Suddenly, the soup was snatched away, and half of it spilled onto the table.

Lin Shuyun's temper flared instantly, and she glared at Xiugu with murderous intent, "Are you sick?"

Xiugu, holding the soup, explained in a somewhat stiff tone, "Madam is unwell and cannot eat anything."

Qin Niangzi was the first to lose her temper, "Oh dear, before the master has even spoken, the dog beside her has already started barking! Guan Suyi, you haven't trained your servant well."

Lin Shuyun snatched the soup bowl away. "This is my home. If you don't want to stay, you can leave. I'm not forcing you to stay."

She refrained from saying anything harsh because of the great beauty.

Xiaoqing looked coldly at Xiugu, "That's right, you think you're something special. We don't welcome you in our home, get out!"

"Xiugu, what are you doing?"

Guan Suying also looked unwell.

"Madam, this soup..."

Seeing that the lady and the young general were staring at her, Xiugu knelt down. "Lady, please don't send me away. Bailu and Shuangjiang are both injured and it's inconvenient for them to serve you. I was wrong. I just thought that you couldn't drink this soup, so I took it from you in a moment of panic."

Lin Shuyun whispered to Jiang Changtian, the kind of whisper that everyone at the table could hear.

"Look, isn't this Xiugu and that Golden Snake beside you on the same side? The Golden Snake is eyeing you, but she wouldn't be eyeing the Great Beauty, would she?"

"Pfft, cough, cough..."

Old Xu, who was drinking soup, choked.

Jiang Changtian patted Lin Shuyun's hand and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. My dad wouldn't choose a love rival for me to be by my mother's side."

"Uh, cough, cough..."

Everyone except Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian choked.

Everyone stared at Jiang Changtian in astonishment.

Jiang Changtian took the soup from Lin Shuyun and placed it in front of Guan Suyi before slowly saying, "Xiugu, you are someone who serves my mother, so I won't say much. But if you don't respect my wife, then don't stay in my house."

Xiugu was struck dumb, and knelt on the ground, saying "Yes."

Then withdrew.

Jiang Changtian served Guan Suying some more food and, under everyone's gaze, said, "Mother, Yunyun is my wife, a very good woman."

Guan Suyi smiled as she looked at Lin Shuyun.

……

……

In the village.

Gu Nanfeng sent his subordinates out to look for people, while he was earnestly trying to persuade his three nephews, especially Gu Chen.

"You can't keep following them. What future do you have? By the time you get revenge, it'll be a long time coming. Come with your uncle, and your uncle will avenge you!"

Gu Nanfeng still wanted to leave with his sister's three children.

If we stay in this rural area, it will be ages before we ever amount to anything.

Most importantly, the late empress, the former crown prince, and the retired emperor are all here. There might be some shocking conspiracy, and he was afraid that his three children would not be safe here.

Gu Chen shook his head. "I have already promised to stay by Madam Lin's side. A gentleman cannot go back on his word."

"According to Uncle Wu, my elder brother should be in the Wuyun County area. I want to find my elder brother."

When my mother was alive, her biggest worry was my eldest brother.

“You’re right, we do need to look for one, but finding a newborn abandoned child in this vast sea of ​​people is like finding a needle in a haystack.” Gu Nanfeng certainly wanted to find one too.

But it's just too difficult.

Unless God intervenes and you happen to run into him just around the corner.

Gu Chen said, "Uncle, please take me to Madam Lin's place. I've recovered enough to work now."

Gu Nanfeng couldn't persuade his nephew otherwise, so he had no choice but to send the person back and then decide what to do next based on the situation.

As a result, I only walked a few steps after leaving the house.

Then I heard a woman pointing and cursing.

"Who doesn't know that Jiang Changtian isn't your biological son? He's an adopted child you took from someone else, and you even accepted 100 taels of silver from them! You already have 100 taels, and you still steal their vegetables!"

"You're shameless, and your daughter is shameless too! Working as a prostitute, spreading your legs to make money, and abusing Jiang Changtian—God has intervened and made you mute! You deserve it!"

The country women were arguing, using the most offensive insults imaginable. Gu Nanfeng was just about to walk around them.

Suddenly stopped.

"What did you just say? Who isn't a biological child?"

Gu Nanfeng's sudden appearance startled the woman who was cursing.

Holding the vegetables in her arms, Ms. Xu took off running.

She was truly terrified now. Ever since she was poisoned and rendered mute, Xu Shi had fallen seriously ill. If it weren't for her third son, she would have almost starved to death on the bed.

Who knew that as soon as I came out to steal some vegetables after recovering from my illness, I was blocked and scolded, like a frightened bird.

The woman spoke with some fear, "Sir, I mean Jiang Changtian is not the biological son of Jiang Shoutian and Xu Shi. This is something everyone in our village knows."

"What did the man who brought the child look like?" Gu Nanfeng suddenly thought of a possibility.

"How would we know? You'll have to ask Jiang Shoutian and Madam Xu," the woman stammered softly.

Seeing that Gu Nanfeng was standing there without saying a word, he hurriedly turned around and left.

She now suspected that Madam Xu had been rendered mute by this wealthy man from outside.

Otherwise, why would Madam Xu be so afraid of this person?

"Ah!"

Gu Nanfeng sneezed.

Gu Chen, who was standing beside him, looked up and asked, "Uncle, do you think it's possible..."

Gu Nanfeng nodded, "I think it's possible."

He had heard before that Jiang Changtian wasn't his biological son, but he hadn't even considered that possibility. What if he was?

They went straight to the Jiang family's house.

……

……

After dinner, Guan Suyi went to her room to rest.

As Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian were talking, she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh dear, my lord, you've forgotten you're supposed to go to the academy to study."

I should have gone back to the academy early this morning, but I was delayed by other things and only remembered it now that it's almost noon.

"You're only remembering about school now? You're such good students!"

Dean Bai's resentful voice rang out from outside the courtyard.

"Dean Bai, what brings you here?" Jiang Changtian hurriedly went out to greet him.

"Why did I come? If I hadn't come, would you have refused to come back to the academy?" Dean Bai said resentfully.

He highly valued Jiang Changtian, a promising talent. If it weren't for his master's influence, he would have taken him in as his last disciple long ago.

For this reason, he even asked an old friend for help to re-register his student status.

Jiang Changtian, on the other hand, didn't take the academy seriously at all. He even forgot about going to school and came directly on horseback.

Jiang Changtian was a little embarrassed. "Dean Bai, it's my fault. I've been busy at home lately and forgot."

It's quite embarrassing when a student forgets to go to school.

"You can forget what you read? You're just relying on your intelligence. So many people have studied until their hair turned white and they're still just scholars." Dean Bai was just saying it casually, but when he heard that he had really forgotten, he was furious.

"I've come to tell you some good news!"

"Jiang Changtian, I have good news to tell you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Nanfeng rushed in.
