Chapter 57: Extremely Vain
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Tell me, who kidnapped Xiaonan? What does the person look like?”
Xiao Mei instinctively felt that he wasn’t lying, and for some reason, this young boy who resembled the Young Master gave it a familiar feeling. Apart from that, he also exuded tremendous pressure.
After weighing the options, Xiao Mei decided to temporarily trust him.
“The kidnapper is an ugly monster with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth…”
“Stop!’ Feng Yuanxi scrunched his nose. “Everyone has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. There’s no way for you, a parrot, to describe it clearly. Tell me, how tall is he? What is he wearing? Does he have any birthmarks or distinguishing features on his face or body?”
Xiao Mei flew up into the air and raised one wing. “This tall! Wearing black clothes!
Feng Yuan-xi furrowed his brows. The description was too vague. “Any other distinctive features?”
“Ah, I remember! Someone called him ‘Mr. Lan’!”
Feng Yuan-xi was stunned.
The Crown Prince of the Celestial Dynasty always referred to his father as ‘Mr. Lan’. Could it be that his father had kidnapped Xiaonan?
Why would his father take Xiaonan? Could it be that he mistook him for himself?
The more Feng Yuanxi thought about it, the more it seemed plausible.
He had sneaked out of the palace and been discovered by his father. Then, his father encountered Xiaonan, who looked remarkably like him, mistook him for Feng Yuanxi, and took him away.
“Save the Young Master! Save the Young Master!” Xiao Mei urged anxiously as Feng Yuan-xi stood there in a daze.
“No need to worry. Xiaonan is not in danger,” Feng Yuanxi said calmly.
His father wouldn’t harm Xiaonan.
This worked out perfectly. Feng Yuan-xi could stay by his mother’s side for a little longer without worrying about his father finding him too soon.
Turning a bad situation into a good one, Feng Yuanxi smiled and placed the dried fruits on the table. ‘Xiao Mei, you eat!”
“Save the Little Master! Save the Little Master!” Xiao Mei flew out.
Feng Yuan-xi jumped up and caught Xiao Mei. “Are you planning to go find my mother? Don’t you dare tell her, or I’ll pluck all your feathers!
A green parrot named Xiao Mei, or rather Xiao Mei being very self-absorbed, was indeed extremely vain!
Sure enough, when Xiao Mei heard his threat, she covered her beak with her wings and looked at him fearfully with its small eyes.
Feng Yuan-xi smirked satisfactorily. “That’s right. Don’t worry, your Young
Master won’t be in danger, and I don’t want to see my mother sad either.” Whether Xiao Mei understood his words or was simply intimidated by his threat, she obediently landed on the table and started nibbling on the dried fruits.
Feng Yuan-xi turned his head and surveyed the room.
This was his mother’s room!
Su Lie held the account book in his hands, looking puzzled. “Master, the Gu family has taken everything they could move. Why didn’t you let us stop them? Many of the items they took originally belonged to the Jun family.”
Gu Qingluan sneered. “They have taken so much from the Jun family that it’s difficult to explain it all now. If we insisted on stopping them, do you think they would obediently leave?”
Su Lie shook his head. “Objects are inanimate, but people are not. I will gradually recover what they owe the Jun family. However, I don’t want to see them roaming around in this mansion anymore.”
“I understand!” Su Lie suddenly realized.
“Now that the people of the Gu family have all moved away, it feels empty with just a few of us. If you have the time, find some trustworthy individuals and arrange them as our subordinates…”
After meticulously organizing the affairs of the mansion, Gu Qingluan said, “Let’s go and inspect the storage room.’
Su Lie hesitated for a moment.
‘What’s the matter?’
“The storage room has also been completely emptied by them. There is nothing left.’
“Let’s go and see for ourselves..”
