Chapter 241 - 241: Falling in Love with the First Man She Saw (1)
Xie Xingyun was stunned. Then, a smile appeared on his lips. “Are they so ugly that you’re crying?”
The girl nodded.
The man rubbed her head with a very obvious smile. “Then 1’11 go back and learn again.”
“…Oh.”
Xie Xingyun chuckled. “Good girl.”
After speaking, he really took the freshly made pineapple crisps back. From his rear view, he was in rather good spirits.
However, Bai Xianyu slowly clenched her heart and had a strong urge to make him stay.
As soon as this thought came to her, she took a small step back in panic.
“…Maybe I’ve been in contact with him too much recently.” Bai Xianyu was unwilling to admit another conjecture. “It’ll be fine when we are apart.”
Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l?
It would be fine when we were apart.
It could be due to habit.
She did not want to think about what this feeling of loss meant.
On the other side, Gu Yu and a guard came out with two dark circles under their eyes and happened to bump into Xie Xingyun, who had returned.
Gu Yu immediately felt guilty. Unexpectedly, the guard beside him asked, “Master Gu, have you caught all the Gu worms?”
[… Keep a close watch over them… Then I’ll let you stay with all your Gu worms forever.]
“I’ve caught all of them. I didn’t lose a single one, hahaha.” Gu Yu’s smile was a little stiff. “Xingyun, why did you go out so early in the morning?”
Xie Xingyun was in a good mood and said slowly, “To deliver breakfast.”
When Gu Yu heard this, he glanced at the item in his hand and the corners of his mouth twitched. “It hasn’t been delivered yet, right?”
“She said they were too ugly.”
GuYu,”…”
Xie Xingyun smiled. “So I took them back to remake.”
Looking at the smile on the man’s face, Gu Yu was very glad!
Fortunately, he had lost his Gu worms on this ship, and not Bai Xianyu’s ship, so it did not cause a huge disaster.
It was unknown which person had been bitten.
“Then hurry up and do it. I’ll bask in the sun.”
As Gu Yu spoke, he waved his hand and left. When he arrived at an empty space, he picked up a few jade bottles and began to place them on the deck of the ship. He took them out one by one to bask in the sun.
Of all the things to lose, he had to lose his rarest love worm. Back then, he had refined it according to the ancient books for three years before only one survived.
Even though he did not have an antidote, it was the perfect Gu worm.
If bitten, it would make the person who was poisoned fall in love with the first man she saw.
“Sigh… Forget it.”
Bai Xianyu did not take the official boat to the docks directly.
Instead, when she was near the shore, she took a small boat ashore with Bai Li and Green Pearl.
“Why do we have to separate from Third Young Master and the others?” Green Pearl was puzzled.
Bai Li replied, “That’s because it’s easy to be targeted when you’re with Young Master. All these years, the Imperial Court has sent many people to investigate the water conservancy irrigation works, but in the end, nothing came out of it. Now, there’s a murder case. Miss is Young Master’s sister. If someone tries to take revenge during the investigation, it’ll be difficult.”
“After all, this is not the capital. Isn’t there an old saying that a strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake?”
Bai Xianyu nodded.
The boat docked. There were many courtyards in Liang Province. The girls selling vegetables were all soft-spoken.
Green Pearl expressed that she understood. “Then shall we go straight to Miss’s maternal home?”
“Yes.” Bai Xianyu got off the boat and smiled. “I’ve already gotten someone to send a letter to them when we were on the ship. They should know by now.”
The Yu Residence.
The butler rushed to the main hall with the letter in his hand.
There were four women and two men in the hall. There were also a few maidservants waiting in attendance.
One of them was an old woman wearing a felt hat. A woman in her forties or fifties was sitting on a chair. Beside her should be her husband. Two little girls were surrounding her and making a fuss. There was also a man who was about twenty years old. He had a delicate face, but on closer look, he looked a little gloomy.
“Old Madam, there’s a letter from the Bai family!”
Everyone paused.
“So soon?” Old Madam smiled kindly. “Let me take a look.”
Yu Fengyan also said happily, “Mother, let me do it, you’re old and can’t read clearly, so as not to be anxious!”
“Alright, alright, alright. Come and see what’s written on it?”
The woman took it to read. Her expression was that of surprise first, then excitement. “Mother, Xianyu said that she took a ship to Liang Province. She should be here by now!”
“They’re here?” Old Madam was extremely excited. “Quickly go and tidy up Xianyu’s room. They’ve actually arrived so soon…”
Yu Fengyan smiled and said, “Looks like this child misses you quite a lot.”
The two of them were extremely excited. In comparison, the middle-aged man and young man were a little cold..
