Chapter 397 Where is Cloud Mist Island

Leng Ruo Li walked to the side of those large chests and took out a long feather duster from her system space to pat away the dust on top of the chests.

Then, she casually opened one large chest after another in front of her. Jun Mo Han was stunned when he saw the contents inside. These chests were filled with all sorts of small toys, such as rattles, tangrams, spinning tops, bamboo helicopters, kites, and small clay figures, as well as wooden carvings shaped into various small animals, and other small toys whose names she couldn't recall.

“Li'er, why are there so many small toys in this basement?” Jun Mo Han asked casually.

“These small toys were prepared by the original owner's parents for her before she was even born,” Leng Ruo Li said enviously. “However, the original owner never played with them when she was a child. Moreover, those small toys that her father sent back from the border for the original owner were all confiscated by Leng Ruo Shuang. After Leng Ruo Shuang grew tired of them, she had the servants destroy them. The original owner never saw anything that Leng Jin Yu sent back.”

“Alas… I’ve heard a little about these matters. What a pity for that girl,” Jun Mo Han sighed after hearing Leng Ruo Li’s words.

“Yes! Actually, before this, this basement also housed a room full of gold, silver, jewelry, and ornaments left by the original owner’s mother. However, when I got married, Father gave all the gold, silver, and jewelry in this basement to your Leng Manor as part of my dowry. Now, all those gold, silver, and jewelry are stored in my personal treasure vault.” Leng Ruo Li said with delight.

She, Leng Ruo Li, loved all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and ornaments the most, because having money in hand meant peace of mind.

“Hahaha…”

Just thinking about the wealth that could rival a nation hidden in her treasure vault made her want to burst into laughter.

“Li’er, you look so pleased. Guarding such a vast fortune, you must wake up laughing in your dreams at night.”

Jun Mo Han glanced at Leng Ruo Li and teased her.

“Haha, indeed. I am an invisible rich woman now. Prince Leng, if you ever fall on hard times, I’ll support you. How about it? However, given your current favor and importance in Tianwu Kingdom, I doubt I’ll ever have the chance to support you.”

Leng Ruo Li’s lips curved slightly, revealing a breathtaking smile.

“Li’er, you can support me now too. For example, you can support my stomach, support my body, or perhaps…” Jun Mo Han said with a mischievous look.

Leng Ruo Li: “……”

This guy, is his male hormones secreting too much again?

“Forget it, I can’t afford to support you.”

“Heh heh…”

Hearing this, Jun Mo Han chuckled.

Leng Ruo Li didn’t continue chatting with Jun Mo Han. She turned to carefully examine the large chests in front of her and suddenly found a cloth bag, only half exposed, pressed under the second large chest.

“Stop standing there looking pleased with yourself and hurry over to give me a hand lifting this chest,” Leng Ruo Li called out to Jun Mo Han.

“Okay!”

Immediately, Jun Mo Han walked over and moved the second large chest with Leng Ruo Li. Leng Ruo Li quickly picked up the cloth bag on the ground, patted the dust off it, and then opened the cloth fastener to take out the contents.

Leng Ruo Li didn’t expect the cloth bag to contain a folded piece of skin.

“This is a specially made piece of sheepskin parchment, generally used for drawing military maps. Therefore, I suspect this sheepskin parchment must contain a map,”

Jun Mo Han, standing by her side, said as he looked at the sheepskin parchment in Leng Ruo Li’s hand.

“I’ll open it and see,” Leng Ruo Li said.

As a result, when Leng Ruo Li unfolded the sheepskin parchment, it indeed contained a map.

Several lines of text were written in the upper left corner of the map:

Li’er, Mother is sorry for you, I cannot accompany you as you grow up. If one day you can see this map and still remember your mother, bring this map to Cloud Mist Island to find me.

“Jun Mo Han, where is Cloud Mist Island?”

“I haven’t heard of it either?”

“But this map doesn’t indicate where Cloud Mist Island is! How can I find my mother?”

Leng Ruo Li was full of confusion.

“Let’s take it out and study it further,” Jun Mo Han suggested.

“Mm-hmm, then let’s go out now. We’ve been in the basement for so long, Steward Qi must be looking for us outside,” Leng Ruo Li nodded.

A moment later, Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han emerged from the basement. As soon as they returned to the pavilion and sat down, a tall, upright, agile, and handsome figure in a light gray tight-fitting outfit stood before the Leng Manor couple. His eyes looked softly at Leng Ruo Li.

“Li’er, why didn’t you let someone notify Father in advance when you came back today? Otherwise, Father wouldn’t have gone to the military camp this morning,” Leng Jin Yu said with a slight reproach as he looked at the young couple sitting in the pavilion.

“Father, because your daughter didn’t want to delay your work, so your daughter didn’t notify you in advance before returning. Besides, your daughter is not a guest, I can come back whenever I want. You attend to your business, we don’t need any special attention,” Leng Ruo Li explained helplessly.

“Mm-hmm, that’s fine. If you want to eat anything, just tell the steward to instruct the kitchen,” Leng Jin Yu instructed Leng Ruo Li.

Hearing this, Leng Ruo Li felt a warmth in her heart.

“Father, didn’t you go to the military camp today? Why did you return so quickly?” Leng Ruo Li suddenly remembered this matter.

“Originally, Father planned to go to the military camp this morning, but on the way, I encountered a small girl who was injured and unconscious. So, I returned and sent that little girl to the medical hall for treatment. After coming out of the medical hall, I saw that it was already noon, so I planned to return to the manor for lunch before going to the military camp. But as soon as I arrived at the manor gate on horseback, I saw the Leng Manor’s carriage, so I guessed my precious daughter had returned,” Leng Jin Yu said with a hearty laugh.

“Heh heh, then my husband and I will accompany Father for lunch before returning to the manor,” Leng Ruo Li said with a beaming smile.

Subsequently, Leng Jin Yu asked the steward to bring all the dishes prepared by the main kitchen to Mingyue Courtyard for them to eat.

“Li’er, ever since Father ate the food you made, any other food made by others tastes bland to Father,” Leng Jin Yu said, picking up a piece of spare rib with his chopsticks and placing it in Leng Ruo Li’s bowl.

“Uh…”

“Father, if you want to eat Li’er’s cooking, you can come to Leng Manor some other day when you have time, and your daughter will cook for you,” Leng Ruo Li said with a chuckle.

“Alright, then Father won’t be polite. Don’t be annoyed by Father’s presence then, Husband, am I right?” Leng Jin Yu deliberately looked at Jun Mo Han.

Jun Mo Han: “……”

Although he, Jun Mo Han, really disliked his father-in-law sharing the delicious food made by Li’er with him, he dared not openly refuse his father-in-law.
