Zhang Xian was stunned. “That’s really bold of my great-aunt, daring to kidnap a child from such a family!”

Zhang Tao rolled her eyes at him again. “You don’t understand; the wealthier the family, the more complicated it is. Think about it; if no one helped her, how could your great-aunt manage to steal away with the child?”

“Ah?” Zhang Xian responded, clearly unable to wrap his head around what Zhang Tao was saying.

Zhang Tao brought the topic back to the jade pendant and told him, “That jade pendant the child wore was from her mother’s dowry. It was blessed by an eminent monk. That aside, the pendant is priceless just by the quality of the jade itself! I heard it’s worth enough to buy the entire White City!”

Zhang Xian’s jaw dropped in shock, but his lips soon curled in disbelief, and he said, “Yeah, right. My great-aunt wouldn’t have left the pendant with you if that was the case. She would have taken it long ago if it truly was that valuable. She had already left you the child. Why would she give you the treasure as well?”

Zhang Tao smiled proudly. “Of course, she wouldn’t have left me the pendant. I got it with my own skills!”

Zhang Xian was surprised and hurriedly urged Zhang Tao to explain. Zhang Tao recounted, “Your great-aunt was in a terrible state when she brought that child here. She said she’d been on the run and hadn’t slept for three days. She fell asleep almost immediately after she arrived at our house. Since she’d fallen asleep, I had to take care of the child. I didn’t know how much the jade pendant was worth, but I decided to put it away first when I saw it. That little girl was a wild child and even bit me when I took it off her.”

She stretched out her hand to show Zhang Xian the long-gone teeth marks on her twig-like hand. “I was afraid she would cry and also afraid she would tell your great-aunt, so I told her that if the baddie who captured her woke up and saw the pendant_ she would definitely ghatch it away I told her T would keen it

safe for her for now, and if the baddie asks about it, just say that she’d lost it somewhere.”

Zhang Tao proudly told her grandson how she tricked his great-aunt and the little girl back then. “To make her feel at ease, we hid the pendant together, and I let her know its hiding spot. Only then did she feel at ease.”
