Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Jade Pendant
Xie Yanghui noticed Zhan Wenmin’s excitement and asked, “Wenmin, you look very excited. Did anything good happen?”

Zhan Wenmin could hardly hold himself back and said, “Master, the results of the investigation have come out.”

After hearing this, Xie Yanghui paused and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go to the study.”

The two of them then rushed to the study. After Zhan Wenmin dismissed the servants, he followed Xie Yanghui and entered.

The moment Zhan Wenmin closed the door, Xie Yanghui said, “Give it to me.”

Zhan Wenmin took out a letter and handed it to Xie Yanghui. While Xie Yanghui read the investigation report, Zhan Wenmin waited anxiously. After a while, Zhan Wenmin saw Xie Yanghui’s face turn gloomy.

Zhan Wenmin couldn’t bear it any longer and asked, “Master, how is the investigation going? Have our people found Madam or that young lady?”

Xie Yanghui handed him the investigation report and said, “Read it yourself.”

While Zhan Wenmin was reading the investigation report, Xie Yanghui went to sit behind the big table. He leaned back in the chair and rubbed his brows tiredly.

After reading the investigation report, Zhan Wenmin looked at Xie Yanghui and said, “Master, although that young lady has left Yunshan Village, we can still find her as long as we continue to search. That young lady just left Yunshan Village not long ago. She probably hasn’t traveled far yet.”

Xie Yanghui frowned and said, “Uncle Jin said she looks so much like my wife. Since Uncle Jin had said so, we had to find her. That young lady is our only clue to find my wife.”

Before Zhan Wenmin could speak, someone knocked on the door. Xie Yanghui nodded to him, and then Zhan Wenmin went to open the door.

When the soldier who knocked on the door saw that Zhan Wenmin had opened the door, he handed him a jade pendant and said, “Butler Zhan, we found this in a pawn shop in Hua Shan Town. We felt that this jade pendant was exactly the same as the one worn by the Supreme General, so we took it back to show it to you.”

Zhan Wenmin took the jade pendant and looked at it. After he inspected it for a moment, his hands trembled, and he walked into the study quickly.

“Master, master!” He called for Xie Yanghui excitedly.

Zhan Wenmin rarely lost his composure. Hearing his trembling voice, Xie Yanghui looked at him and frowned, “What’s wrong?”

Zhan Wenmin handed the jade pendant over and said, “Look at this. Isn’t this Madam’s jade pendant?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yanghui took the jade pendant from his trembling hands. Xie Yanghui looked carefully and saw two small characters engraved on it. Looking at the words ‘Mengling’ on it, Xie Yanghui couldn’t believe his eyes.

He looked up at Zhan Wenmin and asked tremblingly, “Where did you get this?”

“A soldier just gave it to me. He said that this jade pendant was found in a pawn shop in Hua Shan Town. Hua Shan Town is close to Chun Shan Town. This jade pendant should be pawned by the young lady who looks like Madam.” Zhan Wenmin answered excitedly.

After hearing his answer, Xie Yanghui hurried out and saw the soldier still waiting there. He grabbed the soldier’s shoulders and asked excitedly, “Where is the young lady who pawned this jade pendant? Where is she?!”

The soldier was startled by Xie Yanghui’s red eyes and strong aura, but he still managed to report calmly.

“Answering the Supreme General. The young lady who pawned the jade pendant is currently staying in the best inn in Hua Shan Town. Our people are still following her.”

Hearing this, Xie Yanghui let go of the soldier and said to Zhan Wenmin, “I’m going to meet her personally. My wife is probably with her at this moment.”

Seeing Xie Yanghui rushing out, Zhan Wenmin hurriedly chased after him and said, “Master, please wait a moment.”

Xie Yanghui stopped and asked impatiently, “What is it?”

Although Zhan Wenmin was also very excited and wanted to see this young lady as soon as possible, he was much calmer than Xie Yanghui. He stood in front of his Master and said, “Master, you cannot go to see her in person.”

Xie Yanghui frowned and asked, “Why?”

Zhan Wenmin did not answer his question but asked, “Master, who do you think this young lady might be?”

Thinking of Jin Ronghang’s secret message, Xie Yanghui clenched his hands and said, “Since she looks like my wife, then she may be Ling’er’s daughter.”

They had been separated for more than sixteen years. If she has a daughter, it means his wife is married to another man. Just thinking of this, Xie Yanghui almost couldn’t hold back his jealousy and heartache. He clutched his heart tightly, and it became more difficult to breathe.

Zhan Wenmin saw his dark expression and knew what Xie Yanghui was thinking. He shook his head and said, “Master, I don’t think this young lady is Madam’s daughter.”

Hearing this, Xie Yanghui calmed down a little bit. He looked at Zhan Wenmin and asked, “Why do you think so?”

Zhen Wenmin pointed to the jade pendant that Xie Yanghui was holding tightly and said, “If this young lady is really Madam’s daughter, Madam must tell her the importance of this jade pendant. Therefore, that young lady will not pawn it and spend the money recklessly to stay at the best inn in town.”

After hearing Zhan Wenmin’s deduction, Xie Yanghui looked at the jade pendant and thought, ‘Did Ling’er really marry another man? No! She promised that I would be the only one in her life. She won’t marry another man for no reason. But─ What if she really hates me and has forgotten me? She must hate me for failing to protect her. Ling’er, you won’t really forget me, will you?’

When Xie Yanghui thought about his wife marrying another man, he felt like someone was cutting his heart with a sword countless times.
