Chapter 234: Calamity and Death
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were a few letters. The first letter was addressed to her. An Jiuyue finally understood why An Tu had died from his injuries after amassing so much wealth.
The letter explained that he had been in the army for many years and had many internal injuries. Even the imperial physicians asserted that he did not have many years to live.
He had come here so he would not have any regrets in his later years.
He wrote in the letter that saving the three of them and watching Zheng’er and Rong’er grow bit by bit made him feel that he had not lived in vain all these years.
He was past his limit when the white tiger attacked him—it was time for him to pass on. It was not that he did not want to be treated, but he could not.
Death was his destiny. It was a shackle that could not be removed.
“I see,” she whispered these words after a long time.
Even if she had been there, she would not be able to save someone already at death’s door. It was just… a pity.
An Jiuyue then looked at the other pieces of paper. They were not written to her, and she did not recognize any of the names.
Although she did not know them now, she believed she would definitely meet them and give these letters to them in the future.
She also opened the other two bamboo tubes to take a look. They were all assets that her father had left for her. He had entrusted her with his entire fortune.
......
As for the other four layers in the box, two contained four imperial edicts. Three of the edicts were blank and only had a jade seal stamped on them.
This implied that they could ask the Emperor for any three terms. Her father was really awesome!
When she opened the final imperial edict, she thought it would be blank too. However, something was written on it, and a letter was attached to it.
When she saw its contents… People often said that ancient people were astonishing—it turned out to be true!
Before An Tu took her in as his daughter, he had asked someone to read her fortune. He knew the Host would encounter a great calamity, causing her death and rebirth.
He had wanted to endure it with his sickly body and wait for An Jiuyue to overcome this. However, he could not wait any longer. He could only put everything he had into the box and place the key in the tree hole.
She had found it strange previously. If he wanted to give the Host these things, why would he lock the box and hide the key there?
Even now, there were many things she did not understand. What kind of person was her father?
I’ll stop thinking about it since I can’t figure it out. I’ll finish reading the things in the box first and put them away.
She wanted to take a look at the other two levels.
However, she noticed the sound of footsteps outside. Someone was coming upstairs.
She glanced at the closed door and put everything away. Locking the box, she stored it in her space.
Qian Yiyun knocked on her door and asked, “Sister-in-law, are you resting?”
“No.” An Jiuyue stood up and opened the door. “What’s the matter, Yiyun?”
“Nothing much.” Qian Yiyun scratched her forehead sheepishly and looked at An Jiuyue.
