Chapter 227
Zhao Jia defended himself loudly: "I found the unicorn jade pendant and just lent it to them. When the treasure map is found, I will ask them to return it."
"What have you lost again? I don't understand, how did I harm someone! Auntie, you can't just give me a high hat!"
Since his maidservant was useless, Zhao Jia had no choice but to defend himself.
Chang Xi saw that she was stubborn and not shedding tears when she saw the coffin, so she took a deep breath and said to her.
"Okay, you just trust others like that, right?"
"I'll give you a chance to see clearly whether your so-called friend is a human or a ghost?!"
She turned her eyes to Cao Jingxiu: "Although I don't know what is the meaning of the unicorn jade pendant and why others want to get it, but the other party has spent so much effort, they will definitely not give up if they don't get it."
Cao Jingxiu quickly understood what Chang Xi meant, and he explained with a deadpan expression: "It's the status symbol left by my mother when I was born."
This time, Chang Xi narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Recalling what Cao Jingxiu had confided to himself before, it is not difficult to guess that this unicorn jade pendant was brought by the original family.
There must be something in him that others covet.
Hearing the status symbol, the face of the Cao family changed drastically.
Zhao Jia's eyes widened in horror. He was adopted, but his family did not find out his real parentage.
"What does this mean?"
"Cousin, have you found your family?"
"How is this possible? What does this have to do with it? It's just a jade pendant. Everyone will have many jade pendants in their lifetime. It's just a dead thing. What can it prove?"
Zhao Jia's restless thoughts and seeds of doubt were finally planted in her heart at this moment.
What kind of jade pendant is used to find treasure maps and marriage stones, and what kind of jade pendant symbolizes identity, no matter which one it is, it is bizarre enough. The two parties say different things, and one of them is always lying.
Who is lying to himself?
Based on their relationship for so long, Chang Xi unconditionally chose to believe in Cao Jingxiu, and she showed an extremely cruel smile.
The corners of the mouth were raised, with a slight arc, and said to Zhao Jia: "You are so pitiful, you don't know that you are being used."
Her next words were like a sentence: "You are helping outsiders deal with Cao Jingxiu."
Zhao Jia couldn't accept such a statement, she clutched her temples, squatted on the ground humblely under Chang Xi's fierce eyes, thinking about it.
"I don't know anything, I really don't know."
Chang Xi sneered again and again: "It is precisely because you don't know anything, and you pretend to be smart, and you have impure little thoughts in your heart, that you will be taken advantage of by those who want to!"
"If I were a bad person, I would give priority to people like you, who are stupid and easy to play with."
This sentence was hated enough that even Cao Jingxiu raised his eyebrows on his calm and handsome face when he heard it.
"The words are not rough."
Although the words are too straightforward, but the truth is so.
"Zhao Jia, you'd better tell the truth about everything you know, otherwise I don't want you as a cousin."
To cut off all contact with her is unacceptable to Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia, who was still struggling and unwilling to betray his friend, nodded intimidated by this sentence.
The shoulders twitched: "I said, I said!"
What follows is the narration by Zhao Jia alone.
From how they got to know this person to how they met not long ago, Cao Jingxiu and Chang Xi's indifferent expressions and tight lip lines finally showed signs of loosening.
"You mean, their people still live in the town?"
"That's right. She said that her confidant lives in Manxianglou, but she lives elsewhere. You don't need to look for her deliberately. Once you get the jade pendant, you can go directly to see her confidant."
"This..." Chang Xi felt a little more speculation in his heart.
When a person keeps emphasizing one thing, maybe it's just a cover?
Isn't there a saying in the world that it is dark under the lamp?
As Zhao Jia said, the woman instilled such thoughts in her, is it conceivable that she may also live in Manxianglou?
When Chang Xi raised his eyes again, he bumped into Cao Jingxiu's pupils.
"you"
Cao Jingxiu looked at her and said, "Xibao, what do you think?"
"How do you know, do I have any ideas?" Chang Xi asked with a smile, with a playful tone.
Cao Jingxiu was not polite, and even said firmly: "Having your own ideas is the Changxi I know."
Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Da have been listening for so long.
They are elderly people, how can they not understand the twists and turns, it must be more complicated than what they heard now.
The old lady gave Chang Xi an encouraging look: "My good boy, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it. Jing Xiu suggested that you stay, so you won't be suspicious."
Only then did Chang Xi say: "Why don't Ms. Zhao get hurt and cooperate with us?"
"What's the matter?" Zhao Jia blinked his big, ignorant eyes.
The color of confusion deepened in her eyes.
She hooked her lips and smiled lightly: "Miss Zhao led her to show up and said that the unicorn jade pendant was found, but there was a problem."
"What's the problem?" Zhao Jia didn't turn his mind.
"Any problem, missing a corner, only half a piece, you ask to meet her and discuss it."
"After the appointment, Ms. Zhao's mission will be considered complete."
"At that time, my master will naturally be by my side. I believe you will know whether your friend is a human or a ghost."
Zhao Jia was really moved, she put her cousin on top of her heart.
If someone really dared to take advantage of her admiration for her cousin and do things that hurt him.
There is no need for her cousin and the local girl to be nagging, she will cut off the robe and break the heart with her own hands, and give her some flair.
Under a rigorous plot, it was on New Year's Eve.
Zhao Jia came to Manxianglou pretending to be calm and left a letter.
As the most inconspicuous person, Chang Sanshi entered the arrival letter through the back door of the restaurant and got some news again.
At the appointed time, a group of people ambushed all around.
Zhao Jia took her personal maid, wearing a cloak and holding a hand stove, and came to the agreed place ahead of time to wait.
According to what was said in advance, her expression was always anxious, and she kept pacing left and right, looking restless.
I didn't deliberately look at the hidden points of the crowd.
When the woman arrived with her confidant maid Xiaohong, she showed quite dissatisfaction with Zhao Jia.
"What happened to your letter?"
"As the letter said, the jade pendant is broken." Zhao Jia replied cautiously. In fact, he was so frightened that he secretly raised his eyes to observe the woman's reaction.
The woman waved her hand impatiently: "Don't be naughty, show me the unicorn jade pendant first."
As soon as she received the news, she sent a letter back to the capital by flying pigeons.
I came to the appointment today just to see Yupei's true face.
After all, the third lady told her important things, she must have seen the pattern of the old thing long ago.
Zhao Jia has no jade pendant at all, and her waist is empty.
