Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Not Just a Consolatory Performance

Song Yunuan felt the problem wasn’t significant.

If her uncle wanted to clarify Hea Yunfei’s situation, then she’d help her uncle get it clarified.

The consolation performance this time was in fact far from simple.

Song Yunuan hadn’t expected that what she originally intended to do just to help her youngest aunt save some face had now transformed into a joint investigation operation.

Not just Xia Bowen, but also Murong Qianqian’s sixth aunt.

She was also Murong Madam’s younger sister.

The Lou Mengjun who, holding the months-old Qianqian, had gone through all the hardships to escape to Xiangjiang, was suddenly out of contact after there was news about Murong Feng.

The small house she rented was now occupied by others, who said that the original tenant had left and the landlord had rented it out to him.

Due to the lack of and delay in information.

So, there was virtually no lead or useful information.

Which means that finding this person was nearly impossible.

But we wouldn’t give up on our side, Old Master Gu made use of all available resources, determined to get news of the sixth aunt no matter what.

As for whom Old Master Gu had sent, Song Yunuan didn’t know, but since they were, after all, considered part of the same unit, Old Mr. Gu secretly informed Song Yunuan that they would act separately, the fewer people who knew, the better.

Who knows how her uncle persuaded Old Mrs. Song, anyway, Old Mrs. Song was no longer obstructive, but she did get into an argument with Third Aunt Jiang from Willow Tree Village.

It turned out that Third Aunt Jiang wanted to introduce her niece to Xia Xindong.

Her niece was a technical secondary school graduate, currently working as an elementary school teacher. Because she was quite proud, she hadn’t found a suitable match and was now 23 years old.

But still very young compared to Xia Xindong.

Third Aunt Jiang saw this as a good marriage prospect.

She had already approached Zhu Feng several times.

In fact, Zhu Feng was tempted.

But the little granddaughter had already talked to her, saying that Xindong was slowly recovering, with many emotional issues yet unresolved, and was not suitable for marriage and setting up a family just yet.

He should do it only if he found someone he liked.

But judging by Xia Xindong’s personality, there probably wasn’t any hope in this lifetime.

He seemed to have no interest in these matters at all.

Zhu Feng wanted to arrange marriage prospects for her son.

But in the end, she dismissed the thought.

In Willow Tree Village, Third Aunt Jiang was the one who treated her the best and their relationship was also very good.

Indeed, Zhu Feng had met Third Aunt Jiang’s niece who was a very good girl.

But since her son had no intentions, Zhu Feng had no choice but to refuse, even saying that it shouldn’t be brought up again in the future as it would not be good for the child.

This was out of good intentions, but Third Aunt Jiang immediately got angry.

"Oh, now you’re something else, people from your Old Xia’s family are flying high on branches, one by one becoming phoenixes. Us little sparrows can’t climb high enough.

You used to praise my niece all the time, but now you’ve grown eyes on the top of your head and look down on everybody.

Alright, alright, I won’t try to reach above my station. I’ll leave right now and never come to look for you again in this lifetime, is that okay?"

Third Aunt Jiang was so angry that her face turned ashen, her mouth spewing sarcastic remarks.

Just then, Xia Xindong entered the yard.

He spoke very calmly and gently, "That must be Third Aunt Jiang. My mother didn’t mean anything by it; she was thinking of your niece’s reputation when she asked you not to come frequently, given I have health problems, really big ones at that, and I’m not considering marriage for the time being."

Hearing Xia Xindong say this, Third Aunt Jiang couldn’t make a scene anymore.

She sheepishly said, "I didn’t mean anything by it either, I just thought you two were suitable, and I wanted to introduce you..."

Xia Xindong politely escorted Third Aunt Jiang out of the door.

After escorting her for a distance, he then returned.

Zhu Feng was actually quite worried.

Her eldest son was now taking care of Xique alone, and her younger son would turn thirty-six after the New Year. If she died one day, the family would fall apart.

Old Mrs. Song spoke to Song Yunuan about her grandmother, "Sometimes your grandmother thinks peculiarly, but she has a good nature and is open to persuasion. Even when wronged, she’s capable of consoling herself."

She sighed and said, "Alas, the Old Ma family even asked me to make a match, but I didn’t dare speak up. Everyone’s no fool; to be honest, anyone who becomes your grandmother’s daughter-in-law could just wait to enjoy a good fortune."

Song Yunuan blinked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Old Mrs. Song laughed and scolded, "I’m just chatting with you casually. For a girl looking for a husband, having a good or bad mother-in-law is so important. No matter how good the couple’s relationship is, if there’s a mother-in-law who stirs up trouble, sooner or later they’re bound to split up."

Song Yunuan couldn’t agree more.

During the casual conversation, Little Asheng came over. Since recovering from smallpox, he seemed even fairer and was always carrying his little shoulder bag filled with tasty treats, with a large white goose that no large yellow dog could defeat always following him.

At that moment, the large white goose was calling cats and teasing dogs while Little Asheng leaned in front of Song Yunuan with his big eyes gazing at her expectantly.

He had been pestering her for days about going to Xiangjiang with Song Yunuan.

Not only did he want to go, but this time Song Mingbo would be coming along as well.

Unexpectedly, Song Yunuan had actually agreed.

She primarily wanted her eldest brother and little brother to see the world.

She also promised Xique and the others that she would definitely take them on a tour next time.

This time they were heading to Beidu for the gathering.

Two days before Song Yunuan’s departure, Gu Huai’an arrived in Nanshan County Town. He was really busy and also very eager to go to Xiangjiang.

However, his trip to Xiangjiang was planned for autumn.

Gu Huai’an brought Song Yunuan a specially made mobile phone that could be used in both Nan City and Xiangjiang, with unlimited call credit.

Meaning, she could make and receive calls without limit.

No wonder it was special.

But that wasn’t the important part; what was important was that he brought Song Yunuan an even more special little black and gold handgun!

It was about the same size as her water gun, just a size smaller.

Even the bullets were custom-made.

There was also an exquisite magazine, with probably more than a hundred rounds...

Shocked, Song Yunuan looked at Gu Huai’an, "...I can actually use this?"

This was truly beyond her expectations.

Gu Huai’an’s eyes carried a smile, his voice mellow, "Of course, you can use it." He said while taking out a small booklet from his briefcase.

There was even a permit.

It had her name, Song Yunuan, on it.

My big brother is incredible!

It’s not difficult to come by gold and jewels, but this little iron buddy in her hand wasn’t something you could just buy with money.

It was a symbol of status and position.

A specially approved weapon and unlimited call credit, just these two things gave Song Yunuan a clearer understanding of just how high and mighty Gu Huai’an’s position was.

Song Yunuan loved it, truly loved it.

A phone to keep in touch and a weapon; she also had many potions and would be armed to the teeth.

Did Gu Huai’an know she might stir up some trouble in Xiangjiang?

Next, Gu Huai’an took Song Yunuan to the nearby cavalry camp and, in the shortest time, taught her how to shoot.

Song Yunuan learned fast and handled the gun with ease.

There was also a sense of power that seemed to make the weapon more potent.

Gu Huai’an’s clear and handsome features were gentle, his eyes shimmering: "This is a gift to celebrate your college admittance."

Song Yunuan smiled, her eyes curving, "Thanks a lot, your gift is exactly what I wanted."

Gu Huai’an: ...

He really wanted to ruffle her hair, always wondering what she was thinking.

[Big brother really likes giving gifts, even preparing one for Children’s Day.]

She took a close look at Gu Huai’an, his skin slightly pale, and he seemed a bit thinner, but he appeared to be in good spirits.

Even more handsome after not seeing him for many days.

[Big brother’s skin is also really nice, sigh, I’ve known him for a year now, but I haven’t properly touched big brother yet.]

Gu Huai’an: ...

That’s not a very proper thing to say!
