Chapter 202 - 202: Your Highness, We Found a Clue!
Yes, Uncle Jing Feng has good judgment. Feng Yuanxi decided to treat him better in the future.
Feng Yuanxi’s lips curled into a smile, grinning so wide that his eyes appear to disappear.
He also took the Hundred Poison Pill, holding the wooden box tightly as if it were a precious treasure.
He would definitely treasure Beautiful Sister’s intentions.
Before leaving, he raised his head to look at Feng Tianlan, and proudly said, “Royal Father, 1 wasn’t wrong, right? Beautiful Sister is a really good person. She willingly gave me such precious pills and even promised me that when I go to the Qiankun Academy, she’ll give me many more pills!”
Feng Tianlan remained silent, his face devoid of expression. However, tumultuous waves silently surged within him.
The next day, Gu Qingluan and Xiaonan bid farewell at the city gates.
After they left, she led a group of guards to the Gu residence—to reclaim what was rightfully hers as a dowry!
Outside the city, a luxurious moonlight-colored carriage traveled along the spacious and smooth official road.
A figure dressed in black appeared beside the carriage, speaking softly, “Your Highness, we’ve found a lead!”
Inside the carriage, Feng Tianlan recognized the speaker as Jing Yu. His expression abruptly chilled, and he glanced sideways at his son, who was sitting with a downcast demeanor. He muttered quietly, “Bring it in.”
The curtain was lifted, and an unremarkable figure dressed in black entered, presenting a sealed letter to him.
Feng Tianlan opened the envelope.
Feng Yuanxi raised his head, curious about the letter in his hands.
Feng Tianlan was tall, and he couldn’t see the contents of the letter.
He only saw Feng Tianlan’s expression growing colder after reading the letter.
His deep voice resonated within the carriage—
“Return to Tianjing City!”
The carriage driver outside acknowledged and circled halfway before retracing their steps.
Feng Yuanxi couldn’t believe what he had heard. “Royal Father, we are not leaving?”
Feng Tianlan gazed at him with a complicated expression. “Not for the time being.”
This was fantastic!
Feng Yuanxi cheered.
Not long after the carriage left the city, it returned to the city gates after about half an hour.
They didn’t return to the palace. They had previously represented the Holy Heaven Dynasty in their visit to the Chengyuan Kingdom and received hospitality from the Chengyuan royal family.
Feng Tianlan had assets in the Chengyuan Kingdom.
Five years ago, while searching for information about Yuanxi’s mother, he had procured two mansions in Tianjing City.
After leaving his son at one of the residences, Feng Tianlan instructed Jing Feng to take care of his son and left with Jing Yu.
“Where is she?”
Without Yuanxi around, Feng Tianlan didn’t bother concealing his presence anymore.
In an instant, a suffocating pressure emanated from him.
Jing Yu’s breath hitched, and he lowered his gaze respectfully. “She’s at the mansion on the western side of the city.”
Feng Tianlan didn’t say anything more, he disappeared directly.
Jing Yu quickly followed.
Outside the gates of the Gu residence.
Gu Qingluan was atop a black steed, dressed in an elegant and flowing white gown.
With a slight tap of her foot, she stood out conspicuously.
Gazing at the closed gates before her, she smiled wryly.
Was the Gu family planning to play ostrich?
Did they think that closing their doors and avoiding visitors would solve all their problems?
She lightly parted her red lips and lazily gave the command, “Charge the gates!”
Eight guards carried enormous logs and rushed toward the gates.
Bang!
A loud noise reverberated, startling the neighbors and passersby nearby, who emerged in astonishment to witness the commotion outside the Gu residence.
“What’s happening? Who dared to attack the Gu family? Are they seeking death?”
“It seems to be First Lady Gu!”
“Her again! What is she doing now? She was quite ruthless with the young master and young miss of the second branch yesterday. Is she intending to confront the main branch today?”
“Really? The family head of the Gu family is a Saint. How could they be as easily manipulated as the second branch? Is she trying to take on an impossible task?”
The crowd outside the Gu residence continued to grow..
