lost it?"

Wei Min's arm was aching, and it was not easy to rub it in front of Wei Zhenxing. Enduring the pain, she comforted Wei Zhenxing and said, "Father, the tiger pendant is so important, brother will definitely not lose it." She said as she spoke. Thinking of something, he hurriedly said: "Father, according to the third girl of the Mu family, the owner of the tiger pendant has already come to claim it, but according to her description, the person is neither my eldest brother nor Wei Hai or Linglong."
