This jade pendant...

He Jingyi remembered that when she video-chatted with Chaochao last time, the little girl mentioned that she really liked the jade pendant she had given her.

At the time, she didn't think anything was wrong. She just thought that maybe her younger brother and sister-in-law had mentioned the gift she had given them two years ago when they introduced her as their aunt.

But she didn't expect that the jade pendant would still be on Chaochao, which was quite unusual.

She looked up at Jian Yunsang, her tone somewhat subtle, "I didn't expect that Chaochao would bring the jade pendant back safely after spending two years in Shangliu Village. I thought it had been stolen long ago. Was it that person named Ashan who helped Chaochao find the jade pendant?"

Jian Yunsang sighed inwardly and could only nod, "Yes, it was also Ah Shan who helped find it."

"Is that so?" He Jingyi didn't say anything more.

Emperor Jingxuan, standing beneath the sky, raised an eyebrow. "I believe that this Lord He must have sensed something."

The Grand Tutor stroked his beard. "A person who can become a high-ranking official at such a young age must be quite remarkable. But to be able to deduce that there is something unusual about Chaochao's disappearance based on just a jade pendant is already quite astute."

"But even if she is very perceptive, at most she can guess that there is something wrong with this Shangliu Village or Ashan who helped Chaochao return. She would never have imagined that Chaochao had traveled to our Daqi in the past two years."

"This Lord He has an extraordinary aura. Miss Jian's presence is much weaker in front of him."

"I just don't know how Miss Jian will deal with Lord He's question. Do you think she will tell the truth?" Explaining Chaochao's experiences over the past two years, explaining Ashan's existence, and explaining their efforts to accumulate energy points.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed; He Jingyi had no intention of asking any further questions.

Seeing that Jian Yunsang didn't intend to say anything more, she knew that her family already knew about the matter and she didn't need to worry about it.

He Jingyi focused on talking to Chaochao, and eventually gave her the gift she wanted to give.

Even though Chaochao didn't want to accept it, she was no match for He Jingyi. With just a few words, He Jingyi made her feel that if she didn't accept it, she would be letting down her aunt's good intentions.

The children under the sky all envied Chaochao.

"I wish I had an aunt like that, who sends gifts every few days, and they're always nice things. My aunt just comes back to freeload, taking everything home for herself."

"My aunt does bring me food, but she always scolds me for being greedy. She gives me food and then scolds me at the same time. She's just like that schizophrenic character in the movie. Yes, she's schizophrenic."

"Chaochao's aunt is a high-ranking official, unlike ours."

He Jingyi didn't talk to Chaochao for long, as she was very busy and soon went to her study to handle official business.

But Chaochao was very happy. After returning to her room, she said to Jian Yunsang, "Mom, I love Auntie so much. I met Sister Linlan's aunt when we were in Shangliu Village. Her aunt would give her things to eat. I thought to myself, I wish I had an aunt too. It turns out I really do have one, and she's the best aunt."

Lin Lan, who was mentioned by her, couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yes, her aunt would indeed bring her food, but little did Chaochao know that it was all for a purpose.

Seeing this, Lin Tian patted her shoulder and said, "Don't think about it anymore. Anyway, your aunt won't mention your marriage again when you get back. Just keep your distance from her in the future."

"We definitely can't cut off contact; otherwise, their whole family will be accused of being petty and smug." Lin Lan nodded. They were packing their bags at the moment; they had been in the capital for almost a month.

They were summoned by the emperor several times during this period, and they said everything that needed to be said. They couldn't stay there forever, so after receiving their rewards, they prepared to set off to return home.

The emperor had indeed asked them if they wanted to stay in the capital, but unfortunately, although the capital was bustling and dazzling, it wasn't their hometown. Their family and friends were all in Huaiping County. Being in an unfamiliar place, they couldn't afford even the daily expenses, let alone anything else.

But the emperor had promised that even if they returned to Huaiping County, he would have Gao Hongfei give them a way out.

Leaving aside the others, Da Shan and Lin Tian have already been confirmed to be working at the county government.

Lin Lan and Daya, having received the Empress Dowager's decree, will lead professionals back to the county town to establish a girls' academy, and they will be among the first students to enroll.

Grandpa and Grandma Zhou are old and can't do much, so they just took the reward as their retirement money and don't need to worry about the future.

After considering it, Aunt Yu decided to go work at the orphanage.

Liangping wanted to study and learn to read. During this time, whether he was following Tianmu or Guo Xiucai, he had studied diligently and learned quite a few characters. Now that he had money, he didn't dare to think about taking the imperial examination, but learning more knowledge was definitely not a problem.

However, after hesitating for three days, Guo Xiucai chose to stay in the capital.

He originally planned to take all the exams to get to the capital, but he's just arrived ahead of schedule.

Emperor Jingxuan tested his knowledge and found that he was quite intelligent, but lacked resources.

Huaiping County was ultimately just a small county town, and the scholars there had limited knowledge and experience, so they could no longer offer Guo Xiucai much help.

Therefore, Emperor Jingxuan granted him a place to enter the Imperial Academy. During this time, Guo Xiucai mustered up his courage to visit several famous scholars and Confucian masters, and was successfully accepted as a student by one of them.

Guo Xiucai didn't care whether this person genuinely thought he was a promising talent or whether he accepted him because he came from Huaiping County and had been praised by the court officials. These things didn't matter; what mattered most was what he could learn in the future.

So while everyone else was packing their luggage, Guo Xiucai had nothing to do. In fact, seeing how eager they were to return home, he felt a little sad.

Dashan glanced at him and said, "Didn't you already send a letter to your wife and children? They'll be coming to visit you soon, so you won't be lonely."

Guo Xiucai, unusually abandoning his refined manners, rolled his eyes. "Is that why I'm sad?"

He truly couldn't bear to part with these fellow villagers who had shared life and death with him along the way. Before, when he was studying in the county town, he had little interaction with the villagers, and even less with people like Da Shan, Lin Tian, ​​who he had almost no connection with. This was the first time they had supported and relied on each other all the way to the capital, witnessing life and death together. He had never experienced this kind of subtle emotion before.

Lin Tian and the others exchanged glances, and after thinking for a moment, decided to comfort him.

Suddenly, they heard Chaochao's surprised voice from the sky, "Mom, I've gained another 300 energy points."

Before Jian Yunsang could react, Emperor Jingxuan suddenly stood up, his eyes shining as he shouted uncontrollably, "More than ten thousand! Isn't it more than ten thousand?"
