Otherwise, no matter how smart and sharp Zheng Dingyi was, it would be impossible for him to survive safely until now at the young age of only seven years old.

After hearing this, Du Yusheng shook his head gently and sighed helplessly:

"Although the emperor deposed the crown prince, it was because of Duke Zheng's outspoken admonition that the matter was made public. Therefore, he bore a grudge against the Zheng family and ordered that the three generations of the Zheng family be banned from entering the officialdom."

"I have always respected Lord Zheng, and I can only give the Zheng family some care in daily life. However, Zheng Dingyi is as resolute as Lord Zheng. He is unwilling to accept my favor for nothing, and is only willing to exchange it with labor. Naturally... I know he is actually worried about getting in trouble with me."

After all, making the emperor so resentful that he ordered the three generations of the Zheng family not to serve as officials almost ruined the Zheng family's future!

Even after the crown prince was deposed, there was no sign of the emperor loosening his ban. It was obvious that he hoped that the Zheng family would perish together with the deposed crown prince.

At this critical juncture, if anyone dares to get close to the Zheng family, he is undoubtedly seeking death.

Although Zheng Dingyi was still young, he was intelligent and had already realized how difficult it was to survive. Therefore, he only learned some skills in identifying herbs from Du Yusheng and lived in seclusion in the countryside with his sister.

They usually made a living by picking herbs in the mountains and trading them with Yuhetang, and they never directly accepted Du Yusheng's generous gifts.

This time, the reason why Zheng Dingyi left the village was because he believed that six years were enough to dilute the memory of the past. He believed that no one would still be brooding over what happened to him back then, so he plucked up the courage to go out and seek new opportunities.

Among them, Gu Qinlan's favor and trust became the source of his courage to shamelessly ask Du Yusheng for help.

Du Yusheng knew this very well, and Gu Qinlan also knew it without a doubt.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but sigh softly, and said with emotion: "Mr. Zheng's integrity and honesty are awe-inspiring. No matter what, Zheng Dingyi will become a great man in the future."

Du Yusheng originally thought that Gu Qinlan made such an evaluation because Zheng Dingyi was working for her at the moment. However, only Gu Qinlan herself knew that Zheng Dingyi's future achievements were not just because of her, but from Zheng Dingyi's own tenacity and wisdom.

however……

In her previous life, she did not have a deep understanding of Zheng Dingyi, but before her rebirth, she had heard that Zheng Dingyi presented the emperor with a miraculous medicine called "Elixir of Immortality", which was said to make people immortal and their life span equal to that of heaven and earth...

However, is there a real elixir of immortality in the world? There must be something fishy about the elixir...

In addition, Zheng Dingyi won the emperor's favor in his previous life because of this elixir, and now combined with the death of the Duke, all of this makes people have to think deeply.

Du Yusheng felt a little confused about Zheng Dingyi's life experience, but soon she seemed to remember something and said:

"However, over the years, I always felt that there must be someone secretly protecting Zheng Dingyi."

"Guarding in secret?" Gu Qinlan was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"That person should also be aware of my existence, but neither of us has deliberately investigated the other's true identity. Therefore, since Zheng Dingyi will follow you in the future, I am afraid that you will gradually become aware of the existence of that person."

For Du Yusheng and the person secretly behind Zheng Dingyi's brother and sister, neither of them will easily uncover the mystery of each other's identity.

After all, no matter who that person was, it was obviously for Zheng Dingyi's safety and well-being. Exposing him to the sun might bring unnecessary danger.

Du Yusheng mentioned this matter to remind Gu Qinlan.

After all, Zheng Dingyi will serve under Gu Qinlan in the future, and Gu Qinlan is likely to have some contact with that person.

Gu Qinlan felt sympathetic, nodded slightly to Zheng Dingyi, and said gratefully: "I understand, thank you, Senior Brother."

Soon, Du Yunyuan returned with Zheng Huiyi, who looked very satisfied.

As soon as Zheng Huiyi stepped into the door, she couldn't wait to run to Gu Qinlan's side, opened her arms, hugged her with dependence, and said in a sweet and coquettish voice:

"Mother, every moment of our separation seems like an eternity. Do you miss Huiyi?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and gently picked her up. Just as she was about to speak, Du Yunyuan straightened his back indignantly and said angrily:

"You little brat! You really have no conscience at all! My sister bought you food and drinks with all her heart, but when you came back you only remembered your mother!"

Zheng Huiyi hugged Gu Qinlan's neck tightly, stared at Du Yunyuan seriously and confidently, and said slowly in a childish voice:

"Sister Yuanyuan, there is a world of difference between love and love."

Although Du Yunyuan expected that she might not be able to say anything good, he still couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Why is it different?"

When Zheng Huiyi heard this, her eyes immediately sparkled. She stretched out her little finger and explained solemnly in a baby voice:

"My love for my mother is pure, flawless, deep and sincere. Nothing can compare to it!"

"Of course I love you, Sister Yuanyuan, but my love for you is based on friendship. Well, just like the food in your stomach, it will slowly digest, gradually disappear, and eventually return to nothingness~"

The corners of Du Yunyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he stroked his forehead helplessly.

When the people around heard Zheng Huiyi's words, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In front of the door of Yuhetang.

Du Yunyuan pulled Gu Qinlan's sleeve reluctantly and said earnestly:

"Sister Gu, you must come and play with me often in the future!"

"Ok."

"Then, can I come to see you often?"

"of course can."

"Then the shop you promised to give me..."

Seeing the sly smile on Du Yunyuan's face, Gu Qinlan laughed in silence. Just as she was about to answer, Du Yusheng grabbed Du Yunyuan by the collar and pulled him hard:

"Just shut up! You're acting like a lunatic!"

After a short pause, Du Yusheng turned to look at Gu Qinlan and said seriously: "I will seriously investigate the matter you mentioned to me. Once there is a result, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother."

Gu Qinlan gave Du Yusheng a grateful smile, then took Zheng Huiyi into the carriage.

Then, the car curtain was gently lifted, and Gu Qinlan smiled from inside the car, and said to Du Yunyuan, who was very frustrated and firmly controlled by Du Yusheng:

"I keep my word."

"uh-huh?"

Du Yunyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he saw Gu Qinlan had lowered the curtain with a smile, and the carriage started slowly and gradually disappeared from their sight.

“Hehehe! Sister Gu really agreed readily. She is such a generous person!”

"Brother, take a look and learn something too. We are both disciples of the same master, so why is there such a big gap between us? You are so stingy, it will be difficult for you to find a good partner in the future!" Du Yunyuan said as he exaggeratedly opened his arms and gestured. He ignored Du Yusheng's gloomy face, made a face at him, and ran away skipping.
