The distillery equipnt had all been set up.
The layout of this distillery was almost identical to the one in Xiang City.
Yun Jiao looked around and found no issues, so she instructed the workers to start operating.
Jiang Youzhi patiently accompanied her by her side.
Yun Jiao hadn’t worked in a long ti, and as soon as she started, she worked tirelessly.
She grabbed a quick bite for lunch and continued guiding the workers in operating the equipnt.
It wasn’t until evening that Yun Jiao left the distillery.
The distillery was located on a small street with no stores, mostly residential houses.
The carriage went out from the small street, and just as it turned a corner, a sedan chair appeared in front.
The sedan chair seed to be turning a corner too, and upon seeing the two carriages and nurous personal soldiers and guards, the sedan chair bearers quickly pulled over to the side.
The guards escorted the carriage past the sedan chair, and just then a gust of wind blew.
It was springti, so the carriage and sedan curtains were no longer padded, usually made of light silk or sheer curtains that allowed light, preventing stuffiness inside.
The wind blew the curtains up.
Yun Jiao happened to glance outside.
And she saw the man sitting inside the sedan chair.
Though she only caught a side profile from above, Yun Jiao instinctively gasped upon seeing the face, "Dad—"
The man inside the sedan turned his head at the sound of "Dad."
Their eyes t.
The man inside the sedan chair exclaid, "Jiao Jiao!"
The carriage continued moving forward, and in a mont, the man was no longer visible.
Yun Jiao anxiously stomped her foot, "Stop the carriage!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, she lifted the curtain and jumped down without waiting for the driver to set up the footstool.
Gu Yuheng also scrambled out of the sedan chair, his face full of excitent, tears welling up as he watched Yun Jiao jump down from the carriage.
Yun Jiao was in such a hurry that she twisted her ankle.
Gu Yuheng was several ters away but instinctively leaned forward, reaching out as if to support her.
Yun Jiao could no longer hold back her tears. She rushed over but stopped short in front of Gu Yuheng, "Dad—"
Tears stread down Gu Yuheng’s face as he trembled, "Jiao Jiao—"
Jiang Youzhi, who was ahead, heard from the guards that Yun Jiao had gotten off and hurriedly stepped down from his carriage as well.
After walking a few steps, he stopped.
The middle-aged man with tears streaming down his face in front of Jiao Jiao, Jiang Youzhi knew without asking it must be Yun Jiao’s biological father.
Their features were so alike that apart they might not seem similar, but standing together, it was obvious they were father and daughter.
Gu Yuheng really wanted to hug her as he did when she was little, but this was on a public street, which wouldn’t be appropriate.
He wiped away his tears and turned to the servant following the sedan, saying, "You go back first, tell Madam I t the daughter of an old friend."
"We’ll have a chat and catch up, I’ll be ho a bit late tonight."
The servant nodded and agreed, the sedan chair bearers lifted the sedan and left.
The excitent that Yun Jiao had felt monts ago was as if suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water.
Madam?
Daughter of an old friend?
Monts ago, she had been too caught up in excitent to closely observe Gu Yuheng, but now she noticed he was wearing an official’s robe!
The robe was red.
In the Great Chu Dynasty, officials ranked seventh and above wore green, fifth and above wore red, and third and above wore purple.
In just a few years, not only had she beco the daughter of an old friend, but he had also beco an official!
Was it because of his official status that he abandoned his wife and child?
Yun Jiao’s expression involuntarily turned cold.
