After being kicked out of her wealthy family after her engagement was broken off, she shocked the wo

Seeing Xia Qingnuan's actions, Wei Hexue sighed in her heart. The little girl really trusted him without reservation.

Wei Hexue looked at the pendant carefully, "I can't see anything. It looks very ordinary, but I think grandma must have deep meaning in leaving it for you."

Xia Qingnuan said: "I have never seen anything wrong with this pendant."

"Actually, I didn't know there was such a thing at home before."

"When grandma arranged for me and Jiang Jichen to get engaged, we exchanged tokens. I didn't know about this."

"After breaking off the engagement, Mr. Jiang returned the token to me."

Speaking of this, Xia Qingnuan couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder grandma trusts Mr. Jiang so much."

In her last life, if Grandpa Jiang hadn't died suddenly, she wouldn't have known about the gourd pendant.

Wei Hexue said warmly: "Put it away first. I'll have someone investigate the situation of the Lu family first."

In Wei Hexue's opinion, Xia Qingnuan's grandmother must have known someone from the Lu family before, otherwise the Lu family would not have shown up at this time.

Xia Qingnuan thought deeply: "Even if there is a relationship, it was a long time ago."

In this way, the two of them talked along the way, and Xia Qingnuan ate snacks, feeling a rare sense of relaxation.

It wasn't until midnight that the car arrived at Yunxiang.

Entering Yunxiang, you really feel like you have arrived in ancient times.

Everything here is incompatible with modernity, and there are no street lights in the village.

But none of this affected them. They drove the car in front of an old house in the Xia family.

Xia Qingnuan opened the door of the old house with the key and took Wei Hexue in.

Xia Qingnuan walked into the yard and found Wei Hexue still at the door, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The lock on this door is an ancient mechanism lock. The forging process is exquisite. It has been lost long ago. Traces of these mechanisms can only be found in books."

Just looking at the machine lock forged like this, Wei Hexue was a little shocked.

If this is the ancestral home of the Xia family, then the Xia family is definitely not simple.

It's definitely not like what the world sees, it's just a modern wealthy family with little history.

Xia Qingnuan's expression changed and she said, "I haven't paid attention to this yet. The ancestral home is too old and is still in the countryside. There is no electricity or street lights, and the roads are not repaired. No one in the Xia family is willing to come here."

Nowadays, password fingerprint and face locks are popular, and no keys are needed at all.

So the key to the ancestral house was kept in the drawer where my grandfather lived before his death, and no one touched it until it became dusty.

"And I've looked here, and there's nothing there."

"The family head order that grandpa left for me before. If I hadn't deciphered the code in the book and placed it under the old locust tree, I probably wouldn't have found it."

Wei Hexue said: "Don't Mrs. Xia want to send someone to dig three feet into the ground?"

Xia Qingnuan shook her head and said: "She doesn't dare. The clan elders are staring at her, and there is also an ancestral saying that the ancestral home cannot be moved. Anyone who dares to dig up the land of the ancestral home and damage the houses will be kicked out of the family and be punished. Disposal for rebellious families.”

"Mrs. Xia still wants to gain the power of the Xia family, so naturally she will not offend the clan elders in this way."

"And since this ancestral precept is there, she doesn't think my grandfather would dig every inch of the land here."

"It's a pity that she doesn't understand the Xia family very well."

"Grandpa doesn't play his cards according to common sense."

"Although I've been here before and didn't find anything unique, I still want to look for it again. Maybe I can find something left by my ancestors."

Wei Hexue whispered: "Since the locks on the door are all machine locks, is there also a machine hidden here?"
