Chapter 428

The girl hopped and walked in front of Chen Er, her two ponytails were like the tails of a little white rabbit.

She smiled lightly, and then said, "Cousin, you can call me Xiaolan."

Chen Er nodded, "Yes, Xiaolan."

Xiaolan stopped after sending Chen Er to the door of the patriarch's room.

She showed her snow-white teeth, "It's not convenient for me to listen to your conversation, it's fine for my cousin to go in by himself."

After speaking, he jumped away and left.

Chen Er pushed open the door, and the patriarch was sitting at the desk reading a book.

The patriarch coughed twice and beckoned Chen Er to pass.

Chen Er roughly talked about what happened in the ancestral hall.

The patriarch didn't show any expression.

He just closed the book in his hand, grabbed Chen Er's hand, turned his palm to the ground, and wrote gently on Chen Er's palm.

This time, the patriarch completely wrote out the name that was not finished just now.

By the way, he drew an arrow on Chen Er's palm, pointing to the west of the house.

The patriarch raised his eyes and looked slowly at the door.

Chen Er turned his head and saw a figure projected on the window.

Chen Er raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stood up and walked towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shui Chenze standing at the door.

Shui Chenze looked at Chen Er quite unexpectedly.

Chen Er said, "The patriarch has told me where the things are, and I will go get them now."

Shui Chenze withdrew his gaze, and showed a very unpleasant masked expression, "If you want to get something, you should first talk to the elders in the ancestral hall."

Chen Er narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Shui Chenze carefully, and then said a word slowly, "Okay."

Chen Er and Shui Chenze returned to the ancestral hall.

When the elders in the clan learned that what Chen Er wanted to get back was just a box, they all heaved a sigh of relief, and no one questioned it.

One of the older elders waved his hand to Shui Chenze to fetch things. He thought that Chen Er was not familiar with the terrain here, so it would be better to send his own people to fetch things.

However, Chen Er took a step forward and said loudly, "Let's get it with my cousin."

When Shui Chenze heard the name "cousin nephew", he couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and the expression on his face almost didn't tense.

He paused, and then asked Chen Er in a cold voice, "Where is the thing?"

Chen Er grinned, "The east wing of the west house."

Shui Chenze took Chen Er to the west to find something.

A few members of the Shui clan followed behind.

Shui Chenze obviously has a lot of prestige among them. There are many houses in the west, and it will take time to find them one by one.

Shui Chenze asked them to spread out and find a place for each of them.

"The thing is a box from last year. The box should have my great-grandfather's name on it."

In order to show respect, these juniors will call Chen Er's great-grandmother the great-grandfather.

According to the rules of the Shui family, the dowry will indeed have a mark such as his name.

After Shui Chenze dismissed the others, he began to follow Chen Er to find things.

Chen Er walked into a secluded yard, first looked around, there were many peach trees planted here.

He walked around a peach tree and walked into the east wing.

The room was very dark, and as soon as the door was opened, there was an old smell of decaying wood.

Obviously, no one has lived here for a long time, and it is located in a remote place, so it should be rarely cleaned.

Chen Er stretched out his fingers to touch the table by the window, and there was a thick layer of dust on his fingers.

Shui Chenze had to find energy to stare at Chen Er, and at the same time searched around.

Chen Er was also looking around, but he didn't seem very serious.

After a while, Shui Chenze found a half-used box on top of the cabinet.

He took the box down and found that there was very little dust on it, and it didn't look like anything in this house at all.

He handed the things to Chen Er.

"Look at this."

Chen Er took the box, first blew the dust on it, then carefully looked at the patterns on it, and touched a circular mark on the bottom of the box.

There is a small character "Rong" engraved there.

It's indeed my great-grandma's name.

Chen Er smiled and said, "Okay, I found it, let's go."

Turn around and go out.

Shui Chenze sneered in the room before leaving with Chen Er.

Chen Er said, "Since Grandma's dowry has been brought back, I won't bother you much..."

"But, won't my cousin go into the ancestral hall to pay homage?" Xiaolan was still sitting in her original position, playing with the Nine Chains in her hand.

Chen Er was a little moved.

But a very hostile elder quickly stopped it.

"His surname is Lu and not Shui, so he is not qualified to enter the ancestral hall to worship."

Xiaolan curled her lips, but didn't speak.

Chen Er was also silent, and the scene was suddenly awkward.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked more friendly answered, "Why don't you just stay here for one night before leaving, it's getting dark now."

Chen Er came back to his senses and nodded, "Okay."

Then he thought about it, and said, "Then I'll live in the house on the east side, it's closer to here, so I don't have to worry about it."

Xiaolan raised her small face in the orange sunset, and smiled at Chen Er, her eyes were shining brightly.

Chen Er lived in the east house that night.

He wiped the box he found and put it on the table, then turned off the light and waited quietly until late at night.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet. Holding the box, he quietly walked out of the door, and swiftly slipped into the next room.

After he went in, two people came out of the shadows and talked in low voices.

Shui Chenze was expressionless, "She guessed right, the box Chen Er got today was a fake!"

Shui Dongjun was puzzled, "But the patriarch did draw an arrow pointing west on his palm at that time. Didn't he tell him that things are in the west?"

Shui Chenze gave Shui Dongjun a cold look, which made Shui Dongjun lean back.

"The patriarch already knew that we were watching him. According to his scheming, how could he tell Chen Er directly."

"And I found that box today, and it looks like it's been in there for a few days."

Shui Dongjun just kept silent.

After a while, Chen Er came out again with an identical box.

He looked left and right before returning to his room with the box in his arms.

Shui Dongjun asked Shui Chenze softly, "Is he dropping bags?"

Shui Chenze moved forward slightly, leaving only half of his body hiding in the darkness.

"Of course, that's why he stayed on purpose and asked to live here."

"However, if he can exchange the real ones, we can exchange the fake ones back."

As soon as Shui Chenze moved his body, he quickly ran towards the house, then ducked in and quickly took out a box.

Then he walked gently to the door of Chen Er's room.

He took out a transparent test tube from his arms, which contained a lavender liquid.

 There will be an update in the afternoon (*?▽?*)
