The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 420 Memories and Doubts

Lin Ruoxue's residence in the Mo Gang was a very elegantly decorated room. There was a carved pearwood bed in the room, with a light curtain hanging down, exuding a faint sandalwood scent. There was a desk near the window, on which were neatly placed pens, inkstones, and several miscellaneous records of the martial arts world. On the clothes hangers by the wall were several clothes she usually wore, with plain colors but neatness. There were also several exquisite wooden boxes in the corners, which contained some of her personal belongings.

Lin Ruoxue walked back to her residence in the Mo Gang with heavy steps. As soon as she entered the room, she gently closed the door, as if she wanted to isolate the rumors outside. However, the various speculations about her life experience were like a thorn in her flesh, tightly wrapped around her heart, and could not be shaken off.

She slowly walked to the desk, slumped in the chair, propped up her forehead with both hands, looked a little tired and confused, her eyes that used to be bright now showed deep doubts and entanglements, and she fell into deep thought. She knew that just based on the rumors she had just heard from the gang members outside the remote hut, she could not be sure that she was a Khitan. But those words were like sharp needles, piercing her heart, making it impossible for her to pretend that she had not heard anything and ignore it so easily.

"Is it possible that I am a Khitan?" Lin Ruoxue whispered in her heart, frowning tightly. She grew up in the Central Plains since she was a child. Whether it is her living habits or her emotional belonging, she is a Central Plains person through and through. The brothers and sisters of the Mo Gang, those days of life and death together, and every plant and tree in the Mo Gang, have long become an indispensable part of her life. But now, this sudden suspicion of her life experience has messed up her originally clear self-awareness.

Amidst all the confusion and doubts, Lin Ruoxue's thoughts could not help but drift back to her childhood. She tried hard to search through her vague childhood memories, trying to find some clues that might be related to her life experience.

Suddenly, an image flashed through her mind. It was a piece of jade pendant with a peculiar shape. She remembered that she seemed to like that piece of jade pendant very much when she was a child, and she always couldn't put it down and played with it. The texture of the jade pendant was warm and delicate, and it felt great to the touch, but what impressed her most was the patterns carved on it. Those patterns were winding and intricate, showing a style she had never seen on objects in the Central Plains. At that time, she was young and only thought that the jade pendant was very beautiful, but she didn't explore its origins too much.

The old prime minister once said that the things she was carrying might be related to her life experience. But at that time, she didn't pay much attention to them and just regarded them as ordinary accessories. Now that she thinks about it, this jade pendant may really be the key to solving the mystery of her life experience.

Lin Ruoxue raised her head suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. She stood up quickly, walked quickly to the wooden box in the corner, squatted down, and began to search in the wooden box. Her movements were a little anxious, and she took out the clothes and sundries in the wooden box one by one and threw them aside, with the sole intention of finding the jade pendant as soon as possible.

Finally, in the bottom corner of the wooden box, she found the jade pendant, which was already a little old. She carefully took it out, held it in her palm, and looked at it carefully in the light coming in from the window.

The jade pendant glowed softly under the light, and the patterns on it were still so strange, unlike the common patterns in the Central Plains. Lin Ruoxue became more and more certain that this jade pendant must be hiding some secret about her life experience.

However, she knew very little about Khitan culture and objects. What could she tell from this jade pendant? Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that she didn't have enough knowledge in these areas. She stared at the jade pendant, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and anxiety.

"If only I knew more about Khitan culture, I might be able to find more clues from this jade pendant." Lin Ruoxue sighed softly, her heart full of regret. She knew that this jade pendant was like a key, but she didn't know how to use it to open the door that hid the mystery of her life.
