Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1934 - 1941: Clever Little Son (3)

In the haste of that moment, he didn’t have a chance to look closely at the child. Now, feeling the jade necklace in his hand, the Boss felt somewhat regretful.

"Big Brother may not know, but this is top-grade mutton fat jade! My family once had a few pieces like this, and the color wasn’t even as good as this one. Boss, this time we might have been too rash!"

The pale-faced fox spoke, his voice already trembling slightly.

"Mutton fat jade?! How is this possible?" The Boss’s voice also started to tremble. Even if he was not very knowledgeable, he knew the basic common knowledge: the Qing Luo Kingdom had laws stipulating that mutton fat jade could only be worn by nobles, ordinary people couldn’t wear it at all! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Could these two children be the children of noble families?

It couldn’t be. They were all dressed as people from the Great Jin, they couldn’t possibly be Qing Luo Kingdom aristocrats. Maybe they were business people like the richest person in Qing Luo Kingdom, Huo Yuan. However, the current Emperor grew up in the Great Jin. If their parents had any connection with His Majesty, then they might really be half a step on the road to Hell!

The Boss thought, nearly dropping the jade necklace in his hand in his shock. Steadying his mind, he asked, "Has that child woken up? Have you asked him? What did he say!"

Shaking his head, the pale-faced fox said, "The child hasn’t woken up yet. But, if that kid’s background is significant... we’d better prepare early now!"

The Boss was startled by the words, his expression changed, and his gaze turned fierce, saying, "You’re right. If this kid really is a big deal, then we have no choice but to see it through to the end!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a downward chopping motion. The meaning was already very clear: if the child truly had a big background, now they needed to kill them and quickly dispose of the body. Only this way could they be more secretive and more likely to save their lives.

It’s necessary to know that if this child were alive, hiding a living person would not be easy. Only if they’re dead could everything be clean, leaving no traces behind.

The pale-faced fox evidently had the same idea, and upon hearing this, his expression firmed up, saying, "Big Brother thinks right, our lives are always more valuable than silver money."

The Boss, having made up his mind, was not as flustered as before, saying, "Let’s go, now let’s wake up that kid and question him properly."

With that, the two of them headed toward the side room, one after the other.

The side room was pitch-black, without any lights. The two climbed onto the kang, uncovering the pile of quilts on the kang. Under the quilts was a cover plate from which dim light seeped through. It turned out this side room had a secret chamber with a dug-out tunnel.

The Boss went first, followed by the pale-faced fox, as they jumped down and covered the top lid.

The tunnel had two hidden rooms dug with ten plus steps downward, completely unventilated. Even in this cold, winter month, a sour, decayed stench permeated the air, though there was still an oil lamp hanging on the wall.

The two entered the hidden room near the east. The room was very small, could only accommodate seven or eight children, yet now, there was only a small shadow huddled in the corner, motionless, looking extremely pitiful.

Without needing instructions from the Boss, the pale-faced fox lit the lamp, illuminating the room, casting a dim light over that small body.

The child, having been drugged, was still sleeping soundly, with a peaceful face. The Boss looked over, once again shocked by the child’s exceptional appearance.

However, at this moment, looking at this appearance made his heart leap in fright. The child’s clothes were disheveled, the outer coat, head, and body decorations long stripped away. What remained was the middle garment inside, which didn’t seem to be ordinary items either, very exquisite.

The Boss made a sign with his eyes, and the pale-faced fox moved forward, opening a small porcelain bottle, placing it under the child’s nose.
