Hearing this, Mu Ning recalled for a moment before saying seriously, "Yes, yes... there is a jade pendant. Zhou'er has been wearing it since he was one year old, and he loves it very much."

As a mother, Mu Ning naturally knew exactly what her son's favorite things were. He played with them every day and didn't let anyone else touch them. There were only three or four things in total.

After finishing her conversation with Jiang Fugui, Mu Ning walked over to the bedside and took out the jade pendant for her.

However, Jiang Fugui reached out and grabbed Mu Ning, asking, "Aunt Ning, is the jade pendant worn around Mu Qingzhou's neck?"

"Exactly."

Mu Ning nodded, but she didn't know why Jiang Fugui wanted to hold her back and stop her.

"Aunt Ning, let me do it."

When Jiang Fugui stepped forward, her eyes had turned into an enchanting purple, shimmering with vast silver-white. Her gaze swept up and down at the extremely weak Mu Qingzhou lying on the bed.

Then, she raised her hand and patted Mu Qingzhou's forehead as if brushing away dust. Her movements were very gentle, and she patted him three times in total.

"Go away!"

Mu Ning, who was a few steps behind Jiang Fugui, heard her talking, but she couldn't quite hear what she was saying, so she asked, "Second Miss, what are you talking about?"

Mu Qingzhou, lying on the bed, opened his eyes tiredly. After he saw the person bending over to look at him, he stretched his lips a little: "Is it...Sister Fugui?"

"Yes." Jiang Fugui replied, and used his fingers to pick out the jade pendant that Mu Qingzhou was wearing around his neck. "Can I borrow the jade pendant for you to take a look at? I'll return it to you later."

Mu Qingzhou nodded, closed his heavy eyelids again and fell asleep as if he had never woken up.

After carefully removing the jade pendant, Jiang Fugui held it in his hand and carefully examined both sides.

Well, that's it!

It looks ordinary, but it's actually...

Jiang Fugui closed her eyes, turning her eye color back to amber, then she stood up and turned to Mu Ning.

"Aunt Ning, can I have a moment with you?"

Mu Ning glanced at Mu Qingzhou on the bed with concern, and followed Jiang Fugui out of the room, instructing the person at the door: "Take good care of the young master."

"Yes."

The maids and servants standing at the door of the wing room all bowed in response.

Jiang Fugui did not stop at the door of the wing room, but walked up the stairs to the first floor without saying anything.

Mu Ning asked twice, but seeing that Jiang Fugui ignored her, she didn't dare to continue asking.

When the two of them returned to the courtyard from behind the main house, it was Old Lady Jiang who saw them first. Unaware of the situation, she asked, "Nannan, you and Aunt Ning have finished visiting Young Master Mu. How is his son?"

Jiang Fugui came to the two old ladies and stood beside them, bowing politely, his expression a little solemn: "Old Lady Mu, Aunt Ning, Fugui has an unwelcome request."

Hearing the voice, Old Lady Mu turned around, also with a bewildered look on her face: "What's going on? What happened?"

After asking, Old Lady Mu looked at Mu Ning again. The latter was also full of doubts, not knowing what Jiang Fugui meant.

Just when the three elders were confused, they heard Jiang Fugui say, "Can...can Uncle Mu come as well? There's something that may require the three elders to make a decision together."

Old Lady Mu frowned and asked, "Is it... related to Zhou'er?"

Jiang Fugui replied solemnly: "Yes, it is related."
