Gu Immortal Returns

The painful experiences in the past made me feel scared. I lay on the bed and asked Mei Hua to put down the bed curtains, hiding under the quilt and not daring to come out.

Wu Huo did not leave, he stayed at the inn where I was.

Wu Huo didn't dare to disturb me at will, so he began to arrange all my affairs at the inn, including my daily meals.

Wu Huo found the best restaurant chef in Sheng'an City and came to the inn to cook for me.

I was still hiding in bed, afraid to go out, let alone listen to the sounds outside.

Meihua knew that I didn't want to go out and didn't want to see Wu Huo, so she went directly to Wu Huo and told him that I wouldn't summon him or let him come to see me.

Wu Huo knew that I didn't want to see him, so he didn't dare to come in and disturb me.

Until the next day, I didn't eat or go out.

Wu Huo was really worried about my health, so he found Meihua and told Meihua that he must let me eat something, otherwise I would get sick.

Plum Blossom is also very anxious. Since Wu Huo came yesterday, I don't even pay attention to Plum Blossom anymore.

Wu Huo thought at this time that I was going to Qing'an City.

"Go and tell your lady if she still wants to go to Qing'an City?"

Mei Hua immediately thought that I was in a hurry to go to Qing'an City and immediately came to my room.

She said nervously through the bed curtains
  "Miss, Mr. Wu asked me to ask you, when will we set off to Qing'an City?"

I immediately thought that as long as I left Shisheng'an City, I could avoid Wu Huo

"We'll set off now."

Meihua heard me speak and said happily: "Okay, Miss, I will make arrangements now. You have something to eat first, and we will set off immediately."

Mei Hua immediately had the food brought in and placed it on the table.

"Miss, this is made by Baifulou in Sheng'an City. It's a dish that Mr. Wu just asked the chef there to cook."

I looked at the food on the table.

When my brother and I first came to Sheng'an City to beg for food, we passed by Baifulou and smelled the aroma of the food inside. I looked at Baifulou and my mouth watered with greed.

My brother looked at my pitiful look and told me that when he makes money in the future, he will definitely bring me to Baifulou for dinner every day.

Later, my brother's cloth shop opened, and our lives improved. My brother would always take me to Baifulou for dinner.

I sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and put the food in my mouth.

When I was arrested, I didn't eat for several days. Thinking of the food in Baifulou, I felt very sad.

Tasting the familiar taste, tears could no longer be controlled.

I must see my brother, so I ate quickly

"Meihua, let's go!"

Meihua said
  "Okay miss, I'm going to tell Mr. Wu now that we can set off."

I asked Meihua to prepare a veil for me and put it on my face.

Then he followed Mei Hua out of the inn door.

Wu Huo stepped forward.

"Don't worry, miss, I've made all the arrangements on the way."

I got on the carriage and watched the carriage move slowly.

I opened the carriage curtain and walked towards the outside of the city.

Many people from Wu Huo and An Yewei followed.

Although I'm scared, I also know that Wu Huo doesn't dare to do anything to me now.

Listening to the sounds outside, I actually saw Wu Huo leading the way on horseback.

I asked to the plum blossoms beside me

"Meihua, why is Master Wu with us?"

"Miss, Mr. Wu is here to take over Sheng'an City this time. He happens to be returning to Qing'an City. I will ask Mr. Wu to send you safely to Qing'an City."

"You mean, Master Wu will always follow us."

Plum blossom nodded.

Although I don't want him to follow me, there is nothing I can do now.

I rarely got off the carriage along the way. Wu Huo knew that I didn't want to see him, so he basically wouldn't appear in front of me.

With Wu Huo's arrangements along the way, I arrived at Qing'an City safely. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the gate of Qing'an City, I saw Sheng Hongzhang who was about to leave the city for business.

Since Jin Lan's death, Sheng Hongzhang has not renewed her relationship and has been single.

Arriving at Qing'an City, Wu Huo stepped forward to talk to the defenders.

The carriage stopped momentarily.

I opened the curtain and looked outside.

I saw Sheng Hongzhang standing up and passing me.

The moment I saw Sheng Hongzhang, my heart started beating hard again.

In his mind, there were pictures of Jin Lan and Sheng Hongzhang together.

Sheng Hongzhang seemed to notice that I was looking at him, and turned to look at me.

He still looked the same as before. Even though we hadn't seen each other for more than a year, he still looked polite and polite.

Sheng Hongzhang was followed by many guards. Judging from his clothes and the guards behind him, he must have made a lot of money in the past year or so.

When I was in Sheng'an City, I already found out that he had been with his brother for more than a year and helped him a lot.

I blame myself very much for Jin Lan's death, so when I saw Sheng Hongzhang, I felt very guilty.

Sheng Hongzhang naturally didn't recognize me and hurried past me on horseback.

With Wu Huo leading the way, our group entered Qing'an City smoothly.

I directly asked Wu Huo to send me to the courtyard of the Xu family.

Mr. Xu has two courtyards in Qing'an City. He has explained it to me in the letter and told me that after I arrive in Qing'an City, I can just go directly to the courtyard and he will have someone arrange it in advance.

There are two sets of houses, one in the south of the city and one in the north.

I chose the south of the city because the courtyard in the south of the city is relatively far away from the Taoist temple. It is difficult to see this courtyard from the mountain of the Taoist temple.

Sure enough, Mr. Xu cleaned up the courtyard. When I came to the door, there were already servants waiting outside.

When I walked into the house, Wu Huo kept walking in front, fearing that I would be in danger.

"Miss--"

There were more than twenty maids and servants, all waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.

When they saw me coming, they knelt on the ground one after another
  After I asked them to stand up, I said directly to Wu Huo
  "Master Wu has worked hard along the way. I should really thank Master Wu, but I feel unwell and I can't entertain Master Wu today."

Wu Huo naturally understood what I said and immediately said: "It doesn't matter, I happen to have official business to be busy with. Miss Xu, I will take my leave first."

I nodded, and after Wuhu turned around and left, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course I know that Wu Huo's An Yewei has spies everywhere, and our Xu family can't hide it from his eyes, but I still want to come here and find my brother immediately.

Meihua didn't find out where her brother was in Qing'an City, so I could only ask the housekeeper around me to look for him.

Because the courtyard was cleaned in advance, Master Xu had people repair it in advance before we came, so I moved directly into Xu Mansion.

The house was well managed by the housekeeper. I did not go directly to the courtyard to rest, but came to the hall.

The butler's name is Dasheng. He is in his fifties. He looks honest and honest, but also very capable.

The housekeeper stood in front of me and told me about the situation in the house.

I waved my hand directly and told the housekeeper that I was looking for someone.

I asked him to go to the city to find a man named Lu Nanchen.

After the housekeeper heard me say my brother's name, he immediately asked, "Miss, is the Lu Nanchen you are looking for coming from Sheng'an City?"

When I heard the butler's words, I felt like I knew my brother, so I immediately asked, "Do you know Lu Nanchen?"

"Yes, miss, our mansion has business dealings with Lu Nancheng. I have met Mr. Lu many times, and we are considered familiar with each other."

"Then where is he now? Where does he live?"

"He lives in the Taoist temple on Beishan Mountain. I heard people say that he came to Qing'an City to find his sister. The last place his sister appeared was in Qing'an City, so he has stayed here."

"Taoist temple?"

Thinking of the previous scene at the Taoist temple, I never wanted to go back, but when I heard the housekeeper say that my brother was there, I was still very anxious.

The housekeeper asked: "If Miss wants to find Mr. Lu, I can send someone to place an invitation and invite him to the house to talk."

"No, steward, you go prepare your horse. I want to go to the Taoist temple on the mountain."

"Miss, you have just come back, you should take a rest first, I will send someone to make arrangements." (End of Chapter)
