Chapter 113 Jade Pendant
Meng Nan followed Mrs. Bai into the room and watched her take out a small box from the locked large wooden box. The small box was also locked, and both locks were hung around her neck.
When the old lady took out the key from her neck, she pulled out the jade pendant hanging on her neck. The jade pendant was not an ordinary object, and its shape was very unique. It must have come from the hands of a skilled craftsman. The jade pendant he carries is also incomparable.
How could such a poor family have such a good thing?
The old lady hurriedly stuffed the jade pendant back into the collar. He didn't move, seeing her first open the big wooden box and then take out the small box.
Meng Nan turned around and said, "Come out with the box."
Back in the courtyard, Meng Nan asked Bai Fugui next to Bai Erzhu in front of everyone, "Have you seen this box of your grandma? Or opened it?"
How often did Bai Fugui see Master Guan, and he didn't expect Master Guan to talk to him suddenly, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
Bai Erzhu hurriedly said: "My mother has always kept this box. It has been locked for many years, and I have never touched it. Not to mention wealth, this matter has nothing to do with wealth. Sir, please don't wrong a good person."
Meng Nan said: "I didn't say that this has anything to do with him. I just want to know some things, why are you excited?"
Bai Erzhu said: "Sir, my mother is keeping this key, she never leaves her body, and I have never even seen this money box."
Mrs. Bai faintly felt that something was wrong, but she hadn't turned her head around yet, and she hadn't figured out what was wrong.
Bai Zhi and Hu Feng smiled at the same time, it seems that the case has been understood by Meng Nan.
Meng Nan nodded and said to the old lady Bai: "I just watched you open the box with my own eyes, including this money box, the locks are all intact, and the key is kept by you, so what exactly is your money? lost?"
The old lady Bai was anxious, and pointed her finger at Bai Zhi subconsciously: "It's her, it must be her, when the family was not separated, she often worked in the big house, and also came to my room to clean, besides her, she also who?"
Meng Nan said: "What do you mean, Bai Zhi has the ability to take things from the air? Your box is obviously locked, and the key is on you. If she doesn't have this ability, how can she take the money from your box?"
"This, this—I don't know how she did it, but it must be her, it must be her."
Meng Nan's face turned cold, and he said solemnly, "Open the box."
The old lady Bai shook her hand to touch the rope around her neck, and then pulled out the jade pendant that was tucked into her neckline.
The jade pendant exudes a touch of lustrous luster in the sun, the smiling Buddha's face is clearly visible, and the bright red between the fingers is very eye-catching.
When Zhao Lan saw this jade pendant, her complexion immediately changed, and her hand hanging by her side immediately clenched into a fist.
Hu Feng, who was standing beside Hu Changlin, also saw this Fang Yupei. When he saw this Fang Yupei, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.
So familiar, this jade pendant seems to have been seen before.
But even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of anything.
Old lady Bai tucked the jade pendant into her neck, held the small key with shaking hands, and took a long time to open the box.
The box is small, about the size of Meng Nan's palm.
He took the box from the old lady Bai's hand and looked into the box. There were only a few scattered pieces of silver and a few strings of copper in the box.
