Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 67 Marriage (3)
The old lady waved her hand casually for her to come forward.

Gao Lan raised her head to see Yuan Lu, although she was very surprised in her heart, the astonishment on her face disappeared in a flash.

The old lady didn't even look at her, but asked her, "Where's the jade pendant?"

Gao Lan lowered her head and replied: "My daughter has never seen the jade pendant you mentioned, and there is no such thing at home."

The patience of the old lady's last idea was worn out, and she dropped the teacup and pointed at her, "I handed it over to your aunt, so you told me you couldn't find such an important thing?!"

Gao Lan immediately knelt down, "There is no such thing as a jade pendant among the things my aunt handed over to me, mother knows clearly."

The old lady turned her head and told Nanny Sun: "Send someone to search her yard for me, even if you dig three feet, you have to search it for me."

Looking at the old lady's face, Yuan Lu felt that she was really angry, so she shut her mouth and stood quietly.

After Sun Nanny took her away, the old lady scolded again: "Your aunt is unreliable. You can say that such an important thing is gone. Now it's all right. She's going to marry a girl from the Hanlin scholar's family. Don't you Saying that I treated you harshly as a aunt, you have known for so many years that you lived your own life!"

Although Gao Lan was a powerful businessman, she didn't dare to show herself in front of the old lady, she just knelt down with her head down and didn't answer.

Grandma Sun came back half an hour later. She took the maid and mother-in-law to search and searched all over their yard, but she did not find the jade pendant.

The old lady laughed back angrily, patted the table and stood up, "Ask someone to check it! Check it! Can things disappear for no reason?!"

Yuan Lu and Nanny Sun stepped forward to hold her by her side.

The old lady shook off Yuan Lu's hand, leaned on Nanny Sun and said to Yuan Lu, "Go and get the things back for me, if you can't get them back, don't come to see me!"

Yuan Lu said yes, and after taking a look at Gao Lan who was still kneeling, she took the order and resigned.

Yuan Lu returned to her yard and called Mother Lu in first.

Since the old lady Yupei was indeed handed over to the old aunt, it must be the old aunt who didn't have it.Fortunately, the jade pendant was given to them by the Emperor Taizu back then, and the material was precious and easily recognizable.

Yuan Lu asked Mother Lu to go back to the Yuan Mansion, asked her mother Chen to help, and sent a message to Li Dequan outside, asking her to find some people in her dowry shop, so she must find this jade pendant.To the outside world, they only said that there was a thief at home and some jewelry was lost.

There was a pawnshop in Yuan Lu's dowry.Although her mother, the Chen family, was a Miss Hanlin and came from a noble background, Yuan Lu's grandmother's family was in business.Her mother, Mrs. Chen, holds a lot of shops in her hands, and her connections are even more unmatched by her.

It was not until three days later that the news came that the jade pendant had been found, and it had appeared in a pawn shop a few years ago.As for when the time limit came and no one came to redeem it, the jade pendant had already been bought.Things got disconnected here.

When Yuan Lu heard the news, she was so shocked that she almost couldn't speak, it was given by the great grandfather, and the two families exchanged things as a trustworthy thing, so it was taken as a pawn so easily?I heard that it was only 50 taels of silver!This old aunt is really a rascal!
