Shengjing Noble

Chapter 168 Covering the sky with one hand

"That's right. It's because this jade is worthless that it's worth preserving. Maybe it's something left by Xiaoyu's father. I think my uncle has a wide network of contacts. Maybe I can find clues about Xiaoyu's father through this jade pendant."

Su Shengyan was puzzled: "You want to help her find her father?"

Su Lanyin nodded: "Well, I can only say that we will try our best. At least we have helped her find her relatives, which means that the child was not abducted."

"That makes sense. In that case, let's keep her. I don't think she is a bad kid." Lu Wanjun nodded in agreement.

"Where are the brothers?" Su Lanyin looked at them.

Su Shengyan: "I have no objection."

Su Shengyun: "Yinyin likes it, and my second brother supports it."

Su Shengming: "You all have no objection, so I naturally have no objection either. Besides, it will be more lively with more people in the house."

"Then I'll go check on the little fish first, um, you go ahead."

……

A villa in the suburbs of Shengjing.

Su Lanxin followed Fu Mingheng into a room. She was a little nervous, her palms were sweating, and her face was slightly red as she pursed her lips.

"Why did you bring me here, sir?"

When Fu Mingheng saw her like this, he felt a chill in his heart, but his face remained gentle and warm.

He pointed to the table and chairs next to him and said, "Girl, please sit down first. We will talk slowly."

"okay."

Su Lanxin smiled and nodded, then shyly sat on the round stool opposite, thinking about how the situation would develop next.

Is it a game of playing hard to get or playing hard to get?

You can't let a man eat you so quickly, right? If you do, he won't cherish you anymore.

Thinking of this, she pinched the corner of her clothes and mustered up the courage to say, "Sir, I'm not such a casual person..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Fu Mingheng push a piece of paper towards her. She was stunned for a moment and looked at the man with confusion.

"what is this?"

"What random person?"

The two said almost in unison.

Su Lanxin looked embarrassed and quickly said, "Nothing, nothing! What did you give me, sir?"

"You'll know once you open it." Fu Mingheng looked mysterious.

"Ok."

Su Lanxin thought, could it be a list of betrothal gifts?

This is too fast!

Sure enough, her charm...wait!

There was no love poem as imagined, nor any betrothal gift. Instead, there was a jade ring drawn on the paper with some special patterns on it.

"What is this jade ring?"

Su Lanxin was very confused and looked bewildered.

Fu Mingheng then explained with a serious face: "This jade ring is very important to me, but unfortunately I... it is not convenient for me to find it, so I want to find someone I can trust to help me find it. Miss, can you help me?"

"It is my duty to help you, sir. But what is the use of this jade ring? Why don't you look for it yourself?"

Su Lanxin looked at him suspiciously.

Isn't this man the crown prince? He has so many guards around him, and so many secret guards. He can't be said to have great magical powers, but he is also a person who can cover the sky with one hand.

Why did he need her to help him find something?

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. Could it be that this jade is hiding some secret?

Fu Mingheng saw her suspicion, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and then he explained seriously: "To be honest, this jade ring is a relic of my late mother. Because my father... my father remarried, my stepmother became jealous and threw the jade ring away."

"I secretly inquired about it and found out that she was picked up by someone, but it's hard to find her in a foreign land. If I search for her in a big way, I'm afraid that if my stepmother finds out, it will cause trouble. That's why I want to ask you for help, young lady."

"First, you and I have no previous relationship, so my stepmother won't pay attention to you. Second, the girl is very smart and I trust her. I don't think the girl will refuse, right?"

Su Lanxin was immediately delighted when she heard that. Being able to become a person trusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant that she was only one step away from marrying into the Crown Prince's Mansion.

Thinking of this, she felt a little smug.

Su Lanyin, you bitch, I will never let you go when I marry the prince!

She accepted the blueprint with great joy, and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely help you find the jade ring."

Fu Mingheng curled his lips and thought, this woman is obsessed with him and will definitely do her best to find him.

Moreover, I heard that the Su family owns many banks, escort agencies, and businesses. If they are really willing to spend the money, they will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of the jade ring as soon as possible.

As long as he gets this jade ring, his position as crown prince will be truly secure.

Unfortunately, he had never expected that the Su family's wealth had already left with Lu Wanjun.

……

Su Mansion.

After returning home, Su Lanxin told Liu Ruyan about Yuhuan.

Looking at the drawing, the two of them closed the door and discussed in a low voice.

"Mother, the world is so big, how can we find this little jade ring?"

"Don't worry, mother will find a way for you..." Liu Ruyan thought for a moment, then said, "First send people to ask around in various pawnshops, maybe we can find some clues."

"Pawn shop? Yes, I never thought that if someone found this jade ring, they would definitely pawn it for silver!"

Su Lanxin was very excited. She said to herself happily, "As long as I help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find this jade ring, he will definitely be grateful to me. He might even take me to the Crown Prince's Mansion right away, and then we'll start a love story that transcends time and space..."

She seemed to have already regarded herself and Fu Mingheng as the male and female protagonists in a love story.

Liu Ruyan looked at her daughter's longing expression and gritted her teeth. Even if she had to pay some money, she would let her daughter move up in the social ladder. She would never marry down like her!

At the beginning, her father was impressed by Su Yongcheng's literary talent, but did not want his legitimate daughter to marry down, so he pushed her, the concubine's daughter, out.

It’s all her aunt’s fault that she has no ability to win the man’s heart and can’t provide her with a good way out.

After much thought, she decided that it would be better for her to be the main wife of the Su family rather than being given away by her mistress to a rich and powerful man as a concubine. At least she would still be the daughter of a marquis, and everyone would look up to her.

In order not to be looked down upon, she maintained a superior attitude, always appearing to be as calm as a chrysanthemum and not competitive.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wanjun, a fool, was forced to work like a slave for the Su family.

Over the years, she has lived a much more relaxed and comfortable life than when she was in the Marquis' Mansion. In the past, she could only watch her legitimate sisters living a life of luxury, but she didn't expect that after marrying Su Yongcheng, she would be able to enjoy all of these things.

It’s a pity that the bitch Lu Wanjun suddenly came to her senses and divorced Su Yongcheng with all her dowry.

Now, she can only rely on herself. As for Su Yongcheng, she doesn't know if he still has any chance of promotion.

If Lu Wanjun were still alive, she would definitely give all her gold and silver to help Su Yongcheng climb up the ladder. Then she would sit back and reap the benefits, become the wife of a high-ranking official, and maybe even get an imperial decree.

But now everything has become a bubble.

She sighed, held Su Lanxin's hand tightly, and said earnestly: "Xin'er, mother can only rely on you."
