“No, I have to go to the police station tomorrow. I think your theory and analysis doesn’t make sense at all. If it were really that simple, Xiao Chenyang would have deciphered it long ago.”
“It probably didn’t come to his mind. But you’re right, it can’t be that simple. I’m starting to think that my analysis is a little far-fetched too.”
“Right, I told you you were reading too much into things,” said An Xiaoning who then proceeded to freshen up and remove her makeup.
Jin Qingyan took a look at the treasure map in his left hand and compared it to the simple sketch in his right. He smiled and put the map away.
After washing up, An Xiaoning climbed back onto the bed and lay down beside him. She snuggled up beside him and murmured with her eyes slightly open, “Qingyan…”
“Yes?”
“I’m tired.”
“You’ve had a long journey home. Go to bed.”
“Pat me to sleep.”
He then began patting her gently and sang softly, “Go to sleep… go to sleep… my beloved baby Xiaoning…”
An Xiaoning burst into laughter and asked, “What on earth are you singing?”
“You’ve got so many complaints even when I’m coaxing you. Are you going to sleep or not?”
“Yes, of course I am. Hubby, do you find me troublesome now?”
“No, I wouldn’t dare to.”
“You do, don’t you?”
“I swear to Heaven, I don’t find you troublesome at all.”
“…”
An Xiaoning was initially planning to head to the police station straight in the morning. However, Jin Qingyan insisted that they go to the family mansion first.
Mr. Jin had long been discharged from the hospital. He was sitting in the yard and listening to some opera when he caught sight of Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning.
Not forgetting Henry’s harsh and defiant attitude toward him at the hospital, Mr. Jin quipped, “You’re actually home?”
Jin Qingyan immediately said, “If I don’t ever come home, you’re going to miss me dearly.”
Mr. Jin glared at him and asked, “What are you back for?”
“Two things, one is to visit you and check if you’ve invited your friends over for a gambling session, and the other is to take a look at our family mansion, of course.”
“I’ve already quit gambling. You don’t have to mock me.”
“Let your actions do the talking. I won’t believe your words. Father, I have something to ask you about.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Has the layout of the entire mansion, including the garden, garage, and servants’ dorms, stayed the same for years?”
“Why do you need to know that?” Mr. Jin asked in puzzlement.
“Just answer me.”
“Of course it has. Don’t you know that we’re not allowed to rearrange the Feng Shui of the mansion? It’s an ancestral rule to adhere to the old layout and style if we were to build a house.”
“Father, give me the floor plan of the family mansion and ancestral burial ground.”
“What are you trying to do?” Mr. Jin questioned.
“Nothing much, just give them to me.”
“It’s locked inside the drawer of my study. The key is beside my bed. Go get it yourself.”
Jin Qingyan nodded and entered the main mansion together with An Xiaoning, hand in hand.
After retrieving the key, he proceeded to the study to get the sketches of the floor plans.
An Xiaoning was a little dumbstruck after taking a look at it.
Holding the floor plan in her hands, she scrutinized it carefully before taking a look at the treasure map that Jin Qingyan was holding. She stood rooted to the ground in shock.
“Seems like I was right. Let’s go,” said Jin Qingyan.
“Where are we going?”
Pointing at the middle of the map, he said, “Here.”
An Xiaoning followed his lead since he was definitely familiar with the family mansion.
They began approaching the ancestral burial ground.
All of the Jin family ancestors had been buried in the ancestral graveyard.
She looked over to see that there were numerous tombstones, all of which had different designs and sizes.
“Those who have contributed most to the family will have a larger tombstone,” Jin Qingyan explained.
“Which tomb are we going to first?”
“That one over there. The one beside the largest tombstone. Do you see it?” he said while pointing toward the front.
Feeling extremely excited, An Xiaoning pulled him toward the grave. Jin Qingyan wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted the two of them up in the air. Within just seconds, they arrived at their destination.
The moment they landed, An Xiaoning shook her body and stared at the tombstone in front of her.
There was no photo of the late family member because he had passed away ages ago.
It belonged to Jin Yuanzhi, who had passed on at the young age of 35 years old.
“He passed away at such a young age.”
Jin Qingyan nodded and said, “Seems like we must open this tomb.”
“Your father is definitely going to reprimand you. This belongs to your forefather, I don’t think we’re supposed to open it.”
“He’s berated me so many times before. One more time won’t make a difference.”
“…”
However, Mr. Jin intervened and began berating him just as he was about to open the tomb.
“You rascal, what are you trying to do? You can’t just open our ancestor’s tomb.”
“Father, I have my reasons.”
Mr. Jin hollered, “I don’t care what reasons you may have. You’re not allowed to open it!”
However, Mr. Jin’s words had no effect on Jin Qingyan at all. He had long lost his power over the latter.
Jin Yuanzhi’s tomb was thus opened.
Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning were the only ones left after the servants were dismissed. They had even prohibited Mr. Jin from tagging along.
The coffin was, strangely, extremely huge compared to the tombstone.
It wasn’t too surprising, however.
There was a large gap in between each tombstone anyway.
The coffin was covered by a golden fabric.
The appearance of the coffin was well obscured beneath the fabric.
“You should go down and take a look,” An Xiaoning said while poking his arm. After all, it was his family’s ancestor, and it was only right for him to go take a look.
Jin Qingyan made his way down slowly and picked up the piece of golden fabric.
As expected, he was greeted with the sight of a corpse.
He straightened his back and grabbed the fabric.
An Xiaoning took a closer look to see that there was nothing inside the coffin except the corpse.
Nothing was buried with him either.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
“What’s going on? There’s nothing inside at all,” said An Xiaoning.
Jin Qingyan was astonished as well. He took a look carefully, only to discover that there was indeed nothing.
“Did you make a mistake?”
Jin Qingyan compared the two diagrams again and said, “No, I didn’t.”
“There’s a blanket below the corpse. Could there be something there?”
Upon hearing her words, Jin Qingyan was at a sudden loss for what to do.
Since the blanket was beneath the corpse, he would have to touch the corpse in order to look at the blanket.
However, the Jin family ancestral rule strictly prohibits anyone from touching the corpses and graves of the late ancestors.
