This jade pendant looks a little strange. At first glance, it seems to be a jade pendant, but if you look closely, you can easily find that the texture of this "jade pendant" is unusual. It looks as delicate as jade and as hard as granite. Take it

For a moment, Mu Liuyun couldn't guess what kind of material it was, so he thought it was just a piece of "jade".

Mu Liuyun looked at the jade pendant in his hand and saw that the pattern carved on it seemed to be a tiger's head, but it did not exactly resemble a tiger. It looked majestic and very ferocious, which showed that the carving was extraordinary.

Other than that, there's nothing special about it, and the connections above are just average.

"This is also my father's treasure?" The jade pendant is engraved with a beast. Of course it cannot be Mrs. Mu's. There is no serious male master in the family except myself, who is pretending to be a man. This thing can only be

It belongs to the father I have never met.

Mrs. Mu took the jade pendant from Mu Liuyun's hand, held it in her hand, looked at it again and again, gently rubbed the jade pendant with her hand, and sighed slowly for a while: "Yes, this jade pendant is the same as the one you are holding.

That sword was a treasure that your father didn't allow others to touch casually! You had to take it with you every time you went out, and you had to put it away properly when you came home.

I don’t know why he always puts on such a precious jade pendant every time he goes away. I have also advised him, telling him that his wealth should not be revealed, and the more he goes out, the less likely he is to wear these annoying things.

If the jade pendant was expensive, it would be better to just stay at home and play with it, but he refused and told me not to interfere.

I don’t know the reason, but your father has always done things safely, and since he said it’s not easy for me to ask about this matter, I won’t ask.”

"In that case, why is this jade pendant abandoned at home and hidden in your room?" Mu Liuyun felt a little puzzled. Since his father never left this thing every time he went out, why was it unusual for him to buy something when he went out for the last time?

"The last time your father went out, he left in a hurry. It was still some time before he left, but then he received a letter, so he hurriedly packed his bags and set off early. He didn't bring his sword or jade pendant, so he left them all behind.

At home." Mrs. Mu hadn't recalled the events of that year for a long time, and she mentioned it coldly, feeling a little sad, "Who would have thought that there would be no trace of her after she left..."

Mrs. Mu sniffed, holding the handkerchief and gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When Mu Liuyun was born, Master Mu had already disappeared. When she grew up to the age where she could remember, everyone in the second and third bedrooms considered her father to be dead and no longer alive. As for her father, she was

I didn't have any impression at all, so I couldn't feel any sadness at all. Just watching my mother cry made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mom, after so many years, I really haven't seen anyone alive..." She struggled for a while, but still couldn't bear to tell the whole story.

Mrs. Mu wiped her eyes and sighed: "If you ask me about my true feelings, as long as I don't see your father's body for a day, I am willing to believe that he is still alive, but for some reason, he cannot come home to reunite with us.

But... after all, twenty years have passed, and I can't think of anything that can keep a person alive but unable to return home... That's all! Let's not talk about this! Even if it is just a thought from the bottom of my heart, I am still willing to believe it.

Your father is alive."

Mu Liuyun also sighed. Growing up, she had actually asked her mother similar questions more than once. Her mother had always been hesitant and evasive in the past, but today was the most candid one. Mu Liuyun never thought that in twenty years

The past has passed, and my mother still cannot forget her father, who has not heard from her and whose life and death are unknown.

Having been raised as a boy since she was a child, Mu Liuyun has already understood her situation, so she has never allowed herself to have any romantic thoughts. She cannot allow herself to pretend to be a man and marry a house of women, and then stay there in the cold as a widow.

, just to give myself a so-called normal reputation, and not to have any entanglements with other men, so what love is is really unfamiliar.

Although Mu Liuyun was always eloquent when deciding cases, now faced with her mother's inseparable relationship with her father, she couldn't think of how to comfort her.

Fortunately, Mrs. Mu is not the kind of person who is full of sorrow. She shed a few tears when she touched sad things, and soon cheered up again. She took the jade pendant in her hand and rubbed it a few more times, and said to Mu

Liu Yun said: "I have also thought that these two things are probably your father's amulets or something like that. Otherwise, why did everything work well in the past, but happened to be in a hurry to go out that time and didn't bring these two things with me? What happened?

Nothing happened, no news.

So when you were a child, you fell into a river and almost got into trouble. Fortunately, you were discovered early, rescued, and sent home. I took out this thing and wanted to take it with you. Bless you.

You are safe.

But then I thought about it, and I didn't dare to do that. Your father is a real man, but you... So I'm also afraid that if this thing can only be used by men, and women wear it, it will cause trouble, so I

I didn’t dare to do that.”

Mu Liuyun took the jade pendant from his mother's hand and carefully put it back into the brocade bag, then stuffed the brocade bag back into the box: "We don't know the origin of this jade pendant now. We only know that he cared about it most before.

Among the two objects, one is exactly the same as Yuan Tixing's, and Mr. Yuan is the prince in the capital. The prince uses the same sword as a tea merchant in Taiping County who has been missing for twenty years... This is somewhat strange.

Weird."

"Have you ever asked Master Yuan about the origin of his sword?" Mrs. Mu asked Mu Liuyun.

"Mom, you really think too highly of me when you say that." Mu Liuyun smiled bitterly, "Master Yuan and I, even if we don't talk about the difference between clouds and mud, we are still the same in the sky and on the earth. No matter what you use to take advantage of, it doesn't matter who you are.

Let me go and find out."

"That's true..." Mrs. Mu felt that her daughter's words made sense, "Forget it, this matter doesn't have much to do with us at all. Maybe it's just a similarity! And what's fashionable in the capital has always been popular outside.

Everyone followed suit, maybe your father went out to buy goods and saw that the nobles in the capital were using this style, so he made a copy!"

"Well, mother is right!" Mu Liuyun put the things back into the secret compartment under Mrs. Mu's bed one by one, and helped her lay the mattress again, tidying it up so that no trace of movement could be seen. "These things
