A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

"Who gave it to you?"

Wen Meijiu picked up the jade pendant, examined it on his palm for a while, and then looked at his younger brother standing in front of him with a very serious look.

Her family is poor, and she is the biggest financial sponsor in the family. It is impossible for her brother to have such valuable things. Don't tell her that it is an heirloom.

If there was such an ancestral jade pendant, her mother would have pawned it when her children were kidnapped.

So, this thing definitely doesn't belong to her.

Not to mention that she doesn't have this thing at home, even the entire village might not have such a valuable thing.

The only person who can possess this thing at the moment is the prince who just left her house.

"explain."

Seeing Lanling secretly taking small steps and trying to run outside, Wen Meijiu uttered a word very seriously, which scared Lanling so much that he stood there and dared not move.

He lowered his head, clasped his fingernails with both hands, and mumbled:

"Yes, it was given to me by Prince Wang."

Wen Meijiu grinned slightly, looking at Lanling in front of him in disbelief. Was it that Prince Wang would invest so much in a little kid just to follow her?

"What did you tell him?"

When Lan Ling heard this, it seemed to him that his elder sister was saying that he had betrayed her, so he immediately raised his voice and retorted:

"I didn't say anything. I just took a look at it and he asked me if I wanted it."

"It's that simple?"

Wen Meijiu didn't believe it at all. She didn't see why Prince Wang liked children. How could such a cold person suddenly become interested in children? He must want to get something.

"That's it, sister. I swear, I'm not lying."

Seeing that Wen Meijiu suspected him of lying, Xiao Lanling raised his palms above his head with a sincere look on his face.

"Did he ask you to do something?"

Wen Meijiu didn't give up and continued to ask. Xiao Lanling almost cried and said with a bitter face:

"Sister, he didn't ask me to do anything, seriously, I swear."

Looking at the little Lanling in front of him, it didn't seem like he was lying. She almost made her brother cry. He kept wiping his tears. Wen Meijiu temporarily believed what he said.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, the jade surface is clear and lustrous, the carving is lifelike, and the color is bright and vivid. It is unbelievable that he would be willing to give such a good quality jade to a child without asking for anything in return.

"Okay, I'll help you return this thing to him, you can go out and play."

Prince Wang's wish has been fulfilled, and he must be very happy at this moment. It is possible that he suddenly wants to give someone a gift to express his happiness.

However, she was not in a particularly good mood, and keeping this thing with her could be considered as compensation for her wounded heart.

Considering that the jade pendant was worth several hundred taels of silver, Wen Meijiu felt that it was not impossible for him to endure traveling with the young master.

"Sister, he gave me the jade pendant, why should I return it to him?"

Seeing that Wen Meijiu's mood was not as bad as before, Lanling could not help but mutter that he also liked this jade pendant very much. The dragon on it was flying in the sky, puffing up clouds and spitting out mist, which was very majestic.

The jade pendant was hanging around Prince Wang's waist at the time, attracting a lot of attention. Lanling knew that such things were only owned by the sons of wealthy families, so he didn't expect much and just stared at the jade pendant for a long time.

What he didn't expect was that when Prince Wang saw him staring at the jade pendant without blinking, he reached out and pulled it off from his waist and handed it directly to him.

At that time, Lanling was confused and didn't know what he was going to do.

It was Zhizheng who reminded him:

"Little brother, this is a gift from the young master, just take it. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."

Lanling didn't want to miss out on such a good thing, so he said thank you and took the jade pendant from Prince Wang.

Who could have thought that such a good thing would end so quickly after just a short while of happening to him.

"No merit, no reward. A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. You should learn these principles carefully. If you don't know, come on, I'll take you to learn from Dad."

Unexpectedly, Lanling dared to raise an opinion. Wen Meijiu immediately brought up his father and dragged him to find his father.

The father naturally had nothing to say about his two daughters, and he was quite strict in disciplining his son. If something like this happened, Lanling would definitely be beaten.

Lan Ling was not stupid. When he heard that he was going to look for his father, he subconsciously pulled back and said:

"Sister, forget it. I don't like to complain."

Well, no matter how high-sounding his words were, he was admitting his mistake, so Wen Meijiu didn't argue with him any further.

Little Lanling's things were snatched away by his elder sister, and his unhappiness was clearly written on his face.

In order to comfort his heart, Wen Meijiu had to preach to him.

"Lanling, you are too young. Do you know that there are many dangers in this world?"

Xiao Lanling looked at Wen Meijiu with resentment, but dared not speak. He shook his head slightly and said:

"do not know."

Wen Meijiu tried his best to tell him the truth:

“You don’t know, so I’m here to tell you today.

For example, if someone wants to cooperate with bandits to kidnap a child, but the bandits don’t know what the child looks like, the partner will make a mark on the child to make it easier for the bandits to kidnap him accurately.

How to make a mark?

It's not like they would really brand a scar on the child's face, so the simplest way is to put a jade pendant around his neck or waist. This will not only make it easy to see, but also please the child. In the end, the bandits can easily kidnap the child, and the jade pendant will be returned to its original owner. His family will have to pay double the ransom to redeem the child.

Now, do you understand why elder sister doesn’t let you have this jade pendant?

Next time if he gives you something, you must tell me and I will help you figure out what he wants to gain from you."

Lanling was once kidnapped by Wang Yuanwai. If Wen Meijiu hadn't rescued him, he would still be cleaning the toilet for Wang Yuanwai's woman. Thinking of that kind of life, Lanling collapsed.

For a moment, Xiao Lanling was frightened by Wen Meijiu's words. He stood in front of her in a daze, unable to say a word.

Wen Meijiu also noticed that Xiao Lanling was really scared, and there was fear in his eyes. She suddenly felt distressed.

Reaching out and touching his little head, she hugged him and whispered:

"Be good, don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can bully you."

"Well, big sister, you must save me when the time comes, and I will definitely tell you what happened."

Lan Ling was very well behaved now. Wen Meijiu patted his back and said:

"Good boy Lanling, sister will give you some candy."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of rock candy from the space and stuffed it into Xiao Lanling's mouth.

Having tasted the sweetness, Xiao Lanling became happy again and said with a smile:

"So sweet!"
