From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 587 - 583: The Stone in the Heart Has Fallen (Part 1)

"What does the old lady plan to do?" Mu Shuangshuang asked."The old lady said she’ll invite some kind of master to perform a ritual and exorcise evil! But the soonest would be next month, when that master can come over."

"This Young Master Sun is indeed pitiful, at such a young age, just the age to communicate with others, and yet he stopped speaking."

Housekeeper Xue rambled on about a lot, then worried that Mu Shuangshuang might misunderstand, quickly explained, "I’m just rambling, Shuangshuang, Fengzi, don’t think too much."

Mu Shuangshuang nodded, signaling Lu Yuanfeng with her eyes, wondering how he viewed it.

Lu Yuanfeng directly told her with his eyes not to believe in the soul loss condition!

Indeed, the two had a good rapport.

This matter was a family affair, and Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t say much.

When they met Old Mrs. Xue, Mu Shuangshuang clearly felt that the old lady had aged a lot.

There were many more strands of white hair at her temples, it must be because of Xue Zheng’s matter.

"Old lady, Fengzi and I are here to see you." Mu Shuangshuang said.

Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s voice, a hope that even Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t understand rose in Old Mrs. Xue’s eyes.

"Girl, you came at the right time, last time you saved my Zheng’er, go and talk with him now, my Zheng’er simply ignores people."

Old Mrs. Xue was truly grasping at straws, grabbing anyone to take a look at Xue Yi.

Regardless of whether they knew medicine or not.

She just wanted some peace of mind, her eldest son was in the Capital all year round and she couldn’t see him, finally, her eldest son sent her grandson over, if she couldn’t take care of him well, what would she do?

Seeing Old Mrs. Xue’s situation, Mu Shuangshuang figured that discussing business with Xue Yi wouldn’t be settled quickly, so she might as well go see Xue Zheng.

That child was quite likable back then, if not for Xue Yi wanting to take him away, he might have stayed longer at her home.

Following Old Mrs. Xue’s directions, Mu Shuangshuang went to find Xue Zheng, he was sitting alone in the courtyard, holding a small twig in his hand, breaking it into pieces repeatedly.

Occasionally, a few yellowing leaves would float down onto his head, and he wouldn’t brush them off.

Xue Zheng did all this as if no one else was there, as if the entire space only had him.

No wonder people might mistake it for soul loss!

Mu Shuangshuang deliberately stomped her foot heavily on the ground, her shoes sticking to the leaves, making a rustling sound, yet Xue Zheng still had no reaction.

"Xue Zheng, you’re actually here!" Mu Shuangshuang pretended to be surprised.

Sure enough, the kid had absolutely no reaction.

He still ignored Mu Shuangshuang, not even sparing a glance.

Mu Shuangshuang waved a hand in front of him, thinking Xue Zheng’s symptoms were somewhat like autism she’d seen in her past life, but Xue Zheng’s condition was lighter, back in Er Gui Village, he was quite alright following her around.

Who knows, maybe he felt strange at Xue Mansion.

Steeling her nerves, Mu Shuangshuang continued, "Xue Zheng, don’t you remember me, we once picked mushrooms together, do you remember what kind of mushrooms I said you couldn’t eat?"

As she spoke, Mu Shuangshuang observed Xue Zheng’s reaction.

Originally not holding much hope, Mu Shuangshuang noticed a light flashing in Xue Zheng’s eyes.

It seemed he still remembered that in his heart.

"I said I’d take you to see taller mountains, pick more mushrooms, and hunt; have you ever seen such a big roe deer? This big..."

Mu Shuangshuang spoke while gesturing.

Although Xue Zheng didn’t speak, Mu Shuangshuang knew he was listening, every time she got excited, Xue Zheng would respond, more or less.

"Xue Zheng, how about you come to the countryside with me for a few days, and I’ll show you the life there?"

Mu Shuangshuang asked tentatively.

Xue Zheng’s gaze suddenly dimmed.

Mu Shuangshuang knew she had said something she shouldn’t have.

"Alright, alright, we won’t go!"

Mu Shuangshuang chatted with Xue Zheng for a bit longer, without realizing it, it was almost noon, and she was getting anxious as she hadn’t done her work yet.

Just then, Lu Yuanfeng and Xue Yi entered the courtyard, Mu Shuangshuang exchanged a look with Lu Yuanfeng, knowing she could leave now.

"Xue Zheng, I’m leaving now, I’ll come see you another day!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Just as she turned, her waist was embraced, just like back in Er Gui Village,

"Xue Zheng..." Mu Shuangshuang started to speak, but was stopped by Xue Yi.

"Miss Shuangshuang, don’t make a sound, let Zheng’er hug for a while."

Xue Yi himself had never seen this kind of scene, but he knew Xue Zheng trusted Mu Shuangshuang.

This sense of trust wasn’t even something he and his mother had.

Xue Yi wondered if it was because Mu Shuangshuang had once saved Xue Yi that it was like this.

After holding Mu Shuangshuang for a long while, just as her body was starting to go stiff, Xue Zheng let go of her and rushed into his room.

Mu Shuangshuang was full of confusion, what exactly was going on?

"Mr. Xue, this..."

"It’s alright, let’s talk business first, once it’s done, I’ll check on Zheng’er, if not, I might trouble Miss Shuangshuang again."

Mu Shuangshuang nodded, she truly couldn’t refuse this matter.

That child probably still remembered that incident when she tricked him last time.

This time, Mu Shuangshuang brought fifty century eggs, Xue Yi had to give her five hundred copper coins.

Those five hundred copper coins weren’t earned easily, at least when the weather turned cold, it took one or two months for the century eggs to come out.

Duck eggs weren’t easy to buy either, farmhouses had at most a few ducks, the most were just a few dozen, unlike modern times where they raise hundreds, thousands of ducks.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, when they were free, had to collect duck eggs from several nearby villages.

At this point, Mu Shuangshuang admired herself and Lu Yuanfeng, if they didn’t get rich, who would?

"Miss Shuangshuang, have you really decided to supply cold noodles to my restaurant in the future?"

Xue Yi was genuinely interested in cold noodles.

Plus, it had many ways to eat, not just cold, in winter it could be put in hotpot.

In winter it could keep out the cold, in summer it could only rely on these foods to beat the heat and open up the appetite.

"Right now is the cooperation phase, if there’s synergy, Fengzi and I will naturally deliver to your restaurant."

Xue Yi’s restaurant in town wasn’t built long ago, just in the development stage, suitable for Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng to establish themselves before expanding.

Xue Yi always had a question, he asked, "Are you really not going to cooperate with Jiu Si Xuan anymore?"

The conditions Jiu Si Xuan offered to Mu Shuangshuang weren’t bad, in fact, in some ways, Jiu Si Xuan was a partner for Mu Shuangshuang to make money.

Xue Yi was puzzled.

"Some things, if there’s a first time, there’s a second, if there’s a second, there’s a third, I gave the chance, when Miss Zheng Xiu used tricks the first time, Mr. Zheng was there."
