1103: Chapter 1103: Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy (7) 1103: Chapter 1103: Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy (7) Chai Huan bit her lower lip, “I belong to the young master…”
“I know,” Dou Xuei sighed, “but did you not hear what cousin said?
He has soone he likes now, and it’s probably that woman who won’t allow other won around cousin, otherwise, why would he be so ruthless to us?
Even if he resents because of my mother, but you were given to him by his aunt, how could he just abandon you?
Even if not for the monk’s face, one should respect the Buddha…”
If Yang Ruxin heard this, she would have definitely cried out her innocence.
She was being wrongfully implicated.
Chai Huan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling there might be so truth to it, “What does cousin’s sister suggest we do?”
“Cousin is alright now, we should all be happy, these three years of hardship weren’t for nothing,” Dou Xuei smiled, “But we don’t know what exactly happened during these three years, and we don’t know what kind of person cousin likes…
So, if we want to win back cousin’s heart, we need to know our enemy as well as ourselves…”
Chai Huan frowned slightly, “What would cousin’s sister have do?”
“We need to find out who is the person that hooked cousin and what kind of background she has, then decide what to do.
What do you think?” Dou Xuei’s eyebrows lifted slightly.
“Alright,” Chai Huan nodded, “I will investigate.”
“Mm,” Dou Xuei smiled, “Don’t worry, cousin probably just lost his temper for a mont; he won’t abandon you…”
anwhile, having left the inn, Gu Qingheng effortlessly mounted his horse.
“Big brother, are we heading back?” Gu Yao also mounted his horse.
“We’ve made it to this point, I would like to visit my mother’s grave,” Gu Qingheng said, looking up at the sky.
He wanted to tell his mother that he had found a wife, a very good one who could stay by his side until old age.
“In that case, we won’t be able to rush back in three days,” Gu Yao reminded.
“We’ll try our best, and if that’s not possible, we’ll send Xiaohei back with a ssage,” Gu Qingheng chuckled.
It was only a half-day’s journey from here to Tongcheng, “Besides, it’s ti I gave assurance to the Shu Family.” His maternal relatives have truly worried over him these years.
Gu Yao nodded, “The old master will certainly be happy to see big brother…”
Gu Qingheng said no more and urged his horse towards Tongcheng.
At the sa ti, Chai Huan had also set out.
The fact that she was discharged from Gu Qingheng’s service hadn’t yet reached everyone, thus she needed to make use of this opportunity to find out who the person in the young master’s heart was.
But Dou Xuei did not hurry to leave; instead, she returned to the courtyard.
“Miss, are we continuing to stay here?” The maid i Ping could not help but ask.
“Of course, we’ll stay,” Dou Xuei’s eyes flashed with a hint of shrewdness, “Why else would we return to that broken nunnery?
Go, get the hot water ready; I want to bathe…”
i Ping hurriedly turned around and left.
Gu Qingheng left Huanghua county, heading southwest, entering the region of Jiangnan where the temperature grew warr.
Finally, just before dusk, he arrived on the outskirts of Tongcheng.
For so unknown reason, after Shu Manzhi’s death, she left a letter of severance, declaring that her death did not relate her to the Gu Family, steadfastly refusing to be buried in the Gu Family ancestral grave, and even requested the Shu Family to take her son away.
But the Gu Family strongly disagreed, and this led to a standoff with the Shu Family.
It was the peak of sumr and, for the sake of Shu Manzhi’s peaceful rest, Gu Qingheng voluntarily suggested he stay with the Gu Family.
Eventually, Shu Manzhi’s tomb was placed outside of Tongcheng.
