Upon hearing this, Madam Ji paused for a moment, then spoke of entering Suisuiâs Dream Realm.
"Look at me, I forgot to tell you. Suisui has a treasure on her which can pull people into her dreams. When I fainted just now, I was pulled into her Dream Realm by the artifact spirit of her treasure. She told me sheâs back on the boat now, so weâll go pick her up."
Hearing Madam Jiâs words, Ji Youran was utterly dumbfounded.
"Suisui actually has such a treasure? How come I didnât know?"
Huo XingâEr glanced at him and sneered, "What could you possibly know?"
At her words, Ji Youran, without a second thought, bared his teeth at Huo XingâEr. "I donât know, but you, you shrew, do?"
Huo XingâEr snorted coldly. "I knew about Suisuiâs Dream Realm a long time ago!" After saying this, she suddenly felt something was wrong...
"Damn you, Ji Youran! You insulted me again... I..."
When Huo XingâEr heard Ji Youran calling her a shrew again, she was so angry she raised her hand to hit him.
Ji Youran hastily ran towards Madam Ji. "Mother! Thatâs Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law! Theyâre back."
Since the person she found annoying was now in front of her mother-in-law, Huo XingâEr could only stop her attempt to hit him.
Ji Youcheng and Zhu Xiuxiu, the latter wearing a veil, arrived hand in hand.
"Mother! You donât have to come out," Zhu Xiuxiu said, hurrying forward to persuade Madam Ji as soon as she arrived. "Just rest well here in the shop. Weâll find Suisui."
Seeing Zhu Xiuxiuâs anxious and worried expression, Madam Ji quickly said, "Itâs fine! I know where Suisui is, and Iâm going to pick her up right now."
"Ah!" Zhu Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment.
She hadnât yet figured out how Madam Ji, who had clearly been resting in Bright Moon Pavilion all this time, suddenly knew where Xiaosuisui was?
Madam Ji continued, "Suisui is on the painted boat. Weâre going to get her. One of you should stay here and wait for the others who are out searching for Suisui. When they return, tell them to stop looking and go home to rest."
"The painted boat?" Ji Youcheng exclaimed, momentarily confused. "Isnât that where we lost her in the first place?"
He added, "Mother! Youâve been resting in Bright Moon Pavilion all this time. How do you know Suisui is on the painted boat? Did someone go to the painted boat and find her there? Or did someone come and inform you?"
After all, he was the owner of Bright Moon Pavilion. If his staff received news, they would surely inform him, not just his mother.
Thatâs why Ji Youcheng asked.
Hearing his question, Madam Ji glanced at him.
This ridiculously handsome son of hers... why did she suddenly find him so annoying?
"I know because I know! Why all the questions?" she retorted, then continued walking forward.
Ji Youcheng:
...I knew it. Iâm not their real son... I must be a wild child my parents picked up on a Battlefield!
Zhu Xiuxiu gave Ji Youcheng a gloating smile, expressing her disdain, and then followed Madam Ji.
ăOn the painted boată
Zhao Fei held Xiaosuisui, his arms aching, but he kept her cradled steadily, not moving an inch.
It was past lunchtime, and his stomach was grumbling. He gritted his teeth, trying hard to ignore it.
A stomach rumbled nearby. Zhao Fei blinked.
No, that wasnât his stomach this time.
"Why hasnât Grandmother come yet? Suisuiâs tummy is hungry," a small voice said.
Suisui?
Zhao Fei was momentarily startled, then realized it was the name of the little girl in his arms.
