Ran Shaotang took out the phoenix hairpin from the brocade box and held it in his palm, asking Zhong Jiuchou to take a closer look at the blood-colored bead held in the phoenix's beak.

There are two wall lamps hanging on the left and right of the carriage. The light reflects on the beads, as if there is some kind of echo. The catkin-like objects in the beads float, like wind blowing clouds or the tide of the river and sea, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Zhong Jiuchou could see that he was in a trance, and he felt an urgency to indulge in it. Suddenly his vision went dark, and Ran Shaotang covered his eyes.

"It's better not to look at it. This thing is too evil." She put the phoenix hairpin back into the box again.

Zhong Jiuchou pondered for a moment, then a hint of sarcasm emerged from the corner of his mouth.

"My old grandmother who became a man was worried that my life would be too easy, so she actually took out her palace treasure."

"Do you recognize this bead?"

"I didn't recognize it at first. Who knew she would put the Bewildering Pearl on a hairpin." Zhong Jiuchou glanced sideways at Ran Shaotang, who was also thinking deeply, laughed twice, and then began to flatter her.

"My wife has a keen eye and recognized this thing early on. No wonder you want to come back. Should you go directly to your father-in-law's house?"

Ran Shaotang waved his hand and looked at him slightly worriedly: "I'm afraid this is not in line with the rules. I haven't returned home in three days."

"Rules are set by people. You can do whatever you want. Besides, the Queen Mother likes to see me lose my composure. I will show her how to use my plan."

Zhong Jiuchou held Shaotang's hand and patted it comfortingly.

Ran Shaotang sighed helplessly: "It's so tiring for you to live like this."

Zhong Jiuchou: "I'm used to it."

Ran Wen and his wife learned that their daughter, who had been married for just one day, had returned to her parents' home. They thought that Zhong Jiuchou's beauty could not resist the temptation and betrayed his father-in-law and mother-in-law who had joined forces with him to set up a trap. They were trying to blame each other who was the mastermind. The young couple had already

Hand in hand, we walked into the main hall intimately.

Ran Shaotang glanced at the face of her father who had to sacrifice his life generously under threat, and without saying a word, he took out the phoenix hairpin and stuffed it into Mrs. Ran's hand.

"The regent has already fully explained what you have done." This couple who has been cheating on their daughter since she was born still needs to bluff, otherwise they will really think that she is a soft persimmon.

Zhong Jiuchou's face immediately turned orange-red and purple-green, and he said bitterly: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, son-in-law..."

Ran Wen waved his hand generously to indicate that he didn't need to say: "It doesn't matter, for the sake of harmony between you and your husband, as the elders, we should shoulder some responsibilities."

...Zhong Jiuchou: It's really unjust. I really didn't dare to say a word. The only blame is that Shaotang is too smart and figured it out all by himself.

Moreover, from what my father-in-law said, it seemed that he did not mean to take responsibility. No matter how carefully I chewed on it, I always felt that something was strange.

Ran Shaotang glared at Zhong Jiuchou quite proudly: You should understand this time. From now on, you must cooperate carefully with my father and mother.

Finally, a northwest wind drifted through Jiuchou's heart.

Mrs. Ran's exclamation interrupted Zhong Jiuchou's thoughts of clearing his name, but she saw that Ran Wen had already taken the hairpin and was looking at it in his hand.

"This hairpin has been lost for a long time, why is it in your hands?"

Ran Shaotang's eyes darkened: "What did father mean by this? What is the origin of this hairpin?" She had only seen this hairpin in the Shen Mansion in her previous life. After a quick glance, Shen Weiyong disemboweled her...

...

Before she died, the hairpin on the desk was the last scene that reflected in her eyes.

She firmly remembered what someone in the room said before she accidentally broke into the secret room: "Isn't this Mrs. Ran's dowry? What's the use of you going through all the trouble to get it? It's just a hairpin."
