Chapter 2429 Prevent the birth of women in descendants
Manshu took the key and called Xiaolong instead of unlocking it.
She didn't tell Xiaolong the reason, but only asked him to come back once and stay at Qiao's hometown.
About an hour later, Xiaolong arrived home and brought some breakfast.
"I don't know if you have eaten it. Grandpa's cooking skills are not very good, so I bought some outside."
Manshu had already eaten, but now she still took one of the burritos and started eating it.
The burrito tastes good, and the vegetables wrapped in it are very refreshing. Manshu was still a little bit unsatisfied after eating one.
"Manshu called me back in such a hurry. Is there something wrong?"
When asked about this, Manshu handed him the small box to see.
"I got this from the director of the orphanage. It is a relic of my old aunt."
"My great-grandma's things?" Xiaolong was a little curious, "Did you not find the key?"
"We also found the key. I heard from Mr. Qiao that it was something you hung around your neck when you were a child."
Xiaolong didn't expect that the key he hung when he was a child was so special.
He always thought it was the key to the front door of his home.
That was the only thing left to him by his family.
"Now that you have found the key, you can just open it. Why did you ask me to come back?"
Manshu smiled: "This is your thing, of course you have to drive it."
"Then I'll open it?" Xiaolong didn't think there was any point in opening the lock, and he didn't need any sense of ritual.
But when he held the key to the keyhole, he hesitated.
"Is this really meant for me?"
"Not necessarily." Manshu thought that the things in the box might contain the same secret as the jade mirror.
So, just let Xiaolong unlock it.
When Xiaolong opened the lock and a burst of magic power popped out of the box, Manshu was stunned.
Pressing it down with her hand, the magic power was quickly absorbed by her.
And the contents of the box are also revealed to everyone.
There was only a thin book inside.
And, this is like a notebook.
"Is this also Grandma Zeng's notebook?" Xiaolong didn't sense the witchcraft just now at all, so he just took the notebook and looked through it.
But there isn't a word in it.
But in Manshu's eyes, it was different.
This is not some wordless bible.
Manshu could see every word that appeared on it.
"If anyone can see my handwriting, it means I have failed. Sure enough, there is another woman among my descendants."
The first page shocked Manshu.
What do you mean, that old aunt is deliberately trying to prevent girls from appearing in future generations?
"Ever since I learned that the Great Witch Club is looking for a host body, it has deliberately prevented the family from giving birth to another daughter. I don't want children with the blood of the Yan family to suffer the pain that I have suffered."
"Our ancestors wanted our lives, so we gave them up, but who made me reluctant to give up?"
"I want to be on equal terms with my husband, but I don't want her to occupy my body and say one more word to my husband."
"In order to escape fate, and to live and fly together with my husband, I chose to marry far away from the imperial capital."
"At that time, I thought that my husband was just an ordinary talented man who had returned from studying abroad, but I didn't expect that what he wanted to do was to build more powerful weapons to bring glory to our country."
"I can't stop my husband, nor can I tell him that my ancestor of the Yan family has been pestering me day and night, wanting my body to be hers."
"I have been thinking about it for many years before I came up with a solution, which is to stop practicing."
"My Yan family's bloodline is special, which is both a cause and an effect. But if the continuation of the Yan family's bloodline is to extend the life of witches, then I am not willing to do so."
