"Alright then," Qin Ye thought of his in-laws being around, so he knew he had to make time tomorrow to head to town and buy some items.
Especially since his father-in-law was in poor health, he needed to visit the black market to see if he could buy some nutritious items.
Rong Yan watched him put the money away, then breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "Do you want to check the wooden box?"
Qin Ye actually wanted to say there was nothing interesting to see, but then he thought about the chance to be alone with his wife, so he nodded, "Okay!"
"Alright, letās head back to the room," Rong Yan said, walking ahead.
Qin Ye had been waiting for just those words, and immediately followed her.
The two entered the room, one after the other, with Rong Yan saying, "You go ahead and sit down, Iāll bring it over."
She had hidden the small wooden box in a space, needing to discretely take it out, otherwise it would be hard to explain.
After all, she didnāt want to reveal her special space yet.
Qin Ye nodded, "Okay."
Then he sat down solemnly on the kang.
Rong Yan looked at his expressionālike a well-behaved student, her lips twitching uncontrollably.
She walked to her own chest to get the key, then continued fiddling with the cover as a disguise while she took the wooden box out from the space.
She walked back to Qin Yeās side and handed him the small wooden box.
"Take a look yourself."
"Actually, thereās not much inside, just a slightly damaged Jade Pendant. The three gold blocks I gave you last time were taken from here."
Rong Yan: ...
So, the gold bar he gave was actually his grandmotherās.
It seemed his grandma was quite remarkable to have kept such valuable items away from the rest of the family.
Qin Ye opened the small wooden box and took out the damaged Jade Pendant.
"This is it, probably a gift from my grandmaās family, but it doesnāt reveal anything else."
Rong Yan took the Jade Pendant and examined it carefully, "Although this Jade Pendant is damaged, the quality of the jade is very good, it could be quite valuable in the future. Let me take a look at this wooden box."
Hearing her words, Qin Ye immediately handed over the wooden box he was holding.
Rong Yan hadnāt inspected it closely before, but now she noticed it was made of rosewood.
Moreover, the craftsmanship was very delicate, not something a common carpenter could achieve, plus that lock... entirely bronze, very ancient, definitely a valuable antique.
Qin Ye didnāt say anything, his gaze first lingered on the wooden box, then shifted to her face... his wife really looked beautiful.
He had never seen anyone with skin whiter than hers.
Around here, the girls often worked in the fields, not only a bit darker, but also quite rough.
Not like his wife... her skin was tender and smooth like a peeled egg, tempting to touch.
Rong Yan: ...
Was she supposed to play dead under such a scorching gaze?
However, her focus was still on the small wooden box in her hands, flipping it over and over, and she eventually discovered something.
"Look at this."
She opened the secret panel.
Most secret compartments are at the bottom, but this wooden boxās secret compartment was in the lid.
She pulled out a paper from inside, didnāt look at it, and handed it directly to Qin Ye.
Qin Ye saw the aged paper and was somewhat surprised.
Actually, he had only opened this wooden box three times and hadnāt inspected it thoroughly.
He hadnāt expected to find this hidden inside.
So, he began reading the contents on the paper carefully...
