Chapter 471 Looking for the owner of the jade pendant
After Ye Che left, Ye Shengsheng and Forsythia stayed in the royal family.
Murong Qi was originally going to accompany them, but Ye Shengsheng was afraid of delaying her third brother's work, so she asked him to do his work while she and Forsythia played by themselves.
Murong Qi also agreed to the two of them. The eldest brother had to be busy with internal affairs, so he went home and arranged for the clan members to start preparing for the ceremony of acknowledging their ancestors and returning to the clan.
After staying in the royal family for a few days, and thinking of what Ye Che reminded him before, Ye Shengsheng discovered that his aunt and grandma Zi Xi were a little too enthusiastic about forsythia.
Just like this morning.
She and Forsythia were still in bed before they got up. Ye Xinran climbed onto their bed, dragged Forsythia and shouted:
"Get up, I'll take you to the beach. The weather is particularly nice today."
Ye Shengsheng sat up and felt a little jealous when he saw that his little aunt was only pulling forsythia.
You know, my former little aunt was also very attached to her.
Forsythia hadn't woken up yet, so she opened her eyes dimly and said to Ye Xinran:
"Let me squint for one more minute, just one minute."
Ye Xinran agreed, holding the time and watching from the side.
"One second, two seconds, three seconds..."
Ye Shengsheng discovered that the little aunt seemed to only have forsythia in her eyes.
But she really didn't care, and silently got up and got out of bed to wash up.
Forsythia felt the sound leave and looked at her back.
"Where are you going, Shengsheng?"
"I'm taking a shower. If you're sleepy, you can sleep a little longer."
"oh."
Forsythia retracted her gaze and looked at Ye Xinran, "Ranran, don't do this, it will make the sound come out."
"She sees what's wrong. I'm your aunt, and I want to play with you."
After all, my mother said that my aunt cannot reveal her identity, so naturally she cannot stay in the royal family forever.
She had to cherish every minute and every second she spent with her aunt.
Forsythia sat up and hugged Ye Xinran into her arms, "You are a big girl now. Don't be so childish. We will have more time in the future."
"I don't believe it. I know you will leave sooner or later."
She had just lost her uncle, and she really didn't want her aunt, who had just returned, to leave her again.
But everything didn't go as expected. As long as the Murong family was together, they and their aunt would never be able to recognize each other, and her aunt would never be able to stay safely.
Forsythia no longer denied Ye Xinran's words.
She will indeed leave.
Before leaving, letting her sister's children play around with her might be a beautiful moment that she can remember in the future.
"Okay, I'll get up and wash up right now and go to the beach to get some fresh air."
Raising her hand to pinch Ye Xinran's face, Forsythia hurriedly got up and yawned as she got out of bed.
As soon as Ye Shengsheng came out of the shower, a servant came to report at the door.
"Miss Shengsheng, are you up?"
Ye Shengsheng asked through the dormitory door: "What are you doing?"
"Third Young Master is here to pick you up. I don't know the specific reason. I want you and Miss Forsythia to prepare and go to the main hall to meet him."
"knew."
Ye Shengsheng responded casually, and immediately the door was pushed open again, and several servants walked in one after another with their heads lowered and carrying trays.
Ye Shengsheng looked at the items in their tray, which seemed to be clothes.
A very luxurious one.
Ye Shengsheng asked them, "What are you doing? I have my own clothes."
A servant came forward and said: "It was arranged by the Third Young Master. He said that he would take you home today for the ceremony of acknowledging your ancestors and returning to the clan. I have specially prepared clothes for you."
Ye Shengsheng said, "..."
She's already back, and she still needs to hold a ceremony?
Although I don’t understand how my brothers arranged it, I still went with their wishes.
Ye Shengsheng stood over and let several people dress her.
It is a traditional luxurious dress from China, very exquisite and elegant.
When Ye Xinran and Forsythia came out of the bathroom, they watched several people helping Ye Shengsheng dress up, and they all stood around and looked at them with curiosity.
"Shengsheng, are you getting married? You're so beautifully dressed." Forsythia asked jokingly.
Ye Shengsheng told them, "They said they wanted me to go back and participate in the ceremony of recognizing my ancestors and returning to my clan. I didn't know there was such a ceremony."
Forsythia understood and immediately said:
"Then you go, I will go to the beach with Ran Ran later."
Ye Shengsheng asked her, "Won't you two go back with me?"
Ye Xinran and Forsythia looked at each other and said immediately:
"I don't like going to Murong's house. Niece-in-law, you can go alone. You can come to us after you complete the ceremony of recognizing your ancestor and returning to the clan. Is that okay?"
"also."
Ye Shengsheng didn't think much about it.
After being dressed up by the servants, she wore a grand and luxurious dress and went to the main hall surrounded by several servants.
Murong Qi was already well-dressed and waiting for her in the main hall.
Seeing his sister coming over but there was no forsythia, he went up to her and asked:
"Where's Forsythia? Haven't you gotten up yet?"
"No, my little aunt is in a bad mood recently, so I asked her to stay and help me stay with my little aunt."
"Okay, let's go."
Murong Qi didn't think much and stretched out his arm to hold him.
Ye Shengsheng didn't refuse. He hooked his brother's arm with his green-white hands and walked out together to catch the bus.
When they got into the car, Ye Shengsheng couldn't help but ask:
"Why do we need to perform some kind of ceremony? Can't I just come back?"
Murong Qi explained to her, "Recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan is such an important matter. Naturally, there must be a ceremony. This is the recognition of you by the whole clan."
Ye Shengsheng didn't care much about that.
Anyway, no matter how many people there are in the clan, she will only kiss her two brothers.
Others who have not interacted with each other, even if they meet on the street sometimes, they may not know each other.
Murong Nan and Murong Qi prepared a grand ceremony for the ceremony of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan.
All the members of the clan showed up at the Murong family ancestral hall, old and young, about forty or fifty people.
When Ye Shengsheng appeared at the entrance of the ancestral hall with Murong Qi on her arm, dressed in luxurious clothes and exquisite makeup, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at the rows of relatives standing around.
But she did discover a fact.
Surprisingly, they are all men.
A little curious, Ye Shengsheng tilted his head and asked Murong Qi, "Why are they all men? There are no women in the Murong family?"
Murong Qi said: "There are aunts, aunts, and wives married by brothers, but they all have foreign surnames and cannot come to participate."
"Isn't there anyone like me?"
Ye Shengsheng thought it was exaggerated.
How could the whole clan not be able to give birth to a daughter if they are so old?
Murong Qi also tilted his head and approached her, whispering:
"Yes, you are the only girl in the whole family. If you have been around us since childhood, it is not an exaggeration to say that the moon is surrounded by stars."
Zheng Zheng is the best example.
Who hasn't doted on her since she was little?
At first he thought Zhengzheng was his sister, so he gave her the best.
He even went to City A to arrest her, but he didn't know that his own sister had a miscarriage due to a strange combination of circumstances.
Every time he thinks about this, Murong Qi still feels guilty.
Fortunately, my sister is back now, and Zhengzheng has returned to where she came from.
Everything will be settled, and they don't need to dwell on it anymore.
Ye Shengsheng didn't expect that she was really the miracle of this family. She didn't know why, but when she saw all the relatives around her looking at her and showing her particularly friendly smiles, she suddenly felt quite nervous.
Murong Qi realized his sister's discomfort, raised his hand, shook her hand and comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, they are all family.
Those outside are almost our contemporaries, but those inside are our elders."
Ye Sheng said 'hmm', took a deep breath and tried to adjust himself.
He led Sheng Sheng to the entrance of the ancestral hall and stood there while Murong Qi stepped away.
Immediately, Murong Nan, who was also dressed in a luxurious dress, stepped forward and stood on the two steps in front of Ye Shengsheng and began to deliver a solemn speech.
It's very quiet around here.
Only Murong Nan's high-pitched and sonorous voice was heard, ringing loudly.
Ye Shengsheng stood in front of his elder brother, and after listening to him read his speech, he led him into the ancestral hall.
In the ancestral hall, sitting were the eldest elders of the Murong family.
Murong Nan took Ye Shengsheng and introduced them to her one by one.
After getting to know him, he asked Sheng Sheng to stand in the middle of the ancestral hall.
The eldest elder stood up and slowly opened the Murong family's genealogy on the desk in front of the ancestral hall.
There are juniors studying ink next to me.
The elder turned the genealogy to Murong Feiyang's room, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink to write down the words. Soon the four words "Murong Shengsheng" appeared gracefully on the Murong family's genealogy.
After finishing the work, the elder left the desk and looked at Ye Shengsheng.
"You have entered the Murong family tree. At this moment, you can kowtow three times to the relatives of the Murong family who have passed away, and then the ceremony will be completed."
After hearing this, Ye Shengsheng knelt down on his knees in front of the family members and kowtowed three times to the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Murong family in front of him.
As soon as she finished kowtow, Murong Nan hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister. The ceremony has been completed. You can go back and rest."
Ye nodded loudly.
As soon as he followed his eldest brother out of the ancestral hall, many cousins from the Murong family swarmed around him, rushing to say hello to Ye Shengsheng.
"Shengsheng, you are finally back."
"Sister, you won't leave again, right?"
"Sister, you probably have nothing to do now. Come on, we'll take you to play."
Ye Shengsheng wanted to refuse.
Forsythia and her little aunt are still waiting for her in the royal palace.
But she couldn't resist her cousins, and was forced to leave by them.
Murong Qi and Murong Nan watched their sister being taken away and didn't care.
There will be a family feast soon. It's rare for everyone to get together today, so I want my sister to get acquainted with them.
After asking his servants to send several elders to rest, Murong Qi came to Murong Nan and said:
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
Murong Nan went to where he worked at home and said, "Say."
"Do you still remember the jade pendant that Ye Chefa showed in the group?"
"What jade pendant?"
Murong Nan has been so busy recently that he has to find time to even talk to his wife on the phone. He has no time to watch any group chat.
Murong Qi took out his cell phone, pulled out the photo, and handed it to his elder brother.
"this."
Murong Nan glanced at it and frowned.
"Youyi? It's something belonging to the royal family, Gong Youyi?"
Suddenly remembering it, he asked his third brother, "Is that the child who was predicted to perish as soon as she was born as long as she was in my Murong family?"
Because this matter was of great importance, Murong Nan was still very impressed by the name Gong Youyi.
Murong nodded, "Yes."
"Didn't she die two months after she was born? How many years have passed."
"Yes, she did die in infancy, but this jade pendant that symbolizes her identity is still there."
Murong Qi had something to say.
Murong Nan is a smart man, and he will not know what his brother means.
And he also understands the royal family.
Every time a child is born in the royal family, a jade pendant will be customized for them to symbolize their identity.
But once a person dies, the jade pendant will also be destroyed.
But now this jade pendant suddenly appeared, what else can it prove.
Murong Nan looked at his third brother, "Do you suspect that Gong Youyi is not dead?"
Murong nodded, "We were still young back then and didn't understand this matter thoroughly enough, but prophecies must be guarded against.
Think about it, our family has just had such a big incident, and this jade pendant suddenly appeared, what does it mean?"
Murong Nan actually didn't believe that a girl could do anything to the Murong family.
But something happened to Murong's family, and this thing that had disappeared for more than twenty years suddenly appeared, which really made him a little worried.
"Why does Ye Che have this jade pendant? Have you asked him?"
Murong Nan then took out his mobile phone and looked at the messages Ye Che had sent in the group.
Murong Qi said: "I asked, and he said he picked it up on the construction site of his real estate. Do you think Ye Che, a man with a net worth of hundreds of billions, would find it strange to pick up a jade pendant?
He also went out of his way to inquire about the source, and I felt that maybe he was inquiring about it for someone else."
Murong Nan put away his cell phone and reminded his third brother:
"This matter should not be taken lightly. I will ask Ye Che first to see if he will tell the truth.
If he insists that he picked it up, then you immediately send someone to City A to investigate and be sure to find the owner of the jade pendant."
"yes."
Murong Qi, who was about to leave, looked at his elder brother and asked:
"If the owner of the jade pendant is not dead, what will the elder brother do?"
"What else can I do? I'm just a girl in her twenties.
I just don’t believe in evil, does she really have the ability to destroy my Murong family?"
Murong Nan felt that the Murong family would only become more and more prosperous in his hands, how could it be destroyed in the hands of a little girl.
But he still wanted to find out.
Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and called Ye Che.
Soon, the other party answered.
Murong Nan asked: "I heard that you picked up a royal jade pendant?"
Ye Che, "..."
It seemed that even Murong Nan was wary.
He didn't deny it and said, "Yes."
"Are you sure you picked it up and didn't give it to you for you to inquire about?"
Murong Nan didn't beat around the bush with him, and he didn't waste any time.
Ye Che knew that nothing could be hidden from Murong Nan.
He admitted, "Yes, someone asked me to inquire about it."
"Where is that person? How old is she? Is she a girl?"
Hearing Ye Che's admission, Murong Nan's heart skipped a beat.
I don’t want to believe that Gong Youyi has been dead for more than 20 years, how can he still be alive?
No wonder Ye Che asked him about Gong Youyi when he came here before. It turned out that he had done it on purpose.
Ye Che didn't answer the question, "If you know this, what will you do to her?"
"So she's really a girl in her twenties?"
Ye Che did not deny it.
"Just answer me, what will you do to her after you know her existence?"
"What else can I do to a little girl? I just find it unbelievable. Ye Che, did you know that there was a prophecy about her?"
Ye Che pretended not to know, "What?"
Murong Nan told the truth, "The prophecy is that if she is around, my Murong family will perish."
Ye Che acted extremely calmly, "So you want to kill her to stabilize the Murong family?"
He knew that as long as Murong Nan and Murong Qi wanted to check the jade pendant, sooner or later they would find it on Forsythia's head.
He couldn't hide it.
We can only try our best to protect Forsythia and let Forsythia and the Murong family turn their feud into friendship.
