She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Manshu smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I will go to rest now."

As she said this, she took the jade mirror away.

When Professor Yan saw this, he refused.

"Leave this jade mirror for me to study carefully."

Manshu frowned, feeling the jade mirror in his palm getting slightly warm, which echoed the phoenix seal at the end of his eye.

It seems that the Phoenix Seal is also getting hot.

She couldn't help but think of some things. Perhaps, this jade mirror was originally something from her Yan family.

Did someone sense the ancestor's ambition and deliberately preserve this jade mirror as a warning to future generations?

"Grandpa, I'll show it to you later. I think I've seen this jade mirror in some book at home. I'll take a few photos and ask the housekeeper to look for it."

"your home?"

Professor Yan was a little puzzled.

how can that be possible?

This thing is in the imperial capital, there is no way it can belong to the Yan family.

But at this moment, Ms. Qin Ru pointed her finger at the lid of the eight-treasure box.

"Look here, is this a person's name?"

Manshu and Professor Yan came over at the same time: "Ah, this seems to be the word Yan."

Although this eight-treasure box may have been used as a cushion on the corner of a table, the word "strict" can indeed be seen from the worn and corroded areas on the lid.

When Ms. Qin Ru opened the eight-treasure box again, she saw a beautiful person's name carved on it next to the inlaid mirror.

"This is Jingzhi. Could it be that Yan Jingzhi is the owner of this Eight Treasure Box?"

"It's not really yours, is it?"

Professor Yan and Ms. Qin Ru both looked at Manshu.

Manshu rubbed her eyebrows. She didn't know much about the people in the Yan family.

Although the old man showed her the ancient books of inheritance, there was no family tree or anything like that.

"What's my stuff?"

Just at this moment, Mr. Yan came in from outside.

He had just returned from visiting an old comrade-in-arms. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards them when he saw his granddaughter and the Yan couple gathered together.

Before I even got close to them, I could hear them whispering something.

"Yan Jingzhi, is she someone from your family?" Professor Yan asked Yan Zhentian directly without any politeness.

"Yan Jingzhi, where did you hear this name? She is my great aunt."

But it’s not from Yan Zhentian’s generation, as he has no brothers or sisters, but from his grandfather’s generation.

The Yan family has always been a large family, but by the time it came to his grandfather's generation, there were only a few members, including his grandfather and his great aunt Yan Jingzhi.

The Yan family advocated finding a son-in-law for Yan Jingzhi, but Yan Jingzhi refused. She later married in the north and had several correspondences with her family.

But later, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were constant wars and the world was in chaos, so my aunt cut off contact with them.

"Speaking of which, my great aunt is a bit strange. My grandfather said that in the first few years when she corresponded with her family, she often asked if there was a girl born in the family."

"It seems that he particularly likes his daughter."

"My aunt also said that if I had a daughter, I would take her to raise."

Something flashed through Manshu's mind, but unfortunately she didn't catch it.

She just looked at the old man: "Grandpa, does my aunt have any notes left at home?"

In fact, ancient books record every descendant of the Yan family, and Mansu only read the previous ones.

In recent generations, it seems to be incomplete.

"Well, it is said that my great grandfather did not agree with my aunt marrying far away, so he removed her name from the family tree. This is also the reason why you have not seen her."

Not only was she removed from the family, but everything related to her in the Yan family was cleared out.
