Chapter 530: Someone to Worry About
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gongsun MO sighed softly and stroked his wife’s hair when he heard her explanation. He looked conflicted and was already indifferent to life or death.
He felt burdened with hatred, but he had someone to worry about. It was Lei Tongtong.
He thought she was innocent and did not know how to care for herself.
Su Binglan had already descended the carriage and appeared before the young couple. She introduced herself, “Hello, my name is Su Binglan. That’s my brother, and this is Blue Eagle.”
She could not openly say Lan Ruozhu’s name. He was still wearing his hat and scarf, so none could recognize him. However, Su Binglan believed Gongsun MO was no stranger to Blue Eagle.
BoxNovel.comAfter all, she had arranged for Blue Eagle to settle Gongsun MO down while living as Lan Ruobing.
Gongsun MO was stunned when he looked at the youth’s appearance and heard the name “Blue Eagle.” At that moment, he recalled the past, and his heart was in turmoil.
Lei Tongtong looked at Gongsun MO and was shocked. She waved a hand before his face and said, “Dear?”
Gongsun MO only returned to his senses after that. His attitude toward Su Binglan and the other two changed entirely then. He was no longer wary of them and became slightly excited instead.
Still, he had his suspicions.
Blue Eagle was Princess Lan’s subordinate, and she would arrange for him to do crucial tasks. Then, Blue Eagle became King Lan Ruozhu’s follower when Princess Lan passed away.
Gongsun MO felt a sense of familiarity with the young lady before him, but she looked different. He also guessed the person wearing the hat and scarf was
Lan Ruozhu.
‘But isn’t King Lan Ruozhu weak and has to sit in a wheelchair? How can he stand and walk independently?’
Gongsun MO had many doubts, but after seeing Blue Eagle, he knew they were from the deceased royal’s mansion. He excitedly welcomed everyone. Although walking was challenging, he could use his walking stick to support himself.
Lei Tongtong squatted before him and said, “Dear, I’ll carry you in.’!
She was much stronger than ordinary people and wanted to do something for Gongsun Mo. When the couple escaped from pursuit in the past, Lei Tongtong was the one who carried Gongsun MO and quickly ran away.
However, Gongsun MO was reluctant to let his wife tire herself out. They rarely went out after moving here.
Gongsun MO said softly, “You can get up, dear. I can go in myself.”
Su Binglan started observing Lei Tongtong more immediately after. She felt Lei Tongtongs demeanor and expression shift slightly. “You’re much stronger than most, Tongtong.”
Lei Tongtong nodded. “Yes, but I accidentally use too much force and break things sometimes.”
She could not control her physical power.
Gongsun MO sighed and explained, “She wasn’t like that when she was younger. She only became stronger after recovering from a few illnesses.
“You’re still young,” Gongsun MO gently told his wife, “It’s expected that you can’t control your strength. If you break something, we can always fix it.” He could always soothe his wife’s temper gently.
Su Binglan felt moved when she looked at Gongsun Mo’s current appearance. She remembered him acting hostile, and his eyes were cold when the emperor annihilated the Gongsun family.
Gongsun MO could not control his murderous aura and wanted revenge. When Su Binglan was Lan Ruobing, she thought of many places to settle in Gongsun Nio. Ultimately, she chose Thundercloud Castle.
The castle was far from disputes, and its families only made perfumes and makeup. It was suitable for him to live in such an atmosphere. However, he did not expect Lan Ruozhu and Blue Eagle to visit the remote village.
Eastern Thunder Village was far from Thundercloud Castle, and the young couple had experienced something there.
After entering the courtyard, Gongsun MO closed the door and bolted it. Then Lan Ruozhu removed his scarf and hat after entering the house.
Gongsun MO was even more shocked when he saw Lan Ruozhu’s appearance. “Y-Your Niajesty!’
He was astounded and quickly knelt before Lan Ruozhu. However, Su Binglan lifted the former and said, “Sit, Mo. We’re not outsiders, so there’s no need to be so polite.”
Gongsun MO looked at Su Binglan and then at Lan Ruozhu. His heart was in turmoil. ‘The King is really here. Has he finally recovered?’
He had seen King Lan Ruozhu before and knew the latter was frail. There were also rumors saying Lan Ruozhu would not live past eighteen years old.
However, the King was eighteen years old and still okay. Moreover, he was in good health and could walk freely. Gonsun MO also felt the same when he faced Su Binglan as when he faced Princess Lan Ruobing.
He became dazed. ‘If it weren’t for the difference in their appearances, I would have thought Miss Su is Princess Lan. Or did Princess Lan not die and change her appearance instead?
‘Wait, it doesn’t seem like a disguise, and Miss Su is the Su family’s daughter, so she has nothing to do with Princess Lan.’
Su Binglan observed Gongsun Mo’s expression and knew he had many questions. She said, “I’ll cure you now, so you no longer have to worry. I happened across a wooden toy and thought of you.
“I wasn’t sure if it was your craftsmanship, so I came to see if it was yours. I honestly did not expect to be right.”
Gongsun MO looked at Lei Tongtong, and she lowered her head, saying, “I-I
just wanted to earn money to get you a doctor.” Gongsun MO said softly, “I’m not mad at you, dear.”
He could not bear to blame his wife and was concerned about her. Atter all, Su
Teng Market was so far away. ‘How did she get there, to begin with?’
His heart ached when he thought of how far Lei Tongtong had to run with all those things. Then he recalled the past and took the initiative to explain, “Tongtong is the Lord of Thundercloud Castle’s daughter. However, someone had attempted to assassinate him.
“He returned to the castle with severe injuries and hurriedly arranged certain things. He entrusted and betrothed Tongtong to me. I think the Castle Lord might have known too much then but didn’t have the time to tell me.
“I never expected someone from Thundercloud Castle to harm the Castle Lord and Tongtong. The castle was under attack that night, costing many their lives. That was when I broke my leg.”
Lei Tongtongs eyes reddened when she recalled those moments. “Those people hurt my people and my husband. Fortunately, MO had made a hidden mechanism that allowed us to escape.”
“Yes, that’s right.” Gongsun MO nodded. “We had to live in the wild and sleep in the open for a while. Later, we found Eastern Thunder Village and settled down. Fortunately, I had some silver for us to live stable lives here.
“I could only think of revenge then, but I was worried about Tongtong and didn’t want to endanger her. I only want her to live happily.”
Of course, Lan Ruozhu understood this feeling the most.
Although Gongsun MO had explained things simply, Su Binglan knew how complicated and dangerous their experience was.
She asked, “But isn’t Thundercloud Castle united and doesn’t involve itself in disputes? Why would people break in and kill so many people?”
