“If she didn’t have this ability, she wouldn’t have been able to maneuver between two men for so long. But once Yin Fan and the others find out who Lu Lingfeng’s true savior is, things will get interesting,” Su Yu looked forward to this moment.
“Is Lu Lingfeng also clueless about who his savior is?”
“That’s quite normal.”
“After such a long journey, you should rest first. I’ll come to update you on the recent situation in the capital in a couple of days.”
“Okay.”
However, the next day, Su Yu took Chang Le and the others to the palace.
Upon learning of Su Yu’s return, Xuan Feiran and the others had been waiting for them to enter the palace.
Upon hearing that they had entered the palace, Xuan Feiran stopped handling official documents.
When Su Yu brought the children to the study, he felt a sense of relief as he looked at the two obviously taller children.
“Father,” Chang Le and Hong Yi ran over to hug Xuan Feiran gleefully.
Xuan Feiran lifted each child with one arm. “Missed Father?”
“Very much.”
“Xiao Yu, thank you for your trouble.”
“Don’t mention it. I’ll leave for now and come back to discuss the situation in Ling and Qi Empire in a couple of days.”
“Okay.”
“Uncle, I want to go home too.” Hong Yi, upon hearing that Su Yu was leaving, also wanted to go back with him.
Su Yu ruffled his head and said, “This is your home. After not seeing your father and mother for so long, don’t you miss them?”
“I do, but I want to sleep with my brother.”
Su Yu looked at Hong Yi helplessly. This child always needed to sleep with Xiao Bao to fall asleep quickly.
“I’ll take them to the palace tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Gu Xiruo quickly learned about Wang Jinhe and Su Yu’s return to the capital.
Upon hearing this news, she felt worried. Gu Yanqi’s words from before had made her anxious. Now Wang Jinhe’s position in Xuan Country was getting higher and higher. If the Gu family members were to find out the truth, they would definitely take action according to their character. After all, the Gu family would definitely seize any opportunity for a comeback.
After learning about Wang Jinhe’s achievement of nearly two thousand catties of rice per mu, she thought these people were crazy. How could there be such a high yield? However, with the successive completion of the autumn harvest in the capital, she had to admit that Wang Jinhe could really achieve such a feat, even if she didn’t want to. Seventy thousand catties of grain was not something to be taken lightly, and Wang Jinhe wouldn’t dare to make false claims in this regard.
As Gu Xiruo pondered how to prevent Gu Yanqi from seeking out Wang Jinhe and keep the Gu family from learning about Wang Jinhe’s identity, Lu Lingfeng walked in from outside.
“Why are you here?” Since getting to know Lou Manqing, her attitude towards Lu Lingfeng had become much more indifferent.
Anyone with a brain would know who to choose between an ordinary person and the young master of the Number One Building.
“I have something to ask you.” Lu Lingfeng’s gaze at Gu Xiruo lacked the affection of the past, instead carrying a coldness and restrained anger.
“What is it?”
“When you saved me back then, I gave you a jade pendant. I need to use that jade pendant now. Can you give it to me?” Lu Lingfeng explained perfunctorily.
Gu Xiruo’s expression stiffened slightly. “Why do you suddenly need it?”
“Because of family matters,” Lu Lingfeng explained.
It would be best if it wasn’t what he had found out.
“Lingfeng, I’ve put away that jade pendant. I don’t know where I’ve kept it all these years. Can I give it to you once I find it?” Gu Xiruo looked at Lu Lingfeng with great tenderness.
Lu Lingfeng didn’t speak, but looked at Gu Xiruo without blinking.
Gu Xiruo felt a little uneasy under Lu Lingfeng’s gaze.
Gu Xiruo felt a little uneasy under Lu Lingfeng’s gaze.
Having spent such a long time with Gu Xiruo, Lu Lingfeng thought he understood her well, but today’s Gu Xiruo seemed full of loopholes. Not only that, she seemed guilty.
His hands tightened its grip. If he had truly been deceived by Gu Xiruo, he would make her pay the price.
Back at his residence, Lu Lingfeng summoned his men. “Leave and investigate the events from seven years ago.”
“Yes.”
Yin Fan, aware of Lu Lingfeng’s investigation into the events from seven years ago, kindly provided the information and evidence to Lu Lingfeng’s men.
Leaning on the railing, Song Chen watched Yin Fan giving orders. “What a fool, spinning around like a top after being deceived.”
“At least he’s Qi Ming’s son. Don’t be so harsh.”
Yin Fan gave them a disdainful look and said, “Do you have the nerve to say that?”
“What do I have to be ashamed of? It has been a bit complicated in the capital recently. Keep an eye on him,” Song Chen said.
Yin Fan looked at Song Chen disapprovingly. “Isn’t this your business? Why are you making me do it?”
“Who’s the youngest? You should listen to your big brother, you know?” Song Chen retorted.
Yin Fan became even more upset. “You’re only a few days older than me. How dare you try to enslave me because of our age difference?”
“Even if it’s just one day, we’re still older than you. Don’t resist in vain, you won’t succeed,” Song Chen said.
“Don’t bully Yin Fan,” Su Yu interjected upon hearing their conversation.
Yin Fan nodded repeatedly. “Brother Yu is the best.”
“By the way, Brother Yu, the conflict between Lu Lingfeng and Gu Xiruo is about to escalate. The day when they become enemies is not far off.” Once Lu Lingfeng learns the truth, such a character might become furious and cause trouble for Gu Xiruo.
“Very well, it’s better to resolve it early, especially before the new year.”
After several days of investigation, the results finally reached Lu Lingfeng.
When he saw that Gu Xiruo was not his savior, Lu Lingfeng’s eyes turned red. How could Gu Xiruo dare to deceive him?
The thought of everything he had done to Gu Xiruo made him feel disgusted. Gu Xiruo was unforgivable.
At this point, Gu Xiruo still had no idea that Lu Lingfeng knew everything.
On that day, Lu Lingfeng found Gu Xiruo and asked, “Xiruo, have you found the jade pendant?”
