Chapter 56: Chapter 55 Qiaoqiao’s Hand Problem At the same moment, in a hospital in the Imperial Capital, Elder Luo gripped the nucleus carving in his right hand with excitement. After closing his eyes and meditating for a while, he reluctantly placed the nucleus carving back into the jade box and said to Luo Fan, “I believe Qiaoqiao carved this, she must have encountered some difficulties. Zhang Yi only saw the exquisite craftsmanship of this nucleus carving, but he doesn’t know that this carving has other treasures within it too. We’ll keep it safe for Qiaoqiao until there’s an opportunity to discuss it…” “Grandfather, I did hear something today…” “What is it, let’s hear it,” Luo Zhenyu said kindly, gazing at his beloved grandson. Luo Fan then shared what he had heard that afternoon about the Bai Family and Qin Family with Luo Zhenyu. After all, they were all part of the same circle. ... It was normal to get the news first-hand. After hearing this, Luo Zhenyu’s expression darkened with anger as he bitterly said, “The Qin Family people are foolish, to collude with outsiders to trap their own daughter-in-law.” “Yes, I heard it’s because Gu Qiaoqiao comes from the countryside; Shen Manru doesn’t respect her at all. It seems Qiaoqiao’s days have not been easy.” “What about it if she is from the countryside? Our Luo Family is not much different in status from the Qin Family, and your third aunt also comes from the countryside, yet our Luo Family treats her very well…” Luo Fan hurriedly advised, “Grandfather, please don’t be angry. Grandma Qin is sensible, and her husband is very decisive, which is why they even sent several people to the police station.” Since being saved by the master, Luo Zhenyu felt grateful toward the people and events around him, so hearing about this matter, especially because Gu Qiaoqiao was the family’s lifesaver, naturally upset him greatly. He gave Luo Fan a few more instructions, to which Luo Fan nodded repeatedly. Luo Zhenyu stared at the jade box, his gaze revealing deep thought. All this was unknown to Gu Qiaoqiao. After sorting everything out, she returned to her room. Usually at this time, Qin Yize would not stay with her. He preferred to quietly watch TV with Grandma Qin. Yet, inside Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart, the excitement was hard to conceal. She was genuinely happy. Bai Yun was the thorn in her heart; now watching her rendered speechless and taken to the police station, Gu Qiaoqiao felt as if the thorn in her heart was finally removed. The way the Qin Family handled the situation left her speechless, and she was also at fault. Falling in love with the wrong person, entering a family she shouldn’t have, it was her own fault. They say awareness of your own situation is precious, but being spoiled by her grandfather, she indeed was somewhat out of touch with reality. And she hardly understood the consequences of such disparate social statuses. That’s why after less than a year of entering the Qin Family, upon seeing the clear distinctions, she became increasingly timid, weak, and even felt inferior. Perhaps because she cared too much, she had shackled herself. Actually, she hadn’t always been like this. It was her love that cost her herself. However, all these were issues of the past now. The Qin Family, without her, would not face those disasters forthcoming. Grandma Qin remained healthy, and Qin Xiaoyu was still lively and bouncing around. And she would soon return to her parents’ side. This was a situation where parting ways was best for both parties, for each to be content.

After washing up, Qin Yize had still not returned to the room, so Gu Qiaoqiao decided to take out an olive kernel and, holding her carving knife, went to the study. Sitting in a chair, she flexed her fingers just like she had done the day before, then closed her eyes in thought for a moment. Only then did she slowly open her eyes. She planned to carve the Eighteen Arhats on this olive kernel, then drill holes and thread it to make a pendant. Any Buddhist seeing it would naturally like it. She extended her hand and set the knife down. But the next moment, she suddenly startled; Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened as she stared unbelievably at her seemingly frozen fingers. Then she drew the knife down again, but her fingers remained completely still. The smooth olive pit bore no mark at all. Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart thudded wildly; why couldn’t her hand move suddenly? Her face turned ghostly pale; was there something wrong with her hand? Could she be becoming paralyzed? Doubting, Gu Qiaoqiao held the carving knife and tried to cut deeply again, yet it remained right where it started, immobile. Could she no longer use her hand? Then, had she become disabled? Forget about providing a good life for her family, she might have become a burden to her parents. Gu Qiaoqiao was on the verge of tears, her back breaking out in a cold sweat. Suddenly, she put down the carving knife and hurriedly started moving. Then she was shocked to discover that her fingers could move again. They were still flexible and moved freely. Gu Qiaoqiao experimented many more times. She ultimately found that as long as she didn’t use the carving knife on walnuts or olive kernels, everything was normal. But when she placed the carving knife on the object to be carved, time seemed to eerily freeze. However, the spiritual energy in her fingers was still there. Touching her own chest, she felt a warm sensation. What exactly was going on? Was Heaven playing with her? This was too unfair. Why destroy her carving skills that she relied on to survive? Suddenly, Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind sharpened, and she quickly dismissed the idea. Heaven is fair. Otherwise, how could she have been given a second chance at life! Anyone could say Heaven was unfair, but she, Gu Qiaoqiao, could not. But, what exactly was going on? Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to cry but had no tears. She paced back and forth anxiously in the study. Her mind was in a complete mess. What exactly had happened? Why did such an inconceivable event occur? Gu Qiaoqiao, upset, grabbed her hair, regretting everything. If from now on she could no longer hold a carving knife, then she had really lost a fortune by selling the nucleus carving to Yubao Square. You see, that nucleus carving still retained spiritual energy; it was very beneficial for the body to hold and play with it. She had even planned to carve one for each, Old Master Qin and Grandma Qin. Because she was fast, she could almost carve one in a few hours. She had even calculated how much money she would bring home. Now, it was all gone, forget about speed, she couldn’t even make a single cut. Gu Qiaoqiao pondered bitterly. From time to time, she moved her wrist. And just in that moment, a sudden insight flashed in her mind, and then her body stiffened. Could it be… She raised her right hand, and indeed, if she successfully threw Bai Yun to the ground, it was because of her hand. Bai Yun wouldn’t be foolish enough to steal Qin Family’s belongings and blatantly keep them in her pocket. Even if she did, she would have hidden them early on. Exactly! The Silent Night Cicada was taken by Gu Qiaoqiao that morning. She wanted to give Bai Yun, Qin Xuan, and Shen Manru a chance to let them go, and let herself go too, because once she left the Qin Family, there would be no further involvement. She would let it all blow away with the wind. If upon her return from Yubao Square to Qin Family, Bai Yun had kept quiet about this matter, or perhaps Qin Xuan and Shen Manru had shown unconditioned trust in her like Grandma Qin, she wouldn’t have planted the Silent Night Cicada in Bai Yun’s pants. And she wouldn’t have taken the opportunity to report the matter.
