“Ugh.’
Listening to this, Su Qingluo’s little face turned bitter. Just as she had found the mysterious valley and was pondering what excuse she could use to get her mother to let her go out and play, her mother had given her this huge “surprise.”
“Of course, this is just your father’s and my idea.”
Li Xiu’e acutely sensed her younger daughter’s melancholy and subconsciously hugged her soft little body tightly, carefully coaxing her, “If you don’t want to study medicine, your parents won’t force you.”
“Mom, I’m only five years old, still a clueless baby. I don’t want to leave you.”
Su Qingluo was genuinely upset. Her carefree days haven’t even started yet, and they were already going to end?!
“Hehe.”
Li Xiu’e was amused by her daughter’s deliberate act of cuteness, she tenderly rubbed her head: “If you don’t want to study, then just forget it. Pretend I never mentioned it.”
“Mom, I know you mean well.”
Su Qingluo understood Li Xiu’e’s concerns that she was too smart and might arouse suspicion, so she deliberately wanted her to study medicine.
She couldn’t ignore her mother’s kindness.
“But, I have more important things to do, so I don’t want to waste my time being someone’s apprentice. If you want me to learn medicine, you can just buy some medical books for me to read on my own.”
“Alright, we won’t be someone’s apprentice.”
Li Xiu’e was delighted and abandoned the idea of having her learn medicine from the old physician: “Our little girl is smart. She’ll learn by herself.” “Hehe, Mom, is the lotus leaf wrapped chicken delicious?”
Getting her way, Su Qingluo’s smile showed her teeth while her eyes disappeared.
“Of course, it’s delicious.’
Li Xiu’e knew she was deliberately changing the subject, gently poked her forehead, and said playfully, “You look so sad when I mention learning medicine, but you’re all fired up when it comes to eating.”
“Hehe.”
Su Qingluo pouted and acted cute, “Mom said that my brother and I haven’t eaten meat for five days. There’s no oil in our stomachs. We’re about to starve.” “You! Little heartless child.
Li Xiu’e teased her with laughter, “The village chief gave you braised rabbit meat, and you ate it without even remembering his kindness.”
“Hehe, I remember, Qingluo remembers everything. I remember my parents’ love for me even more clearly.”
Su Oingluo continued to snuggle in Li Xiu’e’s arms, rubbing left and right like a clingy little flower cat.
“Hehe.”
Listening to her, Li Xiu’e felt satisfied, holding her soft little body and smiling from ear to ear.
Xuzhou City, Thousand -Mechanism Pavilion.
Luo Zhan respectfully stood in front of a young man with a hint of charm in his eyebrows and eyes, softly reporting the news about Su Qingluo.
“Pavilion Master, according to the information my subordinates have collected, the girl’s background seems to be related to the Duke of Zhen’s residence in Capital City.”
“Oh? How so?”
The young man arched his eyebrows, revealing a touch of charm.
Luo Zhan respectfully reported, “My subordinates have found out that only two households in Capital City had given birth to a baby girl within a few days of the Su Clan finding her. One is a commoner family surnamed Li in the eastern part of the city.”
“The daughter born to the Li Clan had a birthmark on her left cheek, just like her mother, so it couldn’t be a mistake.”
“The second household is the Duke of Zhen’s residence. The wife of their eldest son gave birth to the eldest granddaughter a night before the Su Clan found the baby girl. The timing matches when she floated down the river to Woniu village.”
“There’s also another suspicious family. The man of that family, Liu, had an outside mistress. The woman was originally a famous prostitute in Suzhou City and quite beautiful. She became pregnant and was brought back to Capital City. However, on the evening of her delivery, news of one corpse and two lives emerged, and she had died in childbirth.”
“I sent someone to verify that although the midwife insisted that the child was stillborn, her expression was very tense and suspicious..”
