After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

Chapter 107 Lin Xiaoxiao Wakes Up

As Gu Yu'an walked, he asked about the situation: "Xiao Tao, did you get a good look at the assailant?"

Xiao Tao trembled with fear.

Gu Yu'an: "Don't be afraid, this isn't your fault."

Xiao Tao's eyes immediately reddened: "Yes, this servant didn't see the villain's face. The villain was dressed in all black, and I only saw a pair of eyes."

Is there anything strange about this place? Is anyone injured?

"No one is hurt, this is strange..."

Xiao Tao thought for a moment: "It is a bit strange. The thug asked me what I should be careful about with a child my age?"

Gu Yu'an frowned: "So what was your answer?"

Xiao Tao shrank her neck. "I... I just instinctively said to make sure you eat well and don't catch a cold."

Gu Yu'an nodded.

Seeing that the eldest young master didn't blame her, she continued, "No one was injured. The assailant knocked us all unconscious. I suspect that the assailant managed to avoid the guards' patrols during those times and gaps."

Gu Yu'an nodded; he thought so too.

Gu Liyao: "Brother, let me see the note."

Gu Yu'an handed it over, and Gu Liyao looked at it and cursed, "Do you think my sister is some kind of object? You just lend her out like that, you have no shame!"

Just as he was about to tear up the note, Gu Yu'an stopped him: "Don't tear it up, leave it. It's handwriting; it might be useful."

Gu Liyao then folded and put it away again.

The group entered Gu Linglong's room and looked around. There were no signs of a struggle, no bloodstains, and nothing seemed amiss.

Gu Yu'an looked around the room, seemingly unsure: "Xiao Tao, come here."

"Eldest Son"

"Come and see, is the young lady missing any clothes?"

Xiao Tao came over and saw: "There are too few. We always put away the clothes we washed after they were dry."

Xiao Tao searched around as well: "Young Master, the young lady's blanket and baby bottle are gone."

That's really strange; the thug would take the child's belongings with him.

Su Xiuran was also puzzled. Could it be that he couldn't give birth to a daughter and wanted to steal her daughter because she was pretty?

Gu Yu'an also seemed to have thought of something, and went to the kitchen as if to confirm his guess.

"An'er, where are you going?"

Go to the kitchen.

Gu Yu'an went to the kitchen where the milk was kept, and sure enough, it was gone.

"What's wrong, Yu'an?"

Gu Yu'an shook his head: "If they don't want us to report it to the authorities, then we shouldn't. It's probably useless anyway. The people behind these thugs are probably people we know."

Su Xiuran was shocked: "Who is it?"

She had silently thought about many people who didn't have daughters.

"It's not clear yet, but there shouldn't be any major malicious intent, otherwise they wouldn't have thought to bring the little sister's clothes, baby bottle, and milk."

Gu Liyao: "But we can't just not look for them."

Gu Yu'an: "We must search for her. Send two groups of people to search, one in the city and the other outside the city to prevent the other side from taking your sister out of the city."

"Let's go out and look too."

Gu Yu'an comforted Su Xiuran, "Mother, just stay home and wait for news."

"No, I must go find it."

Gu Yu'an rubbed his temples, somewhat helplessly: "Then you can search in the city, but be careful."

Okay, I understand.

"Whether or not everyone has been found, they must return tonight to avoid getting separated."

"Yes"

Gu Yu'an returned to his study and wrote a letter to Chu Jingyan.

Gu Minghai would never steal his little sister. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be so careful and would even take the little sister's baby bottle.

The image of the Second Prince's strange reaction when he saw them at the Qi Prince's residence flashed through his mind. Could it be the Second Prince?

He wrote a letter to Chu Jingyan asking him to go there for him, and only after doing all that did he hurriedly leave.

The Fourth Prince and Chu Jingyan were furious when they received the news that Gu Linglong was missing, and they also sent people to search for her secretly.

The thought of the adorable Gu Linglong falling into the hands of thugs, being scolded, pinched, beaten, and crying her heart out, made Chu Jingyan feel suffocated.

He put down what he was doing and went to the Second Prince's residence...

……

When Lin Xiaoxiao woke up in the room, she was still a little confused. Where was she?

"Is the sir awake?"

The maid beside him called out.

"Where am I?"

"The master is at the Second Prince's residence. You've fainted."

Lin Xiaoxiao touched her forehead. Right, she was so angry with the Second Prince that she fainted. He actually called her a concubine?

Concubines had a very low status and were restricted by their master's household from going out at will, let alone serving as advisors in the Second Prince's household.

Lin Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't allow others to talk about her like that. She had already moved out of Gu Minghai's place. So where did this rumor come from?

Lin Xiaoxiao tried to get up, but the maid quickly helped her up, saying, "Please take your time, sir. His Highness instructed us to take good care of you."

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered: "Second Prince...did he really say that?"

The maid nodded affirmatively: "Of course, it was His Highness who ordered the doctor to be invited. He said that only the best medicine would be used. His Highness cares very much about the doctor."

Lin Xiaoxiao was secretly delighted. Had she won the Second Prince's favor by fainting?

Did he see that he was so angry he fainted and felt heartbroken?

She's probably eager to see the Second Prince right now, so her favorability towards him is definitely high.

"Sir, please drink your medicine. His Highness said you must drink it so you'll have the strength."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled knowingly, feeling quite pleased with herself, wondering if she had reached 100%.

The maidservant brought the bowl of medicine to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Please drink it, sir. It's cooled down, not too hot. His Highness said to inform him when he wakes up. After you finish your medicine, please rest. I'll go find His Highness."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay." A hint of malice flashed across Lin Xiaoxiao's face as she smiled.

So what if she's a concubine? In the end, she'll still be at his feet!

I wonder how the prince's luck is going? I'll only get my revenge after I absorb the second prince's luck and reduce him to a commoner.

Lin Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, fantasizing about what it would be like to have the Second Prince's good fortune. As she thought about it, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The guards outside the door paused. That laughter... no wonder...

The guard bowed and asked, "Sir, you're awake?"

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately stopped laughing and asked with a dignified expression, "Where is His Highness?"

"His Highness is busy."

Lin Xiaoxiao made a move to get out of bed: "It's alright, I'll go find His Highness then."

The guard looked troubled: "His Highness said he wouldn't see any outsiders at this time. He's entrusted the matter of the gentleman to me."

"Deal with?" Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.

"Your Highness intends to take me into your room?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked terrified. How could she enter the palace after being taken in by the Second Prince?

"No, no, take me to His Highness. I'll explain to him that although I admire him, this is against the rules."

If the Second Prince takes her in today, she won't be able to leave. Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly tried to find her shoes.

The guard's eyelids twitched. Had she misunderstood something?

"What are you waiting for? Take me to His Highness!"

Guard: "Sir, you've misunderstood. It's not about that."

"His Highness didn't say he wanted to take me in?"

The guard shook his head: "He didn't say."

Lin Xiaoxiao patted her chest, relieved that it wasn't true; she was terrified.

"What's that?"
