I want to make progress

Chapter 73 Thanks
Watching Lord Wu leave, Luo Yi happily clapped his hands on the table and laughed heartily before he could even get far away. The sound was so loud that Lord Wu, who was not far from the door yet, almost stumbled and fell down the stairs.

Compared with Luo Yi who was so happy that he wanted to drink two more cups, the old Duke changed his charitable look and became serious.

"There have been a lot of things going on in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion during this period."

From the news that the drum had been struck in Xuancheng, to Meng Nianjiao's mess, to now Meng Xichen's leg being broken in broad daylight, all these things happened one after another, all combined together. If he said this was a coincidence, then he would have lived in vain for so many years.

Hearing the old Duke's words, Shu Yunfu paused pouring juice for the two children. A light flashed in her eyes. It turned out that it was right to let Su Niang and the others stay put. There was no shortage of sensitive and insightful people in this world.

The gloating look on Luo Yi's face gradually disappeared, his thick eyebrows slowly wrinkled together, his eyes became solemn, and he said uncertainly: "You mean... someone is targeting the Duke of Protectorate Mansion!"

Because of his father and brother, Luo Yi was still very concerned about the disappearance of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. He also knew a little about what had happened in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion during this period.

I didn't think so before and just wanted to laugh at the joke of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, but now the old Duke's words have awakened me. If I think about it carefully, the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion has been in trouble all the time during this period. Ordinary people may just think it is a coincidence or retribution, but in their position, how could they have such superficial thoughts.

"Hiss! Who is that? I'm pulling out the tiger's whiskers!"

Even if he disliked the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, he would not dare to really take action against them. But now someone really took action against the Duke of Protectorate. No matter who it was, he was really brave!

"No matter who it is, I'm afraid the capital city will be in turmoil these days!"

With a sigh, the old Duke drank the milk in the cup in one gulp. He had planned to return to the manor in a few days, but now it seems that he should stay for a few more days.

Besides, he hasn’t eaten enough and heard enough of the delicious food and stories at Hongsheng Restaurant!

After eating and drinking, the group soon separated. Shu Yunfu and the old Duke went to a toy store with the two little ones.

I once heard from the servants in the mansion that the old Duke was a strict father. He was very strict with his children, except for the youngest one who was weak and sickly because he was a premature baby. But Shu Yunfu had never expected that the old Duke was actually a kind grandfather who doted on his two little grandchildren.

If Shu Yunfu had not intervened, this grandfather would have bought out all the stock in the toy store. However, even so, it still cost a large sum of money.

Gu Qiuyi and Gu Wenyu, the two little guys, had lots of toys. Under the envious eyes of other kids in the store, they became the two most eye-catching ones, and their proud little heads were about to be raised to the sky.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing the two little guys like this, Shu Yunfu couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips under her veil. The children are so cute.

What’s even more adorable is that these two little guys actually quietly ran to the nearby silver shop to buy her a thank-you gift.

"what is this?"

Sitting on the soft stool, watching the two little ones running to her mysteriously, the elder sister opened her tender little hands and carefully revealed a butterfly hairpin dotted with red gemstones.

The hairpin is shining silver all over, and the butterfly wings are thin and delicate. Although the red gemstones on it are not valuable, Darong thinks the craftsmanship is very good. The price of this hairpin must be not cheap, and it should be very expensive for these two young children.

"A thank-you gift for Aunt Shu!" "For me!"

Pursing her pink little lips, Miss Gu Qiuyi met Shu Yunfu's surprised eyes and felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you Aunt Shu for taking my sister and I out to eat delicious food and buy fun toys!"

Gu Wenyu didn't look like an ignorant three-year-old child at all. His chubby face was full of sincerity as he spoke words of thanks. He picked up the hairpin with his chubby little hands and stood on tiptoe to put it on Shu Yunfu.

I'm flattered! I'm totally flattered!

Cooperating with the little one's movements, she put on the hairpin. Even though she couldn't see what she looked like at the moment, she felt happy in her heart. Which woman would not be happy to receive jewelry? Moreover, at the beginning she thought that these two little ones were bought for Liu, but she didn't expect that they were given to her.

This made Shu Yunfu so happy that she didn't even care about her status. She grabbed the two little breasts and gave each of them a sweet kiss.

After the kiss, she was stunned for a moment. Because of her relationship with Gu Changting, although she liked these two little things very much, she didn't want to get too close to them. Otherwise, if the affair between her and Gu Changting was exposed, she would be sad.

It was just a kiss, and it was nothing, but she didn't think there was anything wrong. However, the two little guys' faces turned red, their big eyes were watery with shyness, they looked at her in disbelief, covered their faces and ran away.

On the way back, he didn't dare to look at her at all. As soon as he met her eyes, he immediately looked away. His little face started to turn red again, making her feel like a pervert.

But this did not affect her good mood. She was happy the whole day. In order to return the gift, she even made sweet and delicious apple pie for the two little ones.

When I asked someone to deliver it, I even thought with some evil humor that the two little kids' faces would turn as red as red apples when they received the apple pies.

He molested the two kids during the day, and was caught by the kids' father from the bed at night.

Shu Yunfu pushed away the man who was getting restless again with sweat dripping down her cheeks and rolled her eyes secretly. No matter how majestic and elegant a man looked, he would look like a hungry wolf in bed, and the one on her bed was even more so.

"You must be very busy these days, how come you still have time to come to my place?"

This man has been going out early and coming back late these days, and he is not seen in the house. She was sleeping soundly, and suddenly he appeared in her room, which almost scared her to death.

Logically speaking, since Meng Xichen had his leg broken today, the people in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion should be jumping up and down, but how could he still be thinking about such things?

"Today, Meng Xichen from the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion was found with one leg broken in a remote alley. I heard that before that, he had some disputes with you at the Hongsheng Restaurant..."

He holds the person in his arms, caresses the smooth skin under his hands with his fingertips, and kisses the hair at his ears lovingly.

"So are you worried about me... or are you doubting me?"
