Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

The rabbit carved out of emerald green jade has red eyes as if the rabbit came alive.

Gu Qinghe obviously saw it too, and was a little surprised, "Isn't this the one your father gave you?"

Before Lu Zhiyao could react, Gu Qinghe had already called the shopkeeper over.

The red spots on Gu Qinghe's face were so easy to spot that the shopkeeper recognized them at a glance and greeted them with a smile, "Do you like this jade hairpin?"

The shopkeeper had seen Gu Qinghe and Shao Wei walking together before. Her small shop was able to continue to operate thanks to Shao Wei's care. Since these two people knew Shao Wei, it would be fine to give it to them as a gift, just a jade hairpin that was not worth much.

So she took off the hairpin directly, wrapped it up without saying anything, and handed it to Gu Qinghe, "It's not worth much, if you like it, just take it and wear it."

Gu Qinghe shook his head, took out the hairpin and examined it carefully, then handed it to Lu Zhiyao, "Is this the one?"

Chen Fanzhi likes to study these things when he doesn't have heavy schoolwork. He especially likes to see Lu Zhiyao wearing the jewelry he made himself.

Earrings, silver hairpin, and hand-carved jade necklace. This jade hairpin was given to her by Chen Fanzhi two years ago.

Although the quality of the jade was not very good, what was important to the couple was the affection. Lu Zhiyao liked the rabbit on the hairpin and often wore it.

Last year, this hairpin accidentally fell and a tiny crack appeared on it, which can only be seen if you look carefully.

After stroking the crack on the hairpin for a while, she nodded, "This is it."

The shopkeeper also noticed something and asked cautiously, "Is this hairpin yours?"

Gu Qinghe shook her head. "It's something from an old friend. I wonder if the shopkeeper still remembers where this hairpin came from?"

The hairpin was of poor quality and had cracks on it, so it couldn't be sold for a high price. However, the rabbit on it looked lifelike, so he accepted it.

In addition, the price offered by the person who came to sell the hairpin was so low that he was deeply impressed.

"He's a man. He looks quite noble. His accent is somewhat similar to yours."

Gu Qinghe and Lu Zhiyao looked at each other and basically knew who this person was.

The shopkeeper was still recalling, "It was a coincidence. This man came in with this hairpin, asked for only one penny, said it was worthless, left it here to sell to a random owner, and left."

"Firstly, there is a crack on this hairpin, so it can't be sold at a good price. Secondly, I think this man is angry with his wife and sold it at a low price. Maybe he regretted it soon and wanted to take it back, so he kept it in the warehouse and didn't sell it. Now, as soon as I put it out, you came and recognized this hairpin. It's not a coincidence."

What a coincidence indeed.

Gu Qinghe asked again: "Did this person come here half a year ago?"

"almost."

It is indeed the King of Wu. Only he can do such a thing.

However, Gu Qinghe didn't think that he came here just to sell the hairpin that his father gave to his mother at a low price, but there was no need for him to come all the way to Chizhou.

If he just wanted to see his father's hard work and his mother's favorite thing appear on another woman, he could just find a place to sell the hairpin at a low price.

Or throw it on the ground and watch others pick it up.

Watching the things my mother cherished being passed around without a care in the world, or being worn as ordinary jewelry.

He knew his mother's character. She would not want anything that had passed through someone else's hands.

But Gu Qinghe still felt that the reason why he came to Chizhou in person must be related to Chen Qingshan.

He should have noticed something strange since he didn't see Chen Qingshan's body. After all, he saw Chen Qingshan die with his own eyes.

But the fire was really suspicious. He had been planning this for so long and it couldn't afford the slightest mistake.

Chizhou is close to Lirang, and there are many people with connections there.

That's why he came to Chizhou specifically, wanting to take the opportunity to find out whether Chen Qingshan was really burned to death in the fire or taken away by the Lirang people.

Gu Qinghe looked towards Lu Zhiyao, and saw that she was in a trance, looking at him with surprise and joy, and her shoulders slumped.

Lu Zhiyao could naturally figure out what she could think of.

It seems I have to tell her in advance something I didn't originally plan to tell her.

Before Lu Zhiyao could speak, Gu Qinghe said, "Mom, I know what you want to ask. I'll tell you in detail when we get back to the General's Mansion."

With this worry in mind, I naturally couldn't stroll along the street properly.

The rain outside had not stopped yet. Gu Qinghe took out his purse and took out all the silver from it and handed it to the shopkeeper. "This hairpin means a lot to us. Now that we have seen it today, we must buy it. Shopkeeper, please see if this silver is enough."

"Too much, too much." The shopkeeper practiced pushing hands, "I only spent one penny to buy this hairpin."

"When I first opened this small shop, I encountered some hooligans causing trouble. Fortunately, General Shao passed by at that time. Otherwise, I don't know if I can stand here today. Since you know General Shao, I will give you this hairpin."

That being said, Gu Qinghe naturally couldn't just accept it. It wasn't right for her to accept Shao Wei's favor.

She shook her head. "This hairpin means so much to us that it's worth this much silver."

Seeing her determined expression, the shopkeeper had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing three people standing at the door hesitating, he guessed that they didn't bring umbrellas, so he took out a few umbrellas and handed them to them.

This time Gu Qinghe did not refuse. After thanking him, she picked up Luo Feng and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to pick some books."

The bookstore was not far away. Lu Zhiyao and Xiaohe were holding an umbrella together. Xiaohe noticed Lu Zhiyao's expression and saw that she had been distracted since she saw the hairpin. She was a little worried, "Madam."

Lu Zhiyao hummed, came back to his senses, and smiled at her, "I'm fine."

When he arrived at the bookstore, Luo Feng concentrated on choosing books.

Although he didn't know many words, he preferred to read bizarre ghost stories and various travel notes.

After flipping through a few pages, she felt that there were too many words she didn't know, and her face wrinkled into a bun. "I should have learned more words from the teacher earlier."

When Lu Zhiyao heard this, she glanced over here. The sadness between her brows slowly dissipated when she saw his wrinkled face. She curled her lips and said, "If you have nothing else to do, I can teach you."

Gu Qinghe blinked and said nothing.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, was very excited. He asked Lu Zhiyao and then asked her, "Sister Gu, can I really let my aunt teach me how to read?"

Gu Qinghe nodded, "Not only that, your aunt Lu has traveled to many places in the past, and she should be willing to tell you about it."

Seeing Luo Feng hugging his mother's arm and acting coquettishly, Gu Qinghe slowly let out a breath.
