Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Bai Xue Still Has the Nerve to Seek an Audience?

"Mom, what is this? An heirloom?" Ye Shu asked, curiously reaching out to open the Treasure Box.

As soon as the lid was lifted, a shaft of golden light spilled out from the box!

Ye Shu looked closely and saw that the box was filled with glittering gold jewelry.

"Mom, I shouldn’t reap without sowing. These items are so valuable; you should keep them for now," Ye Shu said as she started to close the box.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yueru stopped her, saying, "What do you mean ’reap without sowing’? You cured my son’s gynophobia and won his affection; that is a great contribution."

As Bai Yueru spoke, she counted the jewelry inside: eight gold bars the size of chopsticks, three gold leaves the size of matchboxes, and all sorts of small trinkets, all made of pure gold and obviously handcrafted with fine skill. Although the designs looked a bit dated, the meaning of an heirloom lies in its ability to be passed down through generations, regardless of the style.

"Mom, is there any significance to these items?" Ye Shu felt something odd about the items in the box.

"Of course, there’s significance," Bai Yueru explained. "You see, eight little gold bars, three leaves—it symbolizes ’branching out and scattering leaves.’"

"What about the row of small rings at the very back?" Ye Shu pointed to the small gold rings and asked.

"There’s no special meaning to them; they are gifts prepared for my grandsons. Each will have a longevity ring, so you and Ah Chen need to work hard, you know?"

"Ah? Oh..." Ye Shu almost fainted from shock. There were nine small gold rings in total—did that mean she was expected to bear nine children? Was that even human? Even pigs sometimes didn’t have that many...

If it was one per year, it would take a full nine years!

At that moment, Mr. Sheng had just finished a phone call and saw Ye Shu’s terrified expression. He said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Mrs. Sheng, don’t panic; I will show you the way."

Ye Shu gave Sheng Shaochen a white glance, saying nothing, but her eyes said it all.

Seeing that the young couple remained silent, Bai Yueru got up with a smile to take her leave, saying, "Alright, alright, if you think I, as a mother, am getting in the way here, then I will leave."

At this moment, a servant came to report, "Madam, Young Master, Young Lady, someone is asking to see you."

"Someone asking to see me?" Bai Yueru said, "I rarely come to Shengjing Garden, so why would someone know I’m here?"

As she spoke, they saw a well-dressed lady hurrying in from outside and starting to call out ’sister’ even before she laid eyes on anyone.

Ye Shu wondered who it could be. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Gu Zuocheng’s mother, Bai Xue!

"Oh, you’re all here!" Bai Xue looked somewhat surprised to see Ye Shu.

"Mom, you chat; I’m going to rest." Ye Shu didn’t like Bai Xue from the heart, so she thought to avoid her to prevent any unpleasantness.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xue quickly grasped Ye Shu’s hand, saying, "Don’t go!"

After speaking, she realized her impropriety and said apologetically, "Ye Shu, actually, I mainly came to see you."

Bai Yueru became wary and pulled Ye Shu behind her, glaring at Bai Xue, "Bai Xue, what are you doing here today? If you’re here to stir up trouble with our Xiao Shu on behalf of your daughter-in-law Ye Xinyu, I think you better leave right away."

Bai Xue hastily waved her hands, "Ah, no, no, no, no, we’re all family here. How could I possibly come to cause trouble for Ye Shu? Actually, I came to ask for Ye Shu’s help."
