At night, Xiaofeng stared at the ceiling, her thoughts somewhat turbulent.
Xiaonian was supposed to sleep with her, but she didn’t let Xiaonian come over.
Xiaofeng turned over, thinking about the events of today. Ye Cheng had essentially announced her identity in the Imperial Capital, and the Gu family, if determined, would soon discover that the twins were not his children with her. With just a little leverage, the Xu family could turn this into a scandal for the Gu family.
The Gu family was a well-known family in the Imperial Capital, and not only was Ye Cheng’s wife not from a distinguished background, but her two children were also not Ye Cheng’s.
Such news, once spread, would not only be the scandal of the Gu family but also a joke among the upper society.
Thinking about the children naturally made her think of her own origins.
Last time, Luo Yuzhu brought her clothes she had worn as a child, which she had stored away in her space.
Divine Sense entered the space, found the clothes, and examined them closely in her hands.
The material was of good quality and the craftsmanship was equally fine. Moreover, the fabric was embroidered with a small character for "yan."
Could it be that her name contained the character yan?
Luo Yuzhu mentioned they were a young couple, but it was unclear if they were locals.
If they were locals, judging by the fabric, they would have been well-off to afford such fine clothes for a small child in that era.
In a small place, there are only a few well-off families; she had been in Xijiang County for so long, and so had Luo Yuzhu. It would be impossible not to hear about a family losing a girl or a girl’s mysterious death.
This suggested another possibility: her parents were not locals of Xijiang County, and they could have been educated youths sent to the countryside at that time. They might not have realized their child was switched and therefore returned to their own city.
With the vastness of the world, finding one’s biological parents was not an easy task.
The problem was, even if she took the initiative, it was still uncertain whether the other party would recognize her. "Xiaoqi, do you have a function to find people, to help me locate my biological parents?"
Xiaoqi shook his head, "The space does not have that function."
"However, master, you could put those small clothes on the little master, and maybe your biological parents are in the Imperial Capital. If someone who recognizes the clothes sees them on the little master, they will naturally recognize them."
"You know, that’s not a bad idea," Xiaofeng patted Xiaoqi, who was nearly as tall as her belly. "Tomorrow I’ll dress Erbao in them and take her out for a stroll."
"But master, what if your parents don’t want to recognize you?" Xiaoqi, unusually serious, pondered.
"If they don’t recognize me, then so be it. It’s not a big deal," Xiaofeng chuckled. "As for my biological parents, I’m not too concerned about it. If I find them, I find them; if not, then that’s that. In my heart, my dad is my real dad, and no matter what, I will not abandon him."
Xiaofeng then began munching on fruit, "How about we bring the two babies here for you to play with?"
"Yes, please, I’ve always wanted to do that," Xiaoqi happily agreed upon hearing that her master wanted to bring the little masters in.
"I’ll store them first, and then you go and hold them, okay?" Xiaofeng was uncertain if she could bring two living people into the space, as she had never done it before; even she herself had only her Divine Sense enter the space, not her physical body.
So, she was unsure if it was possible to bring the babies into the space.
"Yes, that’s possible," Xiaoqi happily jumped. "The little masters don’t have Divine Sense yet, so their Divine Sense can’t be activated, so they can only enter with their bodies."
"Okay, wait for me for a moment, I’ll try," Xiaofeng said, and her Divine Sense had already returned to her body, looking at the two babies, she muttered, "Enter."
The two babies, who had been sleeping on their small bed, just disappeared in front of her, vanishing on the spot just like in a mythical drama.
Once the two babies entered, Xiaofeng’s Divine Sense quickly followed to check if the babies were inside.
Upon entering, she saw Xiaoqi already holding the babies on the grass, playing and singing in front of them with some fruits, looking very comical.
The two babies, as if understanding, gnawed at their little hands and giggled from time to time.
Xiaofeng looked at their interaction and laughed, sitting aside.
Here, there was no need to worry about someone coming over, nor was there any need to worry about bad people.
This was a place only of calm and tranquility, most suitable for the babies to sleep and play.
The next day, Xiaofeng, Xiaonian, and Yu Shuiling agreed to go to the temple fair.
The temple fair in the Imperial Capital was nationally famous, held annually after the Spring Festival, bustling with huge crowds and lively activities.
