The King’s Enchanting Chapter 1795 - 1809: The Grand Finale (12)

Jian Anning turned around and asked, "Who sent the gift?"

If Jian Panying went to the Yu Family, the servants there might not like her much, but they would surely recognize her. However, now she was at the Qin Family—their servants probably didn’t recognize her at all?

Sure enough, the person said, "The person didn’t stay long, just dropped off the item and left. The box is still at the porter’s lodge. Would Miss Jian like to take a look?"

Jian Anning immediately nodded, "Bring it up."

Soon, the person handed over the item, it was a delicate small box. Jian Anning opened it, and inside, was a coral carving of "Harmony for a Hundred Years."

"Hey, what’s this?" A few people nearby leaned in to look.

Jian Anning held the carving, silently. Although she hadn’t seen this carving in person, she had indeed seen it—in the wedding photo of her father and mother!

This item was a wedding gift from Ma Xinyu to Jian Panying! It’s considered the Ma Family’s heirloom!

Later, she divorced Ma Xinyu, but Ma Xinyu was too embarrassed to ask to get it back. Then when Jian Panying married Cheng Juye again, she hid it at the bottom of a chest. Until later when the Cheng Family fell, Cheng Juye found this item and secretly sold it.

When Jian Panying found out, the two of them had a big fight, which was also the trigger for their divorce later. After that, the item was too valuable, Jian Panying tried several times to buy it back, but struggled with insufficient funds.

Only recently, after saving up enough, did she use all her savings to purchase the item back and sent it to Jian Anning, as a family heirloom.

"It was my mom who came." Jian Anning glanced at it, then carefully put the item back, and then found the servant, carefully asking, "What did the person look like? Why didn’t you keep her here?"

"She dressed very plainly, dropped off the item and left without saying much, a few of us thought she was just a guest delivering something from nearby and didn’t think much of it." If they had known she was the bride’s mother standing before them, they surely would have kept her!

To be honest, although the clothes seemed carefully washed, they couldn’t hide a trace of the impoverished look from hard labor. No matter how you looked, she didn’t seem like the mother of this elegant lady in front!

"Hurry and chase after her! See if you can catch up! If you do, you must invite her in!"

Jian Panying must have come here herself. There are no taxis or buses nearby, she couldn’t have gone far.

Only by raising children do you come to appreciate parental love. Even though Jian Panying’s focus was primarily on Cheng Tingting, she did give birth to her, and later raised her for ten years.

No matter her faults, over the years, the hatred between mother and daughter had gradually dissipated. Jian Anning is not a hard-hearted person; she doesn’t want to see her mother living in hardship in her later years.

The person went off to find someone immediately. Jian Anning waited for a while, then heard someone knock at the door, and she stood up immediately, "Have you found her?"

The person said with a troubled look, "No, Miss Jian. It’s another person who dropped off something and left. Would you like to take a look at the gift?"

"What kind of people are these, all delivering you gifts? And they’re all mysterious gifts? Bring it, let me see!" Without hesitation, Zhao Ziyin took the box and unceremoniously opened it.
