Chapter 175 Ji Lingzhao

Su Wan picked up the paper, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she slowly opened it.

There were only three words inside.

Ji Lingzhao.

Su Wan's heart trembled, and an absurd idea came to her mind.

In the box she found, there were three puppets. One was Ji Xuan, one was Qi Min, and the other was a little one. She had guessed before that it was a family of three. Now seeing the three words "Ji Lingzhao", it looked like the name of this little puppet.

Ji Lingzhao...who is it?

No——

Who is this little puppet?

Su Wan's mind was full of thoughts, like a huge wave hitting her, instantly knocking her out.

Her fingers curled up, and she unconsciously scratched the birth date on the back.

There is no doubt that this puppet is her.

If there were no birth date, she might have thought of something else.

When Qi Min was still unmarried, she had a deep affection for Ji Xuan, and she envisioned a family of three in the future, so she carved this little doll.

Su Wan stared at the paper and the puppet for a long time, feeling mixed emotions.

She put the paper into her purse, matched the puppet's head, and put it into the purse together.

Su Wan smiled bitterly, feeling that God had poured a big pot of dog blood on her head.

Su Jihong was not her biological father, but the regent was.

Just half an hour ago, she advised the regent to look forward and get rid of Qi Min from his heart. There was no need to dwell on the past.

Turning around, she leaned over and said, "Hey! You never thought that I am the daughter Qi Min gave birth to you."

The regent had to give her a hammer.

Su Wan had a headache.

Qi Min didn't tell the regent the truth because she was afraid that he would go crazy and rebel desperately to take her and the child back.

She was in a dilemma, not knowing whether she should tell the regent the truth that had been sealed for more than ten years.

If the regent knew, the trip to Xiliang would be inevitable.

Not only that.

With his strength, how could he let her have the surname Su again?

If she was forced to recognize her ancestors, it would cause a big uproar.

Su Wan was particularly entangled and could not make up her mind, so she simply stopped thinking about it. When Gu Huaizhi came back, she would discuss it with him.

Su Wan fell on the couch and stared at the purse in her hand.

She had never thought that her life experience was actually very complicated.

Su Wan felt guilty towards Mrs. Su. She was so good to her, gave her all her wealth, and thought about her everywhere, but she was not her granddaughter.

The things that Mrs. Su gave her had to be returned when she was sent to the nunnery the next day.

Su Wan was so absorbed in thinking that she did not notice when Gu Huaizhi came.

Until the purse in her hand was taken away, she suddenly sat up and reached out to take the purse back.

"You are back?" Su Wan's heart was beating violently. That moment just now really scared her.

Gu Huaizhi looked at her in shock, "Are you scared?" His clear eyes fell on the purse in her hand, with a faint smile on his lips: "Is the thing in the purse important?"

"Yes." Su Wan knelt on the couch and handed over the purse in her hand: "Take a look."

Gu Huaizhi took the purse, opened it, took out the puppet and the paper, and his eyebrows jumped.

Recognizing this puppet, Su Wan brought it from the Qi family.

"What do you think will happen if I give this to the regent?" Su Wan's dark and bright eyes were full of light, her long black hair was soft and scattered, her brows were tightly knitted, revealing her melancholy: "I am restless and can't make up my mind."

Gu Huaizhi rubbed the birth date behind the puppet with his thumb, and took a look at the name on the paper, and felt a headache.

I never thought that Su Wan's biological father was his adoptive father.

The adoptive father regarded Su Jihong as a thorn in his side and married his beloved. If Su Wan's true identity is known, Su Wan must change her surname at all costs.

"Let me think about it." Gu Huaizhi did not dare to be rash.

If Su Wan's identity as the daughter of the Regent is spread, she may be in danger.

"I will test my adoptive father first to see if we can discuss it and recognize each other privately. After the dust settles, I will announce to the world that you are his child." Now is a critical moment. Gu Huaizhi did not dare to take risks and put Su Wan in danger: "For your safety, he will definitely agree."

Su Wan nodded: "It can only be like this."

Gu Huaizhi put the puppet and the paper into his purse and said in a deep voice: "My adoptive father will go to Xiliang Kingdom in person."

Su Wan was shocked, "I can't let him go! He is desperate!" She suddenly got off the bed and stepped into her shoes: "I will go to the Regent's Mansion now."

The puppet in the purse is like her amulet.

The Regent hates Su Jihong. When she was Su Jihong's daughter, the Regent could protect her. Now that she is his own daughter, she does not believe that the Regent can twist her head off.

Su Wan can now act as much as she wants in front of him!

When she walked outside the mansion, Su Wan happened to meet the matchmaker.

When the matchmaker saw Su Wan, she hurriedly said, "Madam, my surname is Cao, and everyone calls me Cao Pozi. The maid in your mansion came to the door and said that you want to pick a few smart and hardworking servants. I have selected some people. Can you take a look?"

Su Wan looked at the twenty or so people behind her and calmed down, "Come in."

"Hey!"

The group went to the front hall.

"Madam, these people are all carefully selected by me, and they are all good." Cao Pozi looked all the way over. This mansion is very impressive: "Your place is large, and a few people are a bit too few, right?"

"I know." Su Wan looked at the people behind Cao Pozi.

Cao Pozi asked them to stand in two rows.

Su Wan looked from beginning to end: "Which cooks are good? Stand forward."

The group looked at each other, and six or seven people took a step forward.

There needed to be at least two people in the kitchen, and Su Wan picked a few people who looked honest and simple and didn't know how to deal with things.

She said, "You three, go to the kitchen and make a simple dish, I'll give it a try."

Several people looked at Mrs. Cao.

Mrs. Cao glared, "What are you looking at? Why don't you go quickly!"

"Follow me." Xiao Taozi led the people to the kitchen.

Su Wan thought that such a big house would require several people to sweep. She also selected two men and two women to be responsible for the chores and sweeping. Gu's mother, Jingyun, and Baozhu needed someone to serve them, so these people had to be carefully selected.

She walked towards the crowd, and the people to be selected looked forward to being selected. Some of them boldly raised their heads and looked at Su Wan, showing a timid smile, and a bit of flattery.

Su Wan frowned and picked out a little girl with a bun hairstyle, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a tender face and eyes as clear as spring water, standing quietly in the corner.

Su Wan said softly: "What's your name?"

The little girl looked at Su Wan in surprise, but quickly reacted and said crisply: "Madam, my name is Xiaoyue." She was very good at seizing opportunities and talking about her strengths: "I can clean, sew, and serve people." She blinked and raised a finger: "I still eat little, two meals a day, and half a steamed bun is enough for each meal."
