No matter how Qing Wu tried to guess, she never expected that Liu Anfeng was showing her a few teeth. Moreover, they looked quite terrifying, stained with dried blood.
Judging by the dark shade of the blood, they clearly hadn't just fallen out.
Looking at their size, they were obviously not children's milk teeth but rather adult permanent teeth.
"What is this...?"
Qing Wu hesitated to ask. She looked around, pondering for a while, but couldn't find the right words to express her complex feelings upon seeing such a thing.
Seeing the girl’s astonished and confused expression, Liu Anfeng raised his eyebrows and instantly felt proud. He leaned forward, offering the paper that wrapped the teeth, and when he saw Qing Wu tense up and step back, he quickly pulled it back.
"Guess whose these are?" he said with a beaming face, patting his chest proudly. "You definitely won't be able to guess!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Wu scrutinized him closely.
Liu Anfeng appeared elated, wearing an expression of triumphant pride.
He smiled widely, revealing a set of white and even teeth.
Seeing him look as if he had avenged a great grievance, Qing Wu felt her heart skip a beat and suddenly realized something. She asked incredulously, "Could it be that these belong to those two brothers?"
Liu Anfeng didn't need to think much; he knew she was referring to his twin brothers, Liu Anwen and Liu Anwu.
Upon hearing her soft question, the previously self-satisfied boy froze suddenly, then blinked in disbelief and gasped as he asked Qing Wu: "How did you know?"
Qing Wu was surprised that she had actually guessed correctly. She pressed her lips together, her delicate brows gradually furrowing. "You didn't go for revenge, did you?"
Years ago, the Wenwu Brothers spoke foul words to slander Qing Wu, and Liu Anfeng couldn't stand it, so he directly fought with them.
How could an eight-year-old boy be a match for those two brothers?
Liu Anfeng was immediately beaten until his face was bruised and swollen, and he lost two teeth.
Fortunately, those two teeth had not yet been replaced at that time, and eventually, new ones grew back. Otherwise, when the Heroic Youth smiled, he would have shown two gaps, which would have been quite unsightly.
It was precisely because the impression of that incident was too deep that Qing Wu quickly thought of the owner of the item before her.
Seeing her sister showing a worried expression, Liu Anfeng chuckled, casually raised his hand, and tossed away the things on the paper.
He intended to tell only Qing Wu about this matter; it was better for others not to know. He didn't even look at where those dirty things fell. He just whispered to Qing Wu, "Why not take revenge? They bullied you and me back then. At that age, it was fine if we couldn't fight back. Now that there's an opportunity, why shouldn't I take revenge?"
"You did take revenge. Just don't regret it when they come back to cause you trouble again."
"Don't worry. I covered their heads from behind, tied them up with a rope, and gave them a few solid hits. The teeth fell out from under the cloth bag I used to cover their heads; that's how I picked them up. No matter how capable they are, they won't be able to recognize me through that."
Liu Anfeng finished speaking with a cold smile and said, "A few days ago, when they saw me, they were rambling on again with filthy talk. I didn't immediately fight them; instead, I went home and carefully thought of a strategy before finding an opportunity to do this."
"Just be careful."
Qing Wu said with some concern.
The people from the Third Branch held grudges very deeply. If they found out it was Liu Anfeng who did it, they could directly come to the Liu Residence for confrontation. What she feared most was that they would play dirty and seek revenge on Liu Anfeng.
She wanted to say more but had just started with "you" when a voice of doubt suddenly came from beside her.
"What strategy? What care? You two, what is going on?"
Suddenly hearing Liu An Ting's voice, Liu Anfeng was startled, and even Qing Wu was taken aback.
The siblings exchanged a silent glance.
Liu Anfeng, from an angle where Liu An Ting couldn't see him, winked at Qing Wu, signaling her not to go out. He then drooped his mouth slightly, asking for her help, before slowly turning around and smiling at the approaching Elegant Youth, "Oh, it’s nothing at all. You must have misheard, right? Hehe. Hehehe..."
His forced laughter sounded a bit awkward.
Seeing this, Liu An Ting couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Qing Wu laughingly ask, "Second Brother, is it time for dinner?"
Upon hearing his sister's question, Liu An Ting naturally set aside everything else and looked at Qing Wu. Seeing her cheerful smile made him unable to help but grin, "How did you know?"
"When I was going back to my room to tidy up earlier, you said, 'I'll come call you when the meal is ready.' It’s only been a short while since then; Second Brother has already forgotten?"
As she spoke, Qing Wu stepped outside.
Liu An Ting had only been too far away to hear clearly before and was a bit confused but didn’t plan to dig deeper. Now that the topic had shifted, he focused on talking with Qing Wu and completely forgot about his earlier questions. He simply followed her outside.
Watching the two gradually walk away, Liu Anfeng finally let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly caught up with them.
The next day when Qing Wu accompanied the He Family to Wu Manor, it was quite a coincidence.
The Wu Family's grandaunt, who was also Wu Linxi's sister Wu Linyuan, happened to be there as well.
Qing Wu had heard Liu Anfeng mention this elder sister of the Wu Family before. She had a cheerful personality and was very easy to get along with. After marrying a few years ago, her husband doted on her so much that she didn’t need to worry about anything, making her even more carefree.
If there was anyone from the Wu Family who left a deep impression on Qing Wu without having met her yet, it would be this one.
The mother and daughter followed the maidservant directly to the Flower Hall.
As soon as they entered the garden gate, laughter could be heard coming from inside the house. Following that was the voice of a young woman: "Mother, you shouldn't indulge him any longer. With such a weak and helpless demeanor, how will he manage when he gets married? Just look at him; he has none of his brother-in-law's heroic spirit!"
"Yuan Sister, you..." Madam Wu sighed and then said, "Xi Ge'er, you shouldn't just focus on studying and tending to flowers all the time. You should also ride horses and go hunting with the Liu Family's Young Masters."
There was a long pause without any response.
Finally, Wu Linxi softly replied with an "mm."
"That's more like it!" The young woman's teasing voice continued, "Just look at yourself. If you're not up to it, I'll have your brother-in-law teach you another day. We can't let you go out to the countryside and end up losing to the Liu Family's Young Masters too often. That would be embarrassing for us, wouldn't it?"
Just as she finished speaking, a maid hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the room. Clearly, she was there to report something.
Before long, the mother and her two children stepped out together. Seeing Qing Wu and her daughter heading towards the Flower Hall, they made their way around the flower beds toward Qing Wu and the He Family.
Looking at the girl standing before him, delicate and charming, Wu Linxi felt an overwhelming joy in his heart, causing a faint blush to rise on his face. He called out "Qingwu" but stood there unsure of what to do next.
Madam Wu noticed Wu Linxi's demeanor and smiled even more warmly.
After exchanging pleasantries with the He Family, Madam Wu turned to Wu Linxi and said, "Take Mistress Wu around. It's her first time visiting our home; you must treat her well."
The elegantly dressed young woman beside her chimed in, "Don't neglect our beautiful guest. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time later." It was Wu Linyuan.
Her words carried a deeper meaning.
Madam Wu was engaged in conversation with the He Family but kept an eye on her children. Upon hearing this, she quickly understood and took advantage of a pause in her conversation with the He Family to give her daughter a playful glare.
Wu Linxi had not initially grasped the implication of his sister's words but began to think it over after seeing his mother's reaction.
After a moment of realization, his face turned even redder, including his ears.
They were tacitly understanding each other over there. At first, Qing Wu didn't feel anything unusual. After pondering Wu Linyuan's words carefully, she suddenly had a flash of insight and realized the chilling implication behind those words.
The so-called "you will suffer in the future," how did it sound so much like... so much like... after marriage...
With such a blatant reference to Wu Linxi, could it be that he already knew the plans of both families?
Qing Wu stared blankly at the shy and bashful young man. She saw him with a shy gaze, a smile on his lips, and an expression filled with seven or eight parts anticipation and complete joy.
"Qing Wu, we, um, I am, I want to take you for a walk, how about that?" The young man said very softly. Compared to usual, he seemed even more bashful and uneasy.
Hearing the affectionate "Qing Wu" and seeing his cautious demeanor, Qing Wu's feelings were quite complicated.
At this moment, the first thought that popped into her mind was that she was glad Huo Yun'ai was not here.
Otherwise, if he saw this scene...
She feared that even ten sets of teacups would not be enough for him to break.
