Of course, this is from the perspective of the outside world, as it wouldn’t be difficult for Gu Qingluan to enter.
Because the auction was held at the Lushi Auction House, a subsidiary of the Lushi Chamber of Commerce, it wouldn’t be difficult for Gu Qingluan to request a few invitation cards due to her gratitude towards Lu Banian.
In addition to various items provided by the Lu Chamber of Commerce, the highlight of this auction was the medicine produced by the Island of No Return.
Naturally, Gu Qingluan wasn’t interested in the medicine from the Island of No Return but rather she anticipated the extravagant spending by the Gu family on the medicine.
On the day of the auction, Gu Qingluan and her son left directly, heading out of the house.
However, just as they reached the doorstep, they came face to face with someone they had no desire to encounter.
Gu Qingluan held her son’s hand and walked past, avoiding them.
“Gu Qingluan!” the person called out to her.
Gu Qingluan acted as if she didn’t hear.
“Gu Qingluan, if you leave like this, do you believe that everyone in Tianjing will soon know about your son has poisoned his grandmother?”
Gu Qingluan turned around abruptly, her beautiful and sharp eyes piercing through Gu Sier.
Gu Si’er was startled and took two steps back.
After realizing what had happened, Gu Si’er’s face turned extremely dark. “Why are you staring at me like that? I’m only stating the facts!”
Gu Qingluan lowered her head to look at her son.
Feng Yuanxi guiltily lowered his head.
So, the truth about Xiao Nan being her son was already exposed?
Gu Qingluan didn’t know how the Gu family had found out, but now wasn’t the time to investigate.
She coldly said, “Gu Si’er, if you say another word, do you believe I will make you lose your face?”
Gu Sier covered her face in shock.
She didn’t want to experience the pain of disfigurement a second time and felt the impulse to run away.
However, she couldn’t return empty-handed.
Her father had instructed her to find Gu Qingluan and obtain the antidote. If she couldn’t obtain it, her father would surely be very angry.
Suppressing her fear, Gu Sier trembled as she spoke, “I didn’t make it up. Your son poisoned my mother, causing her to fall into a coma. My father said that if you don’t want things to escalate, you must hand over the antidote!”
“What a ridiculous accusation! What does your mother’s poisoning have to do with my son? Go back and tell Gu Zhicheng that if he has the guts, he can spread rumors all he wants. Let him rest assured
that if I hear even a hint of negativity, 1 will also send him a generous gift!”
With that, Gu Qingluan no longer paid any attention to Gu S’ier and boarded the carriage with her son.
Gu Si’er shouted a few more times from behind, but Gu Qingluan didn’t even turn her head.
“Gu Qingluan, don’t get too cocky! If the Grand Madam dies, I’ll bring Gu Lingxue back, and we’ll see how you handle the consequences!” Gu Si’er gritted her teeth, filled with resentment.
Inside the carriage, Gu Qingluan crossed her arms and glared at her son.
“What happened? Tell me.”
Feng Yuanxi lowered his head and recounted the events of that day to Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan was taken aback. She hadn’t expected that while she was trapped in the Stellar Space, her son had almost been captured by Wang Shi.
Thanks to her son’s intelligence and sharpness, otherwise… Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
She felt a wave of lingering fear.
“Mother, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to expose our secret.”
Looking at the weary little figure, Gu Qingluan couldn’t bear to be angry anymore.
She pulled him into her embrace. “I’m not angry anymore. With such a big incident, why didn’t you tell me?”
So, the bloody smell she had sensed that day wasn’t from an injured animal?
“I was afraid you would be angry and worried, Mother.” Feng Yuanxi looked up at her with a puzzled expression. “Mother, you’re really not angry with me anymore?”
Gu Qingluan tapped his nose gently. “I’ll let it go this time, but you mustn’t hide things from me in the future.”
Feng Yuanxi nuzzled against her. “Yes, there won’t be a next time.”
Suddenly, he thought of a question.. “Mother, now that the Gu family knows I’m your son, do 1 still need to pretend to be your disciple?”
