Chapter 290 Seeking Verification from Shen Cao
Grandma Zhou didn't actually know what was going on, but she was very good at judging people.
She felt a sense of familiarity with Shen Yu'an from the first moment she saw him.
Later, when Shen Cao came to his place every day, she discovered that Shen Cao actually looked about five points similar to Shen Yu'an.
In addition to the jade pendant that Shen Cao mentioned earlier.
A bold idea came to mind.
However, it seems that Shen Yu'an was unaware that Shen Cao possessed a jade pendant.
Moreover, according to Shen Cao, he was unaware of this matter.
She hadn't taken it to heart at first, but it came up again when she was chatting with her old friends a few days ago.
Although she also found it outrageous, she couldn't help but call Shen Yu'an over today after seeing that Shen Cao and Shen Yu'an looked somewhat alike.
I had originally planned to subtly inquire about the jade pendant.
Who knew that she couldn't help herself and accidentally revealed that Shen Cao had a jade pendant.
Seeing Shen Yu'an's hurried departure, she didn't know if she had done the right thing.
As Shen Yu'an walked down the streets of Xin'an County, the words of Old Mrs. Zhou kept replaying in her mind.
"—Cao'er also has a grass-shaped jade pendant."
Is it a coincidence?
He quickly dismissed the idea.
Just as Grandma Zhou said, herbs are inherently a very insignificant thing in this world.
It has no auspicious connotations, so few people would name it or make jade pendants in its style.
Moreover, the reason why the Shen family's heirloom is in this style is because his great-grandfather's generation started by making a fortune from grain and fodder.
It can be said that without grass, there would be nothing for the Shen family.
Originally, this family heirloom was supposed to be passed down to him, but according to his father, it was given to his aunt by his grandmother when she first entered the palace.
His wet nurse once told me that when he was just born, his aunt took out the family heirloom, intending to give it to him.
However, his grandmother refused, saying he was too young.
Then, the year he came of age, his aunt looked at him with great apology.
He was also given a very precious jade pendant, but it was not the one from the Shen family.
He later learned from a conversation he overheard his parents that his aunt had lost the jade pendant.
Along with the jade pendant, my aunt also lost some very precious things.
When he was a child, he didn't know what it was, but as he grew up, he vaguely guessed what it was.
From a young age, Wanyue always needed someone to accompany her wherever she went.
One time, he secretly took Wanyue out to play for a long time, and when they returned home, they were surprised to find that even the emperor had come.
He still remembers the pain of the family punishment whip and the coldness of the ancestral hall that day.
From then on, whenever he took Wanyue out to play, he had to return on time.
It turns out that the precious thing that Auntie lost all those years ago was actually a child.
That child is his sister.
Could Shen Cao be his sister?
The scene of his first meeting with Shen Cao flashed through his mind.
At that time, he racked his brains over the Wan'an Hall matter, not mainly for compensation, but for Wan'an Hall's reputation.
Just as he was about to give in, a little girl stepped in to help him out.
He originally planned to have the shopkeeper prepare some money to express his gratitude.
But the moment he saw the little girl, a strange sense of closeness welled up in his heart.
Since he met Shen Cao, he has always regarded her as his younger sister.
I can't help but want to help her.
Before he knew it, he had already arrived at the entrance of the Hundred Herbs Garden.
He quickened his pace, eager to find Shen Cao and obtain evidence from her.
"What? Grass has already gone back!"
Wei Siyu nodded, "That's right, Brother Ji is back. Cao'er felt there was nothing much to do here, so she took Wanyue back to Shen Family Restaurant."
After saying that, he punched Shen Yu'an hard, "Where have you been today? Something happened at the dock early this morning."
Upon hearing that something had happened at the dock, Shen Yu'an asked anxiously, "What happened? How are things now?"
Wei Siyu clapped her hands with a smile, "It's all settled. You have no idea how amazing Cao'er is. She took care of those troublemakers in no time."
He started rambling on about how Shen Cao had resolved the issues at the dock that morning.
Shen Yu'an didn't hear Wei Siyu's words at all; all he could think about was, "Cao'er is amazing."
He smiled and thought, "No wonder she's my sister, she's really amazing."
Even though it hasn't been officially confirmed yet, he already felt in his heart that Shen Cao was definitely his sister.
Wei Siyu saw him give her a doting smile and was about to ask him a question when she saw Shen Yu'an run out without looking back.
"Hey! Where are you going? I haven't finished talking yet."
The only response he received was Shen Yu'an's retreating figure.
Shen Yu'an needed to hurry to Shen Family Restaurant to ask Shen Cao.
He had barely stepped out of the gate of the Hundred Herbs Garden when He Yu grabbed him.
This is so annoying! Why are so many people looking for him today?
Why can't we just let him go and reunite with his sister in peace?
"Alright, I understand. I won't tell anyone else about what happened today."
Shen Yu'an was anxious, but dared not offend Ji Lingfeng, so he could only suppress his temper and speak in a bad tone.
Ji Lingfeng was also taken aback. How come his temper had grown so much in just a short time?
"Is there anything else? If not, I have other things to do and I'll be leaving now."
"No..." Before Ji Lingfeng could finish speaking, Shen Yu'an disappeared again.
Ji Lingfeng watched Shen Yu'an's retreating figure and clenched his fist.
Never mind, he's Shen Cao's friend, we can't be violent towards him.
Shen Yu'an was anxious and ran to Shen Family Restaurant before the servant could prepare the carriage.
When he finally arrived at Shen's restaurant, he first greeted Mr. and Mrs. Shen.
I know Shen Cao is in the kitchen.
I ran quickly to the kitchen.
They stopped at the kitchen doorway.
He suddenly realized how he should start the conversation with her.
In the kitchen, Shen Cao was making candied hawthorns for Wan Yue.
Wanyue heard Shen Wan and Shen Chen say today that Shen Cao can make all kinds of candied hawthorns.
And it tastes even better than what's sold on the street.
So he begged her to make it for him.
The two had just finished making candied hawthorn skewers from the skewered fruit and were now waiting for the syrup to cool completely.
"Sister Cao'er, try this, it's so sweet." Wanyue picked up a piece of sugar that had dripped syrup and cooled down from the table and handed it to Shen Cao.
Shen Cao took a bite from her hand and said with a smile, "It's so sweet, just as sweet as Wan Yue's."
Upon hearing this, Wanyue immediately blushed and hid in Shen Cao's arms, as if she were craving her scent, and even sniffed with her little nose.
"I like the scent of Sister Grass, it's just like my mother's."
Upon hearing this, Shen Cao pretended to be angry, "Am I that old? Do you want to be my daughter?"
"No, no." Wanyue was afraid that Shen Cao would be angry. "What I meant was that Sister Cao'er's embrace was very warm, just like when my mother held me."
After saying that, he waved his hand vigorously, afraid that Shen Cao would misunderstand.
When she noticed the slight smile on Shen Cao's lips, she realized that Shen Cao was deliberately teasing her.
"Sister Grass, you're bad!"
After saying that, he pretended not to want to talk to her.
Shen Cao picked up a string of candied hawthorns and handed it to her, saying, "Sister Cao'er was wrong. Here's a string of candied hawthorns to make amends, okay?"
Wanyue licked her tongue and shook her head.
She's not so easily coaxed.
snort!
"Those two strings?"
I'm somewhat tempted.
Three strings?
"Add one more string and I'll give in," Wanyue thought.
Shen Cao put away all three strings of candied hawthorns, glancing at Wan Yue's face. "Since no one wants them, I'll go and give them to the kids on the street."
Upon hearing this, Wanyue quickly turned around and grabbed the candied hawthorn.
"It's all mine."
Shen Cao affectionately patted Wan Yue's head, "They're all yours!"
Seeing this, Shen Yu'an couldn't help but smile.
The two sisters are so sweet.
Wanyue will definitely be very happy when she finds out.
But if not, how heartbroken Wanyue would be.
He decided to wait until he was certain before revealing the matter.
He turned and left the kitchen.
"Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen, I have some questions I'd like to ask you!"
