"This! This is!"

Master Xue slapped his palm on the wooden table, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

"This is the jade talisman that I always carry with my little girl. Could it be...could it be!"

Master Xue raised his hand and pointed towards Su Qiu, his hand trembling uncontrollably.

Shen Zechuan roughly guessed the origin of this jade talisman.

"Master Xue, can I lend you the jade talisman on your waist?"

"Of course, of course"

Shen Zechuan took the jade talisman and compared the two jade talismans together. Even though many lines have been obliterated by the years, it can still be seen that they were made by the same person.

"Master, this! This is it!"

Zhong Er looked at the two jade charms in disbelief, tears welling up in his eyes.

Mr. Xue burst into tears, a handful of bitter tears welling up in his eyes.

"Master Xue, can you also describe what my little girl looks like?"

"When I was young, I had an eccentric appearance, with round eyes and striking ears, yes! There was a mole behind my ear."

Shen Zechuan recalled how the old woman pulled Yue'er's ears. If he saw it correctly, there was indeed a vermilion mole.

"The owner of this jade talisman is similar to the one you described, and he lives in our village..."

Master Xue grabbed Shen Zechuan's arm and collapsed on the ground.

"God has eyes! God has eyes!"

Zhong Er took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on his face, then stepped forward to help Mr. Xue who was lying on the ground.

"I'll call for a carriage right away and pick up the lady today."

After saying that, Zhong'er ran towards the door.

After a while, a piercing scream came into the lobby.

Before Shen Zechuan could step out of the threshold, Yue'er threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Shen, Sister Su, why didn't you say something when you came to the county? I'll go find you today. If you're not here...I'll come..."

Halfway through her coquettish act, Yue'er noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. Zhong'er ran over and stood aside, looking at the person in front of her quietly.

"Magnolia...my magnolia"

Mr. Xue slowly approached Yue'er and raised his hands tremblingly.

"Brother Shen, what's going on?"

Yue'er looked at Shen Zechuan in confusion.

"Yue'er, this is your father"

"Daddy?"

Yue'er thought it was ridiculous, and opened Master Xue's hand with a "snap".

"I don't have a father. My father abandoned me and my mother! What a joke!"

"This jade talisman is in the book you gave me. This piece is the talisman of Mr. Xue's family."

Shen Zechuan spread out the two talismans and put them in his palms. Unexpectedly, the moon suddenly hit the ground.

"It's just a piece of jade, what can it prove! They didn't want me when I was a child, but now I'm going to find someone when I grow up? When my grandma and I were living together, did anyone come to take a look? He actually lived a good life!"

"Yue'er, your biological mother has passed away long ago."

Shen Zechuan took out the cloth book from his luggage and put it in Yue'er's hand.

"Look at the fabric layer of this mezzanine, there are also embroidered names, Xue Yi, Yu An, you should already know it."

Yue'er stood there silently, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"Yes, I know. What does this prove? When I was sick, only my adoptive mother was there. When I was bullied, she abandoned me and gave me a sweet date? It's so funny."

"Yu'er, your parents have never abandoned you..."

"We couldn't find you after the Lantern Festival. It was like you disappeared from the world, and our servants also disappeared. We searched for you for three days and three nights, and couldn't sleep. Your mother was so sick with missing you that she couldn't sleep. How long ago did you go?”

Mr. Xue picked up the jade talisman with a broken corner. It seemed that there was no way to repair the broken pieces.

"Then why, then why did my mother-in-law say that I was abandoned? Are you lying to me?"

Su Qiu stepped forward and took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears from Yue'er's face. Yue'er couldn't bear it anymore and threw herself into Su Qiu's arms and cried loudly.

"Master Xue, the missing servant of your family has very light eyebrows, almost no eyebrows, and a big mole in the middle of his upper lip."

Shen Zechuan stepped forward and asked.

"No, no, this look"

Mr. Xue took a deep breath and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"This is the servant my family once kicked out. She stole my money and was caught by the madam. The madam was kind enough to let her go. She! She even repaid her with kindness."

"My mother-in-law is not that kind of person. She has treated me so well over the years! How is it possible? I will call my mother-in-law here."

Yue'er rushed towards the door with a whoosh, and stopped before running a few steps.

There was a person standing silently at the door, watching everything that happened.

"Ah, grandma"

The old woman walked very slowly, every step seemed to be in shackles, and her feet seemed to be stuck in the mire.

"Plop" and kneel down in front of Mr. Xue.

Zhong Er's face was ashen, and Shen Zechuan caught his raised hand.

"Master, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you right away. Yue'er is here with me, but I still have selfish motives."

"Xiang Shan, our family has never treated you badly, but you are ungrateful."

"Master, I have never betrayed you or my wife. I stole the money to support my seriously ill daughter. I am innocent in everything else."

The old woman's body was so low that her whole body was almost buried in her belly.

"Old woman, where did you pick up Yue'er?"

"In the backyard of Yihongyuan in Hongmei County, after I was fired, I went to Hongmei County to find a job and helped wash clothes in Yihongyuan. One day, a group of people arrived. I saw a lady inside and sold it. It took all the family property to redeem the young lady."

Master Xue tremblingly helped the old woman up. In a moment of relief, the grudges disappeared.

Zhong'er retracted his raised arms and embraced Yue'er in a hug.

"Master Shen, I don't know how I can thank you!"

Shen Zechuan smiled and bowed his hands in a ring.

“I really want to ask for something.”

"Master Shen, it's okay to say so."

"I hope Mr. Xue can accept me as his disciple and teach me the knowledge related to the imperial examination. I have nothing else to ask for."

"I am over fifty years old and can no longer think straight, but I have a good friend in the officialdom who will definitely be able to help you."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xue."

Master Xue patted Shen Zechuan on the shoulder, and in an instant, he seemed to be back to that high-spirited age again.
