Chapter 214, A Prophecy Come True
The old man stroked his beard and carefully looked them both up and down. Then he said to Xiao Fu in a serious tone, "I see that the young lady's forehead is slightly dark. She may be in danger of bloodshed recently. So I want to remind her to be careful in what she does lately."
Xiao Fu had never really believed in fortune telling, so when he heard the old man's words, he simply smiled politely at him and left two copper coins: "Thank you for the reminder, sir. I will definitely pay more attention."
Then he turned to Wei Dongning and said, "Young Madam, let's go back to the manor."
The old man knew she hadn't listened to him, so he sighed, shook his head, and thought to himself, "Never mind, it's not a big calamity," and didn't call them back.
After walking a distance, Wei Dongning spoke up: "I felt that the old man was quite sincere. Maybe you should be more careful lately and avoid things as much as possible."
Having lived with Xiaofu for so long, she could tell from Xiaofu's perfunctory attitude towards the old man earlier.
Since her experience of time travel, she still holds these things in awe.
Hearing someone's well-intentioned advice, she felt it was best to listen.
Xiao Fu knew that Wei Dongning was worried about her, and quickly replied, "Okay, I will be careful these next two days."
"I forgot to ask earlier, and I don't know roughly when." Wei Dongning patted Xiao Wu's bottom in her arms: "Do you know? Give me a hint."
Xiao Wu, who was feeling sleepy after just finishing his meal, was forced to open his eyes: "Ancestor, if I had known, I would have told you long ago."
"Alright, then Xiao Fu will just have to be more careful on his own."
Knowing that Xiao Fu was recently in danger of getting hurt, Wei Dongning gave up the idea of dragging her out for another stroll.
Shopping can be done anytime, but unnecessary suffering should be avoided if possible.
Even after they got home, Wei Dongning wouldn't let her do any work that wasn't absolutely necessary for Xiaofu.
Xiao Fu was left wondering what to do.
He stood beside Wei Dongning, hesitant to speak for a long time.
Wei Dongning knew that she had suddenly found herself with free time, so she casually handed her her storybook: "If you're bored, you can read a book."
"Speaking of which, young mistress, could you please ask His Highness Prince Ding when the sequel to his book will be published?"
"I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. I'll ask around for you sometime."
"That's great!" Xiao Fu's eyes lit up with excitement.
She's already watched the first part countless times; she simply can't get enough of it.
If a second book comes out, she will definitely buy two copies as soon as possible.
Keep one copy to read, and keep the other as a collector's item!
"Calm down, you...you..." Wei Dongning's lips twitched slightly.
I wonder if Xiao Fu would still be so supportive of Su Yizhuo if he ever saw the original versions of the Four Great Classical Novels.
However, Xiao Fu reminded her of that today.
As someone with connections, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to ask Xiao Fu for two personally signed copies when Su Yizhuo releases the second book, right?
The master and servant were engrossed in reading their respective storybooks.
They would also exchange their "reading experiences" from time to time.
The two of them were so relaxed that they didn't even know when Gu Peiyan returned.
By the time Wei Dongning came to her senses, Gu Peiyan had been quietly standing at the door watching her for a long time.
As Wei Dongning moved her stiff muscles, which had become stiff from reading, she turned her head and met Gu Peiyan's smiling eyes: "When did you get home? Why didn't you remind me?"
"Seeing that you're engrossed in reading, I don't want to disturb you."
"So thoughtful." Wei Dongning pouted and reached out to hook Gu Peiyan's chin.
The little cat lying in its bed staring at them felt so nauseous.
Gu Peiyan undoubtedly understands Wei Dongning.
Grabbing her mischievous little hand, he said firmly, "You learned it from the storybook you were reading, didn't you?"
“Gu Peiyan, sometimes people who are too smart are not cute at all.”
"It's okay, as long as one person in the family is cute."
"Grumpy."
Seeing the two of them getting more and more lovey-dovey, Xiao Wu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak up passionately: "Ningbao, can you two still remember that this isn't your private time together? And the way you two are acting right now isn't sweet at all."
"Oh dear, life isn't all that sweet or bitter. I'm not a candy."
Wei Dongning grumbled inwardly, but still let go of Gu Peiyan.
It wasn't because of Xiao Wu's two sentences, but mainly because she remembered that Xiao Fu and Qian Rong were still around, and it would be better for them to be mindful of their behavior.
In fact, from the moment they started pouring oil on each other, Qianrong and Xiaofu had already gone about their business and hadn't even looked at them.
Wei Dongning sat back down on the couch and recounted how she met Wei Xiuming at the restaurant that day and even managed to get a free meal: "I wish this kind of good thing could happen a few more times."
"Next time, let's find out in advance when our older brother and his friends are going out to eat and where they're going, and then secretly follow them."
"I've noticed you seem to be going astray."
"Is there?"
"Yes, I suspect your true nature has been revealed."
"Perhaps."
Xiao Wu chimed in at the opportune moment: "It could also be because one is influenced by one's surroundings."
As a result, when Gu Peiyan stood up and turned her back to them, she received a "love flick" on the forehead from Wei Dongning: "Shut up, or I'll never take you out to eat anything delicious again."
"You didn't hear anything." Xiao Wu wisely shut his mouth and obediently stayed in his cat bed.
She even turned around and faced them with her backside.
However, a moment later, it changed its tune: "Wait a minute, you said this morning that trying to gain a small advantage will lead to a big loss, how come you've changed your tune tonight?"
“That’s my own brother. How can treating a family member to a couple of meals be considered taking advantage of them?”
"Tch, you're just being hypocritical."
"So what?"
"I can't argue with you, you're always right."
Eating braised pork knuckle twice in a row for lunch and dinner, no matter how delicious it was, was still a bit too much for Wei Dongning.
Therefore, during dinner, Wei Dongning didn't touch the pork knuckle much with her chopsticks.
Even when Gu Peiyan tried to put two pieces on her plate, she firmly refused.
At that moment, she wanted to give herself a thumbs up for resisting the temptation.
After dinner, Xiao Fu and Qian Rong started clearing the plates off the table as usual.
Wei Dongning suddenly remembered what the old man had said, and called a maid in from outside to take the things from Xiao Fu's hands: "Xiao Fu, go back and rest early today, and remember not to touch any dangerous things."
After Wei Dongning finished giving her instructions, she saw Gu Peiyan looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Clearly, he didn't understand the meaning behind her words.
Wei Dongning leaned close to his ear and whispered her explanation.
Regardless of whether Gu Peiyan could understand, she felt that what she did was definitely right.
Xiao Fu knew that Wei Dongning meant well, and after listening to her words, she went back to her room early.
To be fair, she felt that the young mistress was being a little too nervous.
These are things she's used to doing, so she won't get hurt so easily.
Unfortunately, people often stumble in unexpected places.
When Xiao Fu touched the blood on her forehead, she could no longer smile.
