Gu Yundong walked towards her room. Seeing that he was still standing there, she raised her eyebrows and said, âCome in. Donât you have something to tell me?â
Xue Rong lowered his head and followed her into the room. He carefully closed the door.
He even went over to pour a cup of tea for Gu Yundong. This person had really been professionally trained.
âMiss, you said that you have a clue about Bai Muzi. Were you referring to the Xin family?â
Gu Yundong thought that he indeed knew.
âI were. Why? Are you trying to persuade me to give up? Do you think itâs impossible to get Bai Muzi from the Xin family?â
Xue Rong thought for a moment. âItâs indeed impossible to obtain Bai Muzi from the Xin family, because it is no longer in the Xin family.â
Gu Yundong suddenly stood up from his chair. âWhat did you say?!â
Xue Rong said, âThere was indeed a Bai Muzi in the Xin family. However, three months ago, the eldest young master of the Xin family suddenly fell ill, and Bai Muzi was used by him.â
What he didnât say was that it was also because of that illness that two servants were killed in the courtyard of the eldest young master of the Xin family. The rest were sold, and he was one of them.
Gu Yundong frowned fiercely. Two to three months ago, didnât that mean that it was gone before Dr. Song wrote to her?
Communications in this era were so inconvenient that the information lagged for so long.
âYou promise, no more?â
Xue Rong knelt down. âI can swear that I didnât lie to you just now.â
âAlright, get up. I donât mean to question you.â Gu Yundong rubbed her temples and sighed inwardly.
However, Xue Rong still knelt on the ground and had no intention of getting up. Gu Yundong frowned. âWhy? Is there anything else?â
âMiss, I know that Old Masterâs injury was caused by the Second Young Master of the Xin family.â Xue Rong lowered his head. âMiss, do you want to avenge Old Master?â
âYou donât think I can do it?â
Xue Rong pursed his lips. Hearing Gu Yundongâs words, his body trembled and he hesitated for a moment.
He shut his mouth and did not say anything else.
Gu Yundong was so angry that she almost laughed. âXue Rong, I know that you used to serve the eldest young master of the Xin family. The Xin family is rich and has many rules. There are also many demons and monsters inside, and there are endless open and hidden conflicts. I understand that youâve developed a cautious personality, but Iâm not the Xin family. Thereâs no need to hide anything, and you donât have to be afraid that Iâll be unhappy if I hear it. I hope you can be straightforward. I wonât blame you.â
Xue Rong was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly in his heart.
After a long time, he nodded slightly. âI donât think you canât do it, Miss. Itâs just that the Xin residence is far larger than what the outside world sees. The inside is complicated. Not only does it have the prefecture magistrate as its backer, but it also has someone in the capital and even⦠In short, it wonât be easy for Miss to deal with Second Young Master.â
Gu Yundong sneered. After saying so much, didnât he still think that she couldnât do it?
Indeed, if she was alone, she would consider it carefully. After all, dealing with the Xin family was not the same as dealing with the Gu family. But didnât the Xin family want to die? She could give them a push.
âAlright, I know what youâre saying. I know what to do. Go back and take care of my father first.â
Xue Rong felt that Miss would not let the matter rest, but he could not say anything.
In the following days, Gu Yundong focused on taking care of Gu Dajiang. It was as if he had nothing else to do other than let him recuperate.
Xue Rong had a very strange feeling. Miss seemed to have given up, but she also seemed to be planning something, but she did not do anything.
Six days later, when Gu Dajiang could walk on the ground, someone came to the inn.
