Chapter Eleven: The Emperor's Heart in Red Jade

The rough stones were placed in the center of the living room, while the sofa and coffee table had long been moved to the corners. Pushing these things

aside made the entire living room feel spacious, at least twenty square meters.

The stones were arranged the same way as in Iwashita Mizugo's house, on trays with corresponding

price and quality tags.

Five of the stones were clearly of much better quality than the surrounding ones; it seemed these were the batch from our first day of stone

gambling , and also the relatively better quality batch.

The remaining twenty stones were somewhat disappointing. Each one was quite large, but their appearance, patterns, veins

… everything was a mess; some people would believe they were just ordinary stones.

Seeing my frown, Takahashi Shizuka's face also paled slightly. She whispered, "We didn't bring

an appraiser yesterday; Shunsuke chose them himself… Don't let their appearance fool you. The emerald you picked for me

wasn't much better looking, was it? Maybe one of these stones will turn out to be a gem!"

If gems could just appear anywhere, they wouldn't be gems, and gambling on stones wouldn't be gambling!

I didn't tell Aunt Shizuka this; I didn't want her to think I was showing off.

"That's possible,"

I said, walking towards the displayed stones.

For some reason, Takahashi Shizuka followed behind me, silent but seemingly very attentive. From this,

I could infer that she cared a lot about tomorrow's "Unity of All" conference.

"When it comes to gambling on stones, nobody can predict the outcome. Especially at these 'all-out' events, it's half

luck, but mostly it's all about chance."

I said to Aunt Jing behind me while observing the stones, "Your stone might be good, but someone else's

might be even better. Nobody knows the result until it's cut open. Since we can't control it,

let's just enjoy the fun of gambling. You're all rich, after all."

"Oh, you don't understand..."

The beautiful young woman glared at me. "Focus on your work, don't get distracted..."

Aunt Jing's unintentional coquettishness was somewhat similar to Xiao Lü'er's coquettishness, only much more

alluring . After all, Aunt Jing had the maturity and languid charm of age.

I smiled, stopped lecturing her, took a deep breath, and calmly

began to observe the stones before me.

First, of course, I appraised the five best-quality stones.

These five rough stones are far superior to the five at Iwashita Mizugo's house; they all originate from Old Hpakant.

In today's world of extremely scarce rough stone resources, the days when stones can be found in Hpakant, especially from the Old Hpakant mines,

are numbered. The efforts of Hokkaido merchants who were able to import such a large quantity of Old Hpakant rough stones this time

go beyond simply spending money. Anyone knowledgeable about rough stones understands this, and thus admires their

efficient and clean approach .

However, don't assume that the probability of finding green jadeite in Old Hpakant rough stones is high. In reality, it's only relatively

better. Among the top ten old mines, every mine can produce top-quality stones, and every mine can produce waste.

For example, of the five Old Hpakant rough stones I see now, one contains about ten kilograms of bright green jadeite,

one contains two pigeon-egg-sized pieces of blood-red jadeite, two contain only scattered "skin-like green,"

and the largest one doesn't contain any jadeite at all.

Seeing me shake my head, the beautiful young woman's heart tightened: "They're not all stones, are they?"

I smiled slightly and pointed to the stones, saying, "Of course not. This one and this one are not bad, the other three are just

so-so."

"Not bad means..." The stunningly beautiful Aunt Jing frowned her delicate eyebrows, "They're

not good enough to participate in this 'Unity of All' event?"

"There are no winners or losers."

I nodded.

"It's alright, there are still twenty left..."

The beautiful young woman took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"Mrs. Takahashi, is there some kind of bet involved in your participation in the 'Unity of All' event?"

I sensed something and turned to ask her.

"No, no... What are you thinking?"

Takahashi Jing snorted coldly, "Go on with your work, I'll pour you a glass of apple juice."

Watching her graceful figure disappear, I banished my guesses and placed my hand

on another stone.

The twenty stones were leftovers from the selections of the wealthy and powerful. Like most of the stones I

'd seen , their appearance and internal quality were poor, with "skin-green" and bean-like inclusions everywhere.

Of the first ten, only one contained one or two palm-sized pieces of egg-white green, worth at most

$100,000.

The beautiful young woman, seeing my sweat dripping down my face, seemed a little embarrassed and handed me a glass of apple juice:

"Take a break. There's still plenty of time; Shunsuke won't be back until at least one or two o'clock."

I nodded slightly, took the juice, and drank it all in one gulp, reassuring her, "There are still ten to look at.

Before the last one is identified, there's always a chance it could be top-quality jade. Don't worry."

"You're trying to comfort me now,"

Takahashi Shizuka muttered, taking the glass back from my hand, her expression noticeably better.

Without time to appreciate Aunt Shizuka's ever-present charm, I calmed myself and continued

my work of appraising the stones.

Seven more stones came in a row, all of them either scrap or nearly scrap, making me shake my head inwardly: "If

anyone is superstitious about the 'Top Ten Old Mine' stones, these twenty stones are enough to make them lose a fortune."

The eighteenth stone was very ordinary in appearance, 80 centimeters long, 50 centimeters wide, and 60 centimeters thick.

It was only one color, a grayish-white, and the surface was very brittle. If you rubbed it

hard , you could get a layer of limestone. The label next to it said it was from the Damukan Old Mine, but it had none of

the characteristic "python skin" and color bands of the Damukan Old Mine . 　　Could it be some kind of limestone being passed off as a genuine? 　　A thought crossed my mind. 　　Immediately, my inner energy flowed smoothly through my hand and into the stone.

The first twenty centimeters of the rough stone were entirely composed of soft, porous stone, lacking

any real hardness. Only after penetrating a little deeper did I finally encounter a harder stone.

Just a little deeper, and suddenly a dazzling red appeared before my eyes. My eyes lit up,

and looking around, I discovered this red jadeite was quite large, at least twenty centimeters in length, width, and height.

With such excellent clarity and a perfectly uniform red color, it was approaching glass-like quality, truly a top-grade

gem.

After examining the red jadeite a second time, confirming that it wasn't just a single band of jade, but

a large piece, I finally felt relieved.

Suddenly, my brow furrowed. Why was the center of the red jadeite different in color and texture from the outside

?

Gathering my inner energy at the center of the red jadeite, a soft

red Compared to the previous dazzling light, its brightness was much weaker, but its purity was ten times greater.

I had never seen such a pure and soft red in jadeite before.

Could this be... the legendary Red Jadeite Imperial Heart?

I channeled my inner energy, examining it three times before finally confirming it.

Indeed!

It is the Red Jadeite Imperial Heart, worthy of being compared to emeralds!

Jadeite, jadeite, red is called "fei," green is called "cui," these two colors have been the primary

colors .

The supreme green is emerald, also known as imperial green, and the supreme red is the Red

Jadeite Imperial Heart I just saw!

Historically, the Red Jadeite Imperial Heart is even rarer than emeralds. If collectors

didn't prefer the pure green, considering emeralds the orthodox color, the Red Jadeite Imperial Heart would likely have been a grade higher than

emeralds .

But this Red Jadeite Imperial Heart, at least the size of two adult fists, is undoubtedly worth the same as an emerald of the same size

!

I suddenly remembered the "Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity, and Happiness" jadeite I chose for Lily. If we compare these two, the "Fortune,

Prosperity, Longevity wouldn't have the upper hand; they would likely be evenly matched.

I withdrew my hand and turned to see the slightly nervous, flushed face of the beautiful young woman, her skin even beaded with sweat

.

"Is this one alright?"

Having experienced so many disappointments, Takahashi Shizuka's mind was now calm, and her tone wasn't

too hasty.

"It's fine."

"It's okay, if it doesn't work out... um?" The stunningly beautiful young woman's expression froze,

staring at me in disbelief. "What did you say?"

I didn't keep her in suspense, smiling and cupping my hands in a gesture of respect. "Congratulations, Mrs. Takahashi, it should be top-quality."

"Ah..."

With only three stones left, and those rejected by others, Takahashi Shizuka hadn't held out much

hope . Unexpectedly, it was almost a stroke of luck that I had identified a top-quality jadeite. Even with Aunt Shizuka's

composure, she couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

I was still waiting for Aunt Shizuka's thanks when, unexpectedly, the beautiful young woman

covered her face with her hands, trembling with excitement.

Wasn't that a bit much?

I scratched my head, wanting to pat Aunt Jing on the shoulder to calm her agitation, but remembering

the difference between men and women, and that she was still my mother-in-law, I abandoned the idea.

"Mrs. Takahashi... it's just a piece of jade, don't get so worked up."

I chose another way to appease the elegant and refined young woman. "If you like it,

I'll buy you a few more top-quality jade stones next time." "

Pfft..."

Aunt Jing, who was already a little teary-eyed with excitement, couldn't help but laugh out loud for the second time tonight.

The stunningly beautiful young woman lowered her hands, her delicate face streaked with tears, and gently

touched my forehead with a jade-like finger: "You, you're always so unlikable..."

My eyes widened immediately. Aunt Jing, are you kidding me? I was trying to comfort you.

Perhaps realizing her actions were too intimate, Takahashi Shizuka coughed lightly, her face slightly flushed as she withdrew her finger.

"Which do you think is better, this top-quality rough stone or the previous emerald?"

After a moment's thought, I said, "I can't really say, but this rough stone feels no

less impressive than the emerald, though it should be much larger."

Nodding, a captivating smile bloomed on the beautiful young woman's face, like a proudly blooming

peony, or a graceful lotus... a captivating blend of charms.

I quickly turned my eyes away: "Damn it, mother-in-law, don't you know you're a stunning beauty

? Why are you making such an alluring expression!"

Suddenly, I understood the reason behind Aunt Shizuka's usual stern demeanor—even that aloof and refined appearance was

incredibly charming. If Aunt Shizuka smiled more often in public, the chances of causing traffic chaos or

distraction would be much, much greater, wouldn't they?
