When Hong Xiaoduo met Tianxuan's gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She had only been thinking about giving Lord Ye time and opportunities to get to know Tianxuan, how could she have forgotten something more important?
Up until now, I haven't talked to Tianxuan about it, I haven't given the child a hint, and I haven't given her any warning. The child isn't mentally prepared at all!
However, Hong Xiaoduo also knew why she was acting this way. There was only one reason: she understood all too well the reactions and attitudes of Lord Ye and the others so far, and their eagerness to find their child.
"Why don't we just buy these for now? We'll be staying here for a while anyway, and we can come back and buy anything else we need," Hong Xiaoduo said to Tianxuan, changing her mind.
This was also a deliberate statement to Ye Ren'an, indicating that he would be staying in Jiaozhou City for a while and would not leave immediately.
He needed to go back and explain everything to Tianxuan. As for Lord Ye and his wife, he also needed to let them go back and process their thoughts.
As for what to do next, Hong Xiaoduo felt that it was no longer a problem for her to worry about; she just needed to wait for Lord Ye and the others.
Tianxuan nodded, paid for the glutinous rice flour, took the package from the waiter, and followed Hong Xiaoduo outside.
Ye Ren'an opened his mouth, but refrained from telling the other person to stop.
We already know where they live, and I've seen the child and his wife with my own eyes. I even spoke with the child. I just heard them say they won't be leaving this place immediately.
Well then, let's go back first and think carefully about what to do next.
Ye Ren'an walked out of the shop, stood by his own carriage, and watched the child walk away with a group of people of all ages. He also watched the government officials' subordinates follow behind before getting into the carriage.
"Master, how is it?" As soon as he got into the carriage and before he could even sit down properly, Madam Xia grabbed his arm and shook it, asking impatiently.
"Don't worry, don't worry, just listen to what your husband has to say. I just spoke with that child inside, face to face, and I'm sure it's our Jun'er." As he spoke, his wife gripped his arm even tighter, and he was even hurting from her grip, even though he was wearing winter clothes.
"Master, you've already made up your mind, so why are you letting them leave?" Madam Xia asked anxiously.
Your son is right here; you should keep him here first! What if you're careless and he gets lost? What will you do then?
"Jinyu, don't be anxious. I have a feeling that the young lady knows something," Ye Ren'an said to his wife, now that he had calmed down a bit.
Xia was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that, sir? What does she know? Is that child our son? Or does she know your identity?"
"No need to be nervous. No matter what happened or who she is, I'm certain she means us no harm. Let's go back to the manor first, and I'll think about what to do," Ye Ren'an said softly to his wife.
Her husband was her pillar of support. After hearing his words, Xia nodded, released her husband's arm, and slowly pulled at her handkerchief, telling herself to stay calm and composed and not lose her composure.
Meanwhile, on the way back to the residence of the Lord of Lan Pavilion, Yao Guang had already been chattering away, telling everyone about what happened at the rice shop.
"Really, I'm not making this up. That uncle really looks a lot like my second brother. If you don't believe me, ask Mom or my second brother himself." After saying that, she got a little anxious when she saw that her brothers didn't believe her.
“What a coincidence! You met one yesterday evening, and you met another one today. Both of them look a lot like Second Brother, but they are not the same person,” Tianji said.
Upon hearing this, Quan Jinghuai looked over at Hong Xiaoduo. Seeing her expression, he immediately understood what had happened. He felt sorry for his second disciple's distress, and now that he was certain she wasn't an orphan and had found a home, having family was a good thing for her. As her master, he should be happy for her!
Tian Shu looked at Chao Hong Xiao Duo, then at her master, and then her gaze fell on Tian Xuan. Was she changed her route to Jiaozhou City because of Tian Xuan?
Tianquan laughed along, and even jumped up and put his arm around Tianxuan's neck, jokingly saying, "Second brother, those two people Yaoguang mentioned look a lot like you, could they be your family members?"
"Let Mom go and inquire whether their family has ever lost a child. If not, we could arrange for them to become godparents."
"Get lost, what a coincidence. If you want to become godparents, go by yourself." Tianxuan said, trying to shake off the arm around her neck, but the boy was holding on too tightly and she couldn't get rid of him.
"What do you mean, 'I don't look like them'?" Tianquan continued to laugh.
Before long, they arrived at Lan Zechen's residence. Hong Xiaoduo and the others had just entered when Lan Zechen and Guard Liu returned.
During lunch, after Hong Xiaoduo tasted all the dishes on the table, she confirmed that today's events had not affected Tianxuan at all.
Even when the child met someone who looked very much like him, and even after listening to Yao Guang and Tian Quan, he was not disturbed. It should be said that he did not believe that he was the second Kai Yang!
After lunch, it was still the servants of the Pavilion Master Lan who helped clean up the dishes.
The people who were called to slaughter the sheep arrived, and Yao Guang and the others went to watch the excitement, while Hong Xiaoduo left Tian Xuan behind.
"Sit down, I have something to tell you," Hong Xiaoduo said.
Tianxuan assumed she was about to bring out some special food and ask her to cover for her, so she sat down.
The two of them were sitting in a spot where they could see the sheep being slaughtered in the distance; everyone else was there except for her and Tianxuan.
"Tianxuan, do you know why I suddenly changed my mind and came here?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.
Hearing her call her name, not to explain the matter of concealment, and seeing her expression and tone, Tianxuan felt inexplicably nervous.
"The person we saw in the rice shop today is very likely your biological father, and the lady in the carriage that has been following us should be your mother."
The reason I came to Jiaozhou City is because I have a clue about your background, but I am not sure yet, so I did not tell you anything before.
Because I'm afraid that if it's not true, and I give you hope but then disappoint you, you'll be sad.
Until yesterday evening, when I took Yaoguang out, we ran into that little boy who looked very similar to you, almost like a twin, which gave me some confidence.
I met another person this morning, and I'm pretty sure they've found your home.
Tianxuan, you are not an orphan. You have a home, a father and a mother, and they have never given up on you since you were lost.
Therefore, they took what Yao Guang said yesterday evening when he mistook someone for someone else very seriously.
That's why there were more people watching outside this house this morning, and why we were followed while we were out shopping. I'm sure your father will be coming to our door soon.
So, you should prepare yourself mentally first. Hong Xiaoduo spoke slowly, observing Tianxuan's reaction as she spoke…
