After waiting to go inside, Shu Xia was still shocked.

Qin Lao's interests were too broad, and many of the things he collected were things one wouldn't even think of.

"Girl, take your time looking," Qin Lao said, afraid that Shu Xia would get tired.

Qiao Nainai was also interested in these things, "I never thought you had collected so many; if Zhong Jiejie saw this, she would definitely say you are squandering your wealth."

"I actually hope she can come and take a look; many of these things are things she mentioned before, I just don't know if they are real or fake." A glimmer of expectation appeared in Qin Lao's eyes.

"I don't know when she will be able to return, but having Xia Xia look at them now is the same; if Xia Xia says they are fake, then they are fake," Qiao Nainai said.

Qin Lao nodded repeatedly, "Xia Xia's skills were taught by her; someone who could make her pass on all her knowledge cannot be wrong."

Shu Xia was already earnestly looking at them one by one, holding her phone in her hand; if there was something problematic, she would take a picture of it. As for what else Qiao Nainai and Qin Lao were chatting about, she could no longer hear it, as her attention was entirely on these items.

After looking through them one by one, she went up to the second floor.

After arriving on the second floor, the items were much simpler; what was hung up were all Ancient Paintings.

There were three floors in total.

By the time she finished looking at everything on the third floor, it was already dark outside.

Qin Lao and Qiao Nainai were sitting on the first floor resting.

Seeing Shu Xia come down from upstairs, Qiao Nainai beckoned to her, "Come quickly and rest for a bit. Your Grandpa Qin has collected too many things; are you tired from looking?"

"It's alright, I haven't seen so many good things in a long time." Shu Xia smiled, her eyes sparkling; one could tell at a glance that she truly loved these antiques that held various stories.

Qin Lao said with a chuckle, "How is it? How many of my things are fake?"

"Hurry up and tell us, let your Grandpa Qin feel a bit of heartache." Qiao Nainai loved to watch the excitement and didn't mind the trouble.

Shu Xia opened her phone, "This multicolored porcelain is fake, it's a reproduction from Jingdezhen, and this Ancient Painting is not by a Ming Dynasty painter..."

As Shu Xia flipped through the photos one by one, Qin Lao's expression became grave.

Qiao Nainai's expression was clearly not looking too good either.

Seeing their appearance, Shu Xia hesitated about whether she should continue speaking.

Perhaps sensing that Shu Xia had paused and was no longer flipping through photos, Qiao Nainai softened her expression and said to her with a smile, "Xia Xia, continue speaking. Your Grandpa Qin and I are not being serious because there are many fakes, but because two of the items you just mentioned were gifts from an old friend of ours."

"An old friend? Then I don't know if this old friend of Qiao Nainai and Qin Lao was deceived, but this jade piece once held the bones of a dead person. Fortunately, Grandpa Qin placed the jade piece here; if it had been placed in the living room or bedroom, there would have been a high probability of Grandpa Qin developing bone cancer-related illnesses." Shu Xia's expression also became grave.

"What?!" Qiao Nainai and Qin Lao exclaimed almost simultaneously.

Shu Xia knew that Qin Lao and Qiao Nainai were both close friends of Zhong Nainai, so she said very earnestly, "The jade piece must be sent away at noon tomorrow, preferably to a temple, so it doesn't harm anyone else again."

"Alright, I understand, we will do as Xia Xia says," Qin Lao said with a grave expression.

Qiao Nainai looked at Qin Lao and said earnestly, "It seems that although we are old, we haven't died yet, which always makes people find us an eyesore. You, you should be more on guard; in the future, if others give you things, let Xia Xia take a look at them, so you don't get harmed by someone without even knowing it."

"I know now, it will be troublesome for Xia Xia in the future." Qin Lao was serious at first, but then became very amiable when he looked at Shu Xia.

"It's no trouble, Grandpa Qin," Shu Xia smiled.

Qiao Nainai glared at Qin Lao, "Xia Xia has been helping you look for half the day, don't you know to give Xia Xia some good things?"
