Chapter 1423 Jian Yiling Solves the Mystery at a Glance (1)
The one-eyed shopkeeper took out a piece of kraft paper from his pocket with trembling hands. The vellum looks like it's been around for a while.
He unfolded it in front of Jian Yiling and said, "At first I wasn't sure whether to come to you for help, but I recently found out that Mrs. Zhai's grandmother is from the Xie family, so I stopped hesitating."
He has been looking for someone who might crack the secrets recorded on this vellum all these years.
Every time he meets a suitable person, he will register it.
Over the years, besides Jian Yiling, he has also screened out other people.
It wasn't until recently that he found out about Mrs. Jian's identity that the owner of the one-eyed shop decided to look for Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling looked at the things on the kraft paper and frowned. This recorded thing is actually related to the Xie family.
Jian Yiling turned to look at Zhai Yunsheng, and Zhai Yunsheng helped Jian Yiling make up his mind: "You two go in and sit down in the house. Mrs. Jian is at my house now, and it might be more appropriate to discuss some things with Mrs. Jian."
Mrs. Jane went downstairs and saw the one-eyed man.
"Miss Xie."
The one-eyed man knelt down when he saw the old lady.
Mrs. Jian hurriedly stopped: "Get up, what age is it, don't feel like kneeling!"
"The rules passed down from the ancestors cannot be broken, and the collateral descendants must swear to protect the master's family."
said the one-eyed man. Mrs. Jian frowned, and then looked at the one-eyed man carefully.
"Are you... a member of the Xie family?"
"My father, Xie Guofeng."
"Ah..." Mrs. Jian showed surprise, looking at the one-eyed man for a long time without regaining her senses.
"Old woman, who is he talking about?"
Mr. Jian asked, Xie's family has a complicated background. He and the old woman have been married for so many years, but he is not very clear about those things about Xie's family.
"Xie Guofeng is my cousin." Mrs. Jian sighed, "He is the child of my third uncle's family, who is of the same generation as me. If he is Xie Guofeng's son, then according to his seniority, he should call me aunt."
The blood relationship with the old lady is not very close, but they are indeed members of the same family.
"Don't dare, you are from the same family, and I am a collateral descendant, there is a difference in respect." The one-eyed man has a strict concept of hierarchy.
"Why did you come to me?" Mrs. Jane asked in wonder.
"Because of this." The one-eyed man handed the kraft paper to Mrs. Jane.
When Mrs. Jian saw the kraft paper, the expression on her face was different.
"What's the matter with you, old woman? Don't be so surprised, can you? It's not like you don't know that you're not in good health. The stroke two years ago was saved by Xiaoguai!"
Mr. Jian scolded the old lady, but he actually felt sorry for her, and was afraid that something would happen if she rushed into her head with blood.
"It's okay, I just...remembered some past events." Mrs. Jian's eyes seemed to be looking far away.
She has seen this piece of kraft paper, it was in her grandfather's hand a long time ago.
At that time, she was the only legitimate daughter in the family and also the most beloved granddaughter of her grandfather, so she often went to her grandfather's study.
At that time, there was turmoil outside, and many people in the family were doing business in the country.
After recalling for a while, Mrs. Jian asked the one-eyed man, "So this kraft paper was given to you."
"To be precise, it was given to my father. My father entrusted it to me before he died. I have been looking for someone who can unlock this secret."
The one-eyed man obeyed his father's last wish before his death.
Even though the Xie family has disappeared for so many years.
