Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Brow Unfurrowed

Jin Zijin still had some difficulty, facing Gu Youyou’s hopeful eyes, he let out a long sigh and said, "We are fleeing for our lives, heading south."

Gu Youyou: "...?"

"Their arrangements are even more thorough than we imagined. I didn’t expect your importance as a medicine woman to rival that of the person in the mountains."

The driver outside, Yue Rujing, joined in and said, "It’s true, they really went all out. I think they’re not just after someone, it’s clear they can’t stand us and want to take the chance to wipe us out in one fell swoop."

Gu Youyou: "..."

Jin Zijin turned his head and said lightly to Yue Rujing, "Mind your own business, and keep driving properly."

Turning back, he continued to Gu Youyou, "Don’t worry for now, I’ve already had someone tell Qin Changlin that if the Gu Family comes looking for you, to say that you had an urgent medical call and had to leave in the middle of the night. Once we are safe in the south, I will take you back to Lotus Village to explain to Grandpa in person."

Even while fleeing for his life, he could be so thoughtful, and Gu Youyou slightly curved her lips into a faint smile.

"Thank you," she said after a moment’s thought, then added, "I really didn’t mean for any of this to happen."

Gu Youyou rarely took such pains to explain herself to anyone; she had never needed to justify her actions to anyone before, and even if she made a mistake, nobody dared to criticize her. But tonight, she found herself explaining repeatedly to Jin Zijin.

Those who understand me say I worry too much; those who don’t, what can they know of my pursuits?

She believed that Jin Zijin understood her intentions, whether or not he trusted her was out of her control.

Perhaps because of Gu Youyou’s repeated explanations, even a skeptic might be moved. Finally, Jin Zijin relaxed his brows.

"Fortunately, we are both unharmed. It’s also my fault, knowing well that there was something off about the Gu Family, yet I still let you go."

For Gu Youyou, the risk she took wasn’t for nothing. It lured out two uncles with wolfish ambitions and unexpectedly revealed that her parents’ deaths ten years ago were related to the Gu Family’s third son, and possibly directly caused by him.

Grandpa had said if she ever got the chance, she should take her revenge. The thought that this person might be the Gu Family’s third son weighed on her mind.

How was she supposed to take revenge? If she revealed the ugly truth, it might just anger Grandpa to death. And if she caused misfortune to befall the Gu Family’s third son in secret, seeing his son suffer, Grandpa would surely be worried too.

With worries clouding her mind and furrowing her brow, Jin Zijin brushed back the hair from her forehead, gently smoothed out her furrowed brow, and said softly, "What else is there that’s worrying you so?"

In truth, he wanted to scoff, ’You know what it’s like to be worried?’ but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to mock her.

Family scandals should not be publicized. With such a shameful incident in the Gu Family, Gu Youyou was embarrassed to talk about it.

The point was, even telling him wouldn’t help.

Deciding how to take revenge was indeed a tricky matter.

As she glanced to the side and saw Abao sitting upright, Gu Youyou suddenly asked, "How did you find it?"

Having been knocked out, she thought something had happened to Abao as well.

Jin Zijin replied with a light smile, "It was it that led us to you."

That was the reason Jin Zijin had asked Gu Youyou to bring Abao along. He knew Abao had this ability.

Of course, without Abao, he would also have found Gu Youyou, it just would have taken longer.

...

"They still managed to escape. Once they cross Tongguan, we won’t have a chance. Should we pursue them?"

The heavy rain blurred vision, and the tracks left by the carriage were quickly washed away; to find them again and guess that their next stop would be Tongguan was no easy task.

But Zhuo Qing raised his hand and said, "No need to pursue."

Not going to chase them? With so many people dead, how could they give up so easily?
