Chapter 126 The Jewelry Box Was Also Replaced
Cheng Dajun knew that his former wife’s family—the Yue Family—had a scholarly heritage, and even though they later fell on hard times, the dowry they provided for their daughter was still exquisite.
For instance, the carved sandalwood bed they were still using was such that even when he married Xiao Yuhua and thought about replacing it, Xiao Yuhua kept it because she liked it too much to let it go.
However, the materials of the jewelry picked out by his eldest son were not of high quality.
He knew if his son could tell something was wrong, there must be a reason. So he looked at him and asked, "How did you know these are not your mother’s dowry?" A sardonic smile curved Cheng Jiuhe’s lips: "All of my mom’s jewelry was engraved with a tiny orchid."
Cheng Dajun hurriedly picked up the jewelry still in the box, and indeed, every piece was engraved with a tiny orchid in a hidden spot.
In contrast, none of those orchids could be found on the pieces Cheng Jiuhe had singled out.
"Moreover, the materials are clearly listed on my mom’s dowry inventory. This pair of jadeite jade bracelets is explicitly described as emerald jade bracelets," he said.
