Upon seeing Gu Qingluan, Feng Yuanxi’s expression quickly melted, revealing a big smile. “Mother!”
Immediately realizing what she said, he hurriedly hid Xiao Hei behind his back.
Gu Qingluan took three quick steps and stood in front of him. “Where did you go? Are you hurt?’
Feng Yuanxi blinked his big round eyes and shook his head. “No, no, I’m fine!’
Gu Qingluan clearly smelled the scent of blood and furrowed her brows as she examined him. She noticed his hand behind his back and asked, “Is your finger injured? Let me see.”
Feng Yuanxi obediently brought both hands forward. “I really didn’t get hurt.
Look, I’ll show you.”
Two small, fair hands were extended before Gu Qingluan.
She held his hands and inspected them closely, both front and back, and indeed there were no wounds.
“I encountered an injured little creature earlier and brought it back for treatment. What you smelled was its blood, Mother , ” Feng Yuanxi said softly and tenderly.
Gu Qingluan glanced at the gauze and other items on the table that hadn’t been put away yet. “Where is the little creature?”
“It just left!”
Gu Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief. ‘That’s good. Look at you, all dirty. Let’s wash up, my little kitten.’
‘Yes, yes!’ Feng Yuanxi obediently nodded.
Gu Qingluan fetched water and washed her son’s face and hands, then changed him into clean clothes.
Feng Yuanxi’s cheeks took on a rosy hue.
‘Why are your cheeks so red?”
With a gleam in his eyes, Feng Yuanxi exclaimed, “Mother is truly wonderful!’
Not only did she wash his face and hands, but she also changed his clothes.
Although he felt a bit shy with his little body exposed, he couldn’t bring himself to stop her.
Gu Qingluan chuckled. “Why are your words so sweet?”
“I speak from the depths of my heart. Having a mother like you is truly amazing.”
As he spoke, his voice grew softer.
If only Mother could be his mother for the rest of his life, how wonderful that would be!
Gu Qingluan responded, ‘Xiao Nan is also amazing. The greatest joy of my life is having you as my son.”
Feng Yuanxi’s nose tingled with a hint of sadness.
But he wasn’t Xiaonan.
If Mother were to discover his true identity, would she still show him such tenderness?
“Mother, if… if l…”
“Hmm?”
Knock, knock, knock!
The sudden knocking interrupted Feng Yuanxi, deflating his courage.
‘What’s the matter?’ Gu Qingluan got up to open the door and saw Su Lie standing outside.
Su Lie said, “Master, something has happened to the Gu family.”
Inside the room, Feng Yuanxi’s eyes flickered.
Raising an eyebrow, Gu Qingluan asked, “What happened to the Gu family?” Su Lie briefly explained the situation.
Numerous snakes, insects, mice, and ants inexplicably appeared around the Gu Manor, causing severe injuries to Wang Shi and affecting many members of the Gu family.
Gu Qingluan smiled. “That’s good news!”
It was satisfying to witness retribution against the wicked!
Su Lie’s face also displayed a smile. “Indeed, that’s why I came to inform you, Master, to bring you joy. I heard that Gu Zhicheng went to visit Mr. Liu in the second branch of the Gu family and was ridiculed by their people.”
“The Gu family has always been selfish and opportunistic. In the past, the first branch held power, and the second branch bowed and flattered them. Now that the people from the second branch believe they have found a new ally, they immediately turn their backs on others. They are all the same.” Gu Qingluan showed no surprise at this revelation.
“Master, should we fan the flames?”
“Then let’s add something to Wang Shi’s troubles. ‘
A cold glimmer flashed in Gu Qingluan’s eyes.
After all the wicked deeds Wang Shi had committed, it was about time for her to taste the bitter fruits of her actions.
