As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of someone landing came from outside. Mu Qingfeng quickly walked in. “Alright, but I can’t guarantee I can cure it—it depends on what kind of gu it is.”
“Just do your best,” Ling Yu said. Then he turned to Tang Wan. “Wan’er, you go as well. Carefully treat the young… lady, and do your best to keep her safe.”
“Alright, I’ll go and be back soon!” Try to relax…
Her husband was acting very strangely. Could it be that this eldest daughter had something to do with him?
Oh, right!
Just now, he had asked about her birth date.
Could it be…
A thought flashed through Tang Wan’s mind, and she looked at Ling Yu in shock. “Husband, she…”
“Yes.” Ling Yu nodded, gripping her hand in return, his eyes filled with pleading.
“I understand. Second Prince, Qingfeng, let’s go!” Tang Wan’s expression turned serious. She patted Ling Yu’s hand before turning and leaving.
Huangfu Yi was too worried about Huangfu Ronglan to notice anything unusual about Ling Yu.
If he hadn’t been so anxious, he might have discovered the truth sooner.
Tang Wan, Mu Qingfeng, and Huangfu Yi quickly left the courtyard.
After they were gone, Ling Yu collapsed into his seat.
His beautiful eyes were slightly red, and the killing intent radiating from him was impossible to suppress.
“Gu Yanshuang, well done. I originally didn’t plan to do anything to you—after all, victory and defeat are part of life. My mother lost to you, and I had nothing to say about that. But your mistake… was treating my elder sister like this…”
He was so certain because he had investigated this in his previous life.
Back then, Huangfu Yi had been drugged, and the only woman he had been with was Jiang.
In his previous life, when he uncovered this, he had wondered why Gu Yanshuang had imprisoned his mother for months before deciding to kill her.
Now that he knew about Huangfu Ronglan’s existence, everything made sense.
That vicious woman had clearly intended to continue venting her hatred on Huangfu Ronglan.
Pitifully, in his previous life, he had died without ever knowing he even had an elder sister.
When he had learned that Huangfu Yi once had a daughter who drowned, he had merely treated it as a joke and dismissed it.
If he had known earlier…
If he had been more patient and investigated further…
Thinking of this, Ling Yu slammed his palm down, shattering the table.
After a long while, he finally suppressed the turmoil in his heart. He got up, went to the kitchen, grabbed a handful of millet, and came out into the courtyard.
Soon, a gray pigeon circled down and landed on his palm, cooing a few times before pecking at the grains in his hand.
Ling Yu stroked its feathers and said gently, “Can you help me deliver a letter to Yuan Yuan?”
“Coo~” The pigeon lifted its head, its small green-bean-like eyes studying him for a moment before nodding slightly.
“So you really can understand me!”
He had suspected this before when he occasionally saw Tang Wan whispering to this pigeon or the silver one.
His wife had a mysterious background and possessed many unusual abilities.
Ling Yu immediately took the pigeon inside, scattered the millet on the table for it to eat, and sat down to write a small note.
He placed the note into a tiny bamboo tube and tied it to the pigeon’s leg.
“Gray Che, I’m counting on you.”
“Coo~” Easy task. I fly fast—just wait, male lead!
After finishing the millet in a few quick pecks, the pigeon flew out the window.
…
Yuan Yuan had just been about to go to sleep when she heard a noise at the window, like someone tapping on it.
She got up, walked over, and opened the window.
A gray pigeon landed on the windowsill, standing on one leg while extending the other toward her.
