Yan Xia's voice arrived before he did.

The moment she stepped into the house, she saw the maid who had just entered come out.

"Humph, you still remember to come. Why, now that you have the Night Pearl, you are so bold?"

Yan Xia's smile froze.

How did Fan know about this?

Depend on!

She had already thought of an excuse on the way, but now she had to change it.

Yan Xia's mind was working rapidly.

"Madam, your words make me very sad. Do you know that I almost lost my life in order to give you the Night Pearl?"

Yan Xia rubbed her eyes deliberately and started crying coquettishly.

"Do you really have a night-shining pearl?"

Fan just heard the rumors outside and wanted to irritate Yan Xia.

I didn't expect the truth to come out.

"Of course I have. I haven't seen you for a long time, old lady, and I miss you so much. Before the New Year, I wanted to visit you, but how could I come empty-handed? At the beginning, I promised you that I would fill your stolen jewelry, but I was overwhelmed and couldn't find any jewelry that matched yours, so I had to delay coming. I wandered around looking for treasures, and by chance, I bought this pearl in front of a stall in Shu County a few months ago.

The seller had never been to school and didn't know what a night-shining pearl was. He only told me that the pearl would occasionally glow and that he had picked up two of them in a cave. I bought one with some doubts. When I came back, I saw that the pearl didn't glow either, so I threw it into the warehouse and didn't care about it. But a few nights ago, I asked the maid to go to the warehouse to get something, and she told me that there was something glowing in the warehouse! Unexpectedly, the pearl was really a night-shining pearl!

The reason for the glow is that it will only light up in very dim light. Just when I was surprised, I thought about returning to Shu County and buying another one, and then giving one to you and the young lady. Wouldn't it be wonderful! But this time, I ruined the matter. The man who set up the stall did not show up after the New Year, and no one knew where he went. I had to go home first. Who knew that someone broke into the mansion two days ago. Fortunately, the servants knew some boxing skills and scared the two people away. "

Yan Xia cried and cried with fear on her face, as if she was thinking about what happened that night and fear was rising in her heart.

"It's just that they ran in such a hurry that their clothes were torn by the branches, leaving behind a piece of cloth. I have never seen this kind of material before." Yan Xia pretended to pull out her sleeves, but in fact she took out a strip of cloth from the space.

Fan took the cloth and looked at it.

Sudden.

Her pupils shrank.

This cloth is actually the unique quenched cloth of the imperial city. It is cheap, and the clothes are thick but light. It only comes in two colors, black and gray. It is dirt-resistant, wear-resistant, and many dignitaries use this cloth to make clothes for their servants and secret guards.

Fan's face was tense, and Yan Xia saw it. She raised her eyelids, hunched her back and remained silent.

In fact, her words do not stand up to scrutiny, but with this piece of cloth as evidence, what she said just now is naturally convincing.

The house was unusually quiet.

Yan Xia waited for half an incense stick of time.

Fan then spoke slowly.

"It seems that I misunderstood you. Where is the night pearl?" While speaking, Fan's eyes were fixed on the wooden box in Yan Xia's hand.

You are simply asking a question even though you already know the answer.

"Please accept it, old lady."

Yan Xia opened the wooden box and put it on the table.

I saw a glittering and round bead in the wooden box.

As big as a fist.

Greed appeared in Fan's eyes. She took out the beads with her own hands and looked at them again and again with love.

"Madam, as long as you turn off the candles in the room, the night pearl will glow." Yan Xia reminded her.

"Blow out the candle quickly." Fan said to the maid.

"Yes, old lady." The two maids standing on the left and right extinguished the five candles in the room, but the room did not darken, because the moment the candles were extinguished, the light of the beads enveloped the entire room.

"Beautiful, so beautiful! There really are night pearls in this world—" Fan and the two maids were stunned.

"Congratulations to the old lady for obtaining the Night Pearl. Seeing the old lady's smile is worth it even if I lose my life!" Yan Xia suddenly knelt on the ground and cried with joy.

"Haha, kid, you are still so polite after such a long time. Hurry up and help Yan up. This night-shining pearl is really valuable. You are so thoughtful. I misunderstood you just now. Don't take it to heart. I got angry because I heard rumors outside that you secretly kept the night-shining pearl."

Fan got the treasure.

Naturally, he was much more polite to Yan Xia.

"How could I be angry with the old lady? It's just that I don't understand why people outside know that I have the Night Pearl? I have never told anyone about this, not even my children. Only my personal maid knows. I hold her indenture in my hand. She eats and sleeps with me every day. She even almost lost her life to save me before. She would never betray me. So, who let the news that I have the Night Pearl spread?

Also, why did the stall owner suddenly disappear when I went to look for him? Where is the remaining night-shining pearl? What was the intention of the person who spread the news that I had a night-shining pearl? Could it be that he wanted to divert attention so that those treasure hunters would attack me? Another thing, why did the black-clad man who broke into my house get the news so quickly? It was only a few days ago that I knew that the pearl I bought was a night-shining pearl. It's so strange and unbelievable."

Yan Xia sat in the chair, her face full of confusion.

Fan was also in deep thought.

Yes, Yan only knew about the night-shining pearl a few days ago.

Even if the maid betrayed her.

It is also impossible for the news to reach the capital in just a few days.

So, who was the person who actually exposed the Night Pearl?

Fan thought about how so many people suddenly flocked to the imperial city to look for the night pearl.

Instantly awake.

Therefore, the first place that the news of the advent of the Night-Shining Pearl spread was the Imperial City. The person who owned the Night-Shining Pearl was afraid that someone else would snatch it away, so he turned his attention to the Yan family in Jiangnan.

The person who bought the other night pearl was from the imperial city.

It seems that the stall owner has confessed everything.

Fan suddenly realized.

Think about it this way.

Everything can be explained.

So the Yan family suffered an unexpected disaster.

Fan held the night pearl in her palm and saw tears in Yan Xia's eyes, looking at her with admiration. Her love for Yan Xia increased a little more.

Thinking back to how Yan Xia had been in danger of death when a villain broke into her house at night in order to find this night pearl for her, Fan looked at Yan Xia with heartache.

"Thank you for your hard work, kid. From now on, you are my goddaughter. We won't tell anyone about this. I know you don't want to show off. From now on, you can call me old lady in public, and call me godmother in private."

As Fan spoke, the system sound in Yan Xia's mind rang.

Fan's favorability suddenly rose to 90 points!

"Godmother!"

Yan Xia pretended to be excited and hugged Fan's legs.

Seems to be moved to the extreme.
