Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104: The Zhou Family’s Kid?Zhulan emerged holding the box containing the Jade Pendant, while the Emperor and Zhou Shuren were locked in a gaze. She noticed the aversion in the Emperor’s eyes, while Zhou Shuren’s face remained expressionless, yet she could guess that Zhou Shuren was probably rolling his eyes inwardly!
With a smile in her eyes, Zhulan placed the box on the table, "Emperor, the Jade Pendant has been found."
During her speech, she opened the box, and the Jade Pendant lay inside.
The Emperor reached out and took the Jade Pendant, fell silent for a while, then pulled off his own Jade Pendant to compare it. He lifted his head, thought of Zhou Shuren’s words, coughed once, and quietly stuffed his own Jade Pendant into his sleeve.
Eunuch Liu looked left and right, but deliberately avoided looking at the Emperor; yet he thought to himself how miraculous it was that, after such a long

Zhulan stood up to draw the portrait, which was truly difficult. The feeling of drawing one’s own deceased relative was disconcerting, especially since her memories were somewhat distant, and her hand wavered as she began to paint.

The Clan Leader was taken aback; he had considered various possibilities and even conspiracy theories that Prince Liang held a grudge against Zhou Shuren, seeking to disturb the Zhou family’s Feng Shui. Now hearing this, "Your grandmother was indeed strange, seldom leaving her courtyard."
Chang Zhi asked softly, "Clan Leader, who carved the patterns on my grandfather and grandmother’s coffins?"
Chang Zhi was too young to know anything.
The Clan Leader knew, "Your grandfather’s was carved by your grandmother, and her coffin was prepared well in advance, presumably also carved by herself."
Chang Zhi’s mind was in turmoil, feeling that his grandmother was shrouded in mysteries, hiding boxes under the gravestone not something ordinary people would do.
Seeing Chang Zhi not speaking, the Clan Leader was anxious, fearing for the entire Zhou family’s future, and thus pressed on, "What was Prince Liang’s attitude?"
Chang Zhi revisited the memory, "It might have been quite positive?"
The Clan Leader, "...Be more specific."
Chang Zhi replied, "Actually, I was quite bold and said some provocative things. Prince Liang, cough, he is not usually polite to anyone, but he was quite restrained with me and in the end, didn’t say much before he left."
