"Jade pendant?"
Li Zhao stopped in his steps and muttered.
"It's the jade pendant you showed me. Do you know who it belongs to?" Xia Wuji said quickly when he saw Li Zhao stop, and walked over quickly.
Li Zhao paused. Of course he remembered this jade pendant. It was hanging on his chest. Of course he knew who it belonged to. It was his mother who gave it to him. It was the only gift her mother gave him before she disappeared.
But why did Xia Wuji ask this? He had only seen Jade Pendant once. Could it be that he knew Jade Pendant? If that's the case, he must recognize his mother.
At that time, my mother left because her father was bankrupt. She left without saying a word, leaving the jade pendant behind and then disappeared. At that time, he had searched for it alone, but he was helpless and unable to find it, so he had to put the search aside for the time being. , but his mother disappeared without a chance, and he has always been worried about it, and the heart of searching has not faded.
After taking control of Chang'an Township and having a certain network of contacts, he also sent people to search for him, but too much time had passed and looking for a person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He once asked his uncle, but his uncle had no idea than he did, so the idea was put on hold.
At this moment, Xia Wuji said this, which caught his attention, and his heart burned again.
Since Xia Wuji knows about the jade pendant, he must know about his mother!
"Whose? Of course it belongs to my mother." Li Zhao turned around and walked over slowly, his eyes full of expectation, "Do you know my mother? Where is she? Please tell me, you must tell me .”
Xia Wuqi didn't expect Li Zhao to have such a big reaction, but seeing such an expression, his heart sank. It was not difficult to see that his daughter must be gone or disappeared.
His face showed a slump for a moment, but he couldn't be sad at the moment. He wanted to prevent the two of them from being together, so he suppressed his heartache but said excitedly: "Is your mother A Fang?"
"Afang?" Li Zhao shook his head. His mother's name was not Afang, but Lu'e. She was a beautiful and virtuous mother who loved him very much.
"No, my mother's name is Lu'e, but she disappeared for a long time."
Hearing the word "disappear", Xia Wuqi was happy, as long as he was not gone, it would be fine. But when he heard the word "Lv'e", his expression suddenly became depressed.
She was so disappointed that her words were a little incoherent, "Lu'e, how is it possible? Isn't her name called Afang? She must be Afang."
The old man came over quickly, held Li Zhao's hand tightly and pulled it uncontrollably.
Li Zhao was pinched in pain, but seeing the old man's expression, his eyes were a little confused, but he couldn't understand why he was so excited. His mother's name is Lu'e, how can Afang come?
"A Fang?" Hearing this name, Li Zhao paused in his heart. The name was very familiar. He remembered, wasn't this the woman who accompanied Qin Shihuang when he was in Zhao State?
Oh, by the way, Afang is Xia Yufang, the daughter of Xia Wuji, haha! No wonder the old man was so excited, he was looking for his daughter.
Also, from the unofficial history I read in my previous life, I know that Xia Yufang's status was low. After Qin Shihuang succeeded to the throne, he wanted to take Afang as his queen, but he was opposed by the clan. A Fang did not want to implicate her Zheng brother, so he committed suicide.
This is what the unofficial history says, but no one can verify whether it is actually true.
It's no wonder, Xia Wuqie lost her daughter in old age and is still her only daughter. With such news, it is certain to be excited.
Wait, no, Xia Wuji has lost her daughter for so long, and she should have been indifferent to it. Why is she so rude now and mentions the jade pendant? Of course, after seeing the jade pendant in Chang'an Township, she seems to be very abnormal, that is He said that the old man recognized this jade pendant, and it was from it that he learned about Afang.
Jade pendant?
Li Zhao fell into deep thought.
If he remembered it well, there was no record of the jade pendant in the unofficial history, and the old man must have recognized the jade pendant when he saw it so rude, and it was probably his daughter's.
Doesn't this mean that the jade pendant really belongs to Afang?
Li Zhao shook his head alone.
No, his mother is not Afang. She has never mentioned that she is Afang, nor has she ever said that she has a relationship with Qin Shihuang. She is just a very ordinary woman who never leaves the house or steps forward, a typical ancient woman.
Could it be that Mom took Afang’s jade pendant, but that’s not right!
The jade pendant was given to him by his mother personally, and she said that it was her most precious thing and she must keep it well. If you care so much about this thing, how can you take it from someone else?
Li Zhao couldn't understand it at all. Seeing that the old man was so anxious, he said:
"Xia Gong, you must have made a mistake. My mother is not Afang."
"Impossible, she is Afang." Xia Wuji couldn't accept this fact. He stared at Li Zhao and took out an old animal skin without knowing where to look.
"Is your mother similar to the woman in this painting?"
When the animal skin is opened, a painting appears. The painting is so exquisite that you can see it clearly with every frown and smile.
This is a painting of a woman. The woman is very beautiful and very young. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find that there is a trace of melancholy vividly painted in the corner of the eye.
Li Zhao took a closer look, his heart skipped a beat, his face was extremely surprised, and he couldn't help but retreat, "This, this is my mother."
