Chapter 237
Upon learning that Chen Muxue had actually allowed Changgui to read all of Qian Ding Sect’s secret techniques on alchemy, Huo Lian’s gaze toward Changgui immediately changed.
"Yes, it’s a kind of fruit. Later, I’ll have Qixi buy some of each fruit to let you have a good taste."
Huo Lian’s attitude towards Changgui was now very kind.
"All of them?" Changgui’s eyes were sparkling. "Uncle Huo Lian really is rich!"
Although the Qian Ding Sect could now afford fruit, Changgui still vaguely remembered the days before when they couldn’t even eat enough food. He recalled once the Sect Leader carried grain to sell and brought back a large watermelon, making everyone very happy.
In fact, such days were not far in the past, and for someone Changgui’s age, they took up most of his life. To him, these current days of good food and drink and traveling in luxurious carriages felt like a dream.
It felt like waking up would return him to the past in an instant.
Changgui looked at the crowd outside the window, the light in his eyes flickering.
Huo Lian, always a businessman with sharp eyes, looked at Changgui and had already made some calculations in his heart.
Meanwhile, in the Capital City, in the servant’s quarters of the declining Yin Family, a granny was stifling her sobs as she covered her face and cried.
How could Miss Xiaohua still be in the Capital City? And how could she be on the Huo Family’s carriage?
Thinking of some terrifying possibilities, she couldn’t stop crying.
When Madam left, she entrusted Miss Xiaohua to her, but her seemingly foolproof plan fell apart because of human nature.
Madam, as the eldest Miss of the Shui Family, the largest clan in Miaojiang, married into the Yin Family. The Yin Family benefitted from the Shui Family’s support, coming to the Capital City years ago thanks to the Shui Family’s assistance to help the Emperor ascend the throne.
The Shui Family was reluctant to leave Miaojiang. Madam, pregnant and alone, followed the Yin Family to the Capital City, unaware that the heartless man would use some means to kill the Love Gu but remain unharmed himself.
The Love Gu does not distinguish between the mother and child Gu; it is one of the few pairs of Gu Worms that share equal status and symbiotic existence. When one person dies, the other would also die suddenly.
But the man somehow removed the Gu Worm, yet remained safe, and Madam did not die suddenly but gradually lost her vitality.
During this agonizing process, she gradually lost all strength, even unable to get up to use the toilet, and people who once respected or loved her gradually showed disdain. Those who harbored malice were secretly delighted... it was better to die suddenly!
Fortunately, Madam sensed something the moment the opposing Love Gu died...
They arranged for so much, but never anticipated that the personal maid accompanying Madam when she got married, who even now bears the "Shui" surname, would betray Madam and become that man’s concubine.
And after Miss Xiaohua was sent out of the mansion, the person arranging her future was now Concubine Shui.
She had considered countless outcomes, yet always had nightmares of Miss Xiaohua already dead. Now, seeing Miss Xiaohua’s face once more, she was filled with mixed emotions, struggling not to lose her composure outside.
Even so, she couldn’t help but wonder, is that her Miss Xiaohua? Could she be mistaken? Perhaps it’s someone who just looks alike?
Madam hadn’t even had time to give Miss Xiaohua a formal name!
Does Miss Xiaohua still remember Madam now?
