"I took your brother to the hospital and stayed with him for three days and nights before his fever finally went down. Once he was completely well, I went looking for you but found no clues. Disappointed, I had no choice but to take your brother back to Beijing."
"Given that we were taken away when you ca, how could you be sure my brother was the one you were looking for?"
Jiang Xue voiced her doubts, and Lu Zheng laughed, saying, "To tell the truth, I really have to credit your mother’s cleverness. The swaddle she made for your brother was actually from the fabric I gifted them. I recognized it imdiately."
"Just based on a piece of fabric? What if the child was swapped? Was Uncle Lu not worried at all?"
"Who said I wasn’t worried? I was indeed concerned about having the wrong child at first. Luckily, as your brother grew, he began to resemble your parents more and more, so I was convinced, and completely at ease."
"From then on, I secretly sent people to search for you. I thought, since your brother looks like your parents, you ought to resemble them too. However, after sending your brother’s portrait out, there was no news at all."
After voicing her concerns, Jiang Xue didn’t linger in the study. She took the box Lu Zheng had given her and went downstairs.
Holding the box was rather inconvenient, so Jiang Xue directly placed it inside her space as she reached the stairway.
Seeing Jiang Xue return, Mu Qiancheng smiled slightly and continued playing with Little Reunion.
Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng stayed at the Lu Family for the morning and went back after dinner. Mr. Mu went with them, intending to visit them at their residence.
Since Mr. Mu had a car, Jiang Xue didn’t ask Lu Jintian to see them off and directly took Mr. Mu’s car back.
Returning to their residence, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng settled Mr. Mu into the guest room for a rest and then went back to their room. Back in their room, Jiang Xue soothed Little Reunion to sleep before talking to Mu Qiancheng about the item Lu Zheng had given her in the study.
"Xue’er, since this was left to you by your parents, you should keep it well," Mu Qiancheng said, handing the box back to Jiang Xue after looking at the gemstone.
These items were beautiful; perhaps they could be fashioned into jewelry soday. But for now, they weren’t needed. After seeing the jewels, Mu Qiancheng couldn’t help but think of the treasures at the bottom of the Xu City Forest Park lake.
Previously, due to lack of ti and the things being difficult to retrieve, they never took anything out from the Water Monster’s cavern.
Back then, they only managed to take a single Water-Repelling Pearl from there; all the other items were left untouched.
No one knew exactly what treasures were inside. If given a chance, he truly wanted to retrieve them all.
After returning the items to Jiang Xue, Mu Qiancheng took her for a nap. Waking up and realizing it was still early, he decided to take Jiang Xue and Little Reunion out for so fun. Since they rarely ca to Beijing, he couldn’t just keep them indoors all day long.
Previously, due to lack of ti, he let things be, but now, with so free ti, he could take them out to stroll around.
Having decided to go out, Mu Qiancheng asked Mr. Mu if he wanted to join them, but he didn’t want to and cited his inability to walk well as the reason.
Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue didn’t insist, leaving Mr. Mu and Housekeeper Lin at ho as the three of them went out. Jiang Xue had already heard from Lu Jintian about many interesting places in Beijing and was quite eager about visiting the historical sites.
