2163 Chapter 2166
Ling Tianyou was so excited that he blurted out Ruan Mingxiao’s nickname because he had thought for so long before he remembered the origin of that piece of jade.
In an instant, the surroundings became extremely quiet. Everyone looked at Ling Tianyou, and even Ruan Mingxiao looked at him. However, Ruan Mingxiao’s gaze was a little different. He was looking at the gaze of death.
? Ling Tianyou’s expression froze, and then he laughed awkwardly, “That... that... I misspoke, I misspoke!”
However, when everyone turned their gazes away from Ling Tianyou, they noticed that Jun Jun was wearing half a piece of jade on her neck.
“Tianyou, what did you say just now?”Ling Tao asked.
“I said, the jade on Jun Jun’s neck represents the position of the young... er... Master of the mingxiao family.”Ling Tianyou paused, his eyes sweeping over Ruan Mingxiao. Based on his reaction, he decided whether he should continue or not, but now, it seemed that Ruan Mingxiao didn’t have any other reaction other than staring at him. Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but gulp. He reckoned that he wouldn’t be able to get pocket money from Ruan Mingxiao for a long time in the future. With an extremely bitter mood, Ling Tianyou continued, “I saw it in Mingxiao’s study when I was young, but that piece of jade was still a whole piece at that time. Now, Jun Jun Jun is wearing half a piece on her neck.”
Every head of the Ruan family would have a symbol that symbolized their position as head of the family. Ruan Qishan’s was a pen, but that pen was given to Ling Tianya in the end. Ruan Zeyan’s was a piece of jade. After Ruan Mingxiao was born, Ruan Zeyan gave his piece of jade to Ruan Mingxiao as a kind of inheritance.
After hearing Ling Tianyou’s words, everyone around them gasped.
It was simply unbelievable. Ruan Mingxiao had actually given such an important piece of jade to Jun Jun. did that mean that he had also given half of his family head’s authority to Jun Jun?
That was a young lady who had not even entered the Ruan family yet. Ruan Mingxiao had actually done so much for her.
The few madams and young ladies who had been clamoring earlier were all listless, especially the madams who had been rude to Jun Jun. Now, they were at a loss as to what to do.
No wonder the captain of the secret guards wanted to deal with her. Her actions just now were equivalent to disrespecting the head of the family? If this was serious, she would have to go to the punishment hall!
“I. . . I don’t know... i. . .”The madam started to talk incoherently. She looked at her husband for help, but at this moment, who would dare to come out and help her?
The Ruan family had relied on Ruan Zeyan to support them. Now that the head of the family had become Ruan Mingxiao, he had to rely on Ruan Mingxiao to make a living.
However, it was not only the others who were shocked. Even Jun Jun herself was shocked enough. She looked at the piece of jade on her neck that had been worn for almost thirteen years. It was such a powerful thing! The symbol of the family head’s position... was it something similar to the ancient Emperor’s Jade Seal?
Jun Jun looked at Ruan Mingxiao in shock. That man had actually given her such a valuable thing thirteen years ago!
Ruan Zeyan stood beside Ruan Mingxiao, his deep eyes looking at his son from the corner of his eyes. Although he was unwilling, Ruan Mingxiao’s trick had indeed won him. Why didn’t he think of the idea of splitting the jade into two pieces, one for each of them?
