Chapter 443: Chapter 453 The Recent Situation of the Gu Family

Three days later, they set off, just Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin.

Jin Zijin had prepared a carriage for her, and he himself acted as the coachman.

He said, "Now the weather is cool, you can’t withstand the cold."

Gu Youyou didn’t argue. After all, they weren’t fleeing for their lives. Whether they arrived a few days earlier or later didn’t matter.

Banxia helped her load the luggage onto the carriage. After saying goodbye to everyone at Jisheng Hall, she climbed onto the carriage.

The carriage looked plain on the outside, but inside, it was warm and cozy.

There was a small couch for her to rest on, the floor was covered with thick blankets, and in the middle, there was an intricately carved, hollowed-out heating stove.

This kind of stove was exquisitely made and complex, with water underneath the foundation. The smoke that emerged would go through a pipe on the side and blend into the water, making it smokeless.

Such ingenious design and sophisticated craftsmanship made her think of this phrase: "Never underestimate the intelligence of the ancients."

Outside the carriage, Yue Rujing, the martial brother, was nearly in tears.

"Senior brother, do you really not want me to go? I can work as a coachman for you!"

Jin Zijin’s voice was cool, but his gaze was gentle.

"Do you need me to remind you of all the trouble you’ve caused? Do you still remember how we last left Qingshui Town?"

Gu Youyou, sitting inside the carriage, couldn’t help but laugh.

Jin Zijin had told her about this incidence. If it weren’t for Yue Rujing finding him, the people of Xuanzong wouldn’t have located him so quickly. The reason he was beaten so severely last time was also due to Yue Rujing’s performance that angered him.

Yue Rujing felt particularly aggrieved, but seeing Jin Zijin’s insistence, he had no choice but to stay behind in the end.

Jin Zijin turned and climbed onto the carriage, sitting in the coachman’s seat.

Yue Rujing, still unwilling to give up, said, "Can I come to visit you guys?"

"No!" Jin Zijin replied coldly this time.

"Hey, it’s not up to master!"

"Even if master personally intercedes, it won’t work."

Alright, he was thoroughly discouraged.

It seemed that everything that needed to be done had been taken care of. They encountered no troublesome events on the road and reached Qingshui Town smoothly.

"The house we rented before has long expired. Let’s settle down at Jisheng Hall for now."

Gu Youyou knew everything she needed to know; Jin Zijin had made everything clear to her. The straw house they owned was now occupied by Shunzi and Erya.

After Meng Qiuju, along with Erya and the three treasures, was thrown out of the Gu Family, they moved into their former straw house.

Later, Meng Qiuju committed suicide, and only Erya and the three treasures were left.

Their suffering didn’t end with their father’s imprisonment and mother’s suicide; soon, there was news about Shunzi’s family wanting to call off the marriage.

Gu Xiaoqing also despaired and thought of suicide. But seeing her young brother, she eventually endured.

Shunzi’s family wanted to retract the marriage, yet Shunzi himself firmly refused. In the end, he still married Erya, and now they lived together in that straw house.

Gu Youyou couldn’t help but sigh that Shunzi was a man of deep loyalty and affection.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Jisheng Hall. Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin got down from the carriage.

The people here hadn’t been seen for a long time. Upon seeing Gu Youyou, Qin Changlin dropped his pen, took off his white coat, removed his mask, and rushed out.

"Oh my, Brother Jin, Sister Youyou, is it really you? If you were coming back, why didn’t you send a message ahead?"

Gu Youyou said, "It’s a surprise for you!"

"Huh...?"

She said, "Thank you, Qin Changlin, for taking care of Shunzi and the others all this past year."

"Hehe!" He chuckled awkwardly, looking towards Jin Zijin, and said, "It was Brother Jin who asked me to do this."

Jin Zijin had once asked if she thought his arrangements were inappropriate. She had replied that the wronged have their wrongdoer, and the debtor has their creditor, and Erya and the three treasures were also victims.
