Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Gu Qingfeng is Truly Great
Chapter 204 -204 Gu Qingfeng is Truly Great
The things she carved out were extremely similar to those made by the ancestors of the Gu Family, as the legend goes.
Perhaps there was no need to check anything else to prove she was a descendant.
But how could he broach the subject with this child?
Gu Qingfeng took a moment to consider, then said, “I know where to find Red Spirit Jade Marrow.”
“You know?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise.
Gu Qingfeng thought to himself, hadn’t Old Man Qin already told her about it? Why did she seem so surprised now?
What was really going on?
Gu Qingfeng nodded, “I know.”
“Where is it?”
“I have it.”
Gu Qiaoqiao looked earnestly at Gu Qingfeng, bit her lower lip, and said softly, “I wonder if you, Elder, would be willing to part with it?”
“Do you know that this Red Spirit Jade Marrow is my family heirloom, meant to be passed down to my descendants?”
“I know, but, Old Patriarch, I have a piece of news, can I perhaps exchange it for that?”
Gu Qiaoqiao spoke word by word.
“You have news?” Gu Qingfeng frowned, and after a few moments, asked seriously, “What news might that be?”
“Old Patriarch, do you know that during the Republic of China era, many people liked to carry pocket watches?”
Gu Qingfeng felt a thump in his chest as he stared fixedly at Gu Qiaoqiao, nodding, “I know.”
“Then do you know about pocket watches made from jade?”
Gu Qingfeng’s body trembled, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao again.
Made from jade, the pocket watch.
In the Imperial Capital during the Republic of China era, there was only one.
He had made it himself.
As a 30th birthday gift for his wife, Lady Yu.
It was fashioned as an Organ Box.
Only he and Lady Yu knew how to open it.
Inside was a photograph of him, Lady Yu, and their child Kunkun— the only one of its kind.
Most importantly, that Jade Pocket Watch had always hung around Lady Yu’s neck, disappearing with her.
The Jade Pendant, too, was one of Lady Yu’s beloved possessions, yet it wasn’t worn around her neck but tied around her waist.
That’s why he later became suspicious of Gu Kun.
Gu Kun looked at the smiling girl across from him and muttered, “I know, but there’s only one piece.”
“I saw it on someone’s neck once. Inside was a photograph. The woman in the picture looks a lot like me, and the man looks like you in your thirties, but the person was an old lady, around eighty years old. However, she’s lost her memory and knows nothing.”
Uncle Gu hurriedly supported the shaking and excited Gu Qingfeng as he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao with a complex gaze.
What, exactly, does this child know—or not know…
After saying all this, Gu Qiaoqiao looked intently at Gu Qingfeng, “May I exchange this information for your Red Spirit Jade Marrow?”
Gu Qingfeng clutched the bedsheet beneath him tightly, and after a long while, looked at Gu Qiaoqiao almost fiercely and hoarsely said, “Where is she?”
“I won’t tell you where she is until I have the Red Spirit Jade Marrow in hand, and until you have the ability to protect her completely. But rest assured, she’s still alive.”
“She’s in your hometown, isn’t she?” Gu Qingfeng suddenly roared, unable to control his emotions.
Gu Qiaoqiao calmly shook her head, “No, she’s not. I just met her.”
“Gu Qiaoqiao, what exactly do you know?” Gu Qingfeng asked in a low voice, somewhat out of control.
“I know a little more than you do.”
“Qiaoqiao, what do you want the Red Spirit Jade Marrow for?” he asked, taking a deep breath and softening his voice.
“It has its uses, naturally.”
“Qiaoqiao, you…” Gu Qingfeng began, and then paused for a moment. After a few breaths, he suddenly spoke again, “Tell me where she is, and I will give you the Red Spirit Jade Marrow right now.”
“She’s thousands of miles from here, and you can hardly walk. How are you going to see her?”
“Qiaoqiao, do you know who that old woman is to me?”
“I’m not sure, she just muttered about having seen me somewhere before, so I can’t make a judgment.” Gu Qiaoqiao stated, word by word.
“She said she had seen you?” Gu Qingfeng’s voice rose slightly.
“Yes, she said I looked familiar to her, I think it might be related to my appearance.”
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes turned a hint of bloodshot. Today’s surprises had come one after another, and if it had been his former self, he definitely couldn’t have coped.
He looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, his lips trembling as he spoke, “Gu Qiaoqiao, why did you bring up the jade pocket watch? Where did you see the photo of me when I was young?”
“Because there is a picture of you inside the jade pocket watch, as for how I saw your picture from your youth, that I really can’t tell you.”

“Who else is in the photo?” Gu Qingfeng asked with a hoarse voice.
“A young man.”
“Do you recognize him?”
“No, I don’t.”
Gu Qingfeng’s trembling hand seized Uncle Gu, “Go get the photo of Kunkun.”
Gu Qiaoqiao’s brow furrowed.
Is there actually a photo of Grandpa here?
Unexpectedly, Uncle Gu brought over a photo of Gu Kun when he was five years old.
But still, one could vaguely make out Grandpa’s shadow in it.
Holding the photo, Gu Qiaoqiao looked it over repeatedly for a long time before finally nodding, “It’s about eighty percent similar.”
That’s it.
Uncle Gu looked at Gu Qingfeng with a pleased glance, excitedly saying, “Old Patriarch, is the First Lady still alive?”
“It might be her, or it might not. We can only be sure after seeing the person herself.” Gu Qingfeng had finally come back to his senses by now.
With complex emotions in his eyes, he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao. What else does this child know?
He then asked, “Who’s in her family?”
“Only an adopted daughter, they depend on each other for life.”
“What about her other family members?”
“I don’t know that.”
No other family?
That’s not right. If she really is Lady Yu, she should have left with Kunkun, should have stayed with Kunkun, so why would she have an adopted daughter?
He suddenly asked, “Qiaoqiao, the young man in the photo, you really don’t recognize him?”
“Hmm, I don’t recognize him.” Gu Qiaoqiao said without even blinking.
“Really don’t recognize him?” He asked again, unwilling to give up.
“Hmm, I really don’t.” After Gu Qiaoqiao finished, she shifted her gaze slightly, “That young man is your son, right?”
“Yes.”
“Is it Gu Cheng?”
“No, it’s Gu Kun.” Gu Qingfeng paused before continuing to say, “Gu Cheng is the Second Lady’s son; he is my adopted son.”
What?
Gu Qiaoqiao was abruptly stunned.
Could it be, Gu Cheng isn’t Gu Qingfeng’s biological son?
So, in her previous life, their entire family was killed by a concubine and adopted son with not a single blood relation to them?
Gu Qingfeng is truly magnanimous.
He raised someone else’s son, only for them to end up causing the death of his own biological son and his entire family.
Gu Qiaoqiao stared at Gu Qingfeng, waves of hatred surging in her heart.
She thought, it wasn’t that she was biased, it was indeed Gu Qingfeng who had brought the wolf into the house.
And then he did nothing, allowing that concubine and adopted son to create havoc.
