I saw the old lady at the top of the table pointing at me with her skinny hand. A watery green jade bracelet was swaying on her wrist.
Lila hurried forward and called out "Grandma". She was shocked. The old lady's words were full of hidden meanings. She was outside the village when she came of age. The old lady was confused, but what about Madam Xu, her stepmother? Was she also confused? Inexplicably, the old lady saw everything Hazel did today. Seeing that she had suffered a loss, she kept silent for the sake of the overall situation, so she was standing up for her?
The old lady's fingertips were dry and cold, but she still put the red agate and 18-bead agarwood necklace on her wrist with her own hands, trembling: "You will live in the manor when you come of age. This is a gift from me, your grandmother, as a gift for you."
Lila raised her eyes and met the old lady's cloudy eyes. She saw a gleam in those worldly-wise pupils.
She suddenly realized what the old lady was doing.
