Truth of the Past

Her last sentence caused a chill to travel deep into Fu Cuihua's bones.

Fu Cuihua felt goosebumps all over her body.

Her arms and legs trembled, and her eyes that had stopped crying started to tear up again.

She looked like an extremely helpless and frail lady.

But this lady was not completely worth sympathizing for.

"You and Zhang Changming are not educated, but still gave me the name of Jun Ci. Auntie, what does this name even mean?"

Her cold intonation carried a hint of lethargy.

As though asking the question to pass time.

But Fu Cuihua's tears started pouring as she answered.

"That year… that year when we picked you up…"

It turned out that when Zhang Changming and Fu Cuihua picked Jun Ci up by the roadside in the past, they had already had Zhang Nian, but they were hard-pressed for money, and Zhang Nian did not even have milk money.

How could they adopt Jun Ci?

But they found a piece of jade on Jun Ci's neck with the word Jun Ci engraved onto it.

At that time, Zhang Changming had thought it was just an ordinary product and had decided to bring it to a specialized store to check it out.

Who would have imagined that the piece of jade would be extremely valuable and worth a few hundred thousand dollars at the time.

A few hundred thousand dollars. With inflation, it would be worth a few million.

Zhang Changming had rejoiced but was still clever with it. He had found someone from the black market and had dealt with the jade there.

They had even changed locations for it.

As for Jun Ci, it was because of Zhang Changming's dirty act that Fu Cuihua became afraid, so they adopted Jun Ci.

Jun Ci's name naturally came from the jade carving.

The name was even provided by the specialized shop store owner.

Being lazy and disliking trouble, Zhang Changming gave the kid the name of Jun Ci.

"I… Our family has let you down. Auntie's home gave Auntie a few thousand dollars, Auntie will give it to you. Leave this place and don't ever come back, I will work extremely hard to repay you whatever the Zhang family owes!"

Jun Ci's eyes did not change a bit after hearing Fu Cuihua's words.

It was as though she was listening to someone else's story.

Aside from the fact that she felt slightly disappointed in the original owner of the body.

When she saw that Fu Cuihua was about to kneel to her, she immediately retreated two steps. "Auntie, we're already at this point, yet you still want to help that bastard Zhang Changming bring up the rear? It is a jade worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you've enslaved me for so many years, you think a few thousand dollars can resolve this?"

She did not care about the few thousands of dollars!

"Where did you sell the jade to?"

Since it was related to Jun Ci, she had to ask.

"I… I don't know."

Fu Cuihua cried even harder, "When we sold it, Old Zhang brought us and moved homes, I don't even know who we sold the jade to…"

Tsk.

Seems like it will be a bit of trouble.

"The jade has the name Jun Ci engraved on it, so it will be easy to find. Your highness, Gu Lu will organize the black market transactions and find out about the circulation of the jade."

From Fu Cuihua's words, it had first been transacted at a place called Constellation City, as they were situated in an old town back then and had to sell it at a city.

"Your Highness, Zhang Chagming's method of dealing with the jade is unlike something he could come up with himself. According to Gu Lu's analysis, someone hidden behind the shadows must have guided him. Although Fu Cuihua's emotions were intense, there weren't any signs of her lying. She did not hide anything, but she really does not know anymore."

"For anything else, we need to ask Zhang Changming himself to find out."
