216 Lin Zhou: Han Xiangs Background 3 (2/2)

When the quartet heard the baby almost touched the ground, they held their breath in... They almost wanted to scold the woman... why couldn't she hold the baby tighter?!

”After that?” Yao Ying asked.

”The man looked up, trying to find out where the baby came from. After all, around that time, it was very dark. My sister-in-law almost wanted to yell and catch the baby back, when she heard what the man said at that time...” Tao Gu Gu trailed off.

She could still remember the way her sister-in-law told her what had happened back then... The man tried to look around but he couldn't find where the baby came from. It proved that the man didn't have martial arts skills ability. If he was one, he should be able to feel her sister-in-law's presence. The man said with gratefulness and looked at the baby with affection, ”Little baby ah~ it seems like we have a fate...”

The man smiled when he saw the baby actually didn't cry at him, on the contrary, she was sleeping soundly and when the baby heard his voice, her mouth curled up for a little bit. He checked the baby gender and found out that it was a girl. The man was actually only coming out of his house and wanting to drink his sorrow away, however, he actually got a surprise --- he got a bundle of joy.

Her sister-in-law paid close attention to the man, after seeing his good-quality clothing and his soft gaze toward the baby, she changed her mind. She wanted to see what the man was going to do with the baby, instead, she found the man crying hard while hugging the baby...

Her sister-in-law was quite speechless, but his next words indeed made the decision for the baby's life. ”Baby ah~ uncle's daughter was dead right after she was born and uncle's wife was heartbroken... How about this? From now on, you can become my daughter... yes, my daughter... Heaven has sent you straight to my embrace. Don't worry! I will treat you as one of my own...”

While walking away, Tao Gu Gu's sister-in-law followed him slowly and tried not to let the man sense her presence. However, she was actually thinking too much, because the man was too excited to pay attention to his surroundings. He talked to the baby all the way to his own home and when she was safely inside the house, Tao Gu Gu's sister-in-law sighed in relief.

At least, the baby had found her safe haven.

”The real one actually lives near me then?” Xiao Fang asked in surprised. ”If she's not a commoner, then she must be living as a noble lady. Who is this woman? Maybe I already keep in touch with her?”

The Han Kingdom wasn't that big, so the inner circle was also not as many nobles as the Shu Kingdom. Xiao Fang was pretty sure that she must have known the real princess, maybe she could help the trio to keep in touch with the real daughter.

”I suppose so,” Tao Gu Gu answered. ”You can become friend with Princess Han Xiang, you must also be a noble lady.”

”Do you know the man's identity?” Xiao Fang asked excitedly.

”Yes, I know... that's why I didn't leave back then. I wanted to make sure that everything went well on the real daughter's part...” Tao Gu Gu explained.

”Who... who is he?” Xiao Fang really wanted to know the answer as soon as possible.
