Chapter 537: 412 Did Not See the Gu Family Mourning_3
After taking care of the shop, Xiaofeng returned to her own small courtyard.
A half day had passed, and she felt a swelling in her heart.
There was no helping it, weaning a child is a stage when both the child and adult feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but make a phone call to Chu Qing to ask how the two children had slept last night.
“Dabao was no different than usual, eating then sleeping and sleeping then eating, very quiet. Erbao fussed a few tis, but after realizing that fussing wouldn’t get her milk, she also beca much quieter. Overall, the first night was quite successful. At this rate, I estimate it won’t take three days to wean them completely.”
Hearing that Dabao had not been fretting for her at all, Xiaofeng said with annoyance, “You little ungrateful one, I carry you every day, and you didn’t even think to look for after I didn’t co back last night.”
Despite her complaints, she still felt sowhat delighted inside.
The little ones had turned eight months in the blink of an eye; ti really flies.
After a bath, she went into the space, intending to properly nourish her body.
She lay on the grass, basking in the spiritual energy of the space.
Thinking of the things Su Dada had left for her, she suddenly beca curious. What were those things, and how could they resist fire?
She went straight to the storage room, took out the few items that looked like huge bowls or black coal balls, and examined them closely.
There were no patterns on them, and they looked very much like black iron, pitch-black.
“Xiaoqi, can you tell what this is? These things can help resist fire, which I find quite magical. Do you think it might be a spiritual artifact or sothing?”
Since the space could exist, surely spiritual artifacts could exist too.
Her rebirth and the arrival of the space had changed the way she thought.
“I haven’t been able to figure out where they ca from either,” Xiaoqi shook its head: “But I feel these big iron balls must be more than simple objects, they’re at least a few hundred years old.”
The surface shone with a black luster, and at a glance, one could see the semblance of sword and blade reflections.
“No way, are these actually antiques?” Xiaofeng flipped them over and over, examining them: “That being said, they really might be treasures.”
“Treasures they are, and these treasures even have spiritual energy in them.”
“How amazing,” Xiaofeng studied them again and again, but still couldn’t discern their secrets: “I guess they might be so ancient immortal’s personal possessions.”
Xiaoqi didn’t answer because it didn’t know the answer.
Xiaofeng decided to take the coal balls out to the market to see what they were actually used for.
Such fine objects, if their purpose was not known, wouldn’t it be akin to squandering divine resources?
Coming out of the space, she felt fresh and invigorated, extrely comfortable.
The space really was nurturing; she had only been inside for a while, yet it felt like she had undergone countless SPAs.
…
Early in the morning, Zhao Junkai was waiting at the store entrance with Fatty. When he saw her coming, Fatty approached with a grin: “Miss Su, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a while.”
Xiaofeng, seeing the other party’s unscrupulous smile, raised her elegant eyebrows: “Volunteering for no reason? There must be nothing good about this.”
“Miss Su, you’ve misunderstood ,” Fatty said, still smiling as if his mouth couldn’t close: “I ca to ask about sothing. Didn’t you say you’re one of the Dragon King’s people? Recently, everyone on the streets has been saying that the Dragon King has appeared. Do you know where the Dragon King is now? If you know, could you take there? Don’t worry, I’m definitely not planning to do anything to the Dragon King, I just want to et him and, by the way, ask if the Dragon King would take on disciples.”
If one could beco a subordinate of the Dragon King, what a glorious thing that would be.
“Xiaofeng, he insisted on waiting for you here, and I couldn’t do anything about it,” Zhao Junkai said, dressed in a well-fitted suit, looking quite stylish, with an apologetic look on his face.
“The Dragon King has returned to the Imperial Capital?” Xiaofeng was quite surprised: “I don’t know, when did he co back?”
Fatty: “….”
“You don’t know?”
“How would I know? No one told ,” Xiaofeng responded disgruntledly.
“You said you’re one of the Dragon King’s people, how could you possibly not know his whereabouts.”
“And you said you know the Wolfman, so let ask you, where is the Wolfman right now?” Xiaofeng said with a pout.
…
Yin Li was reporting to n Chao at the doorstep: “They said that the Dragon King seems to want to cooperate with them, but what background the Dragon King has, where he cos from, they have no idea, and neither can our people find out. n Chao, I have a premonition that this person is dangerous; for such a big project, is it inappropriate to involve him?”
n Chao looked at a photo expressionlessly. It was a family portrait: the portly woman was his mother, the genteel man was his father, and a young him stood between his parents, wearing a face of happiness.
An explosion ruined everything.
“For a first-ti cooperation, of course, we’ll test his sincerity. Rest assured, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the goods this ti.” For a first-ti cooperation, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to show his best cards.
Yin Li always trusted n Chao to handle things well. Seeing that n Chao had a plan in mind, she was about to leave when n Chao said: “How has Su Xiaofeng been behaving these past few days?”
“She hasn’t returned to the Gu Family, and the Gu Family hasn’t sent anyone to look for her. Should I go to the Gu Family to investigate and see what’s going on with Young Master Gu now?”
She also knew the horrors of that day, and under such circumstances, the chances of survival were slim.
Even if the legendary healer Hua Tuo were to be reborn, he could probably only bring him back from the brink of death, but a full recovery was definitely unlikely.
“No need,” n Chao said, clearly having his own plans: “Find an opportunity to get a sample of Su Xiaofeng’s twins’ hair; I want to know if these twins are Gu Family’s or not.”
“Definitely not Young Master Gu’s,” Yin Li was quite confident about this: “I’ve been in Xijiang County for so long, I might not know other things, but this I know very well. According to that idiot from the Su Family, the reason Young Master Gu married Su Xiaofeng was that she once saved his life. Seeing as Su Xiaofeng was having trouble registering her single motherhood status, he just wanted to help her.”
This was sothing Su Peng accidentally let slip; otherwise, who would have known.
“You an to…?”
“Whether Gu Yecheng is alive or not, or if he has t with an accident, she must know. Instead of trying to get information from the Gu Family, it’s better to start with her.” If Gu Yecheng were alive, why has the Gu Family not announced it? And if he were dead, the Gu Family hasn’t held a funeral either.
Her? Yin Li hadn’t had much interaction with Su Xiaofeng, but she was quite well-inford about her: “I heard before that Mrs. Gu wanted her to annul her marriage with Young Master Gu. I’m thinking, maybe her marriage agreent with Young Master Gu has already been dissolved.”
