Li Xiao Ran’s eyebrows furrowed evendidn’t have any children All they had was the one adopted son If so happened, it would be uncertain whether or not Zhou shi+would be able to endure it As he contemplated, he questioned, “Does San furen know about this?”
The wet nurse’s face paled “No, she doesn’t Nubi was afraid furen wouldn’t be able to endure it Instead I said Lao furen had invited San shaoye over”
Li Xiao Ran kne important the child was to Zhou shi+ and immediately ordered people to search for hi Xi’s hly, otherho knows if soht”
Li Xiao Ran looked at her stonily “What kind of jiejie are you that you would curse your San di? Preposterous!”

Da furen glanced over the still water In a quiet voice, she said, “Laoye, what Xiaowu said isn’t wrong Everything is possible Wasn’t it last year that Zuo Yushi+’s youngest son fell in the water when he was playing around? There’s so many people here You and I should head to Nan Yuan and rest there while ait for the results”
Li Xiao Ran couldn’t believe the heap ofHis mood worsened as he nodded his head and made his way towards Nan Yuan
Meanwhile Da furen was giving orders, “Thoroughly search the area around the waters” Then she briefly exchanged a look with Li Chang Xi
Li Chang Xi understood right away “Mother, don’t you worry I’ll stay behind and make sure we’ll find San di”
