Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2558: Chapter 2559: Return to Tianyun (125)

Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi came uninvited, and upon seeing Su Xing, Ye Zhi immediately smiled and said, ”Xin Girl, do you still recognize us?”

”Grandpa Gong, Grandma Gong!” Su Xing was initially delighted, then quickly corrected herself, ”I should address you as Uncle Gong and Aunt Ye from now on. My mother has told me to call you that.”

Both Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi exchanged meaningful looks with An Jing before Ye Zhi smiled at Su Xing and said, ”Since you’re now her adopted daughter, it’s only natural to call me that.”

Once Feng Feiyan and the others had left and only An Jing, Su Changyi, Gong Juechen, Ye Zhi, and Su Xing were left in the room, Ye Zhi straightforwardly asked, ”Boss, just tell me honestly, is this the little daughter you had in the modern times?”

Su Xing was shocked and turned pale.

An Jing quickly calmed Su Xing, smiling as she said, ”Don’t worry, your Aunt Ye also came from there, and they’re all tight-lipped, they won’t spread it around.”

Only then did Su Xing let out a big sigh of relief.

An Jing then smiled at Ye Zhi and Gong Juechen, ”You knew I had a little daughter also named Xin’er, so it’s natural that you could guess once you saw I suddenly adopted a daughter. I won’t hide it from you, my little daughter did indeed come over too. She didn’t just die like that, now seeing her alive and well, my heart feels much more at ease.”

Subsequently, An Jing smiled at Su Xing again, ”Xin’er, Aunt Ye and Uncle Gong know, but your brothers don’t know that your Aunt Ye also came from there. Since none of them know, don’t accidentally mention it.”

”Uh-huh.” Su Xing quickly nodded.

An Jing continued, ”As for your sisters-in-law, it’s better to keep it hidden. Too many people knowing isn’t good either.”

”Uh-huh.” Su Xing agreed with this point as well.

Su Changyi, Ye Zhi, and Gong Juechen all agreed without any disagreement.

”Uncle Gong, my mother has already told me about my husband being poisoned. You really have no way to deal with it, do you?” Su Xing turned her head to ask Gong Juechen.

Gong Juechen grinned cheekily, ”Given you’re Jingjing’s daughter, if your husband is willing to be my test subject, I could try experimenting further to treat him.”

Ye Zhi immediately gave him a sidelong glance, ”You old man should just take a break, and let Star handle it, Star’s medical skills are better than yours. Maybe Star can cure him in one go, sparing Xin’er’s husband from suffering under you.”

Gong Juechen wasn’t annoyed and, still smiling, shrugged his shoulders at Su Xing with a casual demeanor, ”You should find your second brother then. If he can’t do it either, let me have a go. I don’t mind.”

Su Xing felt amused, touched, and a bit angry. Your willingness to help my husband is really touching, but treating my husband like your test subject, to be honest, is infuriating too.

An Jing laughed and said, ”Your Uncle Gong is just like that, you’ll get used to it.”

Su Xing could only awkwardly reply, ”Uh-huh.”

...

On the other side, at the Tao Mansion.

Taoming Ye was very worried about Su Xing entering the Royal Palace today because the King hadn’t explained why he had summoned Su Xing.

Tao Chengyin was even more worried, afraid that one misstep, one wrong word from Su Xing, might bring trouble to the Tao Mansion.

At the moment, Taoming Ye, Tao Chengyin, Mrs. Cao, Taoming Hai, Wan Banyan, Tao Mingsheng, Tao Mingxiang, Tao Mingqing, Tao Mingfang, and the three concubines, were all in the main hall.

Tao Mingsheng and the others were quite worried about Su Xing as well.

However, Mrs. Cao, Taoming Hai, and Wan Banyan weren’t worried about Su Xing, they were just putting on a show since everyone else was there.
