The next day.

Dingguo Mansion spread the news that there are ghosts at night.

At the same time, it was also reported that Shizi's health suddenly recovered.

Some people said that there was an expert outside the world who wanted to heal the son's illness, but didn't want to show his face, which made people mistakenly think that it was haunted.

Some people also said that the ancestors of the Tu family had manifested their spirits and returned as ghosts to treat their descendants.

Some people said that there was a fairy who came down to earth and couldn't bear to let such a genius die young, so he quietly healed the son.Of course, no one believed this, and most people thought it was done by an outsider. After all, no one has ever seen a fairy, and there are only a few believers.

The rumors intensified, and there were all kinds of versions. Of course, most people just listened to gossip and joined in the fun.

This incident has also become a folk anecdote. Many years later, it has added a touch of fantasy to the life of the boy's legend.

Of course this is another story.

At this time, Tu Yu had already left the imperial capital and was heading in one direction. When she left with Xuan Yangzi, she sent Xiaocui to a small city far away from the imperial capital, and changed her face for her to prepare Regardless of her identity and property, it stands to reason that Xiao Cui will have no worries throughout her life, but Tu Yu is still a little worried and wants to take a look. After all, Xiao Cui grew up with her. Treat her like family.

Xiao Cui was an orphan, who was kidnapped and sold to the imperial capital by Ren Yazi. Yu Ruosu saw that she was pitiful, and that she was about the same age as Tu Yu, so she bought her and made her a playmate for Tu Yu, taking care of Tu Yu along the way.

Following the direction in memory, Tu Yu spent a few days to find the small town.

The small town is built along the water, with white walls and gray tiles, quiet and elegant, with a bit of gentleness that has been quiet for years, and the white walls are somewhat mottled, but it does not break the beauty, but adds a bit of historical vicissitudes, blue bricks and slates On the paved road, because of the damp, some moss grew in the gaps.

The river passes through the small town, and fishing boats, large or small, pass by slowly, either carrying passengers to visit the scenery, or waiting on the shore.

There are willows and willows on the bank, filled with misty water mist on the river, many women are washing clothes by the water, chatting from time to time, Tu Yu walks slowly by the river bank, still dressed as a knight in white, which provokes Pedestrians looked curiously.

At this moment, Tu Yu was walking, releasing her spiritual sense to search around, she was very careful, after all, she hadn't seen her for decades, and Xiao Cui changed her appearance back then, so she could only search slowly and carefully identify and compare.

"Hey, have you seen this girl?"

Several laundry women by the river looked at Tu Yu and started talking in a low voice.

"I've never seen it before. How can there be such a dress in our small Nancheng? It looks like the chivalrous women in those scripts."

"I haven't seen it either. I don't know everyone in this city, but I know a lot of people, but I've never seen this girl before."

Several people talked about it for a few words, but they didn't think it was interesting, so they changed the subject.

A somewhat chubby middle-aged woman approached them and talked about another topic.

"Have you heard that the son-in-law of the Guo family sold his own daughter, and I heard that he still sold it to such a dirty place."

"Isn't that right? I heard from my mother that the old lady of the Guo family had a lot of money back then. I heard that she came from a maidservant of a wealthy family. She was also good-looking. Later, she married a husband who was very good to her. It's a pity that her husband is so old. He died of illness at a young age, leaving only one daughter, an orphan and widow. Fortunately, the family has money and has no worries about food and clothing. Isn't this reluctant to have a daughter? In just a few years, I have wiped out my family's wealth and owed a lot of gambling debts, I never thought that I would be able to sell my daughter to pay off the debts!"

"Oh, that old lady Guo is also pitiful. Shen Ying is such an inhumane person at the stall. Now her daughter is seriously ill from anger, and her granddaughter has been sold."

A delicate-looking woman curled her lips and said with a look of disgust.

"Then Shen Ying has a good appearance, and he looks like a scholar on weekdays. How could he have guessed that there is such a person inside. I fell in love with him back then. Fortunately, my parents thought he was poor and didn't agree. , or you will be harmed!"

After speaking, he patted his heart happily.

"Really, then you should really thank your parents!"

"Isn't that right, when I heard that Shen Ying did all those nasty things, I almost kowtowed to my parents a few times!"

Several people discussed intensely, and they all expressed sympathy for the old lady Guo's family in their words.

"Do you know the name of that old lady Guo?"

A beautiful female voice came from behind them. The people who were talking were taken aback. They hurriedly turned their heads and saw the girl in white standing behind them. She stood there silently for an unknown amount of time. This sudden sound almost scared people to death.

The fat middle-aged woman frowned, her tone a little displeased.

"Girl, what are you trying to do by running behind us in such a sneaky way? I don't know if it will scare others!"

The rest of the people also followed suit.

"That's right! You don't even look at us, but we are all by the river. What if you are so scared that you fall into the river?"

"Oh! This cold sweat is frightening! How can you do this, girl!"

"Sorry, I was a little excited just now, and I scared a few of you. It's my fault. Please forgive me."

Tu Yu apologized in embarrassment. Hearing the old lady Guo who these people were talking about, she had an intuition in her heart. I kept asking, but I didn't expect to scare people.

"Forget it, you didn't mean it, so I don't blame you!"

The middle-aged woman waved her hand generously, and then looked up and down Tu Yu suspiciously, just in time to faintly see Tu Yu's face from bottom to top.

I couldn't help but admire some in my heart.

Ouch, this girl looks so pretty!

The temperament is also good, looking like a fairy!

It was the first time in her life that she saw such a beautiful girl!
"I don't know how many of you know the name of that old lady Guo?"

Seeing that several people were distracted, Tu Yu couldn't help asking again.

Several people came to their senses, and the middle-aged woman answered first.

"I know, I know! Then Mrs. Guo's name is Guo Xiaocui!"

The rest of the people spoke in agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes! I remember it too, it's the name!"

"Hey, if you say that Mrs. Guo really has a hard life..."

"..."

Hearing the words of several people, Tu Yu's heart sank.

For a moment, she was sure that Mrs. Guo was Xiaocui. When she heard that Xiaocui was not doing well, she felt a little uncomfortable and became even more anxious.

"Please also tell me, where is Mrs. Guo's residence?"

"Girl, what does that have to do with Mrs. Guo? You have to be careful, the son-in-law of the Guo family is not a good person. You better not have anything to do with them as a girl, or when will you be shackled by Shen Ying?" The three tricks were cheated and sold without knowing it!"
