Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Brother and Sister Recognize Each Other
The shop was large, with two floors, and private rooms on the upper level.
Yan Jingjing naturally wanted to go up to the second floor to take a look.
However, Yan Lian’s face was simply too attention-grabbing.
Everyone who saw him would bow in fear and trepidation, saying, "This humble one greets Prince Lian."
Following that, various curious gazes fell upon Yan Jingjing.
They couldn’t help but wonder, who was this young girl to Prince Lian?
Although Prince Lian was famous for his romantic affairs far and wide, they had never heard of him having a child.
This kind of gaze really made Yan Jingjing unable to keep her composure.
She hurriedly said, "The carriage is outside, so why don’t you wait there, Uncle Nine Emperors, while I shop for what I need? I’ll come find you when I’m done."
"But..."
Yan Lian was still quite worried about Yan Jingjing’s safety.
"Just assign some people to protect me," Yan Jingjing said, patting her chest.
Yan Lian didn’t want to upset her, so he quickly agreed.
Before leaving, he arranged for two guards to accompany her, reminding them to protect her well.
"Miss, what kind of jade do you need?"
The shopkeeper, knowing she must be rich or noble, hurried up and asked with a fawning smile.
"Hmm... that is, do you have any jade pendants suitable for men to wear? As long as they’re handsome it’s fine, the price doesn’t matter!"
Yan Jingjing patted the purse at her waist; she had brought plenty of gold leaves.
The shopkeeper’s smile grew even more ingratiating.
"We have many precious jades in our shop, miss. Please, come with me to the second floor to have a look."
"Good!"
Yan Jingjing nodded.
But after reaching the second floor, the shopkeeper still stared at her with a fawning smile.
This made her very uncomfortable.
She said gruffly, "I can look by myself, you don’t need to follow."
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment but then nodded.
After all, anyone brought by Prince Lian, with such fine fabric on her person, surely wasn’t of common birth, and there was no need to fear she would steal anything.
Just like the child who had come in with guards earlier, the latter had casually rewarded him with a gold ingot.
"Fine, fine, miss, please have a look as you wish."
He smiled, nodded, and quickly retreated.
He completely forgot that Chu Junxi had given him a gold ingot earlier so quickly because he wanted him to keep the other customers from coming upstairs; he wanted to select a jade pendant in peace.
Yan Jingjing, who also liked quiet, glanced at the two guards and said, "You can just wait for me here."
"But, Prince Lian ordered us to..." The guards looked hesitant.
"We’re already on the second floor, there won’t be any danger. Just wait here," she said sternly.
The guards swallowed nervously and dared not say anything else.
An angry miss, bearing a strong resemblance to Prince Lian, made for a very tense atmosphere.
Yan Jingjing turned and cheerfully began to look at the jade.
In all the private rooms on the second floor, there were various styles of jade displayed.
There were jade bracelets, jade earrings, earpins, jade pendants...
In the room at the far end, Chu Junxi was selecting a jade pendant while scratching his face.
Wearing a human skin mask was indeed less comfortable than using a transformation potion.
Grumbling under his breath, Little Tuanzi Chu quickly took off his human skin mask, revealing a face almost identical to Yan Lin’s.
"Little master!" Wuji called out concernedly.
"Brother Wuji, don’t worry, we told that shopkeeper not to let others in, right?" Chu Junxi said, attempting to pat Wuji on the shoulder but, being too short, only reached his thigh.
Wuji frowned, still very worried.
Because he felt that, considering the little master’s unlucky past, something was bound to happen later.
But Little Tuanzi Chu was already immersed in the world of selecting jade.
"I finally understand why that Prince Jin likes jade so much; these jades are really beautiful. Is the saying ’crystal clear’?"
He caressed the jade pendant while he became sentimental.
"Right, Brother Wuji, I also want to buy a pair of jade bracelets for mother, can you help me choose?" Little Tuanzi looked up with an expectant gaze at Wuji.
The look on Wuji’s face was indescribable.
Was he supposed to pick out jade bracelets for the Princess?
What qualifications did he have?
This was even harder than fighting enemies on the battlefield.
Wuji was quite troubled, but seeing the hopeful eyes of his young master, he compromised.
As for the young master’s requests, they had always been very hard to refuse.
"Alright, alright, this subordinate will try," he said with a forced bravery.
Hearing his agreement, Chu Junxi nodded happily.
"You stay here and watch, I’ll go next door to see if there is a similar jade pendant."
He took out the half piece of jade pendant he was wearing and quickly ran to the next room.
But as he ran into the next room, he collided with someone with a "bang".
"Who is it!"
Both of them spoke at the same time.
He widened his eyes to see clearly, only to find that it was Yan Jingjing.
What, what was she doing here!
Yan Jingjing also covered her mouth and stared at Chu Junxi dumbfounded.
"Father, father king, how did you become so small?"
After a long while, she stammered out this sentence.
Father king?
At that moment, Chu Junxi remembered he was not wearing the human skin mask.
He turned to run away.
But by this time, Yan Jingjing had already reacted, and she quickly grabbed him.
"You, you can’t run, why do you look so much like my father?"
In the struggle, two halves of the jade pendants fell from both of them.
Chu Junxi, upon seeing this, hurriedly picked up one piece.
Yan Jingjing did the same.
But soon, they both realized something was amiss.
They silently looked up, staring at each other with a strange look in their eyes.
"Why do you have a jade pendant just like mine!"
Both exclaimed at the same time; neither in a mood to give in, both anxious.
Chu Junxi frowned, a sudden thought flashing across his mind.
His maternal grandfather had said that years ago, a jade pendant was split in half. Half was given to him, and the other half to... his sister.
At this thought, shock flickered in his eyes.
He hesitantly raised his head, then said in a trembling voice, "Could you, could you let me see your jade pendant?"
"What for, are you trying to steal it?" Yan Jingjing stared at him warily.
But seeing his face, which closely resembled her father’s, she hesitated.
Ultimately, she quietly handed the jade pendant over.
Chu Junxi took the jade pendant and pieced it together.
The result was that the jade pieces fit perfectly together, without a single gap.
So, these jade pendants were a pair!
She, she was his sister?
Chu Junxi’s eyes turned red.
He had always been strong, but for some reason, at that moment he felt like crying.
He desperately wanted to run back and tell his mother that his sister had not died, that she was alive and in the Prince Residence!
Yan Jingjing was also a clever child, her eyes intently fixed on the jade pendant, then back at Chu Junxi’s face.
She ventured a question, "Are you my father’s child who was lost outside?"
"How could father have so many women?" she muttered despondently.
She thought Chu Junxi was her half-brother from a different mother.
