Chapter 81: Important
With the help of Cha’er, they cut open the doll’s ear with the scissors, revealing a rusty key inside, making the three of them dumbfounded.
“What is this key for?” Lingxuan didn’t even have an inkling that her doll had a key. She was fond of this doll, and it was unlikely for her to throw it away, but it was also unlikely of her to treasure it. If it weren’t for Lingyan getting injured today, she might not have noticed the key inside the doll’s ear even in the next few years or perhaps a few decades.
“For the mother to hide the key in doll’s ear, it certainly must have been very important.” Seeing that she had accidentally found a weird key, Lingyan completely forgot the scar on her face and said with a tinge of excitement. “Eldest sister, could it be that important thing left by mother?”
This important thing was what Lin mama and others were trying to look for.
Lingxuan was looking at the key in a daze, but Lingyan’s word made her suddenly think of something, making her complexion change drastically.
In her previous life, she suddenly recalled that because of the people in black coming and going out of the residence, fearing that she might meet with mishap, she quickly handed everything to Moqi Lingxuan. When he came to pick her up, she ordered Lin mama to sort out all of her things one by one and send everything to the fourth prince’s residence.
She remembered, from then onwards, Moqi Lingxuan began to look at her differently and inexplicably got angry at her regular intervals… Now, recalling all of these memories, at that time, Lin mama must have certainly must have found the doll’s secret. Thus, after finding what he wanted, he didn’t even bother to pretend to give her face.
So, actually, as it turns out, that important thing in everyone’s eyes was all along hidden here.
Mother, for you to hide such an important thing here, weren’t you afraid with my idiocy I would give this to Shangguan Yunlan?
Understanding the crux of the matter, Lingxuan calmed herself and recalled the memories of both the lifetimes to check if her mother had left her any clues…
Once her memories opened, her mother’s, Shangguan-shi’s, gentle and soft smile flashed before her, her amiability and helplessness as well as her unsophisticatedness as she was blamed for harming her father by degrading herself to become a businesswoman. When walking outside, even when she was adorned with glittering jewels, outsiders still laughed at her.
The more the memories she recalled, the more her heart hurt, reddening her eyes.
“Eldest sister, don’t worry, ah. That thing left behind by mother certainly must be somewhere in residence. As long as we carefully look for it, we will surely find it.” Not aware of complicated thoughts arising in her sister’s heart, Lingyan simply thought that she was discouraged and heartbroken for not being able to find that thing she was looking for.
“Right, we will surely find it!” Lingxuan curbed her feelings, clenching the key tightly; she thought in her heart: Moqi Lingxuan, Shangguan Yanlan, I am a step ahead of you in finding the thing you are seeking for, would you still come victorious in the end?
Even if you become victorious, I will beat you till you are reduced with nothing, letting you taste the feeling of having everything in your hands lost.
In order to not alarm Lin mama, Lingxuan let Cha’er and Lingyan put everything back into their places to cover all the traces that could make Lin mama suspicious.
With their nimble hands and feet, they rapidly arranged everything neatly. Even the cut doll ear was also stitched back by Cha’er – there was still a key hidden inside, but it was changed by Lingxuan to another one.
