Chapter 2133: Fear Came From the Unknown

Even when facing Mo Juechen, Ning Shu wasn’t as nervous, because she knew that Mo Juechen was an impulsive person who did whatever he wanted and killed at the drop of a hat.

Gu Riu was different. He’d always been reserved and distant. His character wasn’t easily understood and his outward appearance didn’t reveal his true nature.

Fear came from the unknown.

Thus, Ning Shu was wary of Gu Rui. Although he said that he wouldn’t try to revive his kingdom, who knew what he was actually planning?

There was also another question that needed an answer. What exactly was Mo Juechen after?

Ning Shu went back to her room and rummaged around to see if she could find anything special.

Gu Rui and Li Jiuge both bore a deep blood feud, so how could they resign themselves to living passively?

The old man said that one of the three had to marry her to inherit the family’s vast amount of wealth. There must be something they wanted from the family’s possessions.

Otherwise, how could the old man have the confidence to make them marry such a chubby daughter?

Xi Tao, who was silently watching Ning Shu rummage around the room, asked, “Miss, what are you looking for?”

“Uh…” Ning Shu didn’t know what she was looking for either.

She didn’t know what to look for at all.

She couldn’t help but hammer her own head, this damned empty head.

Ning Shu finally sat down, gasping for breath.

Xi Tao hurriedly poured tea for Ning Shu and said, “Miss, what are you looking for? Please tell me. This servant was the one who put away all your things for you.”

“I’m looking for something Dad gave me,” Ning Shu said ambiguously.

“Oh, Miss is looking for something the master gave you?” Xi Tao laughed and went to the dressing table to get a jewelry box. “Miss, this jewelry was bought for you by the master. Look, there are even some rare trinkets.”

Ning Shu opened the box with a blank face. There were indeed many things in it, including bracelets, rings, hairpins, and all kinds of other jewelry.

Ning Shu lazily rifled through the contents. She didn’t think that it contained what Mo Juechen was looking for.

With Mo Juechen’s skills, he must have searched the house many times.

So what the heck was it that he wanted?

Ning Shu scratched her head frustratedly.

“Miss, what do you need? Tell this servant,” Xi Tao said anxiously as she looked at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu hadn’t made any progress. She was starting to get a headache.

“It’s time for lunch. Let’s have porridge with some side dishes.” Ning Shu waved to Xi Tao.

Xi Tao was extremely worried. She frowned. “Miss, if you eat like this every day, your body won’t be able to bear it. Miss, eat some meat today.”

“It’s alright. I can’t eat meat since I’m observing the mourning period. Don’t worry, I know my own body.” Ning Shu continued to look through the jewelry box and found a thumb-sized pearl inside.

The pearl was round and bright, it was of quite high quality.

“Miss, I heard that this pearl was a tribute,” Xi Tao said.

“Don’t talk nonsense. It’s just a regular pearl that’s on the larger side. How could it be a tribute?” Ning Shu said angrily. If a merchant’s family was discovered to be receiving tributes, they would quickly be killed.

“Yes, this servant was saying that this kind of pearl isn’t even comparable to a tribute,” Xi Tao said with a smile.

Ning Shu held the pearl against the light. The reflected light caused the pearl to shine brightly. It was definitely high quality.

“This is for you.” Ning Shu picked up a hairpin and held it out to Xi Tao. “You won my game last time, so this is your reward.”

The hairpin was made of silver with very intricate and delicate workmanship. It looked like a butterfly about to take flight.
