Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Winter Night Is Disturbed and the Heart is Quiet

In November, it dawned late. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Gu Wanyan was thinking about going to visit her master today, and she had already gotten up to get dressed and wash before dawn, and then went to the kitchen to cook herself. She tossed until the sky was completely bright, and then she stepped out of the kitchen while wiping the beads of sweat.

When she arrived at Yunji Hall, Xu Dong was waiting for her at the door.

Gu Wanyan opened the curtain of the carriage and smiled at Xu Dong, and then jumped down with the food box.

Xu Dong stepped forward to take the food in her hand, checked it, and said with a smile: "What did you make delicious, so heavy." ā€

Gu Wanyan smiled mysteriously: "You also have your share." ā€

After that, the two tacitly walked side by side.

The lord's living room in Yunji Hall is an independent courtyard in the southernmost part of the hall. There are many flowers and trees, and the air is the freshest, which is very suitable for patients to recuperate.

"How is my father?" Gu Wanyan rarely walked to the depths of Yunji Hall in the past, and when it was fresh, he looked around as he walked.

Xu Dong said: "Gu Lao recovered quickly, and now although he can't speak smartly, his mind is clear. It's just that the entire right half of his body is still unconscious, and the left half of his body can move freely - I have arranged appropriate recovery training for Gu Lao every day. ā€

When Gu Wanyan heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Xu Dong felt Gu Wanyan's sudden slowdown, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. I saw Gu Wan's face heavy, his head bowed slightly, his eyes dim, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

She lowered her eyes and looked at her slowly moving toes, feeling a little reproachful in her heart.

Gu Wanyan realized that she hadn't asked about her master's condition for a long time, and she rarely thought of the old man who lived in Yunji Hall.

As soon as she heard Xu Dongyi, she knew that the old man had recovered so much, so while the blockage in her heart was gone, she felt more guilty.

Yes, she admitted that her life was full of so many complicated and tedious big and small things, and she completely forgot to take the time to think about this old man who did his best for the Gu Mansion.

Xu Dong seemed to know Gu Wanyan's thoughts very well, he looked ahead, and said lightly: "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself. You have been worrying about Gu Fu all these days, and there are more and more things - Gu Lao, he will understand you. ā€

Gu Wanyan nodded thoughtfully, and Xu Dong stopped at this time.

She looked up again and saw that the two had already walked to the master's residence.

The door to the courtyard was wide open, and when I looked through the door, I could see that the snow from yesterday was still on the trees, and it was white.

The two of them entered the courtyard, and at this moment the second lady had just pushed the old man who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair out of the house.

As soon as Gu Wanyan saw the old man, her eyes immediately turned red.

The old man also saw Gu Wanyan.

Obviously, the old man was very happy, and when he saw Gu Wanyan, the corners of his mouth immediately raised, and the wrinkles on his smiling face became deeper. He tried to speak for a moment, but only a faint babbling sound came out.

The second lady put one hand on the old man's shoulder, beckoned to Gu Wanyan with a smile, and said gently: "Wanyan, come here, your father asked you to come over!"

Gu Wanyan was stunned, then walked over with a smile, stopped at the master's side and squatted down, and held his conscious hand: "Dad, Wanyan has come to see you." ā€

The old man nodded happily, and said vaguely "Okay, good", which made Gu Wanyan's heart more and more sour.

Xu Dong didn't know when he was already standing behind her, he raised the food box towards the master, and said with a smile: "Old Gu, this is what Wanyan personally cooked for you." ā€

Gu Lao's eyes fell on Xu Dong, but he still nodded with a smile.

Gu Wanyan got up and said to the second lady, "Erniang, I'll come." Then he took the wheelchair.

She turned her head sideways and said to the second lady: "Erniang, you rest, I'll accompany my father for a walk." ā€

The second lady smiled and nodded.

Xu Dong accompanied Gu Wanyan and the old man to the backyard of Yunjitang for a walk. Because of the snow today and the cold weather, Gu Wanyan did not forget to put on a thick jacket for the master.

The three of them paced comfortably in the backyard, and the fragrance of plum blossoms in the courtyard came to their noses one after another. Gu Wanyan's mouth never stopped, she had been telling the old man some happy things, thinking of ways to make the old man feel comfortable, and those other bits hidden in her heart - about Gu Mansion, about the jewelry store, about Madame, about Gu Mo...... she didn't say a word.

Xu Dong always had a warm smile on his face, and more often listened to Gu Wanyan quietly, and said a few words from time to time.

Although the old man could not express his feelings in words, it could be seen that he was much more energetic than before.

Gu Wanyan had been in Yunji Hall for a full day today, and it was already a little dark when she left.

When Xu Dong sent her to the door, Gu Wanyan wanted to say goodbye, but Xu Dong was not.

Before Gu Wanyan could say the word goodbye, he suddenly grabbed Gu Wanyan's arm and stared at her face with a serious expression.

Gu Wanyan rarely saw Xu Dong's appearance, she was taken aback, she hurriedly shook off Xu Dong, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Xu Donghan said with a cold face: "You have something to hide from me." ā€

Gu Wanyan was stunned, and then pretended to smile inexplicably, looking innocent: "How can there be?"

Xu Dong stopped talking, but took out a letterhead from his body and shook it in front of Gu Wanyan's eyes: "Your tone in this letter is not quite right, you want to say goodbye without saying goodbye, right?"

Gu Wanyan looked at the letter and was shocked-oh no, she thought that she would not run into Xu Dong before leaving, so she asked Yu Jin to hand over the letter to him. But as soon as Xu Dong suddenly appeared yesterday, Gu Wanyan forgot about this stubble, and forgot to tell Yu Jinxin not to give it.

She complained in her heart, stupid Yujin!

Gu Wanyan was embarrassed for a moment, and looked at Xu Dong in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Xu Dong took the letter back expressionlessly, and looked at Gu Wanyan with a cold look of "I see what you have to say", waiting for her to explain.

"I ......" She was a little short of words, and she couldn't think of any reason to prevaricate Xu Dong's questions for a while.

There was silence between the two again.

Xu Dong was helpless, and his tone finally softened: "Awkward with Gu Mo?"

Gu Wanyan thought about it, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Want to run away from home?"

Gu Wanyan simply pushed the boat down the river and nodded again.

Xu Dong stared at her for a moment, and then moved his gaze: "Where can you go alone?" Don't act rashly first, I'll help you with this." ā€

Gu Wanyan was dumbfounded, she never expected Xu Dong to speak like this.

What to help her? Help her run away from home?

But because she couldn't say that she couldn't say anything, she couldn't show the surprise in her heart, so she nodded obediently.

Then she put on her red cloak and jumped into the carriage with a wave of her hand.

===================

In the Gu Mansion, in the study, the lights were dim.

Yang Chuhe and Gu Zhangzheng were sitting across the table, both of them frowning slightly, and they didn't say anything for a long time, as if they were thinking about two or three. After about a stick of incense, Gu Yan also hurried back from outside, as soon as he entered the door, he took off his coat and hurriedly moved another chair to sit down in front of them, looking panicked.

As soon as Gu Yan sat down, Gu Zhang hurriedly spoke: "Third brother, what should we do now?" In fact, I already knew in my heart that there would be this day, but I didn't expect that when this day really came, we would ...... Hey!"

Gu Yan was calm on his face, but in fact, his heart was like a boulder weighing a thousand catties, he slowly clasped his hands, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry." Since the eldest brother chose to take over the previous matter alone, the entire Gu Mansion should have thought of it today. Loulan's law has always been strict, tax evasion is a felony, and the eldest brother's prison meal is settled. ā€

Yang Chuhe stared at the ceiling blankly and sighed: "Can we really only watch the eldest prince go to prison? ā€

Gu Zhang pounded the table angrily: "I shouldn't have listened to my father and grandfather if I knew it, my Gu family clearly has so many opportunities to find political support, but I always say that 'clan rules must not be violated......'! No matter how big the Gu Mansion is, it is just a businessman in the end. ā€

Gu Yan glanced at him coldly: "Do you have the final say in this family? It is a principle passed down from the Gu family's ancestors that you must not get involved in politics in business--the reason for this has not only been told to us once." ā€

Gu Zhangli was at a loss, so he had to shut his mouth unwillingly and sighed heavily.

Yang Chuhe patted the back of Gu Zhang's hand and said, "What's more, the eldest prince broke the law first, and the evidence is ironclad, so he should be punished." ā€

Gu Yan nodded gently, a trace of helplessness slipped through his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into bottomless despair.

At this time, Gu Wanyan also returned, she pushed the door in the night and moonlight from outside, her movements were light, for fear of disturbing the family in the room.

As soon as she entered the room, she first looked at the three of them with wide eyes, then untied the red cloak on her body and hung it aside, and said with a smile: "I have searched the entire Gu Mansion and I can't see you people, it turns out that they are all hiding here." ā€

Gu Zhang's temperament was anxious, he stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Little sister, the government has taken the eldest brother away, and the final trial result has not yet come down, so I don't know how to judge." ā€

Gu Wanyan nodded lightly as if she understood, and then tilted her head and asked, "What about my sister-in-law?"

Gu Wanyan coldly mentioned this person who everyone was about to forget, Gu Zhang and Yang Zhuhe glanced at each other and looked at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time, looking dazed.

Gu Wanyan also shook her head speechlessly: "That's it, don't care about her." ā€

She could feel it now that Liu Fengxian was just playing tricks on the Gu Mansion and not leaving, although she didn't know what else she wanted to do, but Gu Wanyan knew in her heart that according to the current situation, that woman would not bring any more trouble to the Gu Mansion for the time being. Now that I don't have time to take care of her, let's let her rub the warm bed of the Gu Mansion first.

After speaking, she looked at Yang Chuhe and said: "Izuhe, after so much, you still follow my fourth brother with one heart - anyway, you will enter the Gu Mansion Gate sooner or later, if you are not busy, you and the fourth brother will go to see your father more." I know that you will be the best daughter-in-law of the Gu Mansion. ā€

After speaking, Gu Wanyan smiled sweetly at Yang Chuhe, her eyes sincere and clear.

Yang Chuhe has always been indifferent when she encounters things, but after listening to Gu Wanyan's words, she quietly blushed. I saw Yang Chuhe bowing his head embarrassedly, and called Gu Wanyan like a complaint: "Second wife!"

Gu Wanyan just smiled, and after laughing, she looked at Gu Zhang and Gu Yan again: "Third brother and fourth brother, I accompanied my father for a day today, and I can feel that he really wants us to visit him more as children, so you should also do your filial piety." ā€

said that she was the youngest sister of Gu Mansion, but Gu Wanyan looked like an eldest sister in her face, and now everything in Gu Mansion had to be supported by her. It can be said that without Gu Wanyan's aromatherapy shop, no matter in terms of momentum or funds, Gu Fu would not be able to recover to its current situation.

Gu Yan nodded solemnly, and his face seemed to show a look of guilt because he didn't visit his master often enough.

Gu Zhang's face was anxious, and he interrupted Gu Wanyan's words: "I said little sister, don't talk about this now, the eldest brother is going to be imprisoned, this is related to the honor and disgrace of the Gu Mansion - we are talking about whether we can think of any way, whether it is money or anything, to make some remedies for the eldest brother!"

Who knew that Gu Wanyan just smiled lightly and said, "You guys sleep peacefully, the eldest brother will be fine, and the Gu Mansion will be fine." Brothers and sisters should go to bed early. ā€

With that, she left the study tired, ready to go and get a good night's sleep in the aromatherapy.
