C16 Unwilling to Marry
However, the other two people's attention was focused on the box in front of them, so they didn't notice Aunt Luo's abnormality.
Luo Qingchen tossed and turned the jade token in his hands. The last resting place of his line of sight was the iron words, "Shen".
Luo Qingchen looked at it carefully, feeling that it was familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it before. He had no choice but to look elsewhere.
On the jade tablet, there was an animal she had never seen before. It looked like a phoenix, but also like a huge dragon. It was solemn and solemn, ancient and mysterious.
Seeing this, Luo Qingchen could not help but turn to Aunt Luo, "Aunt, what is this? "How come I've never seen it before?"
Aunt Luo followed his gaze and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch that jade plate, but she took it back midway. There was an incomprehensible fear in her eyes.
Fear this jade plate, or fear the person behind it? Luo Qingchen obviously believed in the latter.
"I'm not sure about that. When your grandfather left this thing behind, he only said it was a symbol of his identity. As for who he was and what he was used for, you'll have to find it out for yourselves."
Whether or not Aunt Luo really did not know, since she said so, she was not prepared to tell them the truth today.
Luo Qingchen nodded, then picked up the small box with the lock. "What about the key?" she asked. You can't give it to us either? "
There was a hint of a questioning tone to his words.
Aunt Luo shook her head, looking at her with a pampering gaze. "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, or that I don't have a key. Perhaps …"
Her words came to an end just like that. Her eyes were focused far ahead, past all the obstacles. No one knew where she finally landed.
Her aunt was indeed a person with a lot of stories. It's just that in this world, who doesn't have their own little secret? As long as the aunt's secret didn't hurt the person closest to her, she had no position to force the issue.
Luo Qingchen and Luo Qing looked at each other, and then put away the jade token and the box. Then, their gazes simultaneously fell upon the last opened box.
For some reason, Luo Qingchen was a little nervous. His palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his fingertips were trembling. He took out a small booklet that was smaller than his palm.
Flipping open the title page, there was still the word "Shen" written on it. The force of the brush tip was the same as on the jade token, but it had lost a bit of its sharpness and had an air of calligraphy. Luo Qing Cen seemed to be able to see how the writer was sitting in front of the desk with her brows furrowed and eyes downcast, looking graceful and graceful.
Could their grandfather have written this? But the aunt's surname was Luo, why was the word "Shen" written on it?
Luo Qingchen looked up at his concubine, wanting to ask her a question, but the concubine gave up after two seconds of hesitation.
She had a premonition that even if her aunt knew about this problem, it wouldn't be so simple to tell her.
Therefore, without any reason, a wave of resentment rose in her heart. Since she was unwilling to explain anything, why did she need to make such a big fuss by taking these things out to keep her in suspense?
Luo Qing used more strength to flip the book open, almost splitting the book in half. But when she saw what was written on the booklet, she slowly calmed down.
He quickly flipped through a few pages, and sure enough, they were all of the same nature. Luo Qing Cen was completely stunned as she handed the booklet over to Luo Yan Jing.
Luo Yanqing didn't understand what was going on, so she took it and looked at it. Soon, her face had the same expression as Luo Qingchen's.
Shock, shock, disbelief, yet wild with joy …
In the booklet, there were detailed records of all the business projects, business partners, businesses, shops, and fields that had taken place in the past few years. More importantly, there were also some illegal activities that were clearly stipulated by the House of Peace.
In other words, even if they didn't plan to use these things to suppress Chao Shan, they could still get some benefits for the three of them. At least, they wouldn't have to live such a miserable life in the future.
However, what caught Luo Qingchen's attention was the fact that it only recorded what happened thirteen years ago. What happened after that was all gone.
"Thirteen years …" Luo Yanqing had also noticed this problem. He lightly rapped his fingers on the table. "It looks like we still have to think of a way to verify it."
Indeed, thirteen years would be enough for a child to grow up into an adult. Who can guarantee that the records would remain unchanged? If they didn't check carefully, they might even have to steal more chickens than they could eat, which wouldn't make up for the loss.
"It's more convenient for big brother to go out. Just leave this matter to big brother." Although Aunt gave the box to her, Luo Qingchen didn't think it was necessary for them to separate the two.
Luo Yanqing was obviously thinking the same thing, and she nodded without the slightest hesitation.
Aunt Luo touched Luo Qingchen's head and asked with a smile, "What are your plans for tomorrow? Still pretending to be sick? "
Luo Yanqing looked worriedly at Luo Qingchen, but she shook her head helplessly. "How is that possible?" Even if I have to carry him tomorrow, father will probably carry me out. "But it doesn't matter. The more Luo Shuya looks down on Guan Shaoning, the more he wants to marry her. With a country girl like me by his side, it's impossible for Guan Shaoning to change his mind."
As she spoke, she turned her head and playfully winked at Luo Yanqing. "Big brother, since I was young, my body was weak, and I haven't received very good care of myself, so my mind isn't normal. You haven't forgotten, right?"
Luo Qingchen naturally didn't have any of these situations. Although she wasn't in a good condition, she had always been taken care of by him and Aunt Luo. Thus, Luo Yanqing was also stunned for a long time before finally reacting, nodding her head in understanding.
However … Luo Yanqing looked worriedly at Luo Qingchen. "Although this is a good idea to completely divert Guan Shaoning's attention away from you, but Zhaoyue, that mother and daughter pair are not to be trifled with. If they spread this news, how will you marry anyone in the future?"
In Luo Yan Jing's heart, his sister was the best woman in the world. Of course, only the best men in the world were worthy of her. How could her marriage be delayed by a mere Guan Shaoning?
Luo Qingchen didn't seem to care at all. He reached out his hand and put it on Aunt Luo's arm, saying, "I don't want to get married. I want to spend my life with you."
Then, he was met with a sudden outburst from Aunt Luo. "Damn girl, what are you talking about?"
Luo Qingcen stuck out her tongue at Luo Yan Jing, as if what she had said earlier was just a childish act.
Neither Aunt Luo nor Luo Yan Jing really thought much of it.
