Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"Yours?" He Yudong repeated, his tone full of doubt, "How did this jade pendant end up in Xu Damao's hands? You and him..."

He wanted to ask what her relationship with Xu Damao was, but he swallowed the words back. He didn't want to know, nor did he want to know what kind of entanglement this woman had with other men.

Qin Huairu's face became even paler. She bit her lips, as if she was hesitating about something.

"This jade pendant..." She finally spoke, her voice trembling, "It was me...I stole it."

"Stolen?" He Yudong sneered, "Who did you steal from?"

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at him with twinkling eyes: "I...I stole from my husband."

"Your husband?" He Yudong was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Jia Dongxu?"

Qin Huairu nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Dongxu...he gave me this jade pendant before he died and asked me to keep it safe. But...but I...I was bewildered for a moment and stole it...and pawned it..."

She covered her face and cried inconsolably.

He Yudong looked at her with disgust in his heart. This woman is such a complete liar!

He snatched the jade pendant and turned away. He didn't want to listen to the lies made up by this woman anymore, he just wanted to leave this dirty place as soon as possible.

"Wait!" Qin Huairu suddenly called him.

He Yudong stopped and didn't look back.

"This jade pendant... is very important to me..." Qin Huairu's voice choked, "Please... please give it back to me..."

He Yudong sneered: "Important? I think you are short of money, right? This jade pendant is worth a lot of money, right?"

Qin Huairu didn't say anything, but just lowered her head, her shoulders shaking constantly.

"Want to get the jade pendant back?" He Yudong turned around and looked at her. "Sure, bring money to redeem it."

Qin Huairu raised her head, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "I... I don't have that much money now..."

"Then just save it slowly." He Yudong said and left the pawnshop without looking back.

He walked aimlessly on the street, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand. This jade pendant was his heirloom from his previous life and also the medium for him to travel through time.

Who is he? Why did he travel here? What happened in his past life?

He was eager to know the answers to these questions.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and fragments of unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind.

He saw a magnificent palace, a man in a dragon robe, and a gentle and beautiful woman...

He saw his past life!

In his previous life, he was actually a prince!

And the world he traveled to was actually a novel he had read in his previous life!

The name of this novel is "Siheyuan: The Counterattack from Shazhu"!

He finally understood that he was not reborn, nor was it a simple time travel, but a journey through a book!

He was transformed into the hero of the novel - Sha Zhu!

And this jade pendant is the treasure he carried with him in his previous life, and it is also the key for him to travel through the book!

He held the jade pendant tightly, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

Why did he travel through the book?

What is his purpose in traveling through the book?

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears:

"Stupid column!"

He Yudong turned his head and saw a burly man with a fleshy face walking towards him aggressively.

It’s a great joke!

Banggeng walked up to He Yudong, grabbed him by the collar, and cursed him viciously: "You idiot, you stole my chicken!"

He Yudong was stunned for a moment, then reacted. This is a classic plot in the novel, Banggeng stole the chicken from Jia's house, but falsely accused Shazhu of stealing it.

He looked at Bang Geng and sneered in his heart.

It seems that this journey through the book is destined not to be peaceful.

"Bang Geng, let go of Sha Zhu!"

A crisp voice was heard, and a little girl with two pigtails ran over and pushed the stick away.

It’s Xiaodang!

Bang Geng staggered and almost fell down. He was so angry that he pointed at Xiao Dang and cursed: "You little girl, how dare you push me?"

Xiao Dang stared at him fearlessly: "If you dare to bully Sha Zhu, I will push you!"

He Yudong looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart.

In this strange world, he finally found the first person who was willing to protect him.

"Shazhu, are you okay?" Xiaodang asked with concern.

He Yudong shook his head, looked at Xiaodang's innocent eyes, and swore secretly in his heart:

In this life, he must protect Xiaodang and all the people he cares about!

He is no longer that Sha Zhu, he is He Yudong, a man with memories and treasures from his past life!

He will definitely change his own destiny and the destiny of everyone!

At this moment, a figure ran over from a distance, shouting as he ran:

"Silly Zhu! Silly Zhu! Oh no! Qin Huairu...Qin Huairu... "

He Yudong's heart tightened and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He Yudong stared at Qin Huairu, his eyes like a knife, as if he wanted to skin her alive. "Yours? This jade pendant, what evidence do you have to prove it's yours?"

Qin Huairu's eyes flickered as she avoided He Yudong's gaze. "This... this is an heirloom from my mother's family. I... I have been wearing it since I was a child."

"Inherited from your maternal family? Haha," He Yudong sneered, "Don't I know what your maternal family is like? What kind of heirloom treasure could a poor family have?" His tone was sarcastic, just like the former Sha Zhu, but the coldness in his eyes was completely different.

Qin Huairu bit her lip, her eyes reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry. "Yudong, how can you say that? Even if my family is poor, can't we have one or two heirlooms?"

"Don't give me that!" He Yudong interrupted her impatiently, "How come I've never seen you wear this jade pendant before? If you really have this thing, would you be willing to hide it? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Qin Huairu's face became even paler. She opened her mouth but could not say anything.

He Yudong looked at her like this, and his suspicions grew. He recalled the scene in his dream where Qin Huairu was with another man, and the unbearable things recorded in Jia Zhang's diary, and felt sick.

"Qin Huairu," he said word by word, "you'd better tell the truth. What's going on with this jade pendant? Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Qin Huairu's body trembled slightly. She lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke: "This jade pendant... is indeed not mine..."

He Yudong raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

“This jade pendant…is…is…” Qin Huairu stammered, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

"What is it?" He Yudong was a little impatient.

"Yes... I got it from a... a man..." Qin Huairu finally said this, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

"Man? What man?" He Yudong asked.

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "He is... a... very important man..."

He Yudong sneered in his heart. It was indeed so. He had long suspected that Qin Huairu had an affair with another man. Now it seemed that his suspicion was not groundless.

"A very important man? Haha, how important? Is he more important than me?" He Yudong said in a sarcastic tone.

Qin Huairu did not answer, but just lowered her head and cried silently.

He Yudong looked at her like this, and felt disgusted. He didn't want to listen to her lies anymore, nor did he want to have anything to do with her anymore.

"Qin Huairu," he said coldly, "go away, I don't want to see you again."

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at him in shock. "Yudong, you...you're chasing me away?"

"That's right, I'm driving you away." He Yudong said without hesitation, "From now on, there will be no relationship between us anymore."

Qin Huairu's tears flowed even more fiercely. She choked and said, "Yudong, you...how can you be so cruel? I...I..."

"That's enough!" He Yudong interrupted her harshly, "Stop pretending! I know exactly what kind of person you are!"

Qin Huairu wanted to say something, but He Yudong had already turned around and left the pawnshop, leaving her standing there alone, crying.

He Yudong walked out of the pawnshop, took a deep breath, and felt extremely happy. He finally got rid of this entangled woman, and finally found the truth about his time travel.

He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, his heart full of hope. He knew that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to change his fate and create his own glory!

He walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about the way forward. Suddenly, he felt someone was following him. He looked back alertly, but found nothing.

He wondered in his heart, was it his illusion?

He continued to walk forward, but the feeling of being followed became stronger and stronger. He quickened his pace, trying to shake off the follower, but the other party seemed to speed up as well, always keeping a certain distance from him.

He Yudong was startled, it seemed that the other party was not here with good intentions. He decided to find an opportunity to lure the other party out.

He turned into an alley, then quickly hid in a corner and waited quietly.

A moment later, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, looking around furtively.

He Yudong held his breath and observed the other person carefully.

In the dim light, he finally saw the other person's face clearly.

He was a burly man with a hideous scar on his face, looking ferocious.

He Yudong was shocked. Who was this person? Why was he following him?

At this moment, the man seemed to have discovered something and suddenly walked towards the corner where he was hiding...

He Yudong was stunned. Qin Huairu's answer was like a thunder, exploding in his ears. He stared at Qin Huairu, his eyes full of inquiry and suspicion. "Yours? How is that possible? This is obviously mine..." He subconsciously wanted to say that this was a family heirloom from his previous life, but swallowed it back.

Qin Huairu's face became paler and paler. She bit her lips, as if she was trying to hide something. "This jade pendant is mine... it's a family heirloom." She finally spoke, her voice trembling.

He Yudong sneered in his heart. This woman was making up stories again. Although he didn't remember everything in his previous life, he vaguely remembered that his family had been poor farmers for generations. How could there be any heirlooms?

"Really? Then tell me, what's so special about this jade pendant?" He Yudong pressed on.

Qin Huairu's eyes flickered. She hesitated for a moment before she said, "This... this jade pendant can... can bless you with peace."

He Yudong almost laughed out loud. This woman's ability to make up lies was first-rate. "Blessing of peace? So magical? Then why did you pawn it?"

Qin Huairu's face turned red and white, and she stammered, "I...I...I need money..."

He Yudong looked at her embarrassed look, and he was more certain that the jade pendant had nothing to do with her. He was about to expose her, but suddenly, he felt another sharp pain in his head, and more memory fragments flooded into his mind.

He saw a magnificent mansion, a kind-looking old man, and a cute girl...
