“Are you sure?”
Wei Ting asked.
Su Xiaoxiao recalled carefully and said firmly, “I’m sure.”
The sensitivity of this body was different from ordinary people. There were advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage was that it had developed pain senses and tear ducts. The advantage was that its five senses were especially sharp.
Wei Ting frowned.
Although he was not close to Guo Huan, Guo Huan was his cousin after all. Before this, Guo Huan’s actions were very normal and did not raise any suspicion.
If he did have the fragrance of the White Lotus Society’s corpse hiding spot on him, then he was largely related to the White Lotus Society.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The handkerchief that the little thief used to wrap the gold bars last time also emitted this fragrance. According to him, he took it from a masked girl in the pleasure boat. Today, we met Guo Huan at the same place.
Don’t you think all of this is too coincidental?”
A complicated look flashed across Wei Ting’s eyes.
He looked at Guo Huan and Guo Lingxi, who had walked onto one of the pleasure boats, and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “I’ll send you back first.”
“I’ll wait with you,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “Aren’t we going on a date? It’s not easy to lose a third wheel.”
It was also very exciting to have a private time together.
Wei Ting did not understand the last three words, but he vaguely understood what they meant.
He didn’t mind, but he was curious. How could a girl switch her emotions more smoothly than a man’s?
The two of them got into the carriage and stopped in an inconspicuous alley.
He didn’t bring Yuchi Xiu or Fu Su today, so he could only keep an eye on them himself.
Wei Ting opened the curtain a crack and was on guard against the movements of the pleasure boat.
Su Xiaoxiao calmly held his hand.
Wei Ting paused.
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky as if she had done nothing.
Wei Ting’s fingertips moved, but he pretended not to notice and continued to spy.
Su Xiaoxiao played a trick and gently scratched his palm.
He was ticklish. He had the most itchy flesh on his waist and a little on his palm.
As expected, Wei Ting tightened his grip on her finger.
Su Xiaoxiao pretended to say, “Why are you grabbing my hand so hard? I won’t run away!”
Wei Ting was speechless.
After Guo Huan and Guo Lingxi entered the room of the pleasure boat, they could not see their exact movements.
That pleasure boat had better business than Pearl Pavilion. There were many people coming and going, both men and women.
About an hour later, Guo Huan sent Guo Lingxi to the carriage.
Guo Lingxi waved goodbye to Guo Huan.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Hurry, hurry, hurry. He’s going to act alone!”
Wei Ting wondered what woman he had married. Why was she more excited than anyone else when stirring trouble?
Guo Huan waited on the shore for a while before another inconspicuous carriage drove over.
Guo Huan sat down.
“Follow, ” Wei Ting said.
The coachman waved the horsewhip, and the wheels spun.
They followed Guo Huan all the way and realized that the carriage had stopped at the entrance of a winery.
Guo Huan did not enter the winery. Instead, he turned around and walked through the alley towards a gambling den.
“It’s the nest of the White Lotus Society,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Wei Ting lifted the curtain and looked. “How do you know? Have you been there?”
“I…” Su Xiaoxiao blinked.
Of course, she could not admit that she had followed Madam Wei into this gambling den.
“It’s Su MO! He found this place and heard the conversation between the boss and the servants. He mentioned Guardian He!”
Her dear cousin was used to take the blame!
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, “Guo Huan went in! Do you think.. he’s here to gamble?”
Wei Ting’s eyes turned cold. “Guo Huan doesn’t have a hobby of gambling.”
A person who did not gamble left his sister behind and entered the casino. If there was nothing else, no one would believe him.
“Are you going in?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting nodded. “I’ll go in and take a look. Wait for me in the carriage.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Okay.”
Wei Ting looked at her strangely. Was she so straightforward? Wasn’t she going to protest?
Su Xiaoxiao chased him away. “Go, go! Or he’ll leave later!”
No kidding.
She had won so much money in the gambling den. If she went in, she would expose himself, okay?
Wei Ting returned very quickly.
Su Xiaoxiao was only halfway through a walnut when she looked at Wei Ting, who had suddenly turned back. She asked in confusion, “What’s going on? Are you not following him anymore?” Wei Ting said, “He’s gone.”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “Huh?”
Wei Ting frowned. “He went in to use the toilet and left.”
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “It’s just to go to the toilet?” Could they have guessed wrongly?
Guo Huan had nothing to do with the White Lotus Society?
But how could he explain the fragrance on his body?
Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and Guo Huan came out of the gambling den and calmly got into the carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the sunlight above her head and then at the elegant Guo Huan with a thoughtful expression.
At the Wei family.
Matriarch Wei was teaching Wei Xiyue how to write when Nanny Li entered with a smile. “Matriarch, Young Master Guo is here!”
“Is it Huan’er?” Matriarch Wei asked.
The Guo family had a total of two Young Master Guo, but the second son was the son of a concubine and did not interact much with the Wei family.
Nanny Li smiled and said, “Yes!”
Matriarch Wei was delighted and let go of Wei Xiyue. “Quickly let him in! Go tell Eldest Daughter-in-law to get them over too!”
“Yes!” Nanny Li smiled and left.
Guo Huan walked in handsomely and cupped his hands at Old Madam Wei. “Old Madam! Huan’er greets you!”
“Come and sit! Come here!” Matriarch Wei waved at him.
Guo Huan walked over with a smile and sat down beside Matriarch Wei.
Matriarch Wei had Wei Xiyue in her arms.
Wei Xiyue raised her head and looked at him with an unfamiliar expression. Guo Huan smiled. “Xiyue, do you still remember me?”
Old Madam Wei said to her granddaughter, “It’s your Uncle Guo. Say hi.”
Wei Xiyue was shy.
She didn’t like to greet people.
At this moment, the five of them came over.
When Wei Xiyue saw Madam Li, she got up and threw herself into her arms.
Old Madam Wei smiled and said, “This child hasn’t seen you in a long time. She’s shy.”
Guo Huan smiled and said, “It took me a long time to get Xiyue to call me
Uncle. If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone for so long.”
Wei Xiyue wanted to go out to play, but Madam Li asked the servants to watch her.
“Cousin. ”
Madam Chu and the others greeted him.
They regarded Guo Huan as their brother-in-law. Among the seven sons of the Wei family, only Wei Ting was younger than Guo Huan.
Although Madam Wei’s relationship with the Wei family was neither warm nor cold, Guo Huan was deeply loved by the Wei family.
Wei Ting and his brothers were very mischievous, so Guo Huan was much more sensible by contrast.
Old Madam Wei sighed more than once. “Our fourth and fifth brothers love to cause trouble outside. It’s all thanks Huan’er for cleaning up the mess!” Guo Huan also greeted his cousins.
“When did you return to the capital?” Matriarch Wei held Guo Huan’s hand and asked.
Guo Huan said, “I just returned yesterday.”
Old Madam Wei said, “Why didn’t you rest at home for a couple of days before coming.
Guo Huan smiled. “Huan’er misses Matriarch and Aunt.”
Old Madam Wei sighed. “I know you’re filial. Alright, I’m fine here. Go see your aunt. Come over for dinner later. I’ll get the kitchen to make a few of your favorite dishes.”
Guo Huan teased, “Then I’ll have to trouble you. I eat a lot.”
Old Madam Wei glared at him. “Take care of your stomach!”
Guo Huan asked the servants to carry the gifts in. He was also very concerned about choosing the gifts and completely targeted everyone’s preferences.
“Wow, what a beautiful whip.” Madam Lan was extremely happy.
“As long as Fourth Sister-in-law likes it,” Guo Huan said with a smile. Chu and the others were also very satisfied with their gifts. “Hurry up and see your aunt,” Matriarch Wei urged.
“Aye,” Guo Huan agreed with a smile.
He came to the courtyard. A white figure rushed over and pounced on him, scratching his neck.
Wei Xiyue hurriedly ran over and picked up the little packrat that had fallen to the ground.
Guo Huan raised his hand and touched the wound on his neck.
Then, he looked at the blood on his fingertip with a deep gaze.
Wei Xiyue took a step back with the little packrat and looked at him fearfully.
“Little Miss! Little Miss!”
The maidservant chased after her breathlessly. “Young Miss! You really… really… can’t run so quickly in the future… I won’t be able to catch up… You’re a seven-year-old child… How can you run faster than an adult like me… You clearly don’t look strong…”
After the maidservant finished speaking, she saw Guo Huan and hurriedly bowed. “Young… Young Master Guo!”
A gentle smile appeared on Guo Huan’s handsome face. “It’s Xiao Ju, right? You’re already so tall.”
Xiao Ju was flattered and scratched her head shyly. “Young Master Guo still remembers me…”
Guo Huan smiled and came to Wei Xiyue. He raised his cold hand and gently touched the little fat squirrel in Wei Xiyue’s arms.
“What’s it called?”
He asked softly.
“Little White,” Wei Xiyue whispered.
Guo Huan’s smile was as warm as the morning sun. “What a good name.”
Wei Xiyue looked at his neck and hugged Little White tightly. She took a step back and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. Uncle won’t be angry.”
Guo Huan said gently and took another step forward. He bent down and stroked the little packrat’s tail with his slender and cold fingertips.
“This little thing is cute, but it’s very difficult to raise. Xiyue, you have to take good care of it. Don’t let it die..”
