Chapter 123 The Jade Pendant on a Red String
Xia Xi handed the jade pendant to Xia Ruomin, saying, "Keep this jade pendant on you these few days, even when you bathe. You can’t be separated from it. It’s best to find a string and hang it around her so it doesn’t fall off easily."
"Alright, alright, Minmin will keep the jade pendant in her pocket." Wang Shan nodded, quickly took the jade pendant from Xia Xi’s hand, put it in Xia Ruomin’s pocket, and continued to ask after raising her head to look at Xia Xi:
"What should we do next?"
"First, tell me who gave you the pendant? What does it look like?" Xia Xi seated herself and asked, looking at her.
"Yes, why are you accepting things from strangers and even giving them to Minmin to use?" The old patriarch regained his senses and asked sternly, looking at Xia Tian and Wang Shan.
Although Minmin was not quite sure why things had suddenly changed, she knew it had something to do with the pendant around her neck. She quietly nestled in Wang Shan’s arms without uttering a word.
"A week ago, we took Minmin to play at Baima Temple. During our stroll in the temple, in a rather secluded corner, we met an elegantly dressed lady who seemed to have sprained her ankle. We helped her to a pavilion and waited for her aide. During the wait, we chatted and the lady spoke of how cute Minmin was, we had a rather pleasant conversation.
Later, a man came to pick her up, she said he was her husband. Before leaving, she gave Minmin this pendant, because she found her adorable and destined."
"We initially declined the offer, but she was too enthusiastic, so we accepted it. Minmin also liked the pendant and kept wearing it. We didn’t think it would... why would she harm our Minmin?" Wang Shan ended up hugging Minmin and sobbing as she spoke.
"Mama don’t cry." Minmin patted Wang Shan upon hearing her sobs and tried to comfort her.
