An orphan girl in troubled times, living a miserable life

Chapter 372 Extra 5: Finally seeing the old friend who left the dragon pendant

Chapter 372: The Dragon Pendant Left by an Old Friend

Shen Yue’s pupils widened and his whole body froze. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the person who came in disbelief. When his eyes met, he saw that the other person’s eyes also flashed with surprise. A smile full of maternal love was stuck on his face, and the words of blame to his daughter stopped abruptly.

“Yao, Yaoguang!” Shen Yue realized that he was trembling only after the voice came out.

Li Yaoguang, who was chasing his own glutinous rice dumplings, was also caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the person. He never expected that they would meet unexpectedly at this time and place after many years. It was very unexpected.

However, the past cannot be retrieved. As time passed, she got married, had a child, and lived a happy life with no regrets. At this moment, facing her old friend, Li Yaoguang felt relaxed, let go, and happy after a long absence.

After all, she had said long ago that, although they could not be lovers, they could be friends, brothers, and comrades-in-arms, as long as he was willing.

Li Yaoguang’s mind suddenly became clear. He would not avoid it. He calmed himself, retracted the surprise on his face, put on a gentle smile, and walked firmly towards the person holding his baby.

Seeing that the visitor was dressed casually, Li Yaoguang thought that he might be on a secret tour, so he did not kneel three times and kowtow nine times. Instead, he bowed to the other party as if meeting an old friend, with tenderness in his eyes for an old friend.

“Shen Yue, long time no see.”

Shen Yue was stiff for a long time, but it was the little guy in his arms who slapped him on the shoulder, which finally brought Shen Yue back to his senses.

Facing the greeting from an old friend whom he had always missed, Shen Yue grinned, revealing a smile uglier than crying, and nodded towards Li Yaoguang, “Yes, long time no see, Yaoguang, how are you?” At one moment, thousands of emotions and many thoughts were transformed into this greeting.

Li Yaoguang smiled and nodded in response, “Haha, thank you for your concern, I’m fine, and I’m living a comfortable and happy life.”

“Haha, haha…” Shen Yue felt dryness in his mouth. He forced a smile, but his eyes looked at the smiling person opposite him with longing. He didn’t want to move his eyes away. He subconsciously murmured: “Okay, okay, as long as you are doing well, I will be relieved if you are well, relieved…”

“Shen Yue.”

Facing Li Yaoguang’s concerned eyes, Shen Yue suddenly came back to his senses. As an emperor, he was used to not showing his emotions. It was rare for him to lose his composure, so he quickly controlled himself. He also didn’t want to make the other party worry. Shen Yue forced a smile and weighed the baby in his arms: “Yaoguang, this is your child, right?”

Li Yaoguang looked at the fat baby in the other person’s hand, nodded and said, “Yes, this is my baby.” Then he instructed the child, “Yu’er, call me uncle.”

The fat baby looked at his mother, then at the handsome uncle holding him, and took a bite of the candied haws. He chewed it and mumbled, “Grandma.”

The distorted voice of “Uncle” made Shen Yue feel a pain in his heart. After the huge shock, he suddenly felt relieved.

Yes, uncle, he is uncle!

I think from the moment he stepped onto the execution platform that day, he could only be an uncle!

To this day, what else can’t I let go of?

Fortunately, God had mercy on him and he got what he wanted when he was in despair. He could see her again in his lifetime and even met her children. They lived a happy life. What else did he have to regret?

So be it, so be it, as long as she is happy, so be it…

Shen Yue, who was completely relieved, hugged the fat baby tightly in his arms. However, what he didn’t know was that when the two of them met again on the street and reminisced about the past, some of the townspeople, whose streets were full of Ji Mo’s spies, had already hurried to the big house in the town to report.

Ji Mo was busy checking the accounts of all the newly opened Tongjitangs across the country at home. When he heard the visitor yelling, “Oh no, oh no, a strange man came to see my wife and was chatting and laughing with her on the street,” how could Ji Mo sit still? He threw the account book away and disappeared in an instant.

Rushing over, he saw from afar that it was Shen Yue. Ji Mo was so angry that his teeth were itching. He cursed in his heart why the emperor didn’t stay in Kyoto and spend time with his bunch of concubines in the palace, but came to this remote place like his?

This person is already his wife, and they even have a baby, why is he still pestering her? He is still messing with my wife!
Someone was so angry that he felt jealous and anxious in his heart, but he kept a dignified face. When he was almost at the place, he hurriedly stopped, straightened his clothes, held his head high, walked forward quickly with his best demeanor, and put his arm around Li Yaoguang’s shoulders. Ji Mo raised his eyebrows in a sarcastic manner and looked at the person who came with a smile.

“Oh, I didn’t know it was an old friend who came. I’m sorry for not welcoming you from afar!” Shen Yue: “Haha!”

He must be jealous. These seemingly welcoming words sounded dry and annoyed, without any sincerity at all.

Shen Yue, who had completely let it go, found it funny and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in response. It was rare that he had a bad intention. He weighed the fat baby in his arms and laughed, “Haha, since Doctor Ji has invited me so kindly, I can’t refuse your kindness. I will stay and accompany my old friend to reminisce about the past.”

Ji Mo choked and his eyes widened.

“Oh, no!”, what did he just say?

Didn’t he just say something sarcastic and polite? And didn’t he say anything to keep the guests?

What’s wrong with this man? He’s an emperor, how can he be so shameless?

It’s a pity that this time even his own wife won’t help him.

Li Yaoguang was secretly happy about her husband’s brother’s childishness. Facing her husband’s brother’s astonished look, she stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation, and took Shen Yue, who was protecting her fat daughter, straight to the mansion in the town. Behind her, Ji Mo was dumbfounded, and then looking at their figures walking away together, someone was jealous.

Damn! Why is this back view so annoying? It looks like they are a family of three!
Ji Mo was snorting with anger, and his face looked ferocious, which scared the townspeople who cared about him. Especially when they saw his fists clenched so hard that they could make a cracking sound, everyone wanted to come up and comfort him, the valley master, but Ji Mo didn’t even give them a chance to comfort them, for fear that someone would do something bad again. What if his wife was deceived and ran away? What if they were too soft-hearted?
Thinking of this, Ji Mo’s heart began to beat wildly, his scalp exploded, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Everyone present shook their heads and thought that the Valley Master had become more and more unstable after he got married and had a little Valley Master. Oh, it was so worrying!

No matter how anxious, angry or jealous he was, his wife was in the upper position, and no matter how awkward Ji Mo was, he still entertained the visitor well. After all, he was the king of a country, so he had to maintain his reputation. He entertained the visitor with all his heart, but he was also very cautious.

Shen Yue stayed there for half a month. With Ji Mo’s increasing impatience and covert urging, he finally proposed to leave.

Ji Mo was so ecstatic that he immediately turned into a caring brother, preparing to send his love rival out the door with gifts, then set off a hundred firecrackers to get rid of the bad luck, and immediately took his wife and children out to southern Yunnan to look for the miraculous medicine.

Ji Mo’s plan was very good and his preparations were in place, but he never expected that he had taken all precautions to prevent this guy from hooking up with his wife again, but he couldn’t prevent…

Ji Mo never expected that this guy would leave him a big surprise when he left. Oh no, to be exact, it was a big bomb.

Humming a little tune happily to send away the bad luck, Ji Mo returned home with his wife and children. He happily packed his things for the departure, and then suddenly found that his baby daughter, who was jumping around, had something in her hand.

After getting it and taking a closer look, I found that it was actually a jade piece engraved with dragon patterns. It looked very unusual at first glance, and it might even have a half jade pendant with some meaning on the back.

Ji Mo was shocked and thought to himself, this is bad.

He picked up his daughter in panic, pointed at the half of the jade pendant that she was playing with, and said to her anxiously, “Come here, dear, tell me, where did you get this thing?”

The little girl was naive and ignorant. She tilted her head and opened her big, kazilan eyes, looking innocently at her biological father.

“This is what Granny Shen gave to the baby. Granny Shen said this is the baby’s engagement gift. Doesn’t Daddy know?”

Ji Mo…

After understanding the meaning of his daughter’s words, Ji Mo pinched the jade pendant, gritted his teeth, and shouted angrily in the direction of Kyoto.

“Shen Yue, you bastard, if you can’t rob me, come and rob my daughter. I will never forgive you!”
