Chapter 428 - 428 The Daughter Of The Su Family
428 The Daughter Of The Su Family
Su Xiaowu was a little tempted. She hugged Li Guanfeng’s neck. This feeling was very reassuring. It must feel good to be taken care of by her brother.
Su Xiaowu’s lips curled up into a smile. “Alright… alright then.”
After saying this, she thought of her grandmother and added. “But only if Grandmother agrees.”
Li Guanfeng smiled. “Okay.”
Her grandmother was already so old, how could she not agree? Clearly, she could not take care of Xiaowu for the rest of her life.
Moreover, in this world, no one loved Xiaowu more than he did. Therefore, Xiaowu’s grandmother would definitely agree because he was the best person for her.
After walking around the streets, Li Guanfeng and Su Xiaowu returned to the inn.
As soon as they returned to the inn, Su Xiaowu asked. “Brother, you’re clearly not my father. Why would those people say that I’m your daughter?”
Li Guanfeng took a deep breath. “That’s because they’re blind.”
Su Xiaowu nodded. “Oh!.”
Li Guanfeng placed Su Xiaowu on the bed. “Xiaowu, go to sleep. I’ll wake you up for dinner later.”
When he thought about how he had been praised by some stall vendors for doting on his daughter, Li Guanfeng felt frustrated.
What daughter? He was going to be Su Xiaowu’s husband. What daughter? F*ck off.
He wondered if he really looked that old.
Su Xiaowu was ten years old now, and it would take at least seven years before she could marry him. He really had to take better care of himself because he wanted to grow old with her.
Ligui and Liming soon returned.
Li Guanfeng asked the two of them to speak softly because Su Xiaowu was asleep.
Ligui lowered his voice and said, “In the entire Chuzhou, there are more than 20 Su mansions, big and small. The most famous one is the Su manion of the Chuzhou magistrate, Su Yuanyang.”
Liming also said, “Other than Chuzhou’s prefectural magistrate, Su Yuanyang, there’s also a herbal family, Su Shiquan. The other Su mansions are either too small or not well-known.”
Li Guanfeng thought for a moment. “Go and ask if there’s an old lady in Su Shiquan’s family. Be quick.”
Ligui and Liming accepted the order and left.
Li Guanfeng, on the other hand, was guarding Su Xiaowu. He had rushed to Chuzhou yesterday night and arrived at noon today. He had to seize the time to ask around. Xiaowu’s family background was not bad. The herbal family was more likely to be her family.
After all, if the daughter of the prefectural magistrate of Chuzhou was missing, Su Yuanyang would definitely have used all the power he could muster to find her.
Therefore, after thinking about it, it was more likely that Xiaowu was the daughter of the herbal family.
If nothing went wrong, Liu Sanniang would arrive tomorrow. He had to let Xiaowu see her grandmother tonight.
Ligui and Liming were very fast. They returned in less than two hours with good news and a butler.
The butler’s name was Su Gui. He looked at Li Guanfeng with a smile. “Young Master, did you really find our miss? If it’s true, our Su family will definitely reward you handsomely.”
Li Guanfeng’s expression was calm. “How’s her grandmother doing?”
He was not an easy person to fool. If the Su family really cared so much about Su Xiaowu, why didn’t they put in the effort to find her?
Su Gui smiled. “Young Master, where is she now?”
Li Guanfeng said calmly, “I’ve been taking care of Xiaowu for the past few years. She only remembers her grandmother.”
Su Gui was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Of course, Old Madam is in good health. She has always been thinking about Miss. For so many years, many people have wanted to pretend to be Miss. If you really found Miss, let her come out. If she is not another imposter, I’ll immediately take her to see her grandmother. After all, Old Madam is old…”
Li Guanfeng glanced at Su Gui. “Wait.”
After saying that, Li Guanfeng went upstairs. He did not like Su Gui, who had shifty eyes. However, he wanted to help Xiaowu, so he didn’t want to miss any chance.
It didn’t matter what the attitude of the Su family was. The person Xiaowu was looking for was her grandmother. Thinking of this, Li Guanfeng felt a little better. He entered the room and gently woke Su Xiaowu up. “Xiaowu, wake up.”
Su Xiaowu rubbed her eyes and called out sleepily. “Brother.”
“Yes,” Li Guanfeng replied.
Then, he helped her put on her shoes and wipe her face. Su Xiaowu was completely awake. Li Guanfeng held Su Xiaowu’s hand and led her to Su Gui.
The moment Su Gui saw Su Xiaowu, he was stunned. A trace of shock flashed across his eyes. Then, he said, “Yes, they look too similar.”
When Su Gui saw Su Xiaowu, he knew that she wasn’t an imposter. His tone was a little anxious. “Miss, come home with me quickly.”
Su Gui wanted to go forward and hold Su Xiaowu’s hand.
Su Xiaowu hid behind Li Guanfeng and asked timidly. “Brother, who is he?”
Su Gui gave her a smiling look. “Miss, my name is Su Gui, and I’m the butler of the Su mansion. Your name is Su Xiaowu, and you’re the daughter of the Su mansion. Hurry up and go back with me. Your grandmother misses you day and night.”
Tears welled in Su Xiaowu’s eyes. “Grandmother.”
Seeing Su Xiaowu’s reaction, Su Gui smiled and nodded. “Yes, your grandmother is waiting for you.”
Li Guanfeng had been observing Su Gui. His reaction made him suspicious. However, Su Gui clearly knew Su Xiaowu’s identity. Naturally, Li Guanfeng had to go along to see it for himself.
Li Guanfeng said in a deep voice, “Then lead the way. Xiaowu is the child bride I bought. She’s mine now. I’ll just take her to see her grandmother before we leave.”
The corners of Su Gui’s lips twitched. “Child… child bride?”
Did he hear wrongly?
Ligui and Liming almost lost their balance and fell, unable to believe that this came out of Li Guanfeng.
Li Guanfeng looked at Su Gui. “Lead the way.”
In any case, he would never let this person take Su Xiaowu away alone.
Su Gui was a little stunned. He looked at Li Guanfeng in disbelief. Li Guanfeng looked righteous and handsome. Why did he have to buy a child bride?
Su Gui said in a daze, “Alright, alright. Young Master, please.”
As long as he took his miss back, his task would be complete.
