Episode 12: Yan Zijing suspects that the adopted daughter of the Yue family is his sister

Yan Zijing didn’t recognize the extremely exotic characters on the painting at all, but he had the same jewelry as in the painting. When he took it out to show Duanwu, Duanwu was quite surprised that he could finally see the jewelry in the painting.

After arriving in Shaozhou, Yan Zijing learned from his subordinates that there was a famous jewelry sculptor in the area, the Jade Guanyin, whose name was Yue Yunxiu. The objects carved by her hands were lifelike and exquisite.

After getting off the boat, Yan Zijing went to visit the Yue family in person. At that time, the Yue family was crowded with people. It turned out that the Yue family was going to choose a son-in-law that day. Yan Zijing was happy to watch the fun, so he entered the Yue family under the pretext of proposing marriage.

In the hall, many men were staring at the woman sitting in the middle carving. This woman was born with a beautiful face, skin as white as cream, and a face like peach blossoms. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also skilled in craftsmanship. Although she was surrounded by many distractions, she was still fully focused and sitting firmly on the mountain. Yan Zijing had traveled all over the country and met countless people.

When he saw the accessories on the woman’s waist, his face changed color. This string of fish beads was carved by him when he was a child and then given to his sister as a birthday gift. Now his sister has been missing for many years, and now he sees someone who looks very similar here. Naturally, Yan Zijing will not give up easily.

During the meal, a man began to bid for the item in Yu Guanyin’s hand. Yan Zijing knew that this was a competition for the betrothal gift, so he immediately offered a high price, saying that he was willing to spend all his family fortune to marry Yu Guanyin.

Duanwu saw this clever girl, who was extraordinary, but Yan Zijing was willing to spend all his wealth to marry her in two minutes, which Duanwu thought was unreasonable, not to mention that Yan Zijing was a very meticulous person. Duanwu wanted to ask for the truth, but Yan Zijing did not reveal anything, instead urged Duanwu to propose marriage as soon as possible.

The next day, Duanwu went to see Jade Guanyin and saw that she was really concentrating on carving jade pieces. She also saw the flying fairy statue in Jade Guanyin’s room. Duanwu had seen this flying fairy statue in the parchment scroll. There were not only flying fairy statues, but Duanwu also saw many finished products in the scroll.

Duanwu went back to report and told Yan Zijing that Yue Yunxiu only liked white jade. Yan Zijing immediately ordered his men to give all the white jade in the ship to Yue Yunxiu. When Duanwu saw Yue Yunxiu again, he found that there was something wrong with the goat milk she used to soak her hands.

Yue Yunxiu said that the goat milk was sent by her father, but for some reason, after soaking for a few days, she found that her hands were weak and painful. Yue Yunxiu did not agree to soak her hands, but was frightened by her father’s pressure. Duanwu secretly took the water for soaking her hands before leaving. She quickly took the water to find a clinic, but the doctor judged that the water for soaking her hands was poisonous.

Duanwu boldly speculated that the father of this Jade Guanyin was afraid that the jade pieces left behind would depreciate after his daughter got married. In order to make these collections unique, he came up with a vicious plan. As long as Jade Guanyin encountered an accident, these collections would immediately appreciate in value.

Zhang Jinran also came to Shaozhou and happened to see Duanwu near Yue’s house. When the two were delighted, Zhang Jinran told Duanwu the clues he found in Yue’s house. Duanwu had been suspicious of Yan Zijing’s true identity since he saw the flying statue. Now he heard from Zhang Jinran that the Yan family in Yangzhou was the previous owner of Hepu. At that time, the Yan family was a well-known treasure merchant in Yangzhou.

The national gift was the flying statue on a lotus platform. Once it was presented in the court, it would become the country’s leading jeweler. However, the national treasure suddenly shattered at the palace banquet, and then the palace people discovered that all the jewels were fakes. Just as the emperor was about to punish the Yan family and investigate the truth, the entire Yan family was wiped out, and the case was left unresolved.

The clever Duanwu carefully connected the whole incident and suddenly realized that Yan Zijing’s real identity should be Yan! So the girl he would rather spend all his wealth to marry should be his biological sister.
