After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 107 Family Destiny
Jiang Zhifan always remembered the palpitations before he fainted. It was the panic he had been avoiding for a long time. He had naively thought that he would never encounter it again in this strange era. But the moment he saw the butterfly jade pendant, the fear came over him like a net. The fear that he could not escape brought back all the terrible memories of the past, and also brought despair.
Wan Ning had never seen this scene before. She immediately stepped forward to hold him, and when she shook him gently and saw no response, she called out loudly, "Mu Xiu, wake up, Mu Xiu!" The panicked voice was heard by Yin Zhu in the courtyard. He immediately dropped the broom in his hand and rushed into the room to the two of them. He immediately took over from Wan Ning to hug Mu Xiu, stretched out his hand to hold his arm and feel his pulse. After confirming that the pulse had stabilized and there was nothing serious, Yin Zhu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Wan Ning and said, "Princess Le Yan, Prince Mu Xiu's pulse is normal, don't worry too much. Yin Zhu will send the prince back to his room to rest first, thank you for your forgiveness."
Even then, Wan Ning was still anxious, and she replied subconsciously, "Okay, send him to rest." As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Zhu leaned over and put one hand around Mu Xiu's waist, and with the other hand, she easily picked him up, then nodded goodbye to the princess and hurriedly sent Mu Xiu back to his room.
Wan Ning was the only one left in the room. She sat back in her chair with a sense of loss. She reached out to pick up the cup in front of her, but her right hand couldn't stop shaking. She glanced at it helplessly and stretched out her other hand to hold it, but after taking the cup, she had no desire to drink water at all. Her mind was full of the image of Mu Xiu fainting and being carried away by Yin Zhu. She couldn't remember when Mu Xiu started to become so thin, and he looked so different from when she met him in modern society.
"Jiang Zhifan, Jiang Zhifan, are you hiding something from me?" After resting for a few minutes, Wan Ning picked up the butterfly jade pendant and whispered, but there was no way to get the answer at this time. So she smiled indifferently, carefully put it away, and turned around to leave.
Mu Xiu soon woke up in the bedroom. The door was closed and he was the only one there. In the peaceful environment, people became quiet. He lay silently and recalled the scene when his father handed the jade pendant to him. At that time, his father was a successful person praised by everyone. Not only did he carry forward the inherited family business and become a famous figure in the business world, but his family harmony was also enviable. It seemed that bad luck would never find such a family.
But fate is random. One day when he was still in primary school, the housekeeper suddenly appeared at school to pick him up. His father had been abroad for a long time. He picked up his schoolbag and asked excitedly, "Is my father back?" The housekeeper's complicated expression made him feel ominous. There was no laughter in the car as before. He sat quietly and watched the scenery passing by the window.
Finally, the car stopped at the hospital. His mother was already waiting there with red eyes. Tears started to fall as soon as she saw him. He still remembered that his mother turned her face away, wiped it gently, and then forced a bitter smile, saying, "Go in and have a look. Dad is waiting for you. He wants to see you alone."
The father on the hospital bed was a completely different person from half a month ago. Half a month ago, he was full of energy, but now he was lying on the bed, barely breathing. He couldn't imagine what his father had been through. His feet seemed to be filled with lead and he couldn't move. He looked at his father in panic.
Seeing him coming, his father turned his head with difficulty and forced a smile, then raised his hand with great difficulty and beckoned him over: "Zhifan, don't be afraid, come here."
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" He couldn't hold back any longer and quickly ran towards his father, holding his calling hand with tears bursting out at this moment, "You were fine when you left home, why are you like this now? Dad, get up quickly!"
The father still had a bitter smile on his face. He knew that he didn't have much time left. He pulled out his hand and took out a box from the drawer of the cabinet beside the bed and handed it to Jiang Zhifan. Jiang Zhifan took it in confusion. This was something he had never seen at home before. He looked up at his father and saw tears falling from his father's eyes. Now when he thinks back, he still can't understand whether the tears were a relief or unwillingness.
"My child, Dad tried his best, but Dad lost." The father pretended to be calm and said, "Now I have to pass this half of the jade pendant to you, my child, I hope you can win." After saying that, the father started to cough violently.
Young Jiang Zhifan didn't know what was going on. He was just worried about his father and inexplicably afraid of what his father was going to say. He cried and begged, "Dad, please stop talking. You will definitely get better."
The father tried his best to control himself, and when he calmed down a little, he continued, "I know I don't have much time left, so I must tell you everything I know. I hope you won't blame me in the future, child. I didn't tell you before because I thought that if I could beat you, you wouldn't have to suffer all this. Now you have to walk the road ahead slowly. Open it and take a look."
Jiang Zhifan stopped struggling. He obediently lowered his head and opened the box his father handed to him. Inside was a jade pendant in the shape of a butterfly. It was the half that brought him and Wan Ning through time.
"What is this and why are there only plates, Dad?"
"This is half of the butterfly jade pendant that has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. It is also the destiny of our Jiang family. Every generation of our Jiang family must have someone to guard it, but the person who guards it is destined to die at this age. My great grandfather passed it to my grandfather, and my grandfather passed it to me. Now that my mission is about to be completed, I will pass it to you."
"Dad, will I die too?" Little Jiang Zhifan looked down at the half of the exquisite jade pendant. He couldn't imagine why in this scientific world his fate should be tied to this small object.
"Not necessarily," Dad shook his head with difficulty and said weakly, "Dad has spent his entire life investigating the secret of this butterfly jade pendant, and finally found that if you can find the other half of this butterfly jade pendant and combine them into one, you can find a way to crack it. As for what the method is, Zhifan needs you to explore it. Dad only has enough time to do this much. I hope you don't blame me. Fortunately, you still have enough time."
After saying this, the father became even weaker. In these years, his father worked hard and made money so that he could devote himself to science to save the fate of the Jiang family, and on the other hand, to lay a solid foundation for his son so that he would have enough ability to find the other half of the butterfly jade pendant.
Jiang Zhifan tightly grasped the butterfly jade pendant and cried out in pain, "Dad, what should I do? Dad, can you please get up?"
But even though he was reluctant to let go, his father smiled and said to him with tears in his eyes, "Zhifan, you can do it." After that, Jiang Zhifan's wailing was no longer heard. The sudden death of his father made Jiang Zhifan feel that it was him who was lying there at a certain moment, and lying there at such a young age was his fate that he could not escape.
Unlike his father who had a child early on, Jiang Zhifan has been single since he grew up. Although he has never given up looking for the half piece of the butterfly jade pendant over the years, he has lost hope of escaping his family's fate.
Since I can’t find the answer from the butterfly jade pendant, let me become the last guardian!
