That was what puzzled Su Binglan. She had arranged for Gongsun MO to go to Thundercloud Castle because it was not involved in disputes, making it easier for Gongsun MO to lie low.
At that time, he had changed his name to Lei MO and lived in Thundercloud Castle as the Lord’s adopted son.
Lei Tongtong said, “Second Uncle was the one who occupied the castle. He wanted to obtain its makeup and perfumes’ secret recipes.”
Su Binglan understood the situation after hearing that. “No wonder. In other words, the castle is still fine, but he took over, and you two escaped.”
“Yeah, but Third Uncle’s brothers and sisters are dead.” Lei Tongtong choked up. She started to cry when she spoke of this and quietly wiped away her tears. Gongsun Mo’s heart ached when he saw his wife crying. “Don’t cry, okay?’
Lei Tongtong nodded vigorously. “l won’t. 1 don’t want you to worry, either.”
Gonsun Mo’s heart ached even more when his wife behaved so sensibly. He hated himself for being unable to protect the Lord and Lei Tongtong. Moreover, Princess Lan had already died, and Gongsun MO dared not contact anyone else for fear his identity would endanger his wife.
Lei Tongtong said, “MO would’ve been fine. He only broke his leg because of my father and me. My father was severely wounded and couldn’t escape with us, so he told MO to take me away.”
She understood everything that had happened, but Su Binglan did not. She looked at Lan Ruozhu and knew he knew about this.
Lan Ruozhu said, “Indeed, Thundercloud Castle is okay. Their makeup and perfumes are still on sale as usual. However, the capital also has access to these things. Everything seems normal. Still, no one knows there was internal strife within the castle.’
Even Lan Ruozhu did not know the reason behind the internal strife. He would not have known what had happened within the castle if Gongsun MO did not mention it.
“Others won’t discover Mo’s true identity,” Su Binglan said, “So it has something to do with the castle. Was your second uncle after the castle’s makeup and perfume recipes?”
Lei Tongtong nodded and said, “Since I’m my father’s only daughter, he wanted to give me the family business and the secret recipes to my husband. I guess my second uncle wasn’t happy about that.”
Gongsun MO added, “The Castle Lord only has one daughter, and I’m his adopted son. Everyone in the castle thought the Lord would entrust the family business to his younger brother.
“No one expected the Lord to entrust Tongtong and the business to me. He would have been okay if I weren’t there.”
Lei Tongtong became highly anxious when she heard her husband blaming himself. She grabbed his hand and said, “That’s not true. My father said his brother and the others wouldn’t have let me off if it weren’t for you.”
Lan Ruozhu added, “l think the Castle Lord had already planned everything.
Imagine how the castle would’ve treated Tongtong if it weren’t for you, Mo. Tongtong might’ve gotten mixed up in the power struggle without you.
“MO, do you think she would be suitable for that environment? I guess the
Lord only felt at ease if Tongtong is with you. He knew he could entrust Thundercloud Castle’s properties and his daughter to you without worry.”
Lei Tongtong nodded. “Yes, that’s what my father wanted. However, I don’t know how to improve upon the recipes. If I did, I could adjust the formula. Then it would be useless for my second uncle to have the recipes.”
Gongsun MO echoed, “Thundercloud Castle started with perfumes and makeup, but the person who improved and innovated their recipes was Tongtongs mother. She had unparalleled talent in these things.
“The Lord told me that Tongtong was highly intelligent as a child, but after falling ill a few times, she could no longer distinguish the smell between perfumes. Hoxuvever, she became physically stronger after recovering. Her father often said he only hoped she would be happy.”
Su Binglan said, “Your condition seems intriguing. Let me check your pulse.”
Lei Tongtong was stunned. She had called Su Binglan over to heal her husband’s leg, so she wondered why Su Binglan wanted to check her pulse instead.
Gongsun raised his eyebrows when he heard Su Binglan’s words. His heart was on tenterhooks as he said, “Is there something wrong with Tongtong?”
“It’s nothing to worry about. I’ll just check on Tongtong first.” Su Binglan discovered a problem after checking the young girl’s pulse. “Someone or something has poisoned her.”
Gongsun MO was highly nervous about his wife. “H-How did she get poisoned? The Lord had invited many doctors to check on Tongtong in the past, but they never found any signs of poison.”
Lei Tongtong was Gonsun Mo’s only concern in this world. He was only willing to continue living because of her, so he could not let anything happen to his beloved wife.
Su Binglan looked at Gongsun Mo’s current appearance and felt gratified.
‘At least he has someone to worry about now instead of letting hatred consume him. Those who care about others would want to live a good life.’
“It’s not just regular poison, but also Gu used specifically against women.”
“What?” Gongsun MO had never heard of such a thing. His face turned pale.
“Could it be related to Miao Border?” Lan Ruozhu asked. He knew the Gu came from there.
Su Binglan said, “The Gu is interfering with Tongtongs sense of smell. That’s why she can’t differentiate between fragrances. Also, she has heightened physical strength since a chronic poison in Tongtongs body suppresses the Gu t s growth.”
“She has a strong ability to adapt. Her ability to smell will recover if 1 can cure her of the Gu and the poison.”
Lei Tongtong was unafraid when she heard these things. She understood what
Su Binglan meant. “So, can I make better perfumes after recovering? Then I can earn more money and treat my husband better.”
Gongsun MO was initially worried and nervous, but after hearing his wife’s words, he said helplessly, “You silly girl.”
There was a doting tone in his voice.
Su Binglan felt the need to tell Miao Zhizhi about this. ‘Perhaps she would know where the Gu came from. After all, Aunt Zhizhi is from Miao Border and the chief’s daughter.’
“Miss Su, will Tongtong be okay?”
Su Binglan nodded. “Don’t worry. She’ll be okay. Hoxuvever, making her medicine will be slightly more complicated than average medicine, so it’ll take some time. I can be ready tomorrow.”
Gongsun MO heaved a sigh of relief, even though he did not know why he believed in Su Binglan’s words so much. It was as if she could make people involuntarily trust her.
After checking Lei Tongtongs pulse, Su Binglan told Gongsun MO, “Let me take a gander at your leg before I leave.”
She did not give Gongsun MO any time to hesitate and continued, “If you want to protect Tongtong, I must heal your leg first.”
Gongsun MO immediately shuddered when he heard Su Binglan’s words. He felt her tone was highly similar to Princess Lan’s.
When the emperor annihilated the Gongsun family, he was coincidentally not home at that time. Princess Lan was the one who saved him. However, Gongsun MO no longer had the will to live then..
