Gu Qingluan’s figure suddenly swayed.
“Miss Gu, be careful!”
Jing Feng exclaimed with concern.
He hoped she wouldn’t get injured, or else he’d have to answer to his young master.
Turning mid-air, she steadied herself and leaped to Jing Feng’s side, her eyes fixed on him. “Who did you just mention? Little Yuanxi?”
Once the words were out, there was no taking them back.
Besides, with how kind Gu Qingluan had been to his young master, even gifting him precious ninth-grade spirit pills, she wouldn’t harm him. It should be fine to speak openly, right?
Jing Feng nodded in confirmation. “Yes, Young Master is the child His Highness brought back to the Holy Heaven Dynasty from Tianjing.”
Gu Qingluan found it hard to believe and murmured to herself, “How could it be Little Yuanxi? Didn’t Little Yuanxi’s mother pass away?”
“Alas, the situation back then was quite complex. His Highness lied to Young Master to spare his feelings.”
So, Little Yuanxi didn’t have another mother; she was his mother!
She had been so foolish!
Upon realizing that the child taken by Gu Lingxue hadn’t actually died, the idea of Yuanxi hadn’t even crossed her mind!
That child was hers!
Around the same age as Xiaonan, adorable and obedient, like a little celestial being. Moreover, they were so close. If it wasn’t her own flesh and blood, how could there be so many coincidences?
Gu Qingluan leaped into the courtyard. “Little Yuanxi!”
Jing Feng muttered to himself, “Miss Gu is running quite fast. It seems the young master’s mother is truly in a bad state.”
His face became serious, and he followed her inside.
“Beautiful Sister?” Feng Yuanxi heard the call and emerged from the house, only to find himself enveloped in a fragrant and soft embrace.
“Beautiful Sister, are you okay?” Feng Yuanxi was delighted by Gu Qingluan’s hug, but he also sensed that something was amiss with her emotions.
Gu Qingluan held him tightly, listening to the little one call her “Beautiful Sister”, her heart filled with joy and sorrow.
This was her child!
A luxurious carriage halted in Liuyang Lane.
Feng Tianlan emerged from the carriage, clad in a crescent-moon-colored robe.
“Today, 1 owe you a favor for your assistance.”
He stood at the doorway, turning to Qitian You who was on the carriage.
Qitian You couldn’t contain his excitement. This was a favor from the Royal Highness Lan, something countless people could only dream of receiving!
He only lent a carriage, and in return, he gained a significant reward. He truly wouldn’t mind a few more “chance encounters”.
Certainly, these were merely contemplations he allowed himself to entertain internally.
Wearing a gentle and courteous smile, he inquired, “Is Young Master Lan planning to stay here temporarily? If there’s anything you require help with in the days to come, feel free to ask without hesitation.”
Go ahead, ask away!
This way, he could rack up a few more favors owed to him.
Feng Tianlan’s expression turned chilly. “Thank you, Prince Qitian, but no need to see me off.”
If it were anyone else, Qitian You would have long been angered by such a blatant dismissal. But when it came to Feng Tianlan, he couldn’t summon any anger at all.
After this period of hosting, he understood the young master’s temperament better than anyone.
Nodding slightly, he bid farewell and left.
Back in his residence, Feng Tianlan noticed Jing Feng standing beneath the eaves, looking as clueless as a block of wood. He raised an eyebrow. “Where’s Yuanxi?”
Jing Feng snapped out of his stupor and rushed excitedly to his side. “Master, it turns out Miss Gu is Young Master’s birth mother!”
Since Gu Qingluan had disclosed her true identity to Feng Yuanxi, Jing Feng was completely taken aback. He didn’t even manage to intervene when Gu Qingluan took Feng Yuanxi with her. His thoughts were a jumble of notions like “Miss Gu is the mother of Young Master”, “Miss Gu tricked him”, and “Miss Gu’s friend is actually her”.
Feng Tianlan’s expression darkened slightly. “How did she find out?”
Seeing that he wasn’t surprised by the explosive news he had just shared, but instead seemed concerned about how Gu Qingluan found out, Jing Feng’s heart trembled.
So, the Master knew all along?
Did he cause trouble for the Master?
Summoning his courage, he admitted to being the one who spilled the beans, assuming he would be met with punishment.
However, Feng Tianlan showed no signs of anger.
“Yuanxi left with her?”
“Yes!” Jing Feng swallowed nervously.. “Master, what should we do next?”
