Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 288 Snow Lady

They welcomed them into the front hall, and then Mrs. Du explained that Du Qian had just left and said he was going on inspection, and she had already asked someone to chase him.

Xiao Jinyao didn't stop him, he was still anxious about this matter.

The two young masters of the Du family, Du Wenxiu and Du Wenxun, accompanied them respectfully, and the eldest daughter-in-law also served tea and snacks very politely.

Xiao Jinyao exposed the jade pendant in his hand intentionally or unintentionally, which made Mrs. Du notice instantly.

"The jade pendant in the prince's hand looks familiar..." she said directly.

Du Wenxiu confirmed it and said, "It seems to be the same as the one on my father's body..."

At this time, the Du family began to speculate as to why this jade pendant was in Xiao Jinyao's hands.

Du Wenxun asked politely: "The prince picked up this jade pendant and found out that it belonged to my father, so he came to return it?"

This idea was also the first thing the Du family thought of.

"I also think this jade pendant is related to Du Shilang, but I still have to ask Du Shilang about some questions."

Although the Du family didn't understand, they still accompanied him very politely.

They repeatedly praised Shu Yunzhao's compassion, and this time he was planning to benefit those soldiers, which was indeed admirable.

Just as he was talking, Master Du Qian rushed back from the dusty outside.

When he saw them, he clasped his fists very politely and said, "I don't know that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are here. It's because Du is being rude and I still want to see Haihan."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the main seat very generously, and after being polite, he wanted to sit down.

At this time, Du Wenxiu reminded: "Father, the prince came here with the jade pendant you were wearing. Didn't you notice that father lost something important?"

When Du Qian heard this, he took a look at Xiao Jinyao's hand. When he saw the familiar jade pendant, his mind faltered, and then he instinctively touched his body.

"Dumou really didn't send..."

Before the word "now" came out of his mouth, he stopped.

There is really no way to say the rest.

He wanted to say that he still had his jade pendant, but the piece in the prince's hand was indeed very similar to his own.

At that moment, a bold idea exploded in his mind.

He hurriedly took out the jade pendant on his body, and sure enough, it was not lost.

When the Du family saw that the jade pendant was intact on his body, they were confused.

What's going on? Isn't it lost?

"Master, this..." Du Qian was a little anxious.

"I came here today because I heard that Du Shilang had the same jade pendant in his hand, and I wanted to find out the origin of this jade pendant..."

Xiao Jinyao's words confirmed most of Du Qian's suspicions.

The Du family members all looked at a loss.

Only Mrs. Du has lived with Du Qian for many years. She has also heard some stories about this jade pendant, so she also thought of something.

She covered her mouth when the bold idea came to her.

No way, is it really that person?

"This jade pendant is the only thought my mother left me when she left me..."

Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao had both heard Du Qian's words before, but they didn't expect to hear another person say it so soon.

Except for Mrs. Du, everyone else in the Du family looked shocked.

Their grandmother?

"The owner of this jade pendant also said something similar..." Xiao Jinyao calmly recounted.

Du Qian was already worried: "Where is he? Is there an old lady beside him?"

Xiao Jinyao shook his head and said: "No, the owner of this jade pendant is only sixteen years old this year. He said that this jade pendant was passed down to him by his father, and it was the only thought his grandmother left for his father. So in these years, even if He had no way to eat enough, so he always relied on various not-so-bright ways to get some food, and he never thought about selling the jade pendant..."

Du Qian was even more moved: "Dead? Is she dead?"

It was as if a pillar in his heart suddenly collapsed, and his whole person became sluggish, without the energy he had at the beginning.

Mrs. Du quickly supported him, and then calmly ordered her servants: "Go and invite the old man over..."

Du Qian glanced at her and nodded at her. This was indeed the way it should be done.

As for the children of the Du family, they couldn't believe the effective information they extracted, and there was no way to connect it.

These two jade pendants were both from their grandmother, and their grandmother had died outside.

Xiao Jinyao was not in a hurry, but waited quietly.

Not long after, the old man of the Du family was invited over. Although he had been recuperating at home for many years, he was also a third-rank retired man in the imperial court, and he also had some prestige in the court.

I heard that his inability to go further was related to a mistake he made when he was young.

When Mr. Du saw them, he also greeted them very steadily. It was obvious that when the servant went to pass the message, he did not explain clearly what was going on.

As a result, he saw Du Qian's face and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Qian'er, what's going on?"

Mr. Du's words were majestic and caring at the same time.

Du Qian looked at Mr. Du and pointed in Xiao Jinyao's direction: "Father, look at what that is?"

When Mr. Du saw the jade pendant in Xiao Jinyao's hand, he was about to scold Du Qian for not keeping it well, when he saw Du Qian holding an identical jade pendant in his hand.

He figured it out at that time and burst into tears instantly: "Snow Lady!"

He rushed over and tried to drag the jade pendant over.

Xiao Jinyao was worried that he would fall, so he took a step forward and said, "Mr. Du, we are here to inquire about this jade pendant today. You don't have to worry."

After saying that, he handed over the jade pendant.

After Mr. Du took the jade pendant in his hand, he looked at it carefully, his expression became more and more heartbroken and full of regret.

"Xue Niang's jade pendant. This is Xue Niang's jade pendant. It is a pair with Qian'er's... Sir, this is my wife's jade pendant. Where is she..."

The questions in his heart were directly answered by Mr. Du, and Xiao Jinyao did not sell out to him: "She is dead, and her son is also dead. The owner of this jade pendant is her grandson."

When he heard that Xue Niang was dead and her son was also dead, Mr. Du was confused.

"Dead? Son? Grandson?"

Obviously, just one sentence and three key points took Mr. Du a long time to digest.

Looking at his sad expression, Du Qian could also conclude that this thing belonged to his mother who had been missing for many years.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, where is the owner of this jade pendant now?"

Xiao Jinyao looked at Mr. Du who had not yet recovered, and then said: "Because of some things, we placed them in a very secret place. If someone who had been a tutor in your house hadn't told us today, that person The jade pendant I saw on my body was also seen by Du Shilang. I am afraid there is no way to connect that person with the Du family. But now that I think about it, he should be a member of your Du family, because of his name They all faced off against the two young masters of the Du family... His name is Du Wenkang."
