Chapter 754: Chapter 754 Vanished into Thin Air (1)
An Yiqing’s face flushed, but before she could speak, An Zisheng next to An Zhiyan slapped his son on the back of the head.
"Go on, what nonsense are you spouting? Even as an elder brother, you’re not acting the part!" An Zisheng looked at An Zhiyan with dissatisfaction. Just the thought of his precious daughter already belonging to that stinky boy from the Gu Family made An Zisheng’s heart clench with an intense ache of reluctance.
"Niuniu, come inside, don’t bother with your dad and your second brother." Old Lady An pulled An Yiqing inside, asking with affection, "Have you had breakfast yet? Grandma made your favorite stuffed pancakes this morning, would you like to have one?"
"Grandma, Ah Lin made century egg and lean pork porridge this morning, and we’ve already eaten," An Yiqing replied dutifully.
Hearing this, Old Lady An’s look toward Gu Yelin became even more affectionate. Although this era advocates gender equality, what elder wouldn’t want someone to cherish and spoil their family’s child like a precious jewel? Gu Yelin’s considerate and meticulous nature made Old Lady An very content.
"Ye Lin, you truly are attentive. If you feel like not getting up in the future, you and Niuniu can enjoy your lazy mornings to the fullest. The house always has food ready, so there’s no rush," she said.
Facing Old Lady An’s gentle advice, Gu Yelin nodded his head. Although he did not speak, his respectful attitude made his sentiments clear.
Today was May 3rd, still a holiday, so none of the An Family had to work. Having a rare day of leisure, they naturally wanted to gather at home and enjoy the family joy.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, how did you all sleep last night?" An Yiqing sat down and asked with concern.
"It’s fine, everything’s fine," Old Master An waved his hand, "Niuniu, you don’t have to worry. None of us got hurt yesterday. It’s just the engagement ceremony of you and Lao San got spoiled, alas!"
An Yiqing guessed that her family would certainly feel pity for her, so she quickly shared the response she had already prepared in her heart.
"Grandpa, don’t say that. An engagement ceremony is just a ceremony, not the official marriage. The ceremony is for outsiders to see. Ah Lin and I are living very happily, so even if the engagement ceremony was ruined, it doesn’t matter. Besides, although there was bloodshed yesterday, we managed to uncover a clue. With the constant troubles in Xuandu City over the past few months, if we can use this opportunity to find the culprit behind it all, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?" she said.
An Yiqing’s words made sense, and even though Old Master An and the others felt uneasy, they could only come to terms with it, secretly attributing yesterday’s incident to the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Niuniu, about yesterday’s incident, do you have any leads? I heard Younger Brother Ye say that you have encountered these masked people before?" Old Master An asked.
An Yiqing nodded, her expression somewhat somber, "I’m a bit suspicious that those people are related to Aunt Zhang, who is infiltrating our house. Moreover, I’m somewhat skeptical that the Country Bai Tutian Family may be involved in this incident. During the months I spent in Xuandu City, I followed the vine to find out some things; the Canglang Sect should be connected to the Tutian Clan and those Medicine People. It’s possible that they are also behind this incident."
"Country Bai Tutian Family?" Old Master An’s brow furrowed tightly, dark thoughts emerging in his mind, "Tutian is one of the older aristocratic families in Country Bai, comparable to the Onmyoji Anpei Clan. If they are related to those Medicine People, then..."
An Yiqing narrowed her eyes, her gaze turned cold, "Then, at the engagement banquet between the Gu Family and the An Family, all of Xuanjin’s heavyweights were present, including the King. If they seize the chance to take us by surprise when we are unguarded and inadequately prepared, then Xuanjin could see the majority of its power fall into paralysis!"
