Chapter 1947 - 121: Relic
Many things from those years have become blurred, but to this day, the eldest miss still remembers that among the vast sea of people, she could never find anyone. Her mother’s heart gradually grew cold. Although she persisted, she had actually resigned herself to fate.
It happened once when she accompanied her mother on an outing for negotiations. On that day, tempted by hunger, she bought a string of candied haws on the street and ate it while walking. Suddenly, she noticed a beggar-like child in the crowd, and that child had a yellow wooden bead bracelet on their hand.
This was once the keepsake that ’that person’ never parted with back in those years. Her mother had drawn it on paper, and having seen it before, plus having a good memory, she recognized it instantly.
Later, she told her mother about it. Her mother wept with joy and subsequently mobilized a lot of manpower, and they found the beggar child the next morning.
From that moment on, the Yan family gained a Miss Xiyu.
The eldest miss coldly withdrew her gaze, leading Li Luo outside, but Li Luo was too stunned to regain her senses. Yan Xiyu was even more shocked, looking almost dazed, as if she was wearing a deathly expression.
Li Luo stood still, her cold, piercing gaze fixed on Yan Xiyu.
"That bead bracelet is clearly mine. It’s a keepsake left to me by my mother!"
The truth was revealed at that moment.
Li Luo’s voice was as hoarse as the wind and sand.
Yan Xiyu staggered, stumbling into a nearby cabinet.
Suddenly, she denied it.
"No, shut up! Stop making up nonsense here! I know, Li Luo, you’re just jealous of me. You’re trying to stir up trouble!"
Li Luo’s words not only caused a strong reaction in Yan Xiyu but also sent a tremor through the Yan family.
The long-silent Yan Family Master stepped forward shakily, asking in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Li Luo closed her eyes tightly, scenes from the past vividly reappearing before her, making her feel utterly ridiculous.
"I said, that is the keepsake my mother left for me and my brother!"
This was almost a roar.
With eyes reddened in anger, she bit her lip in pain, tightly clenching her fists.
"My mother was deaf, and she couldn’t speak. She died early, with many scars on her face. She died of illness."
She sniffled.
"When my mother passed away, she pressed this bracelet into my palm, and later I met Yan Xiyu. She took a liking to my item, and while I wasn’t paying attention, she took it from my mother’s jewelry box to wear for fun."
"At that time, we got along well. I couldn’t get angry with her over something like this, especially since she said she would return it after wearing it for just two days."
"Soon after, you came. You only said she was the Yan family’s eldest miss, but I didn’t know why you were so certain of her identity. So it was... this was the reason."
Li Luo never knew about the yellow wooden beaded bracelet.
Later, when Yan Xiyu returned to the Yan family, Li Luo thought about reclaiming her mother’s keepsake.
But as one can imagine, Yan Xiyu’s identity and treatment all depended on it. How could she possibly give up such easily attainable wealth?
How old was Yan Xiyu at the time? She was still just a child. But children might not be without scheming; they might not truly be innocent of right and wrong.
...
The turn of events in this matter was too astonishingly unexpected, including for everyone in the Yan family.
The downfall of Yan Xiyu’s grand facade was a fact. This secret, hidden for years, was exposed in one morning, instantly shattering her standing.
Moreover, it was at the moment Li Luo unveiled the truth that the poison Li Luo had previously administered on Yan Xiyu started to fully take effect.
