Zhang Xian replied with an excuse, “It’s too dark in the house, so let’s look at it outside! It’s nice and bright out! Oh, come on, Granny! Don’t fuss. There’s no

Zhang Xian had already taken the pendant out as he spoke, and his words cut off as he stood in the courtyard, admiring the crystal-clear jade pendant in his hand under the sunlight. The piece of jade had an old and faded red string tied to it.
