Chapter 822: Chapter 816: The New Love Affair

Jin Zijin, by now, had guessed the whereabouts of Gu Youyou and Jin Ziyuan and was currently galloping towards the East Sea.

Another person, faster than him, had already arrived—that was Searcy.

She had completely enslaved Gui Yunxi, having endured him for so long; there was no reason not to endure a bit more to get the antidote.

He was so young and hadn’t even taken a wife yet; he didn’t want to die.

They had spent the night in the forest, and on the second day, Searcy robbed a carriage, with Gui Yunxi still acting as her coachman.

After several days of travel, they finally found the inn where Gu Youyou was staying.

Just as Gu Youyou was about to leave, she saw Searcy, which made her shiver with shock.

Shouldn’t she be at the Lin Residence, taking care of those little treasures she had raised? What was she doing here?

Feeling her change, Jin Ziyuan, who was behind her, followed her gaze downstairs.

There stood two men, neither of whom he recognized.

"What’s wrong?" he asked.

"An acquaintance," Gu Youyou replied.

After saying this, she went downstairs.

Searcy turned her head and saw her; seeing Gu Youyou dressed as a man but in good shape, she finally relaxed.

She stepped forward and asked, "Weren’t you robbed by bandits? How did you end up here? You don’t look like you’ve been robbed."

Gui Yunxi, following behind her, then realized the person Searcy had been chasing after all this time. No wonder he was in such a hurry—it was because he thought his friend had been robbed by bandits.

Oh no, he thought his friend had been robbed by bandits.

"How did you get here?" Gu Youyou looked at the person behind her and asked, "And who is this?"

"My hired coachman," Searcy replied unabashedly.

Gui Yunxi’s mouth twitched as he desperately wanted to denounce his various crimes.

"Oh, you hire coachmen now?" Gu Youyou raised an eyebrow, seeing the coachman’s subservient demeanor paired with secretive teeth-gritting, she guessed there was a great deal of exaggeration in the word ’hired.’

The inn’s lobby was noisy and crowded, not a place for conversation, so Gu Youyou whispered to Searcy, "Let’s go upstairs."

Jin Ziyuan said, "You two go ahead, I’ll talk to the chef about preparing a few dishes, I’ll be back soon."

"I...I’ll go feed the horses!" Gui Yunxi also made his escape, his instincts telling him that neither of these two were easy to serve.

Once in Gu Youyou’s room, Searcy immediately scorned, "You fickle woman, don’t tell me the bandit robbery was a lie, and the truth is you’re out gallivanting with that pretty boy you were with just now."

Gu Youyou nearly choked on her own spit.

She really dared to say anything, and Gu Youyou couldn’t fathom how her mother educated her. She was supposed to be raised in the inner chambers but lacked all semblances of a sheltered lady.

Fortunately, she left the Lu Family; with such a temperament, wouldn’t she be a curse to any family she married into?

Gu Youyou wiped her mouth and said, "The robbery was fake, but what I encountered was more terrifying than being robbed by bandits. As for not going back to Beijing and running to the East Sea, that was a last resort—I was fleeing for my life."

"Humph, fleeing for your life?" Searcy sneered coldly. "Is that pretty boy just now your new clandestine lover?"

Gu Youyou: "...Go to hell with ’clandestine lover’. I’m very loyal in love; I told you I was fleeing for my life."

In front of such a woman, even the best manners would crumble.

Searcy pursed her lips and snorted, "If that Taoist knew of your ’loyalty’, he’d probably explode with anger."

"It’s none of your business," Gu Youyou said indifferently. "How did you find me?"
