Chapter 25: The Reappearance Of The Jade Bracelet.
Not long after Yan Dao left, and as she was wallowing in her misfortune, footsteps sounded behind her once again. Thinking that her second brother had returned stubbornly, she immediately threw a pillow towards the sound, “Why have you returned? Hmph!”
Only to see Yan Jing standing near the door, smiling gently with the pillow in one hand and a food tray balanced on the other.
“Yan Dao mentioned that you’re awake, do have some porridge.”
“Take it away, I don’t wish to eat.”
As if he had not heard her words, he stirred the porridge slightly before take a spoonful and placing it near her lips, “Open up.”
His words were firm and strong, obviously not taking no for an answer, causing her to shut up quickly before unwillingly accepting her fate of being hand-fed.
“Good girl, you shouldn’t starve yourself just because you’re angry, otherwise I would get upset at you.”
And when he’s upset, misfortune shall befell on her…
“You monster!” She muttered unhappily at his words.
“En.” Yan Jing nodded happily, though this was not the first time he had been called a ‘monster’, the people who had called him that had probably decayed in their graves, but somehow, he had not felt any anger when she said it.
Reaching within his shirt, he grabbed an exquisite pouch before placing it on her hand.
The raging Yan Luan, who was prepared to retort against him once again, froze in her tracks as she stared at the object in shock.
“I received this from the Northern Royal family. I had intended to gift it to you during your adulthood party, but it seems that it was much more appropriate to gift it to you now.”
[The emperor had received a jade bracelet from the northerners and gifted it to his sister.]
Yan Luan sat up from the bed hurriedly, ignoring the pain between her thighs as she grasped onto the jaded bracelet, recalling Auntie Lee’s words… She had found this bracelet from her ancestor home and after having those unending wet dreams, she was sent here…
Now that she thought about it, the dreams seemed to overlap with this place, as the familiar voices within her dreams had called her ‘Ah Luan‘.
“This bracelet… Then I am…?”
The inevitable questions that she had avoided until now, were once again raised, but if she’s the real Yan Luan, then who was the previous owner of this body?
“What are you thinking? Do you really like this bracelet? It seems that it was right to spare him.” Yan Jing patted her head gently and lovingly.
“Him? Who?”
“Ah, he’s the infamous northern witch, father had prevented us from killing him as his powers were strong, but he had suddenly given me this bracelet, telling me to pass it to you while claiming that you would definitely like it.”
Yan Jing stared at the panicked and confused Yan Luan aa his eyes flashed complicatedly. No, of course that wasn’t the only reason of sparing that man’s life… As he had other reasons for bringing back this bracelet.
The northern witch? She remembered Auntie Lee mentioning that the northerners were strong witches and her bracelet had hailed from the northern royalties. Not only that, her bracelet was said to hold the power to distort time and space.
“Are we able to find this witch once more?” For some strange reasons, she could feel a sense of dread crawling within her. If all of these had happened because of this bracelet, then perhaps the witch would know something about this situation?
“Of course was can.” Yan Jing nodded his head in confirmation as he gazed at her anxiousness, “Ah Luan, can you tell me what actually happened previously at House Chu? Why would Chu YunShang push you into the pond for no reason?”
Yan Luan furrowed her brows tightly together, How would I know?
