Gu Yundong stood at the door and waited for Tong Shuitao to come over with the carriage.
Hence, she immediately saw that person and immediately watched in surprise as he walked into Shao Qingyuanâs courtyard. Shen Sitian, who was standing beside her, frowned slightly.
âWho is this? He even brought two guards with him. Donât tell me heâs here to cause trouble for Young Master Shao?â
Gu Yundong shook his head. âNo.â
She thought for a moment and said to Shen Sitian, âTell Shuitao that we wonât be going to the county for the time being. Iâll go to the Shao familyâs house to take a look.â
Shen Sitian nodded and Gu Yundong strode towards the Shao family.
The two guards guarding the Shao familyâs door immediately stopped her.
Gu Yundong rolled his eyes. âYour young master is a guest at someone elseâs house, and you want to stop the master?â
The two guards looked at each other. âYouâre⦠the master?â
Gu Yundong nodded. Just as she was about to shout, she saw Ah Mao run out. âMiss, come in quickly.â
Gu Yundong glared at the two guards and went in.
As she walked in, she asked Ah Mao, âWhy is Young Master Dai looking for Brother Shao?â
âHe said that heâs here as a guest. He even planned to hunt in the mountains with Young Master.â
Hunting??
Were all the young masters of the prefecture magistrateâs family so free? They came all the way from the prefectural city to Yongfu Village just to hunt in the mountains with Shao Qingyuan? Did she hear wrongly?
As they spoke, the two of them stood outside the central room and heard faint voices coming from inside.
Perhaps hearing the footsteps outside, there was no sound from inside. Then, Shao Qingyuan walked out.
âWhy are you here? Didnât you say you were going to the county?â
âI saw that Young Master Dai was here, so I came over out of curiosity.â
Dai Wenhuo naturally knew her. When he heard this, he smiled. âMiss Gu, how have you been? My mother has been talking about it every day these past few days, hoping that Miss Gu will return to the prefectural city as soon as possible. I came here today without telling her. Otherwise, my mother might have come to look for Miss Gu.â
âYoung Master Dai, you must be joking. I heard that youâre looking for Big Brother Shao to enter the deep mountains.â
âThatâs right,â Dai Wenhuo replied. âPreviously, I heard from Young Master Liu that Shao Qingyuan often enters the mountains. Not only can he fight tigers, but entering the mountains is like entering the back orchard to him. Therefore, I wanted to ask him to enter the mountains to take a look. Miss Gu wouldnât refuse, right?â
Gu Yundong touched her chin. Deep into the mountains?
Davidâs last sentence was just a joke. Unexpectedly, she suddenly fell silent as if she was really thinking.
Dai Wenhuoâs mouth tightened. âYouâre not really refusing, are you?â
Gu Yundong looked up and suddenly smiled. âWhy wouldnât I let you go deep into the mountains? But Iâll go with you.â
David was speechless.
Shao Qingyuan frowned. âYou want to go?â
âYeah.â
Shao Qingyuan frowned even more, clearly not agreeing.
Dai Wenhuo said, âMiss Gu, this isnât too good, right? This time, we wonât be able to come out in five to six days. Itâs especially tiring. Youâre a delicate lady. Not only will it be dangerous, but youâll also suffer a lot.â
Most importantly, she would be a burden.
They were not going on an outing.
Gu Yundong looked at Shao Qingyuan with a smile. The latter surrendered in a second and exhaled slightly. âAlright, letâs go together.â
Dai Wenhuo jerked his head around to stare at him in astonishment.
âYou agree just like that? Arenât you being too unprincipled?â
Dai Wenhuoâs expression turned a little ugly. He wanted to say something, but Shao Qingyuan said, âWeâll set off at five tomorrow morning.â
