Gu Nanfeng touched the back of his head, which was swollen with a large bump, and spoke with a dark expression.

"Somebody come!"

The man who had been standing outside rushed in and knelt down to beg for forgiveness. "Master, it's all my fault. I failed to catch you in time. I've already had Chan, who knows medicine, examine you. Your head injury isn't serious. It will be fine in a couple of days!"

Chan said that the Marquis fainted because he was too excited and overwhelmed with anger, and he didn't know what he was so excited about.

"What it is?"

Gu Nanfeng saw a wooden box on the table. It looked like a food box but not quite, and it was very rough.

It was just a food box, something Old Xu did when he had nothing else to do.

"Master, these are dishes sent by the Jiang family. They said that since you paid for them, you absolutely must have some!"

As Jian spoke, she opened the food box and froze when she saw what was inside.

"Drain?! Pour it out!"

Gu Nanfeng got out of bed, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He had spent ten taels of silver, and Lin had actually sent him offal.

She is indeed a very cunning and ruthless woman, and also greedy for money.

When Jian heard this, she was about to leave when Gu Nanfeng stopped her.

"Wait, who delivered this?"

"It was the old man from the Jiang family who delivered it. He even said that if you, sir, don't like it, you can send it back to him so he can eat it!"

Jian thought about the old man's expression; he was practically drooling with desire, as if there was some delicious food inside.

He couldn't help but say, "Master, perhaps the Jiang family didn't do it on purpose. Meat is hard to come by in the countryside, so these offal dishes are a delicacy to them!"

The people here seem to be quite poor; they don't eat meat every day.

Gu Nanfeng frowned in thought, "Do you think there are any people in this world who are exactly alike?"

Cocoon: Ask me?

There was no one else in the room, so he had no choice but to answer seriously, "There should be."

Twins do look quite alike.

Gu Nanfeng then asked, "So, one person has three identical copies?"

With a blank expression, he said, "I think one might be a coincidence, but three is definitely man-made. Where would so many coincidences come from?"

Triplets? That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?

“You’re right, go heat up the food, I’ll eat.” Gu Nanfeng tapped the table with his fingers.

An old man who looks like the retired emperor, a woman who looks exactly like the late empress, and the former crown prince...

How did these three people end up in one place?

There was also Jiang Changtian, who felt strangely familiar to him, and the cunning Lin woman.

The Jiang family is really strange in every way.

The food was heated up and then served.

Gu Nanfeng's initial expression was one of extreme reluctance, but after tentatively taking a bite...

Really fragrant.

In short, we ate with great gusto.

The cocoon and the cicada that followed looked at each other in bewilderment.

Oh no, has the Marquis damaged his brain? He's even enjoying offal so much now?

Don't pig intestines smell bad?

After Gu Nanfeng finished eating, he wiped his mouth clean and said to the two of them, "Let's go to the Jiang family. We should see for ourselves whether they are human or ghost."

……

In the kitchen of the small courtyard.

"What's wrong with my sister-in-law? Why hasn't she left the house all afternoon?" Tan couldn't help but ask her mother-in-law.

Originally, Lin Shuyun was in charge of cooking. The others were only responsible for making noodles and other dishes, and they helped out by washing the vegetables.

This afternoon, Lin Shuyun didn't even step into the kitchen. She and her mother had prepared the meal, so how could Lin Shuyun not be curious?

After thinking for a moment, Ms. Tan said, "I know, it must be that very good-looking friend who scolded my sister-in-law this morning."

For this afternoon meal, they ate fried dough sticks with lard. Mrs. Tan and her third aunt fried quite a lot.

While scooping the pancakes from the oil pan, the third aunt gave her daughter-in-law a meaningful look, "Speak less, don't talk too much!"

She sensed that the people who came to Jiang Changtian's house were no ordinary people. If they were ordinary people, could they kill such a big wild boar?

One year, all the men in the village went into the mountains, and a wild boar even injured someone.

Four people could kill them.

Ms. Tan pursed her lips and remained silent; she was simply very curious.

As soon as Gu Nanfeng and his men entered the courtyard, they saw Gu Bao inside.

Gu Bao was about to run away when Gu Nanfeng rushed forward and grabbed Gu Bao by the back of the neck.

"Hey kid, why are you running?"

Gu Ru had just finished feeding Gu Chen his medicine and came out when she saw this scene. She was so frightened that she dropped the bowl in her hand to the ground. "Who are you? Let go of my brother!"

Looking at the little girl, Gu Nanfeng suddenly realized, "Are you the three children from the temple? You were saved by a woman?"

"Let me go! Let me go!" Gu Bao struggled.

Hearing the noise, Lin Shuyun came out of the space and opened the door. "Why are you here again?"

Gu Nanfeng looked up at her. "You're the woman the beggars were talking about who gouges out people's eyes, aren't you?"

He came to the village to investigate this matter, but somehow he got sidetracked and almost forgot his original purpose.

Adding to the strange events in the courtyard, Gu Nanfeng immediately attacked Lin Shuyun.

Lin Shuyun stood there blankly, as if she didn't know how to dodge, until her arm was grabbed, which startled her so much that her face turned pale.

"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to assault me? You've gone too far!"

Gu Nanfeng's face darkened. Was he faking it?

Gu Chen flung open the door. "Let go of Madam Lin! I gouged out the beggar's eyes!"

"What's your name?" Jian Gaosheng asked.

The cocoon and cicada behind Gu Nanfeng were stunned when they saw Gu Chen.

Gu Nanfeng glanced at his subordinate and couldn't help but scold, "Why are you asking people for no reason? Have you lost your mind?"

Cocoon lowered her voice, "Master, don't you think this child looks a bit like you?"

Gu Bao's face was so chubby that you couldn't tell, and Gu Ru was a girl, so you couldn't tell either.

Gu Chen, however, looks somewhat like Gu Nanfeng in terms of his eyebrows, eyes, and facial features!

"Is your mother named Gu Nanzhi?" Gu Nanfeng asked.

Gu Chen's expression changed instantly, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, "What nonsense are you talking about? No!"

"My mother's name is Gao Zhizhi, not Gu Nanzhi!" Gu Bao, who was being held captive, glared at Gu Nanfeng with puffed-out cheeks.

Gu Nanfeng laughed loudly after hearing this.

After laughing, he couldn't help but say to Gu Chen, "Kid, next time when you lie, don't react so strongly. This time it was written all over your face."

Then he grabbed Gu Bao and pinched his cheek, "Also, your maternal grandmother's surname is Gao, and your mother's nickname is Zhizhi, Gao Zhizhi."

Gu Bao struggled but couldn't break free, and tears streamed down her face in fear.

"How did you know my mother's nickname? You bad man, you've chased us all the way here, do you want to kill us?"

They were harmed like this by those bad people, and now that they've finally escaped, are they going to be caught again?

Gu Nanfeng slapped the boy on the butt, "Who said I was going to kill you? I'm your uncle, your own uncle!"

Gu Bao couldn't help but retort, "You're talking nonsense! We don't have any uncles at all. My maternal grandmother only gave birth to my mother, her only daughter. Where did you come from?"

"You brat, your mother is the legitimate daughter of the Gu family, and I am a son born out of wedlock, but in my heart, my sister is my own flesh and blood, and I am your uncle. You have to acknowledge that!"

Gu Nanfeng smiled and patted Gu Bao again.

He made the right choice coming to the village; he never expected to find his sister's child so easily.

Gu Chen, however, pondered for a moment, "Are you the little Fengfeng that Mother mentioned?"
