Chapter 421 - 421 Reunion
421 Reunion
Li Guanfeng’s chickens and ducks were all big and tender. Needless to say, Li Guanfeng treasured them very much usually.
Other than handling the government affairs, he spent most of his time feeding the poultry. Ligui and Liming did not understand why, but they knew that Liu Sanniang definitely knew the reason.
Li Guanfeng had been paying attention to the Liu family. As soon as Liu Sanniang came home, he found out about it.
Today, Ligui and Liming were instructed to come over and invite Liu Sanniang.
Ligui felt that Liu Sanniang must know the reason. If they wanted to find out, they had to ask her.
It was almost time for dinner. Liu Sanniang told Madam Wei and went to the county office with Ligui.
Ligui drove the carriage and couldn’t help but ask. “Miss Liu, His Lordship has been acting very abnormally recently. Do you know the reason?”
Liu Sanniang responded. “Abnormal in what way?”
Ligui said, “He cares a lot about his health and his chickens and ducks.”
It was as if he was waiting for someone.
Ligui asked directly after a moment. “Who is Xiaowu?”
Li Guanfeng’s change was all related to Xiaowu. Xiaowu was a woman, but they had never seen her before.
Liu Sanniang said, “An old lover in his heart.”
Li Guanfeng did not tell Ligui and the others about his personal matter, so Liu Sanniang naturally would not tell them either. However, in order to dispel Ligui’s worry, she continued. “Xiaowu won’t harm Lord Li. You can be rest assured about that.”
Ligui was not a fool and was relieved after hearing her answer. “Thank you for your reply, Miss Liu.”
As long as their lord was safe, they did not care about anything else.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “No need.”
Li Guanfeng had invited her to dinner, probably to ask when he could see Xiaowu again.
Li Guanfeng really wanted to ask Liu Sanniang this question. The chickens and ducks he raised had been growing healthily in the past few months. They were all extremely beautiful. He could not bear to kill them. After all, his Xiaowu had yet to eat them.
But he was not a petty person. He only killed one to treat Liu Sanniang.
The fragrance could be smelled even from outside the courtyard.
Ligui swallowed his saliva and shouted., “Your Lordship, Miss Liu is here.”
Soon, Liming came out. “Miss Liu, His Lordship invites you in.”
Smelling the fragrance of meat, they were all salivating.
Li Guanfeng was in the main hall. There was a table, a small pot in the middle, and a small stove under it. The duck meat in the pot was boiling and was quite fragrant.
Li Guanfeng extended his hand and made an inviting gesture. “Miss Liu, please sit.”
Liu Sanniang sat down.
Li Guanfeng poured a small glass of wine for Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, this is the duck I raised. The meat is delicious and tender. Try it.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Thank you, Lord Li.”
The duck meat was naturally delicious. Li Guanfeng looked at her. “Miss Liu, when will Xiaowu and I reunite?”

He was getting old. When would he be able to see his beloved again?
What was he supposed to do if Xiaowu turned out to be just a child?
Although Liu Sanniang was capable, she might be just as clueless about reincarnation as anyone else. However, even so, Li Guanfeng still couldn’t help but ask.
Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng and saw that the day of their reunion was not far away.
Li Guanfeng’s expression was serious and nervous. He looked at Liu Sanniang and thought that if Liu Sanniang deliberately lied to comfort him, he would definitely be able to tell.
Liu Sanniang said calmly without changing her expression, “Don’t worry, Sir. It won’t be long.”
Li Guanfeng looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes and knew that she was telling the truth. He was relieved.
Li Guanfeng smiled. “Thank you, Miss Liu.”
Liu Sanniang smiled back. “You’re welcome.”
Li Guanfeng asked. “Is Miss Liu doing well in the capital?”
Liu Sanniang answered. “Not bad.”
When Liu Sanniang left the county office, it was already night.
Li Guanfeng went out with her. He was about to send Liu Sanniang back when he saw that Chu Yan was already waiting outside. He smiled. “Miss Liu, goodbye.”
Liu Sanniang nodded gently. “Goodbye, Lord Li.”
Chu Yan held Liu Sanniang’s hand and squeezed it. Liu Sanniang was already used to it. She said to Chu Yan, “After my brother gets married, we’ll return to the capital.”
Chu Yan nodded. “Whatever you say.”
He had come to protect her. Wherever she was, he would naturally be there.
Chu Yan sent Liu Sanniang home. When they arrived outside the Liu family’s house, Chu Yan let go of her hand and left.
After washing up, Liu Sanniang returned to her room to rest.
——
The moon was exceptionally round tonight. After Li Guanfeng returned to the courtyard, he did not feel sleepy and was thinking about what Liu Sanniang said.
He touched the rope on his wrist. The bell on it was no longer there. Unknowingly, his Xiaowu had left him for almost half a year.
Clang!
There was some noise from the backyard door. Li Guanfeng frowned and went to open the door nervously.
The moment he opened the door, he saw the figure who had fainted by the door. He was stunned for a moment before he took a few steps forward and said with a trembling voice, “Xiao… Xiaowu.”
The little girl was thin, but she looked more than 50% like Xiaowu.
Li Guanfeng bent down and carried her into the house. He had never thought that the reunion would come so quickly.
He was overjoyed, but when he saw the injuries on the little girl’s body, his heart tightened, not knowing what kind of abuse she had suffered.
Li Guanfeng fetched hot water and gently wiped the little girl’s face. This time, what he touched was real. He wiped the little girl’s palm and face clean and waited quietly for her to wake up.
He felt nervous. Did Xiaowu still remember him?
Li Guanfeng held her small hand. He didn’t know how old she was now.
His Xiaowu was very thin. Her hair was dry and looked yellow. Her face was small, and her neck was fragile, as if it could break easily. Was this girl Xiaowu?
Li Guanfeng’s heart ached. He was very sure that this was Xiaowu. Only one person could give him this feeling. During this period of time, his heart was very empty, but now, his heart was not vacant, but it ached.
Li Guanfeng didn’t know when the little girl would wake up, so he went to the kitchen to cook some porridge.
Soon, he came back to the bedside. Now that Xiaowu was back, he would never let her suffer again.
The little girl on the bed woke up at dawn. Her eyes were blurry. When she saw Li Guanfeng, she seemed a little afraid.
Li Guanfeng smiled. “Little girl, what’s your name?”
The little girl opened her eyes and looked at Li Guanfeng. She said, “I, my name is Su Xiaowu. Who are you?”
Li Guanfeng felt a little down that Xiaowu didn’t remember him, but soon, he smiled and said, “My name is Li Guanfeng. Xiaowu, you can call me Brother.”
