A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 23: The Jade Pendant Was Not Found

Zhao Yichen looked at the Buqie in front of him and was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

He took it and began to wrap the strips of cloth around and around.

After going around in circles for who knows how many times, the true appearance of the sword finally appeared before him.

Zhao Yichen looked at his sword, then at Shen Qingqian, speechless.

Shen Qingqian glanced at him and said, "The sword has been returned to you, please!"

Zhao Yichen took back the sword, so there was no reason for him to stay. He walked to the door, opened it, and turned back to ask, "Who are you?"

Shen Qingqian was stunned and thought that this man was really strange. Whenever he faced her, he always acted like he was guarding against a thief!

She obviously lives here, but this person still wants to ask who she is? Is there any need to ask?

"I'm a woman! Can't you see that?" Shen Qingqian said unhappily.

When Zhao Yichen heard this answer, the corners of his mouth twitched and he left.

As dusk fell, the village was quiet and peaceful.

Zhao Yichen left the village quietly, put his finger to his lips and whistled, and the chestnut horse came running over from somewhere.

Zhao Yichen climbed onto his horse and before leaving, he glanced at the direction of the mountain behind Shenjia Village before riding away.

Shen Qingqian felt a little disappointed. Such a good sword was taken away like that. She really couldn't bear to part with it!

Shen Qingqian sighed, washed up, and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Shen Qingqian suddenly opened her eyes because she heard footsteps outside the door.

The footsteps were not heavy and the sound did not sound like that of a man.

Shen Qingqian got out of bed and hid behind the door.

The moon was bright outside the window and the stars were sparse, casting a silvery light in the room.

The door was pushed from the outside, but it didn't open because she had bolted it from the inside.

Then, something came in from the crack of the door. Shen Qingqian took a closer look and found it was a very thin piece of iron.

It seems like he came prepared! This thing must have been prepared in advance.

The iron sheet moved upwards twice and the bolt was immediately opened.

"It's open, it's open!" A faint voice came from outside.

Shen Qingqian listened carefully and it seemed to be Shen Mei's voice.

Shen Qingqian quickly climbed onto the bed and got under the quilt to pretend to sleep. She wanted to see what these three mothers were going to do to her!

The door was first opened a crack, then slowly opened wider. Then, two figures walked in one after another.

Shen Mei walked to the bed, picked up the clothes that Shen Qingqian wore during the day, and touched them from inside to outside.

Then she shook her head at Shen Jiao who was following behind her.

Shen Jiao pointed at Shen Qingqian lying on the bed and motioned her to look at Shen Qingqian's neck.

Shen Qingqian lay flat on the bed, breathing evenly, motionless, and seemed to be soundly asleep.

Shen Mei took another step closer to her, lowered her head and looked carefully at her neck, but saw nothing.

Shen Mei shook her head at Shen Jiao again.

At this moment, Shen Qingqian turned over, startling the two of them.

However, Shen Qingqian just turned over and then stopped moving.

The two sisters still found nothing and returned empty-handed once again.

Xu Guihua did not go in, but stood outside the house waiting. When Shen Jiao and Shen Mei came out, the three of them returned to the main house together.

When Shen Qingqian heard the two people leave, she slowly opened her eyes.

She wondered what Xu Guihua and her daughter were looking for when they sneaked into her room in the middle of the night.

Did he know that I had money? That shouldn't be the case!

Shen Qingqian did not take the silver back home, but hid it in the shop. Shen Qingfeng sat there, very safe.

Shen Qingqian put on her clothes, walked out of the house, and came to the window of the main house.

In the main room, Shen Mei said, "Mom, I've checked everything. There's no jade pendant inside Shen Qingqian's clothes or around her neck."

Xu Guihua frowned and said, "That's strange, where else can she hide?"

Shen Mei added: "I saw Shen Qingqian running to the town a lot these days, could it be that he exchanged it for silver?"

Xu Guihua shook her head: "It shouldn't be, the jade pendant is her mother's legacy. No matter who she gets engaged to in the future, she will use the pendant as a token of love. How could she pawn it?"

Shen Qingqian was confused when she heard this. What jade pendant? What token of love? She didn't know anything about these!

Shen Jiao said: "We can't find the jade pendant, it seems we can only think of other ways!"

Xu Guihua said, "Well, this is not the only way. Tomorrow, I will send a message to your uncle and ask Xu Shan to come and stay for a few days. We live under the same roof. I don't believe that there will be no opportunity!"

"What mother means is..."

After hearing this, Shen Qingqian roughly understood Xu Guihua and the others' intentions.

She didn't listen any more and went back to her room. No matter what tricks they played, she wasn't afraid!

After returning to the room, Shen Qingqian was no longer sleepy and began to look for the jade pendant mentioned by Xu Guihua and others.

But she searched the whole house carefully and didn't see any jade pendant!

This is strange! Since Xu Guihua and the others came here for the jade pendant, it means that this thing does exist, but why is it gone?

Shen Qingqian was not the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters. Since she couldn't find it, she stopped looking and went to sleep.

The next day, Shen Qingqian got up early as usual. When she finished washing up, there was no movement in the main room.

Xu Guihua, her mother and her two daughters probably haven't gotten up yet.

Shen Qingqian sneered. These two girls ran into her room to steal things and discuss countermeasures last night. They must have slept late!

Shen Qingqian did not go to the kitchen to make breakfast. She planned to have a meal at Shen Qinglan's place and then go to the shop.

When he arrived at Shen Qinglan's house, Liangzi was washing his face and Shen Qinglan had just put a basket of corn steamed bread in the pot.

Seeing her come in, Shen Qinglan said, "Qingqian is here, come in and sit down, the meal will be ready in a while!"

"Okay!" Shen Qingqian agreed and went into the house carrying Liangzi.

With Shen Qinglan, she felt relaxed and comfortable, enjoying her elder sister's kindness to her with peace of mind.

Shen Qingqian told Liangzi the story of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and Liangzi was fascinated by the story.

Shen Qinglan brought the meal to the table, but Liangzi still felt unsatisfied.

After the three of them had breakfast, Shen Qingqian said, "Sister, I plan to go to the shop today to see if there is anything else that needs to be prepared. I also need to buy some charcoal."

Shen Qinglan said: "It's time to go and take a look. Let's settle down quickly so that we can open for business earlier."

She thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go with you today. I can always help."

Liangzi also said, "Aunt, I want to go too."

Shen Qingqian patted his head and said lovingly, "Okay, let's go together."

The three of them still went to the village entrance and took a ox cart to the town.

Not surprisingly, they met Gao Xiuwen again on the ox cart.

However, Gao Xiuwen was not alone today, he was with his mother Zhang.
