Chapter 947: 230: The Truth Emerging from the Surface_7

Liu Qinian spoke earnestly, "What I’m doing is called ’casting a long line to catch a big fish.’ Do you think I can’t see what kind of person Ni Yang is? The car she drove today might have been funded by Zhao Shuyue. But some issues can’t be rushed. Looking at Zhao Shuyue’s attitude, it’s clear she hasn’t fully accepted us yet, so we must take it slow and not be too definitive in our approach."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ru instantly understood, "Dad, you are wise."

Jiu Wentang also smiled.

Liu Qinian continued, "Our family used to be very wealthy, the richest in the area, and, I heard from Zhao Shuyue’s father that to prevent our family from declining, our ancestors secretly hid a stash of gold, silver, and precious treasures during the Kangxi period..."

Before Liu Qinian finished his sentence, Liu Ru excitedly exclaimed, "Dad! Are you serious?"

She had thought that the jade bracelet was the most valuable treasure Zhao Shuyue had, but it turned out there was a gold mine in her hands.

Jiu Wentang was also excited, though she didn’t show it.

Liu Qinian nodded, "It’s true, otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone through such effort to find her. In any case, this treasure must not end up in Ni Yang’s hands. So, these next few days, we must visit her daily to try and find that treasure map sooner."

So many years had passed, and if Liu Qinian hadn’t suddenly remembered the gold mine, he wouldn’t have come looking for Zhao Shuyue!

He had a wife and children, living such a happy life, why would he bother stirring trouble?

As far as he knew, the gold mine that Zhao Shuyue possessed was enough to secure many generations of his descendants a carefree life.

Liu Qinian had even lined up foreign buyers.

"Hmm." Jiu Wentang nodded.

Just then, Liu Qi parked the car and walked in, "Mom, Dad, what were you just talking about?"

"Nothing," Jiu Wentang replied.

Her son was simple-minded, never engaging in anything underhanded. If he found out about the treasure map, the whole plan would be ruined!

Thus, she couldn’t tell him the truth.

After the Liu family left, Ni Yang, carrying the food, arrived at Zhao Shuyue’s home.

"Grandma Liu," Ni Yang knocked on the door.

Zhao Shuyue opened the door from inside, "Yangyang is here."

As the two of them entered, Ni Yang noticed a slight redness around Zhao Shuyue’s eyes and asked, "Grandma Liu, are you alright?"

Zhao Shuyue shook her head, "I’m already one foot in the grave, what can be wrong with me? But Yangyang, from now on, can you call me Grandma Zhao instead?"

"Huh?" Ni Yang was puzzled, failing to grasp Zhao Shuyue’s meaning.

Zhao Shuyue sighed, "Yangyang, actually, my surname is Zhao, my name is Zhao Shuyue..."

Ni Yang had known Zhao Shuyue for so long and only now discovered that her surname was not Liu, but Zhao.

Zhao Shuyue further explained why she had previously claimed she belonged to the Liu family, "Liu Qinian who visited today, he and I had gone through a wedding ceremony sixty years ago."

Mentioning it again, Zhao Shuyue was no longer resentful but spoke about it very calmly.

Ni Yang frowned slightly.

This was just like a real-life version of "The Story of Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui."

Wang Baochuan endured the bitter cold for eighteen years.

But Xue Pinggui lived a life of glory and wealth for eighteen years, and even enjoyed the carefree life of a royal consort.

This was just too unfair for Zhao Shuyue!

Sixty years!

A lifetime for a woman!

How could he do such a thing!

Sixty whole years! _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
