Chapter 25: Brothers
Chun Tao, whether in height, physique, face shape, or even gait, closely resembled Dongyang Lady. Their temperaments differed slightly, but unless the two stood side by side, it was impossible for an outsider to discern who was who.
Granny Li said, "Miss, Chun Tao and I will return to Kun City first. Once you’ve finished your business, we will meet there."
With that, Granny Li took the disguised Chun Tao and departed.
Unexpectedly, as they walked past Qin Sang, Chun Tao suddenly stopped, looked at Qin Sang, and smiled. "Mr. Qin, may I ask what kind of wood was used to craft that staff of yours? Its luster is so bright. My younger brother at home also loves to play with staffs, but unfortunately, he has been weak and sickly since childhood, and our parents never allowed it. I was thinking of bringing one back for him as a gift this time."
Qin Sang was taken aback, not understanding why Chun Tao was asking about this.
Noticing the displeasure on the old woman’s face, Dongyang Lady didn’t intervene and replied, "Ms. Chun Tao, this staff is made from the heartwood of ironwood, which grows in the southern Muzi Kingdom. If you find merchants from Muzi, you should be able to purchase one."
"My little brother would surely love it. I thank Mr. Qin on his behalf."
Tears welled up in Chun Tao’s eyes as she covered her mouth and smiled before following Granny Li out.
As she was about to board the carriage, Chun Tao nearly slipped, but Granny Li quickly caught her.
