Chapter 110: Tong Sheng
Kong Rui knew that Zi Xuan must have sealed the child’s voice so that he couldn’t call for help.
Kong Rui frowned slightly and thought about it for a moment before asking, “Did you notice anyone else in the room besides her?”
The boy shook his head. “There was no one else!”
“Are you that certain?” Kong Rui was a little suspicious and confirmed again.
“That’s right! She’s been living alone for a while,” the little boy said affirmatively.
“My mother said that that woman comes to stay in Fragrant Garden for a while every year. It’s said that she’s Fragrant Garden’s boss,” the little boy said mysteriously, then added, “But I heard this from Sister Xianger.”

“My name is Tong Sheng. I’m already nine years old.”
“Alright, Tong Sheng, wait here with him for a while. I’ll be back soon, okay?” Kong Rui said gently.
Tong Sheng turned to look at the expressionless Chao Bai and seemed to hesitate.
However, Chao Bai protested first. “No! Where are you going?”
Kong Rui looked at Chao Bai helplessly as she said, “We have to find a place to stay as soon as possible. I want to look around the city.”
Chao Bai frowned and stared intently at Kong Rui as he said, “I’ll go!”
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows. “You’re not familiar with this city. How are you going to get there?”
“Are you familiar with it?” Chao Bai asked.
Chao Bai’s question rendered Kong Rui speechless.
Although she had grown up in the Imperial Capital, she had never left the palace. This time, she had returned to the Imperial Capital only a few days earlier than Chao Bai. However, she had been locked in the Li family’s house all day and rarely had the chance to walk around. Perhaps Chao Bai was right. She probably wasn’t even as familiar with the Imperial Capital as him!
Kong Rui sighed dejectedly. “Alright then! We’ll wait for you here.”
Seeing that Kong Rui didn’t struggle at all, Chao Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Alright! I’ll be back soon!” With that, Chao Bai quickly walked towards the city gate.
Kong Rui and Tong Sheng looked at each other. Kong Rui thought about it for a moment and decided to learn more about Zi Xuan from Tong Sheng.
She pulled Tong Sheng to sit in the shade of a huge rock that blocked the sunlight and asked softly, “You said that Zi Xuan, the woman who knocked you out, has been coming to Fragrant Garden frequently in the past few years?”
Tong Sheng nodded and took a piece of dry food from Kong Rui before stuffing it into his mouth. “That’s right! I saw her a few years ago, but my mother never let me get too close to those rooms, so I don’t know how long that woman stayed. This time, she saw me picking firewood in the backyard and called me over to deliver fruits.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Has your mother been in Fragrant Garden for many years?” Kong Rui asked again, wanting to know if Tong Sheng’s mother knew more.
Tong Sheng nodded. “My mother said that she has been working in Fragrant Garden before I was even born.”
Kong Rui nodded and looked carefully at Tong Sheng’s pale face. Although he was still young, he was very good-looking. His mother must be a very beautiful woman!
After the two of them chatted for a while longer, Tong Sheng yawned with a sleepy look. Kong Rui knew that he must be tired from hanging on the pillar for the past two days.
After Tong Sheng fell asleep, Kong Rui took out a brocade blanket from her storage ring and covered him with it to keep him warm.
This brocade blanket was specifically prepared for Kong Rui by a demon beast that was good at weaving. It was afraid that she would freeze outside.
Kong Rui gently touched the embroidered patterns on the brocade blanket and couldn’t help but lament, “I really miss my days in the Demon Abyss! I wonder how Kong Niang and the others are doing!”
As Kong Rui was reminiscing, she saw Chao Bai rushing over from afar.
Chao Bai quickly arrived in front of Kong Rui. “I found a place!”
Kong Rui asked in surprise, “Where?”
“Fragrant Garden!” Chao Bai said aloofly.
