She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Manshu took the key, but instead of unlocking the door, he called Xiaolong.

She didn't tell Xiaolong the reason, she just asked him to come back and stay at Qiao's home.

About an hour later, Xiaolong arrived home and brought some breakfast.

"I don't know if you guys have eaten yet. Grandpa's cooking skills aren't very good, so I bought some outside."

Manshu had already eaten, but now he took one of the wraps and ate it.

The wraps tasted good and were very refreshing with the vegetables wrapped in them. Manshu ate one and still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Manshu called me back so urgently, is there something wrong?"

When asked this, Manshu handed him the small box to look at.

"I got this from the director of the orphanage. It was a relic of my great aunt."

"My great-grandmother's things?" Xiaolong was a little curious, "Didn't you find the key?"

"We found the key, too. I heard from Old Qiao that it was something you wore around your neck when you were a child."

Xiaolong never expected that the key he hung when he was a child was so special.

He always thought it was the key to the front door of his house.

That was also the only thing his family left him.

"Since you've found the key, just open it. Why did you call me back?"

Manshu smiled and said, "This is your thing, of course you have to open it."

"Then I'll open it?" Xiaolong didn't think there was anything wrong with opening a lock, and he didn't need any sense of ritual.

But when he pointed the key at the keyhole, he hesitated.

"Is this thing really left for me?"

"Not necessarily." Mansu thought that the things in the box might contain the same secret as the jade mirror.

So, only let Xiaolong unlock the door.

When Xiaolong opened the lock, a magical power popped out of the box and Mansu was stunned.

She pressed her hand down and the magic power was quickly absorbed by her.

And the contents of the box were also revealed to everyone.

There was only a thin book inside.

Also, it's like a notebook.

"Could this also be Grandma Zeng's notebook?" Xiaolong didn't sense the magic power at all, he just took the notebook and looked through it.

But there wasn't a single word in it.

But in Manshu's eyes, it was different.

This is not some wordless book.

Manshu could see every word that appeared on it.

"If anyone sees my handwriting, it means I have failed. As expected, a woman has appeared among my descendants."

The first page shocked Mansu.

What does it mean? Is that old lady deliberately trying to prevent the birth of girls among her offspring?

"Since I learned that the Great Witch would be looking for a host, he wanted to deliberately prevent the family from having another daughter. I don't want a child with Yan family blood to suffer the pain I went through."

"It was our ancestors who wanted our lives, so we have to sacrifice them. But who made me reluctant to do so?"

"I want to be on equal terms with my husband, but I don't want her to occupy my body and say a word to him."

"In order to escape fate and live with my husband, I chose to marry far away in the imperial capital."

"At that time, I thought my teacher was just an ordinary talented man who had returned from studying abroad. I didn't expect that what he wanted to do was to create more powerful weapons and bring glory to China."

"I can't stop you, sir, nor can I tell him that my Yan family's ancestor has been pestering me day and night, wanting my body to be her host."

"I pondered for many years before I came up with a solution, which is to stop practicing."

"My Yan family's bloodline is special. It is both the cause and the effect. But if the continuation of the Yan family's bloodline means the continuation of Wu's life, then I don't want that."
