Chapter 178 - 177, Song Family
Seeing Luo Xiuyi’s insistence, Luo Shu did not push the box back and instead opened it to examine the jade pendant.
The jade pendant was translucent and emerald green, clearly carved from a superior quality jade. On the front was a phoenix with outstretched wings ready to take flight, and on the back was the character ’Song’ written in seal script.
Luo Shu looked up at Luo Xiuyi, "Mother couldn’t have been a child from an ordinary family, right?" Such a jade pendant couldn’t be afforded by an ordinary family.
Luo Xiuyi nodded slightly, his slender fingers lightly caressing the patterns on the outer wall of the teacup, a hint of coldness in his eyes, "She was a member of the Song Family."
"The Song Family?" Luo Shu asked in surprise.
"Mmm!" Luo Xiuyi nodded.
Luo Shu frowned slightly, not expecting to have such a connection with the Song Family, "Then why was she sent to Luo Family Village?" With the status of the Song Family, even during those years, they shouldn’t have been unable to protect their own family members, right?
"Out of jealousy, your mother had a twin sister named Song Yuyan, who was in love with a man that fell for your mother. So, Song Yuyan schemed to drive your mother away from the Song Family. To make the Song Family give up on your mother, Song Yuyan bribed the steward’s son, claiming your mother was involved with him and even produced ’evidence’."
