Zhan Xiaoli was startled when his father said he was going with him. "Father?"
"Let's go," Zhan Tianye said in a deep voice.
He didn't give Zhan Xiaoli any chance to react.
Until they got into the carriage, Zhan Xiaoli was still bewildered.
Why would Father go with him to see Mother?
Could it be that he was going to find trouble with Mother?
Finally, Zhan Xiaoli couldn't hold back and said to Zhan Tianye, "Father, tell me the truth."
Zhan Tianye looked at his son, Zhan Xiaoli, staring at him with all his defenses up. His stern eyebrows twitched. "The truth?"
Zhan Xiaoli, wise beyond his years, nodded vigorously. "Yes! Father, are you going to cause trouble for Aunt Yun Shu?"
This question.
It revealed Zhan Xiaoli's dissatisfaction.
It also made Zhan Tianye realize that Zhan Xiaoli genuinely liked Yun Shu.
His dark eyes grew deeper.
At this moment, no one could guess what he was thinking.
"Father!" Zhan Xiaoli was a little angry.
Mother is so good, why doesn't Father like her?
His starry eyes flickered, and he made up his mind to make Father like Mother! "Father, Aunt Yun Shu has many, many good points! You don't believe me, observe her more! Butler Grandpa told me not to judge people based on preconceived notions, Father has already judged Aunt Yun Shu with preconceived notions!"
"Preconceived notions?" A sharpness flashed in Zhan Tianye's eyes.
He had indeed been prejudiced.
If it weren't for slowly uncovering her true face recently, he wouldn't have known she was hiding so much!
"Yes!" Zhan Xiaoli nodded forcefully.
Looking at Zhan Xiaoli's serious little face, Zhan Tianye smiled very faintly. "Father promises you, he will get to know her properly again."
"Really?" Zhan Xiaoli was a little surprised. He hadn't expected the conversation to go so smoothly!
"Mhm."
Seeing Zhan Tianye nod, Zhan Xiaoli felt for the first time that his father wasn't blind and had finally discovered Mother's good qualities!
When they met Mother, he would speak more good words about Father in front of her.
Because, he found that Mother didn't like Father either.
For a moment, Zhan Xiaoli was a little worried.
The road ahead was long and arduous.
It was a pity that no one could help him.
He suddenly thought of Yun Xiaojing. If Yun Xiaojing were his own brother, they could brainstorm together.
Outside the carriage.
Qiu Lu, who was driving the carriage, heard the conversation between the master and the young master inside.
He was even more surprised.
Coupled with his surprise when he learned that the Prince was going to accompany the young lord to the General's mansion, he now felt his brain wasn't working well.
Why had the Prince changed so quickly?
He clearly remembered that not long ago, the Prince still disliked Miss Yun Er and wished she would disappear as far as possible.
He had even told Miss Yun Er not to appear before him.
The memory was still fresh.
Now he was going to the Great General's mansion proactively!
This, this, this!
Based on his years of following the Prince,
He felt that the Prince might have developed some feelings for Miss Yun Er.
Was it possible that he had broken off the engagement with Miss Li in order to marry Miss Yun Er?
Qiu Lu felt as if he had uncovered some profound secret.
...
At the same time, in the Great General's mansion.
Yun Shu received an anonymous letter with the pseudonym "Fake" as the sender.
Seeing the word "Fake," she guessed who it was.
Following the address on the anonymous letter, Yun Shu arrived at a secluded small house.
The small house looked unremarkable.
It was surrounded by similar houses.
After confirming the address, Yun Shu knocked on the door a few times.
A moment later, Lu Hao sneakily opened the door.
As he opened the door, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and cautiously looked around.
"Put your heart at ease," Yun Shu rolled her eyes at him.
If she, who had practiced martial arts for years, couldn't meet someone without being followed, then all her training was in vain.
Lu Hao then reacted and chuckled twice. "It's a habit, it's a habit. I always think someone is following me."
Especially since he had been impersonating her to roam the martial world, there were too many people who wanted him to cure them!
He thought he had found a Regent as a backer, but before he could rely on him, he had to dig up this mountain himself!
A handful of bitter tears.
After carefully closing the door,
Lu Hao followed Yun Shu with a grin.
He completely forgot that this was his territory.
Yun Shu looked him up and down.
This house was probably not just any empty house Lu Hao had found.
It was cleaned very thoroughly.
It was obvious that someone lived here regularly.
"Speak, what is it?" Yun Shu withdrew her gaze and looked at Lu Hao.
Lu Hao's aura today was a little different from before.
Seeing him again this time, Lu Hao clearly showed her more respect.
Hmm.
He knew how to judge the situation.
"I treated the Regent's wound yesterday, and the medicinal ointment on the wound was the one you gave me," Lu Hao said quickly.
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow. "Is that all?"
What was the point of saying this?
Lu Hao suddenly felt that being servile to the woman in front of him, a simple, childish servile, was not enough.
He showed all six of his teeth in a standard smile. "Of course not. After I finished treating the Regent's wound, I saw the Regent's adopted son, Gu Xiaofeng, when I came out."
Yun Shu straightened her expression.
Seeing that Yun Shu was finally looking at him properly, Lu Hao continued, "Then I went to chat with him for a few words. Guess what?"
Yun Shu narrowed her eyes at him.
Lu Hao touched his nose and dared not continue to play coy. "I asked him if your father's surname was Gu. He said no, it was given by his adoptive mother. He had never met his parents. He said his adoptive mother told him that he must be a child abandoned by his biological parents. When his adoptive mother saved him, he was almost eaten by wolves, and he wasn't even wearing any clothes. So, he must be a child abandoned by his biological parents!"
"I felt so heartbroken. I quickly comforted him, saying that some things cannot be taken at face value. You must find evidence yourself. Otherwise, what you think and what others say doesn't count. Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs. Perhaps your parents encountered something they couldn't escape from when they gave birth to you, or couldn't take you to a dangerous place. Poor child, it seems no one has ever said these words to him all these years. I..."
As Lu Hao spoke, he felt something was wrong.
Yun Shu's gaze seemed to become extremely terrifying, so sharp.
It was like a sharp knife.
"Then what did he say?" she asked.
Lu Hao was a little scared by Yun Shu. He swallowed and continued, "He didn't say anything, but there seemed to be a spark of light in his eyes."
Yun Shu pursed her lips.
She was now completely certain that Gu Xiaofeng must be her son!
The child who was thrown away as stillborn by Yun Yueyin and then rescued!
In a few years, growing up in front of Yun Yueyin, one could imagine how he would be treated!
Lu Hao was a little scared and swallowed again. Why did he feel like she was about to kill someone?
"That, that, this is the silver I scammed from Yun Yueyin yesterday, tens of thousands of taels, all for you."
