Chapter 548: Haha, Well Done!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yu Huarongs face showed a worried expression as she said, “My younger cousin, who is also the fourth young master of the Yu family, Yu Zinan, accompanied me on this journey. Just now, he had a minor dispute with someone outside the Lushi Auction House, and for some reason, he suddenly fell unconscious after returning. I heard that Miss Gu is acquainted with the people from the Island of No Return and is skilled in medicine. Cousin, could you please help me by having Miss Gu diagnose and treat Zinan? Zinan is the only son of the second uncle of the Yu family, and if anything happens to him, our second uncle might hold Tianjing responsible.”

“That woman is up to no good!1‘ Gu Xiao nan, who was hiding behind the door, heard Yu Huarong’s words and angrily cursed.

Yu Huarong briefly summarized the events that had taken place, downplaying the important details, and did nor say a single bad word about Gu Qingluan.

However, if Feng Tianlan agreed, there would be only two possible outcomes. One, Gu Qingluan would agree to diagnose and treat Zinan against her will, and the other was that she would refuse, possibly leaving an unfavorable impression on Feng Tianlan.

Yu Huarong had planned it all out!

Feng Tianlan had already noticed his son bidding behind the door. Upon hearing Xiaonan’s words, Feng Tianlan s eyebrows arched ever so slightly, and he spoke indifferently to Yu Huarong, “Mr. Liu from the Island of No Return has already left Tianjing, You won’t find him here. Instead of wasting time here, you should seek out a renowned doctor. If the famous doctors of Tianjing are unable to help, you can also consult the imperial physician. With the Yu family’s reputation, Emperor Xuanzong won’t refuse.”

After saying that, he walked toward the main gate.

Yu Huarong s beautiful eyes widened, and she gazed in disbelief at his resolute departing figure.

“Cousin, can’t we ask Miss Gu…”

She came to her senses and tried to catch up, but someone stopped her.

Jing Feng calmly said, “Miss Yu, please leave.11

Yu Huarong wasn’t the first to be turned away like this, but this time, it felt particularly embarrassing.

Earlier, she had proudly considered herself Feng Tianlan’s cousin and had looked down on Gu Qingluan, a woman from a small place. Who would have thought that she would be cast aside so quickly by Feng Tianlan, right outside the mansion’s gate?

Maybe Gu Qingluan was hiding inside, secretly laughing at her!

She displayed a mix of embarrassment and anger as her face flushed and paled alternately. Keeping a rigid composure, she pivoted and headed back to her own carriage.

Han Yue quickly followed.

Seeing her leave, Jing Feng let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself, “Lucidly, Miss Yu didn’t continue to pester the master.”

If it weren’t for her being the niece of Consort Shu, the master wouldn’t have wasted so much time talking to her. But if she continued to bother him, the master’s patience would have reached its limit. At that point, there would have been a bloody scene on the spot.

“Haha, well done!”

Inside the door, seeing Yu Huarong’s defeated expression, Gu Xiaonan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Where’s your mother?”

Feng Tianlan approached the little guy, who only reached his thigh.

Gu Xiaonan quickly stopped laughing and pretended to be aloof, “Mother is angry!”

Feng Tianlan frowned. “Because of Yu Huarong?”

Yu Huarong had casually described the events that happened outside the Lushi Auction House, not realizing that Feng Tianlan had already heard about what had transpired there earlier.

Gu Xiaonan pouted and said, “Do you even need to ask when you already knew?”

Feng Tianlan replied, “These are for both of you.”

With that, he seemingly conjured two strings of Tanghulu (sugar-coated fruits of Chinese hawthorn) in his hand.

The translucent brown sugar coating wrapped around the fruit, making them look particularly tempting.

Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi both brightened up at rhe sight.

Gu Xiaonan instinctively reached out his hand, but just before he touched the Tanghulu, he suddenly remembered that he needed to interrogate his father, and he couldn’t afford to show goodwill right now.

Moreover, he couldn’t easily accept gifts from him. If he ate the Tanghulu handed to him by his father, how could he ensure fairness and impartiality in the interrogation? He couldn’t be biased!

He couldn’t eat it!

So, Gu Xiaonan forcefully retracted his hand.

A reluctant look appeared in his big, dark eyes.

Seeing him decline, Feng Yuanxi, following the principle of solidarity, also refrained from raking the Tanghulu.

Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow and asked, “Don’t want to eat?”

“I won’t accept your bribe!” Gu Xiaonan stuck out his tongue at him and placed his hands on his hips. “You answer me first, how do you plan to deal with that woman surnamed Yu?”

Although his father was quite indifferent to Yu Huarong’s attitude earlier, Gu Xiaonan hadn’t forgotten the time before his father had fallen for his mother. Back then, his father threatened to kill his mother, accusing her of having malicious intentions and being a bad woman. Compared to that attitude, his father s treatment of Yu Huarong now was quite mild.

Thinking about it, Gu Xiaonan pouted unhappily.

But because he looked too cute and delicate, he didn’t appear intimidating at all.

Feng Tianlan moved his finger slightly, restraining the urge to pinch his son’s chubby cheeks.

Gu Xiaonan was still holding a grudge against him, and if he were to tease him by pinching his cheeks at this moment, it could lead to an explosive reaction.

Recalling Gu Xiaonan’s earlier question, Feng Tianlan answered seriously, “1’11 send her back to the Holy Capital.”

The single word “send” in Feng Tianlan s response clearly conveyed his attitude.

However, Gu Xiaonan was not satisfied. “If she were to go back, she would surely stir up trouble, and speak ill of Mother in front of others, so sending her back would only give her an opportunity, wouldn’t it?”

Feng Tianlan smiled; his son’s mind was indeed quick.

“What do you suggest I do?”

Gu Xiaonan replied, “Get her married!”

Ah, he truly was a little genius! He came up with such a clever idea!
