Grandma Xiao suddenly made a sound of surprise and spat out the food she was chewing into her palm.
Everyone looked and saw it was a jade bead.
It must have been of high quality, given the gloss and the layers of color on the surface of the jade bead, clearly extraordinary.
Grandma Xiao laughed heartily, leaning forward and backward, "This grandson of mine, indeed always knows how to delight me the most."
Xiao Yebai winked, "Grandma, take your time eating. This cake is only for you. Inside, there are ninety jade beads that, if strung together, would make a perfect necklace and a pair of bracelets for you."
The faces of the Xiao sisters changed dramatically.
This brother clearly treated them all like monkeys, playing a trick on them.
Gu Nuan did not go downstairs with the others. Instead, she sat alone in what was said to be the room of the former mistress of the house, her deceased mother-in-law.
