Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan remained silent and quietly looked at Old Madam Duanmu.

Even if Madam Duanmu is a descendant of her master, they have been descendants for countless generations, over a thousand years. How could her appearance still be the same as her master's?

Master, could you have misread it?

Unfortunately, her cultivation level is not high enough to communicate with her master telepathically.

But for now, let's ask about the ancient books first!

"Mom, he is Master Ling of the Ling family in Haiyun City, and the other is his girlfriend, Jiang Huan, who is also the fifth young lady of the Jiang family in Nancheng." Duanmu Lin explained the two to Old Madam Duanmu.

"Madam Duanmu." Jiang Huan and Ling Siye said in unison, nodding to the old lady as a greeting.

Madam Duanmu glanced at the two of them, then fixed her gaze on Jiang Huan's face. "When your grandfather was young, he used to chat with my grandfather and drink tea together. But we haven't seen each other since my grandfather passed away. I wonder how your grandfather is doing?"

"Grandpa is in good health, thank you for your concern, Madam Duanmu," Ling Siye replied.

Thinking that Jiang Huan was still the person with the "three-year-old's intelligence," Old Madam Duanmu looked at Ling Siye and said, "That's good. It's really a pity about what happened to the Jiang family. Please tell Old Master Jiang when you get back that he shouldn't think too much about it. What's done is done, and he should continue to live his life well. This girl is still young."

"This junior will certainly convey the old lady's words to the grandfather."

When they're out and about, Ling Siye is Jiang Huan's mouth double.

Having already practiced how to ask the question on the way, Ling Siye didn't waste any time and asked, "Madam, I would like to know if this ancient book was passed down from the Duanmu family ancestors, and how many generations it has been passed down?"

"I don't remember... It's been a long, long time. This ancient book is actually passed down to daughters, not sons. But when it came to me, I had just given birth to Ah Lin when the old man's health deteriorated. I had no choice but to pass the ancient book to Ah Lin, intending to continue it after Ah Lin got married and had a daughter."

Judging from what Madam Duanmu said, this ancient book was passed down by Madam Duanmu's mother, who was Duanmu Lin's maternal grandmother!

If we calculate it that way, this ancient book isn't exactly unique to the Duanmu family.

If that's the case, then why does Madam Duanmu look so much like her martial aunt?

Perhaps only the master can answer this?

Jiang Huan glanced to the side and noticed that her master, who should have been beside her, was nowhere to be seen.

But since she was currently talking to Old Madam Duanmu, she couldn't say anything and could only wait anxiously for Ling Siye to ask the questions she wanted to know.

After half an hour.

Madam Duanmu noticed something was amiss and asked with a puzzled look, "Why have you been so eager to know about this ancient book?"

Ling Siye was speechless.

Because this wasn't among the questions to be asked.

He glanced at Jiang Huan instinctively, then a thought struck him, "It's because Huanhuan is very curious. Huanhuan is curious about many things."

"But she... is only three years old. Even if she's curious, she probably won't be interested in my answer to your question, right?"

Upon hearing Madam Duanmu's words, Ling Siye suddenly fell silent.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

Having lived most of my life, I've seen it all. I'm not so clueless as to not notice something when someone asks me a few questions.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back to my room now."

After saying this, Madam Duanmu stood up.

At that moment, Yue Wuyang also came downstairs.

As Yue Wuyang passed by Madam Duanmu, she unexpectedly noticed the pendant Madam Duanmu was wearing around her neck, and her eyes lit up with joy. "Disciple, quickly ask her about this pendant!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan had no choice but to whisper a few words in Ling Siye's ear.

Just as Madam Duanmu stepped onto the first step, Ling Siye asked, "Madam, I'd like to know if the pendant around your neck was left to you by your mother?"

Upon hearing this, not only did Old Madam Duanmu squat down, but even Duanmu Lin looked up in astonishment.

"Master Ling, why are you asking about the pendant?" Duanmu Lin frowned, his eyes filled with caution.

Seeing Duanmu Lin's expression, Ling Siye realized the importance of the pendant. "I was just curious."

“Curious…Master Ling, you don’t seem like the type to be curious about this.”

"..." Indeed, he didn't seem like the type of person to be curious about this, but Huanhuan still wanted to know.

After a brief silence, Madam Duanmu continued upstairs, saying, "You two come with me to my room. I have something to say to you privately."

The 'two people' naturally refer to Jiang Huan and Ling Siye, who came to visit.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan naturally wouldn't refuse.

The two followed Madam Duanmu upstairs, and Yue Wuyang went along with them.

Upon entering the room, Madam Duanmu dismissed all the servants and closed the door.

"You're awake now?"

As soon as Jiang Huan and the other person sat down, Old Madam Duanmu immediately began to speak to Jiang Huan.

She wasn't someone who knew nothing; Jiang Huan and Ling Siye's actions were full of flaws, and she couldn't help but think that Jiang Huan had already recovered.

Jiang Huan knew that if she wanted to know about her aunt, she had to ask her herself; otherwise, Ling Siye would still not get a clear answer.

"Yes." Jiang Huan nodded and explained, "It's not that I deliberately concealed it, but that I had no choice but to. After all, now only my grandfather and I are left in the Jiang family. If I don't hide it, I'm afraid I will follow in my brothers' footsteps."

After listening, Madam Duanmu nodded in understanding, sighed, and took off the pendant around her neck: "In that case, you can ask whatever you want to ask. There's no need to ask someone else."

Seeing this, Jiang Huan subconsciously looked up at Yue Wuyang, who was standing next to Old Madam Duanmu but could only be seen by her.

Yue Wuyang said, "Ask her about the origin of this pendant. Because this pendant was a gift from me to your aunt!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan pointed to the pendant and asked, "Madam, may I know about the origin of this pendant?"

With a look of longing, Old Madam Duanmu stroked the pendant, tears welling in her eyes. "This was given to me by my mother... She said this pendant would protect me. Actually, not only this pendant, but the ancient book was also given to me by my mother. She told me to keep these two things safe, and if I had descendants, to pass them down from generation to generation. But she never said what these two things were for, only that I should wait until a destined person appeared, and then give these two things to that destined person together..."

As she spoke, Madam Duanmu choked up.

Much later, she recovered and said, "You are the only one who has come into contact with ancient books and is interested in both ancient books and pendants. You must be the destined person my mother was talking about."

Although she was very reluctant, she still gave the pendant to Jiang Huan.

Yue Wuyang said excitedly, "Huanhuan, ask her if her mother's name is Duanmu Xiyin?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan conveyed Yue Wuyang's meaning, "Madam, was your mother named Duanmu Xiyin?"
