Gu Yundongâs interest was piqued. âWhat rumor?â
âEldest Young Masterâs nanny is actually Old Master Xinâs woman. Her status is even higher than ordinary concubines. I heard that when Old Master was young, he went out to discuss business and brought this nanny along.â
Xue Rong said, âAlthough the nanny serves Eldest Young Master, she often enters and exits Old Masterâs study with the excuse of reporting Eldest Young Masterâs situation.â
Gu Yundong could not help but pause. This gossip was a little big.
âIs the nanny beautiful?â
Xue Rong was speechless. Wasnât Missâs focus a little off?
However, he still shook his head honestly. âShe canât compare to Masterâs concubines.â
Gu Yundong pushed a cup of tea over. âAlright, I know what youâre talking about. Go back and take care of my father. Iâm going out for a while.â
âYes, my lady.â
Gu Yundong left the inn and returned not long after. His expression was obviously relaxed.
In the following days, she didnât leave the inn much. She spent most of her time by Gu Dajiangâs side. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing that his health was improving, the smile on Gu Yundongâs face became lighter.
When he recovered, they could go back.
Half a month later, Gu Dajiang could already go downstairs for a walk. Although it was still unnatural, it was a luxury for Gu Dajiang, who had been cooped up in his room for nearly a month.
Gu Yundong helped him down. Standing at the entrance of the inn, Gu Dajiang heaved a sigh of relief.
âIn two days, letâs go to the Yu family to see Uncle Yu and the others.â
Ever since that day, Gu Yundong did not go to the Yu family again. Instead, she let Xue Rong make two trips and mentioned Gu Dajiangâs injury.
Grandpa Yu wanted to come over and take a look, but he was stopped by Xue Rong. It had not been peaceful recently. Gu Yundong had instructed him not to go out as long as possible, especially since this inn was very close to the Xin residence.
âWhy do I feel that something is amiss?â Gu Dajiang suddenly said. âThere are many people on the streets.â
Before Gu Yundong could say anything, the waiter beside him came over and nodded. âThatâs right. For some reason, there have been a lot of people these past few days. Our innâs business is doing well. I thought there was something happy to celebrate in the city, but I didnât hear anything after asking around.â Gu Yundong laughed. âSomething happy? A storm is coming.â
With that, she helped Gu Dajiang in and found a seat in the hall to eat.
The waiter touched his head and looked at the bright sun outside. âWhere is the storm coming from? Why donât I understand?
Xue Rong thought, if you understand, you can be the shopkeeper.
On the other hand, when Gu Dajiang heard Gu Yundongâs words, he asked curiously in a low voice, âYundong, do you know something? Whatâs going to happen at Wanqing Prefecture?â
âFather will know the result in two days.â
However, there was no need to wait for two more days. The next morning, the waiter ran into the hall in a panic.
Gu Yundong was coming downstairs and saw that his clothes were wet and his hat was gone. Strands of hair were stuck to his face. He was panting and his face was filled with fear.
Moreover, at this moment, there was a loud rumble outside. A bolt of lightning struck down, accompanied by the patter of rain.
As expected, the atmosphere was already appropriate.
The waiter wiped his face and said in a trembling voice, âShopkeeper, the prefecture magistrate has been arrested. The Xin residence has also been raided.â
