Chapter 44 Adopting a Daughter
The little girl's forehead was slightly flushed, and her cheeks were rosy, like a ripe apple. At this moment, for this poor child, it was a life-or-death situation. Ye Qingchen was frantic with worry, completely disregarding Gu Changfeng, who was still in a daze beside her. Without hesitation, she tightly embraced the child, gently saying, "Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy's here, and Daddy's here too. Come on, baby, let's talk to Mommy, okay?" Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, bringing warmth and reassurance.
Seeing this, Gu Changfeng, who was standing to the side, quickly came to his senses and echoed, "Yes, yes, Bao'er, Daddy's here too! Daddy has a really fun little toy to give to my precious daughter, what do you think?" After saying that, he began frantically searching his body, but after circling around several times, he still couldn't find anything to amuse the child. Just then, Ye Qingchen shook her head helplessly. With a thought, she gently waved her jade hand and took out an exquisite necklace from her mysterious space, casually tossing it to Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng, oblivious to the unusual situation, didn't even hesitate. After taking the jade pendant, he immediately bent down, waving it in front of the child's eyes in one hand to try and attract her attention; with the other hand, he quickly picked up the silver needles and carefully began to administer acupuncture to the child. A tense yet warm atmosphere filled the room.
However, Ye Qingchen had no time to think about anything else at this moment. She was completely absorbed in watching her child with deep concern, focusing solely on how to help him recover as quickly as possible. She had so much so that she had completely forgotten the terrible ordeal she had just experienced yesterday—being mercilessly thrown out of the spatial dimension, and possibly never being able to enter that magical space again. But in this critical moment, out of instinct, she still subconsciously took out items from her spatial dimension to help her child.
Just then, Gu Changfeng, anxious and worried, rushed out the door, calling out Han Zhi's name loudly, asking if the ginger and egg soup was ready. At the same time, Ye Qingchen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, realizing that her mysterious space was still usable! Without hesitation, she immediately took out a bottle of clear, transparent space spring water that emitted a faint spiritual aura.
Ye Qingchen carefully brought the bottle to the child's lips, letting her sip the precious spring water. A miracle occurred: after drinking a few mouthfuls, the child's pale face gradually regained color, and her spirits improved considerably. She then quickly rummaged through her bag and found a bottle of modern-day ibuprofen (such as Tylenol) for reducing fever.
Ye Qingchen gently picked up the child and slowly poured the medicine into the child's mouth, coaxing softly, "Baby, drink this, and you'll get better soon." After the child took the medicine, and with the acupuncture given to her by Gu Changfeng earlier, the child finally recovered.
Her body temperature gradually decreased, and her eyes, which had been dull due to the high fever, regained their bright light, and her lips, which had been bloodless, regained a faint blush.
After a while, the child slowly realized what was happening. When she opened her eyes and looked closely at the person holding her, she saw that it was a very beautiful aunt. Although others couldn't tell that Ye Qingchen was actually a woman, and Ye Qingchen was already pretending to be ugly, she was still very beautiful. Ye Qingchen had been patiently coaxing her with a gentle and sweet voice, so the clever little girl knew in her heart that the person holding her was a kind and gentle aunt.
However, a sense of doubt and confusion welled up in the child's heart. She had vaguely heard Ye Qingchen call her "Daddy" earlier, but now, fully awake, she realized that the man wasn't her real father. Recalling yesterday, the child's young heart was filled with pain. She clearly remembered that her biological parents had been brutally murdered by evil people. The situation was extremely dangerous; it was her mother who had desperately hidden her in a tattered basket, allowing her to escape death. The poor child still didn't understand what kind of villain had so cruelly killed her beloved parents.
Gu Changfeng came in and saw that the child was much better. He fed the little girl spoonfuls of ginger and egg drop soup. At that moment, Zhao Fei returned with the medicine, and Gu Changfeng fed it to his younger daughter as well. The four of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the little girl was much better.
The little girl said, "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Uncles, I feel much better." Then Gu Changfeng asked, "So, Little Yue'er, where are your parents?" Little Yue'er's tears quickly fell as she said, "I don't know who killed them. My mother put me under the basket, that's why I didn't die." Gu Changfeng was extremely saddened. He couldn't let Han Zhi and Zhao Fei investigate Little Yue'er's situation, so he alerted the people of Jincheng and ordered them to investigate. When the people of Jincheng learned that their master had been there for many days, their leader rushed over.
Gu Changfeng had just learned that the mother of the child named Xiaoyue was quite beautiful. The local brothel madam, captivated by her beauty, insisted on abducting her to force her into prostitution. However, the couple resisted fiercely, refusing to submit, and were tragically murdered. Fortunately, Xiaoyue was hiding under a basket at the time and narrowly escaped death.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng was furious, trembling with rage. Ye Qingchen, standing beside him, was equally indignant. The two made a silent decision—they must avenge Xiaoyue'er's blood feud! So, they immediately ordered their men to take the life of the despicable madam as night fell and set fire to her brothel. After everything was arranged, the two exchanged a glance, reaching a consensus, and resolved to take Xiaoyue'er with them from then on.
Just then, Han Zhi and Zhao Fei, who had been following closely, finally realized that Ye Qingchen was their master. Ye Qingchen then knelt down and gently stroked Xiao Yue'er's head, saying, "From now on, you can't call me 'Auntie' anymore. You have to call me 'Uncle,' understand?" Xiao Yue'er nodded obediently, indicating that she understood. Han Zhi and Zhao Fei, seeing this, nodded knowingly, secretly admiring their master's kindness. They resolved to follow their masters closely from now on.
Gu Changfeng and Ye Qingchen also felt that the child was very pitiful and had such a strong connection with them, so they decided to adopt her as their daughter. On the one hand, the child would have a place to settle down, and on the other hand, they could use the excuse of adopting a child to make the Empress and the princes think that their health was very poor.
