Resplendent Apothecary ch 51 - The Ruckus With the Adoption (2)

The clan leader patted him on his shoulder and said, “It’s a good day three days from now! Both Ming-er and Ye-er are nice kids, I hope you’ll treat them well.”

“Don’t worry, Second Brother! They will be my grandson and granddaughter from now on, of course I will dote on them!” said Gu Xiao as he laughed heartily.

By now Gu Ming had already ran over next to his sister. With her hand in his, he comforted her, “Don’t be scare, little sister! This grandpa seems very nice. He won’t be like that terrible Mrs. Gu who was always plotting against you!”

Resplendent Apothecary ch 50 - The Ruckus With the Adoption (1)

“Wife of Liao Qi, what are you trying to say?” At the end of the day, they were still seeing him as a burden and not want to have anything to do with him! Gu Xiao snickered within himself. He was glad he changed into old clothes in town and wrapped the gold that he brought with him in worn out cloth. It was that easy to see a person’s true colors.

Mrs. Gu grabbed Gu Ming, dragged him next to her and continued, “Fifth Uncle, you said my husband father has an oral agreement with you way back when and we are not going to go back on our words. We will compensate you with a son! This is the eldest son in our family, he will be turning 12 after the new year. He was better than some adults when it comes to working. Look, he’s not too old, you can still bond with him as if he is your own. You have a limp in your leg, he was just the right age to take care of you, what do you say?”

“Hot…!”

Her body was on fire. She felt like she was in a fire-burning oven. Sweat was pouring down on her. The qi inside of her bouncing off in all directions and tearing up her meridians. All she could do was to force her qi to flow around her dantian as time passed.

“Cold….!”

Chunks upon chunks of thin but study ice appeared on the surface of her body. Bitter coldness entered into her meridians, all the qi contracted at the same time. This cold timed rumbled within her and slowly expanded outside and the burning hot sensation cooled immediately.

TWQQF ch 244 - An Unexpected Discovery; Chasing Away The Best (13)

After the Tian’s had learned of this, they all looked very displeased. But Luo Yujie was happy all over again in not time. She used that as in excuse to continue staying at the Cheng’s. If anyone asked about it, she’d say she must wait for Cheng Xiao Xiao to come out.

Zhu Xiangyu, who was there to make his delivery also received the same news. That didn’t bother him too much as he, too, had used that as a reason to stay over at the Cheng’s using the excuse of waiting on Cheng Xiao Xiao.

Upon seeing the young Mr. Zhu, Luo Yujie started worrying for her two sons. Could they measure up to this handsome gentle in front of them? Would they be able to win over Xiao Xiao in light of him?

TWQQF ch 243 - An Unexpected Discovery; Chasing Away The Best (12)

Yet it has happened. If he valued Cheng Xiao Xiao before now due to her status as a master beast tamer, then now he had completely looked at her as a mysterious person.

He had a feeling that she wasn’t merely just a master beast tamer!

She had a weird fan that could enlarge and shrink at will; she had strange vines that could elongate and reduce at all. Yet nobody had any ideas what they were.

At this moment in time, Zhu Xiangyu realized how difficult it was going to be to try to figure out the Cheng’s, no, Cheng Xiao Xiao. Almost impossible.

TWQQF ch 242 - An Unexpected Discovery; Chasing Away The Best (11)

Now that she stood up against Luo Yujie, that was a bit….

Thinking about this, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but looked over to where her father was. Cheng Biyuan, on the master seat, noticed her look winked at her.

Cough, cough, cough….

Cheng Xiao Xiao almost choked to death. She had never seen the playful side of her always serious father!

“Yuqin, what are you talking about? What are you saying? I just wanted the kids to spend more time together, what is wrong with that? Do you feel that now that the Cheng’s are better off than us, you can just abandon us? If that’s the case, I will tell mom when I get back. What is the meaning of this all? I only have our family’s interest in mind, what is wrong with that….”

Resplendent Apothecary ch 49 - Grandpa (3)

When Gu Ye returned home with the firewood, their courtyard was crowded with people. The Gu’s clan leader was there along with a few elders in the clan. With the exception of one unfamiliar old man, the rest of the folks standing in the courtyard were villagers of Qingshan that she was familiar with.

It wasn’t exactly correct to call him old; he wasn’t exactly old and decrepit. He was perhaps around 40 or so. He was a tall man. He only had to stand there casually and he exuded the commanding air uniquely belonging to someone in the military. His hair was grey and his beard messy. He had on a set of old clothes and in his hand was his belongings wrapped in cloth. In his other hand was a cane that supported his weight.

If it wasn’t what had happened last night, perhaps Mrs. Cheng would send someone to fetch her daughter to entertain their relatives. But she wasn’t going to disturb her daughter’s rest just to chitchat with them.

Mrs. Cheng did has her own bottom line after all!

Even though Luo Yujie wasn’t happy about it, she dare not show her discontent. She still remember clearly what had happened last night, how could she still be her arrogant self in front of the Cheng’s? She was even a little more frightful and kissing up to her sister Mrs. Cheng.

Resplendent Apothecary ch 48 - Grandpa (2)

Even Gu Ming, who had planning to severe his relationship with his family, noticed that Mrs. Gu had stopped causing troubles to his surprise. Even the way that Gu Qiao treating the two of them have changed slightly. When he brought up wanted to split up, his father shot it down and promised that they would not plot against Gu Ye ever again.

Not that Gu Ming had any more faith in the two, but the winter was coming and now really was not the time to split out. Whatever happened, they would have to wait till after the winter and make plans in spring.

“Yuqin, now that there are nothing else for you to worry about around the house, you should focus on cultivating again. At least to protect yourself if not for us.”

Ye, I understand. I will pick up cultivating again as soon as sister Yujie and her family takes off!”

Upon the mentioning of Luo Yuqie, Cheng Biyuan frowned and a strong look of disgruntlement appeared on him. Even though Tian Fushang showed up tonight with him, when it came down to it, he didn’t join in the fight at all. He was a martial spiritualist, but he was so scared that he didn’t make any move at all.
