64 Setting Up A Market Stall 5

After Madam Wu explained everything, she was worried her daughter would not believe her, so she even went through the box under the bed-stove and rummaged through it for a while before emerging with a handkerchief. She unfolded it carefully and revealed a beautiful jade amulet and the white jade ring.

Qi Qingzhu took the amulet. It was cool to the touch, and she examined it closely.

Rather than an amulet, it was more like a jade tablet.

The tablet was the size of her palm and had a phoenix engraved on it. There were words carved in the back, in what looked like seal script. She could not read them, though.

Qi Qingzhu then looked at the white jade ring. There was another engraving on the inner side of the band, but she could not read that either.

"So you're saying Yaoyao isn't my younger sister by blood," Qi Qingzhu said slowly.

Madam Wu lowered her voice. "If she really is my daughter, would I treat her like that?"
