Madam Gu's face changed drastically: "Changsheng, don't talk nonsense. What is Soul Devouring? Mother has never heard of it. The third young master of the Gu family is born noble. Who dares to touch you?"
"Mom, I was just saying it casually." Gu Changsheng smiled indifferently.
As expected, only Mr. Gu knew about it, and Mrs. Gu knew nothing.
Master Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said meaningfully, "Changsheng, your parents have protected you well since you were a child, and they have never done anything wrong to you. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"Yeah, I know."
"How is Xia Qianqian's poison being cured now?" asked Mr. Gu.
"Li Sui is a skilled doctor. He has seen Soul Devourer before in Prince Qin's mansion. Xia Qianqian is fine now. She has returned home. As for the sequelae, no signs have been seen for the time being."
Master Gu stroked his beard and said, "Bring her here sometime so Dad can talk to her. Dad, I remember that little girl is very ambitious. She said before that she wanted to make porcelain, and the Gu family is willing to support her."
"Okay." Gu Changsheng agreed.
It was windy and cold, so he shouldn't stand outside for too long.
Mrs. Gu interrupted their conversation with a scolding look and personally sent him back to the house.
Gu Changsheng was weak after all, and he fell asleep soon after lying down under the heat.
Not long after Mrs. Gu left, Mr. Gu came quietly again.
He sat beside Gu Changsheng's bed, looking at the thin child, feeling mixed emotions.
What is coming will eventually come. This child will not stay with us for long. He will go to the capital to play in that world of intrigue and turbulence.
And he is old and can no longer protect him...

Yangliu Village
Almost everyone in the village knew that Xia Qianqian was poisoned.
Neighbors and blind dates all came to visit her at home, asking about her well-being, showing the friendliness of fellow neighbors.
I was away from home for a few days, but the two puppies in the yard didn't starve to death. I don't know who helped feed them.
Old Man Xia and Grandma Xia also came. Yang was even more interesting. She came into the house and went to the kitchen to cook without saying a word.
Qin was afraid of tiring Xia Qianqian, so she didn't dare let the villagers stay at home for too long, and sent them away after they sat for a while.
Soon, the aroma of chicken soup wafted through the house.
Xia Qianqian was greedy and asked, "Mom, where did you get the chicken?"
"Your third aunt brought it from home. Are you hungry? It will be ready in a while." Qin said.
Xia Qianqian was extremely surprised.
In this poor mountain village, drinking chicken soup is a luxury. It was rare that the Xia family was willing to give her family a chicken.
"Although Yangliu Village is a little poor, it's still good. After all, it's our roots." Qin also felt emotional.
Xia Qianqian smiled, feeling a little sad.
She has long been accustomed to this place.
But why do I still think of Gu Yanjing when I close my eyes
Gu Yanjing, I don't owe you anything. I've spent half my life trying not to drag you down.
From now on, I won’t think about you anymore, and you won’t come to see me anymore…
"Qianqian, Auntie San made some chicken soup for you, get up and drink some."
Soon, Yang served chicken soup and brought it to the bedside personally.
Xia Qianqian sat up, took the chicken soup and drank it slowly.
The delicious chicken soup warmed her stomach. Drinking a bowl of chicken soup was already a luxury. Yang's attitude towards her had really changed a lot.
"Qianqian, your grandma said there are still a few chickens at home. Take your time to eat them. After you finish eating, your third aunt will bring some to you." Yang said with a smile.
Xia Qianqian thanked him and lay down again.
"Alas, this child has had a hard time." Yang turned her back and said to Qin, "Sister-in-law, has Qianqian's poison really been cured?"
