"Are you saying that you are familiar with the aura of the owner of this jade slip?" Hua Ruge asked.

The Devouring Beast nodded its head and circled around the jade slip, looking like it was thinking.

Hua Ruge looked at it strangely.

"I thought of it. She was the first human that came into contact with me after I realized it. It's just that she never made a contract with me, and instead gave it to you." The Devouring Beast showed an expression of understanding as it spoke.

Hua Ruge was also shocked: "So you mean that person gave you to me?"

The Devouring Beast did not answer her, but continued: "I understand, this person is your mother."

"What?" Even Hua Ruge could feel his own shocked emotions.

What was this?

But just as she was thinking this, the blank space in her mind was replaced by some images.

The image showed her reading the message left behind by the jade. She couldn't remember what it said, but she remembered the meaning behind it.

It was her mother who had told her about her physique and told her to cultivate properly to protect herself.

When these scenes appeared, she only felt a dull pain in her chest. This kind of feeling was similar to hers but not to hers.

She covered her head with her hands, a pained look on her face.

The Devouring Beast jumped in front of her in a hurry and called her: "Master, Master, please wake up, what's wrong?"

But Hua Ruge still did not react.

After calming down for a while, her head was covered with sweat and she was slightly out of breath.

"Mother." She read it in a low voice.

The Devouring Beast looked at her and asked nervously: "Master, did you remember something?"

"I saw some images from before. My mother left me when I was young. I want to find her and bring her back." Hua Ruge said in a low voice.

"Anything else?"

Hua Ruge shook her head. "Just as I was about to continue thinking about it, my soul began to hurt.

"It will be better in the future." The Devouring Beast warned, "Memories should be left to nature. Don't try to force yourself to think back, it will harm you."

"Yes." After Hua Ruge replied, he picked up the jade scroll in his hand and said: "What exactly is mother afraid of by giving me this jade scroll? Where is she? "

The Devouring Beast shook its head.

Hua Ruge thought about the words within the jade slip, and started to ponder.

The jade slip said that the Shui family would discover her and kill her, it definitely wouldn't be referring to the conflict between her and Shui Yutong right now. Since that wasn't the case, why should they be afraid of being discovered?

Was she related to the Shui family?

She frowned and murmured in a low tone.

Devouring Beast lied on the table, originally drowsy, but after hearing this she got up and said: "I remember you have an aunt named Shui, her name is Shui Yunxuan."

It didn't have much memories of Hua Ruge's life, but it could still think of it after a few reminders.

"My aunt is my mother's sister or sister." Hua Ruge continued, "Shui Yunxuan, Shui Family."

Does that mean I really might have relatives with the Shui family?

The Devouring Beast nodded its head, but it did not care about that.

"The Shui family is such a big family, how would I know which one is my mother?" Hua Ruge rubbed his chin, feeling troubled.

Now, she had already narrowed the scope of the investigation from Falling Moon City to Shui Clan, but she was still in a difficult situation.

However, she quickly thought about the words in the jade slip.

Would the Shui family kill her?

Why would that be?

What kind of situation would it be to let her relatives kill her clansmen? And it was even under the condition that she hadn't done anything wrong.

It was most likely that her status was dishonorable, and even more so, that her family would be shamed.

Her mother was from the Shui Family, so she could very well be from the same generation as Yun, and she might have even shamed the entire family.

Furthermore, she was still in the Shui family!

When she thought about it, she also mumbled it out softly. When the Devouring Beast heard this, it felt that it was reasonable, but it didn't understand in the end.

"Master, how do you know she's in the Shui family? Maybe she's already married."

Hua Ruge pointed to the jade slip in its arms and said: "This is the reason, she was so concerned about me and yet she didn't come to see me, what does that mean?"

"What?" The Devouring Beast shook its little head doubtfully.

"There is only one possibility, and that is that meeting you will bring me danger. Thus, she must be at the Shui Family. I'm afraid that my visit will attract the attention of the Shui Family. " Hua Ruge analyzed.

"So complicated." The Devouring Beast indicated that its brain could not understand the problem.

"Based on what I've said before, the range is very small. She's over thirty years old, and is currently unmarried in the Shui family. Furthermore, her family is blemished." As Hua Ruge said this, a few figures had already flashed past his mind.

It was said that the once talented Shui Yunning of the Shui family had eloped with a man more than twenty years ago. She was brought back a few years later without any news of her death. If she didn't die, it meant that she was still in the Shui family.

Her actions were enough to shame another family. If it was her children, then the Shui family would definitely get rid of them. They definitely wouldn't allow wild children to exist, nor would they allow events from that year to be dug up just because of a child.

Thinking of this, she squinted her eyes and clenched her fists. However, these were all her guesses, so she had to find a way to confirm it.

That day, Hua Ruge went out and went straight to the tavern he frequented. He found a storyteller that was in his sixties, gave him a sum of money, and asked him a question.

These people had been collecting information about the upper class all year round, and their memory was especially good. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to recount a book to others, and would have had to recite the whole story in one go.

Her question was, how many women in the Shui family were over forty years old and still unmarried?

The old man eventually shook his head and said, "As far as I know, over a dozen women from the previous generation of the Shui family have all married off."

Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, there's still one more who has yet to leave the pavilion, but he had once walked with a wild man for a period of time, and that's that Shui Yunning." The old man subconsciously lowered his voice as he said this.

As this matter was taboo to the Shui Family, ordinary people would not dare to bring it up. They would only discuss it in private.

But these days, there weren't many people who really wanted to wake up.

When Hua Ruge heard this, she knew that she was looking for the answer. At this moment, she was both happy and worried.0

Was that really her mother?

She took a few deep breaths before leaving the old man's house. When she returned home, she thought about it for a long time. The more she thought about it, the more determined she became.

Even if she had to leave, she would take her mother with her. She would not hesitate to be targeted by the Shui family.

That day, she bribed a young servant of the Shui clan to give him a jade slip so that he could take it in.

Seeing that it was the money, the servant immediately brought it to Shui Yunning's courtyard and passed the jade scroll to Li Mama.
