A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1423 - 279: Hidden Barbs and Terrifying Rumors

"Where did you hear it from?" Yun Ya asked.

Lu Yuke hesitated.

Yun Ya laughed: "You can’t even make up a coherent story."

Lu Yuke gritted her teeth and said: "I overheard it from Mu Ziling, that’s Yan Song’s grandma."

Yun Ya clenched her fists, trying to control herself, her heart was pounding like a drum.

So, Grandma really was connected with Brother Yan’s grandma.

"Tell me clearly, how did you hear this, what is the treasure about exactly? If what you say is convincing, I’ll let you meet Fifth Uncle, and if I’m in a good mood, I might even let you go."

At this moment, Lu Yuke had nothing left to hide, so she said: "Back then, I accidentally overheard the conversation between Mu Ziling and Yan Guomao, and that’s how I found out. Harun’s son divided a jade pendant into four pieces to fight for the treasure, with each of his four sons taking one piece. Later, after the war, the brothers went into hiding, not knowing each other’s whereabouts. Only by gathering all four jade pendants can the entrance to the tomb be opened and the treasure, which is worth a fortune, be obtained."

"And the Mu Family, they are the descendants of the second son, Mududana. The Mu Family has one piece of the heirloom jade pendant, which is a quarter of the key to open the treasure. Unfortunately, I broke ties with Mu Ziling later and had no chance to find out the whereabouts of the jade pendant. The Mu Family fell before Mu Ziling died, and they disappeared completely a few years after her death. I secretly searched many times later, but all members of the Mu Family were dead, and I don’t know if the jade pendant was ever found or if it was buried."

"I’ve told you in such detail, surely you don’t still doubt me?"

Yun Ya quietly glanced at her, and that look made Lu Yuke feel uneasy.

Without a word, she turned and left.

"Ji Yunya, the promise you made to me..."

"Fifth Uncle is fine, no need to trouble yourself." With those words, the figure slowly walked away.

"Ji Yunya, how dare you deceive me..."

Lu Yuke’s cursing gradually faded away, Yun Ya’s feet felt solid on the ground, sunlight bathing her, yet her heart was shrouded in gloom.

If Grandma Mu is a descendant of Mududana, then she must have a piece of the jade pendant, and her grandma also had one, being Harun’s descendant too, with names similar... There’s no such coincidence in the world.

Yun Ya felt a chill in her limbs, she walked and sorted her thoughts. So far, she has collected three jade pendants: one from Yun Shu, who said it was obtained from her grandma, then one from Ruan Ming, who said her ancestor was Harun’s third son, Dorian. The third was one she picked up on the train from Murong Zhen, still uncertain who Murong Zhen’s descendant was. According to Lu Yuke, Grandma Mu was a descendant of the second son, Mududana, making it possible her grandma was descended from either the first or fourth son, or maybe directly from Mududana.

What exactly is the relationship between Grandma and Grandma Mu? This question has been troubling Yun Ya. Yun Ya took a deep breath, knowing that things will naturally come to a head. Thinking too much about it now won’t help.

Just taking a few steps, Pei Xinyi came towards her: "Yun Ya, finally found you, Zizi is back today, and my brother-in-law mentioned you were her student. He wants to invite you over to talk, since we’re all family, it would be nice to sit down and catch up with brother-in-law. How about it?"

Yun Ya raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled gracefully: "It would be rude to decline."

Under the sunlight, the girl’s eyes were as beautiful as glass, yet like a mysterious fog, shrouded with enigmatic fireworks.

Pei Xinyi’s heart was startled, but she kept her composure, walked over and took her hand: "Let’s not keep brother-in-law waiting, let’s go."

"I should let Aunt Zhuang know first." Yun Ya said as she reached for her phone.

Pei Xinyi calmly pressed down Yun Ya’s hand, smiling: "I’ve already informed Third Aunt earlier. She was supposed to come too, but something came up last minute, so don’t worry." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Yun Ya smiled and nodded: "Thank you for being so considerate, Fourth Aunt."

Pei Xinyi smiled insincerely, quickly taking Yun Ya away.

A hint of coldness crossed Yun Ya’s lowered eyes, her smile growing softer.

Yan Zi had been having nightmares recently because of the incident with Lu Mingzhu, she had nightmares about the ghost of Lu Mingzhu coming to claim her life, waking up in terror every night. She was exhausted and looked very haggard.

Jiang Li was taken to the police station back then, but without direct evidence, no one could confirm Jiang Li as the murderer. After the detention period, she was released on bail by a lawyer. An authority gave a call, no one was foolish enough to pursue it further, treating it as an accident.
