Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1015: Chapter 1006

The letter was written in the old-fashioned style, and it was done in brush calligraphy, more precisely, it could have been used as a copybook with its fine small regular script.

Before reading the contents of the letter, just by looking at the layout of this fine calligraphy, a scene nearly leaped out before Kang Li’s eyes.

A young lady of a prominent family sat at the desk, the window half-open. With delicate grace, holding a brush, her eyes downcast, she calmly wrote a letter on the paper before her.

A gentle breeze blew outside the window, the faint scent of flowers lingered in the air, wafting into the room with the breeze...

After a while, Kang Li pulled back her drifting thoughts and lowered her eyes to read the letter in her hand.

It was written in traditional Chinese characters, but Kang Li had no trouble with that.

The reason?

Before coming to this world, Kang Li had studied calligraphy with her grandfather in her childhood, and she was not unfamiliar with traditional characters at all.

The moments ticked by, and if Luo Yanqing were present, she would notice the gradual change in Kang Li’s expression.

From shock to confusion, then from confusion to calmness, finally turning into complexity.

”If you don’t believe it, take a look at this photo.”

Old Man Xiao sat beside her, naturally observing the changes in Kang Li’s expression. Seeing her fold the letter back into the envelope, he handed over a slightly yellowed photo.

”But why did Grandma Yu never mention it to me? Not even in front of my mother?” Taking the photo from Old Man Xiao, Kang Li glanced at it, her eyes calm, her tone indifferent, revealing no emotions.

Old Man Xiao: ”She was worried about complicating things for you. Even now, although everything is getting better, she’s still afraid of affecting you, so... so she never brought up those past matters with you, child,

you should feel it; her love and care for you are heartfelt. Ever since you saved her life by chance, she recognized you, and she’s been happy every day in these recent years.

She said she’s content. Even if she can’t explain everything clearly to you, she’s already satisfied in her heart! The reason she left this letter for you is mainly to give you the things passed down from your ancestors.”

Speaking of this, Old Man Xiao stood up: ”Come with me.”

Kang Li followed behind Old Man Xiao, and the two of them came to a rather simple side room.

”Child, close the door first.”

Old Man Xiao instructed.

Kang Li complied, turning to latch the door.

In the next moment, she saw Old Man Xiao move away an ordinary bed board, then press twice on an inconspicuous spot on the bed frame. The bed frame folded up before her eyes, and a seam in the floor slowly opened. Gradually, the seam widened until it could accommodate a person passing through, then it stopped changing.

”I’ll go down first, and you follow.”

In the opening large enough for a person to pass through was a wooden ladder, and looking down, there was a faint light visible.

Kang Li said nothing and followed closely after.

”Child, you’ve read the letter. Apart from what was donated to the country, what is stored here is all for you.” Pointing at five large sandalwood chests, Old Man Xiao walked forward, opening each lid one by one.

Kang Li watched silently. Although mentally prepared, she was still slightly surprised.

Two chests of gold bars, two chests of antique calligraphy and paintings, and one chest of jewelry and ornaments.

Old Man Xiao took out a carved wooden box, about the size of two adult palms, from the chest containing jewelry and ornaments.

”This contains all the house and shop contracts. The Jiang Family ancestral home and most of the properties and shops were donated to the country by the eldest lady. As for the Yu Family ancestral home and two larger residences,
