Chapter 15: The Mysterious Jewelry Box

After struggling for a whole day, Pu Yuze and Xiao Yiqing finally signed the fake marriage contract and received the marriage certificate. Finally, each of them held a red book in their hands and returned home.

All of this is really like a dream. In the blink of an eye, the household registration becomes married...

When Xiao Yiqing got home, she took the marriage certificate and looked at it. The photo of her and Pu Yuze on the marriage certificate looked so awkward. She really wanted to draw out his face with a pen to relieve her anger!

"Granddaughter, are you asleep?"

Xiao Zhenhai knocked on Xiao Yiqing's door and asked.

"I'm not asleep. Grandpa, please come in!"

Xiao Yiqing quickly stuffed the marriage certificate under her pillow, which was eye-catching but could not be thrown away, then jumped out of bed and went to the door to greet her grandfather.

Xiao Zhenhai had his usual smile on his face, and the chubby old man regained his energetic appearance. He also held a notepad-sized, eight-centimeter-thick red wood box in his hand, with four corners on the top and bottom.

The gold rim with hollow patterns is a very antique jewelry box.

"Grandpa, what are you holding in your hand?

It looks like an antique!”

Xiao Yiqing had never seen her grandfather have such a jewelry box. She was really curious as to what was inside and whether it was a dowry given to her...

Xiao Zhenhai sat on the chair and said calmly: "This jewelry box does not belong to grandpa!

This jewelry box was left to you by your mother."

"ah……

Grandpa, are you saying that this jewelry box is a relic left by my mother?

Then why did grandpa take out this jewelry box now?

If it had been given to me after my mother passed away, it would have become a reminder of my memory over the years..."

Xiao Yiqing really didn't understand, since it was something left by her mother, why didn't her grandfather tell her before? Even if she was afraid that she would lose it if she gave it to her, she still had to take a look first!

"It's not that grandpa didn't want to tell you before. When he got this jewelry box, there was also a handwritten letter from your mother.

The letter stated that this jewelry box can only be handed over to you after you get married, and this jewelry box can only be opened three months after you get married!

This is your mother's last wish. Now you and Pu Yuze have received your marriage certificate. Although you haven't held a wedding yet, legally you are considered married!

Grandpa will give this box to you now. I hope you can also abide by your mother's last wish and wait until three months to open this jewelry box." Xiao Zhenhai handed over this mysterious jewelry box and a yellowed one.

The kraft paper envelope was handed into Xiao Yiqing's hand.

Xiao Yiqing took the jewelry box and looked at it again and again, and then opened the kraft paper envelope. Inside was a piece of yellowed letter paper with beautiful writing on it, because she was very young at the time and didn't remember her mother at all.

font.

But what was written in the letter was indeed the same as what grandpa and grandpa said. Xiao Yiqing's mood was really complicated as never before.

This sudden appearance, a wedding gift that had been prepared for her mother before her car accident, really surprised her!

You must know that I was only eight years old when my mother had a car accident.

How can any mother prepare a wedding gift when her daughter is only eight years old? Even if she prepared, why would she write such a letter!

It was as if he had expected that he would die soon!

Now that you have the jewelry box in your hand, why don't you just open it and see what secrets are hidden in this jewelry box?

Or should I follow the instructions in my mother's letter and open the jewelry box after three months?

Xiao Yiqing was already possessed by strong curiosity at this time, and began to have some irrational thoughts. It was only because of this sudden appearance of a jewelry box that it really aroused too many conjectures...

"Granddaughter, what are you thinking about?

Grandpa can tell you, you must open it and read it after three months!

Forget it, grandpa is really worried about putting this jewelry box in your hand.

Let’s do this, I’ve already told you about this, I’d better leave this jewelry box with grandpa first, and when three months are up, you can ask grandpa about it!”

Xiao Zhenhai really knows this granddaughter very well. With her curiosity, it would be difficult for her to wait until three months before opening it.

"Grandpa, how could you do this?

Then you might as well take it out to me in three months!

Now you tell me, I have to figure out what is in your jewelry box every day, which is simply a kind of torture..." Xiao Yiqing pouted her mouth, and was so angry that she stood up and stamped her feet, very dissatisfied.

Complaining.

"This is what your mother wrote in her letter, and grandpa must obey it!

Okay, you should have a good rest, don't you have to go to Pu Yuze's house tomorrow?" Xiao Zhenhai stopped chatting with Xiao Yiqing and walked out holding the jewelry box, as if he was staying there.

Xiao Yiqing would snatch the jewelry box away.

…………………………………………………………………………

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the curtains on Xiao Yiqing's face. It did not affect her sweet date with Duke Zhou at all, and she slept soundly.

At this time, the phone rang. Xiao Yiqing had no intention of being woken up by the ringing. The phone kept ringing for half an hour, and finally stopped because it ran out of power.

The cell phone stopped, and then the home phone rang again. The servant Aunt Zhang answered the phone and knocked on Xiao Yiqing's door, "Miss, open the door!

Miss, are you in there?"

Aunt Zhang knocked on the door and shouted, but when no one answered, she opened the door.

This Aunt Zhang has been working as a servant in the Xiao family for many years. It can be said that she has watched Xiao Yiqing grow up. She is very familiar with Xiao Yiqing's daily habits and knows that no matter how noisy the sound environment is,

will be woken up.

"Miss, please wake up!

Miss, don't sleep!" Aunt Zhang walked to Xiao Yiqing's side and gently pushed her back with her hand.

"oops……

Who is it, don’t disturb my sleep!" Xiao Yiqing turned over impatiently when she saw someone telling her to get up, without any intention of getting up.

"Miss, Mr. Pu Yuze called you on your mobile phone for half an hour and you didn't answer the phone. The calls were all sent to the landline at home!

He asked me to see if you are in the room, and call him back if you are. I have something very important to tell you." Aunt Zhang also said in a very embarrassed tone. She also knew about Xiao Yiqing and Pu Yuze's marriage.

So as a servant, she still had to listen to what Pu Yuze said.

"ah……

She made the call!

Got it, Zhang Ma, go and do your work." Xiao Yiqing got up from the bed reluctantly, rubbing her sleepy eyes and said.

Reluctantly, he picked up his cell phone and wanted to call Pu Yuze, but was informed that the battery was out of power. This man was really a madman, and even the newly replaced large-capacity battery ran out of power!

Xiao Yiqing replaced the battery, dialed Pu Yuze's phone and asked: "Hello!

What do you want from me?

If you don’t answer the phone, it’s just inconvenient to answer it. You still called our landline and asked our maid to call me. Don’t you think it’s too much!”

"You have the nerve to say this, didn't you agree to come to our house today?

Now that you are missing, are you kidding me?

Don't talk about calling your house. If you don't call me, I will go to your house to find you in person!

Don't forget, we signed a contract. If you break the contract, you will compensate me 10 million!" Pu Yuze's hand holding the phone began to tremble with anger. He had never thought of Xiao Yiqing, a scoundrel woman.

, the first family activity was so uncooperative.

"What are you talking about? I'm just going to sleep!"

I didn’t even say I couldn’t go!

What time is it now!

Do you need to rush me like this?" Xiao Yiqing said disapprovingly.

"what time is it?

Check for yourself what time it is?

It's already ten o'clock in the morning!

You are still sleeping. I really don’t know that you usually work like this as a police officer!

Do you all work the night shift?"

Pu Yuze was really angry to death. Xiao Yiqing didn't know if she could play the role of a wife well. Looking at it now, she was a bit unreliable.

"No way!

Is it ten o’clock in the morning now?”

Xiao Yiqing took out the alarm clock on the bedside table and took a look at it. She covered her mouth with her hand in surprise. She really didn't expect to oversleep all of a sudden.

Although I felt a little wrong in my heart, I said without any concession: "So what if it's ten o'clock!

If I set off now, I can’t delay meeting your family at noon!”

"Don't tell me, you're going to go empty-handed like this!

It’s your first time meeting my grandpa, why don’t you bring a gift?”

Pu Yuze is now very worried about Xiao Yiqing's style of dealing with things.

"I...how could I go there empty-handed!

I have already thought about it and will buy two large and good fruit baskets from the fruit shop on the roadside."

Xiao Yiqing obviously felt a little guilty, because her marriage to Pu Yuze was fake, and her parents treated her in a perfunctory manner...

"I knew you would say this, how could you just bring two fruit baskets!

This will definitely make people in our family suspicious!

This is why I'm looking for you in a hurry. I've prepared gifts for our family and I'll be waiting for you at the intersection in front of your house.

I hope you can quickly remember what these gifts are and what their functions are!

Only in this way can they know that you have carefully chosen this." Pu Yuze personally went to the mall last night to select expensive gifts, just to make the performance more realistic.

If this is full of loopholes from the beginning, things will not be easy to continue in the future...

"Why don't we make it so serious?

Isn't it just a gift? Just hand it over directly. Why don't you act like a product salesman?

By the way, I haven't asked yet, how many people will I meet at your house today?"

Xiao Yiqing doesn't want to listen to it now. She has never liked family dinners during holidays since she was a child. It's really annoying for parents to ask questions like this.
