Chapter 232: Someone is asking about me?
Zhao Xier laughed wildly in her heart, and her hands that were tugging at the corner of the man's clothes kept tightening. Oh, Liu Yingying, Liu Yingying, you should just keep that broken promise for the rest of your life!
I want this man! I want that bitch’s treasure, too! Sooner or later, sooner or later I will find him, and then coax the thing into my hands! Hahahahaha…
Thinking of this, the possessed Zhao Xier suddenly sneered, startling Xiang'er and Gu Wenlang.
"Xier, what are you laughing at?" Gu Wenlang didn't see the pride and cruelty that flashed across Zhao Xier's eyes, so he lowered his head and asked.
Zhao Xier's smile froze, and in the blink of an eye she returned to her usual quiet self, "I'm just happy."
Gu Wenlang had no doubts: "Oh, Xi'er is happy. You are weak, so you shouldn't worry too much, and you shouldn't stay in the house. When you feel better, I will walk around with you."
"Okay, but I don't want to go out. My husband, just accompany me for a walk in the yard." Zhao Xier said with a twinkle in her eyes.
She thought she was just hoping for the best and wanted to leave some good memories with Gu Lang in his hometown, but she didn't check the calendar when she went out and was recognized by a boy that day.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xier was so angry that her teeth were itching. She was extremely afraid that Gu Lang would abandon her, so she lost her composure and almost exposed her crazy side.
Fortunately, even if Gu Lang regained his memory, he had no intention of running away from her. As for Liu Yingying, would the young man tell her? Would he dare to tell her?
Zhao Xier thought about it and suddenly felt that Liu Yingying might not keep her promise, but what about it? She was already an old virgin, and it might not be a good idea for her to marry someone...
Seeing that she was in a daze again, Gu Wenlang instructed Xiang'er who was standing in front of the bed: "Xiang'er, go find a doctor."
Xiang'er also felt that something was wrong with her young lady, so she readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, he walked out quickly and closed the door considerately.
After the two of them talked, Zhao Xier came to her senses again.
But Gu Wenlang's attitude was a little strong. He grabbed her shoulders and wanted her to lie down. "Xi'er, you don't look very well. Take a rest first. I'll sit here with you."
Zhao Xier looked into the man's deep eyes and lay down obediently, "Then if I fall asleep, you are not allowed to leave."
Gu Wenlang smiled lightly, "Okay, I won't leave."
Zhao Xier also raised her lips. Once she found the person, they would return to Beijing immediately. She didn't believe that a country bumpkin who had never seen the world could resist the temptation of wealth and glory.
Here, Zhao Xier was confident of victory, and was certain that Xia Mo, who was still living a hard life at this time in her previous life, was no match for her.
Little did he know that when Xia Mo was riding on a carriage home that day, he unexpectedly heard a few uncles and aunts chatting about a rich family looking for their son under the big banyan tree at the east end of the village.
At first, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan didn't pay much attention to what they were talking about, but when they saw the elders, some of them were familiar to them, so it was only right to say hello when they passed by.
After the young couple greeted each other, Xia Mo was stuffed with a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds. "Don't be polite, Ze'er. Take them back and eat them. They are peeled from my own pumpkins. They are delicious."
Xia Mo smiled at the enthusiastic aunt: "Thank you, aunt, it smells delicious just by smelling it."
"Ze is really sweet-talking. How about I go back and get you some more? We still have some at home..."
"No, no, these are enough for me and Brother Chuan to eat." Xia Mo was really afraid that the other party would go back to get more, so he changed the subject, "But auntie, what were you laughing at just now? I heard your hearty laughter from a long distance away."
When the aunt heard him ask this, her eyes wrinkled with a smile, "Aunt, I found a pie today."
Xia Mo burst out laughing, thinking that the other party was teasing them, but a young woman next to them immediately narrated the whole story.
It turned out that the person who was asked by Xiang'er and the other two about Xia Mo's news today was this Aunt Afang.
Suddenly hearing his own name from their mouths, Xia Mo's eyes darkened, and Ling Chuan also lowered his eyes slightly.
"Wait, sister-in-law, are you saying that today two girls and a man asked you about a guy named Xia Mo?" Xia Mo asked, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart.
"Yes, but there is no one named Xia Mo in our village. There is someone named Xia Qing." She nodded, then bent down to grab a handful of pumpkin seeds and started eating them.
"Spit... But forget about Xia Qing. Even without mentioning his name, his age doesn't match. The boy they're looking for is only nineteen years old. How old is Xia Qing? He's already thirty-one."
The people beside him couldn't help but say sourly: "Oh, if only someone could ask me like this, one or two taels of silver would be like pie in the sky."
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan listened to their conversation calmly for a few sentences until Xia Mo pretended to be shocked and let out a "hiss".
He widened his eyes and said, "Aunt, you didn't lie to me, did you? You actually gave me one tael of silver for getting some information?!"
"No, no, it's true. Your aunt is really lucky."
"Pah, pah, pah, this is not what I call shit luck, this is what I call meeting a noble person in my destiny!"
"Hahaha, what Afang said is right. Isn't this boy named Xia Mo your benefactor?"
"Aunt, the more you talk, the more bizarre it becomes. I'm completely confused. What is going on?" Xia Mo couldn't help but ask when he heard them mention his name again.
"They said that this boy named Xia Mo is their young lady's cousin. He got lost accidentally when he was a child. After so many years of tracing the cause, they finally confirmed that he ended up in our area, and they came here to find this boy to trace his ancestry back to our roots."
"I see." Xia Mo sighed and said, "It must be a hardship for this child to be stranded in a foreign land. I hope he can be found soon."
"Yes, it's better to find it sooner."
"Actually, it's not easy to find..."
Several other people echoed this. Some of them wanted to say that he was destined to be rich but not to enjoy happiness, but after seeing Xia Mo, they felt that this statement was too ambiguous and sounded a bit innuendo, so they swallowed it back.
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan listened for a while longer, and only left as if nothing had happened after they were sure they had heard all the news.
"Brother Chuan, what do you think?" Xia Mo asked Ling Chuan when they walked to a place where there was no one.
