Chapter 1681: Chapter 1681: The Matron of the Yue Clan

Luo Tianying: "..."

What was her intention, to bully her because she was the eldest sister in the family, with no older sister above her to dote on her?

But what of it, she could just dote on those brothers of hers in the future.

"Alright, I know your sister loves you." She responded helplessly.

"Come on, let’s walk and talk, there are some things I need to explain to you."

"Okay."

Lin Chushui nodded, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard.

"Cousin Tianying, a topaz is worth ten thousand gold, but what about a pure topaz? Is it even more valuable?"

He asked.

"Pure topaz?"

A flicker of surprise passed through Luo Tianying’s eyes.

Could it be that her cousin had a pure topaz on him?

Impossible!

She lightly shook her head, feeling that she was crazy to even have such a thought.

"A pure topaz is priceless, if one appeared on the market now, it would drive people mad to obtain it, at the very least it would be worth... several thousands of topaz, I suppose."

That price, she was underestimating.

"I’ll tell you a secret, even my grandmother has only one pure topaz, cherished like nothing else, and she lets no one see it. And the Yue Clan, I estimate they might have two or three at most, certainly no more."

She turned slightly, whispering into Lin Chushui’s ear as they walked side by side.

Pure topaz, that kind of thing, was not something their families could afford to play with; they all treated it like a treasure.

Of course, anyone who had pure topaz wouldn’t tell others, because not only could pure topaz be used as currency, but its spiritual energy could make cultivating twice as effective.

So no one with pure topaz in hand would be willing to part with it.

"You can stop thinking about it. Not even I, her beloved granddaughter, get to see that pure topaz of my grandmother’s, let alone you."

She said, with a twist of her mouth.

"Of course, I’m not saying grandmother treats you poorly, but pure topaz is too precious, akin to a family heirloom; you understand, right?"

"I understand."

Lin Chushui said flatly.

He felt a movement in the palm of his left hand and remembered the pouch Lin Changhong had secretly given him, a gift from his great-aunt.

Although he had never opened it on his journey here, he knew it contained pure topaz.

It was also fortunate that the pure topaz was placed within the jade book; otherwise, its spiritual energy would have been quickly discovered by those around him in the Illusion Continent and he might not have been able to protect it.

"Cousin Tianying, I was listening to what the steward said earlier. Which one is the Senior Madam of the Yue Clan?" He asked.

"That would be your Second Aunt... that is, your current mother," Luo Tianying replied.

"Isn’t she the matriarch of the Yue Clan?" Lin Chushui raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Of course not."

Luo Tianying immediately shook her head, denying his words.

"Old Madam Yue is still alive. How could the power of the matriarch fall into Second Aunt’s hands? Currently, the matriarch of the Yue Clan is the Old Madam, who is your own grandmother."

She explained.

Now, Lin Chushui understood.

The items he had thrown away in the courtyard had been ordered by his grandmother, not Luo Mianyi.

At this thought, he involuntarily shivered inside.

He hadn’t meant to offend his grandmother by throwing those things out, and nobody had told him that the matriarch of the Yue Clan would be the Old Madam.

"Oh, I see."

He nodded, indicating that he understood.
