Huo pursed her lips and told Mr. Big in a soft voice, “Master, father has gone out too.”
Mr. Big was so full of the sight of Meng contradicting him without the slightest mercy that he didn’t hear what Huo said.
“Master ……”
Huo raised her voice.
Only then did Mr. Big look at him.
“Father went out too, I suspect ……” Huo paused, “they were going to the same place.”
The eldest gentleman’s brow knitted up, “What do you mean?”
“I suspect that father and sister went to the same place.”
The older gentleman’s brow furrowed, “What nonsense!”
If we delay any longer it will be too late, Huo was a little anxious, “Your Lordship doesn’t feel that something is wrong with them anymore, sister has never left the house for so many years, yet today she insisted on going out, father even more rarely goes out, yet he went out two days in a row and came back in high spirits, even drinking wine, what could make them so impatient and happy?”
The elder gentleman’s eyes snapped open, “You mean ……”
Then he shook his head again, “Impossible, absolutely impossible.”
Wan’er had been missing for so many years, how could she possibly be found?
“To find out if it is, we can send someone to follow father, if not, we are all relieved, if it is, we can also prepare early.”
“I’ll go.”
Mr. Big said and was about to get up, but was stopped by Huo, “Master going is too big a target, it’s easy for them to find out, I’ll send my subordinates to follow secretly, as long as we know where the people have gone it’s easy to tell.”
“Go quickly.”
Huo walked to the door, called an agitated servant to follow him, and ordered on.
The boy ran to the door with his legs drawn, just in time to see the old gentleman get into the carriage, he followed from a distance, watching the carriage turn a corner, he hurriedly ran to catch up with it, but unexpectedly a goodsman came right across, and the two collided, with a bang, the boy was knocked out of his eyes and fell to the ground, and the goodsman also fell, spilling his goods all over the floor.
The boy couldn’t think of anything else to say and got up to chase after him, but the goodsman was quick enough to pull him back, “You pay for my stuff!”
The boy couldn’t get away, so he was desperate and hurried to give him the silver. Of course, the goods man wouldn’t do it, so he grabbed him and wouldn’t let go. The boy could only watch as the carriage turned a corner again and disappeared.
The old gentleman was unaware that someone was following behind him or that the follower had been stopped by Gu Yi’s men as he made his way to the front of the mansion.
Meng’s mother and daughter went inside the house, followed by Song Wangyue and Gu Yi. The old gentleman stepped out of the carriage and walked straight into the courtyard, hearing voices coming from the house next to him, and he stood in the courtyard and coughed.
Song Wan Yue heard the sound and went out from the hall, smiling and calling out, “Grand great grandfather.”
“Well, has Wan’er remembered anything?”
Song Wangyue shook her head.
The old gentleman was a little disappointed, he had thought that Wan’er could think of something after seeing Meng.
Song Wan Yue smiled and stepped forward, taking his arm, the old gentleman’s body shook, his eyes fell on her hand holding his arm, he had thought of Wan Er’s child holding his own on countless occasions, today it finally came true, he wet his eyes with excitement, “Good, good, good.”
“Does Grandfather think I’m good, or do you think I’m good for holding you up?”
Song Wangyue asked mischievously.
The old gentleman froze slightly before laughing loudly, “Both are good, both are good!”
Gu Yi also came out of the house.
When he saw him, the smile on the old gentleman’s face receded, and while walking with Song Wan Yue towards the hall, he asked, “Did this boy use any tricks, how did you get engaged to him at such a young age?”
Song Wan Yue gave him a thumbs up, “Grandfather really guessed right, last year he fell into the water and choked and fainted, it was me who saved him and he became entangled with me.”
“What?”
The old gentleman’s voice rose, Gu Yi’s body shivered in fear, even Meng’s mother and daughter who were talking with teary eyes in the room stopped talking.
“Kid, you come in with me.”
Gu Yi looked at Song Wan Yue, who made a face at him, and Gu Yi resigned himself to walking into the house.
The old gentleman was already sitting down and looked at him majestically, “Is what Yue’er said true?”
“She only said half of it, the remaining half she didn’t say.”
Gu Yi gave up and, with both eyes closed, said, “She, she, she kissed me on the mouth to bring me back to life, if I didn’t marry her, she would have no one.”
The old man was incredibly stunned for a moment before he turned his head and slowly looked at Song Wangyue, “Yue’er, is what he said true?”
“I learned how to save a person from a book, if I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t be able to save him!”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough ……”
The old gentleman coughed violently.
Song Wangyue hurriedly helped him with his back, and the old gentleman waved his hand, “You …… cough …… go out first, I …… cough… …have a few words with him …… cough …….”
Song Wangyue gave Gu Yi a look, Gu Yi understood and went behind the old gentleman to help him with his back, and Song Wangyue walked out.
Sister Wu’s eyes were red as she came out of the house, the more she looked at Song Wan Yue the more she liked her, this was Miss’s child, not only did she follow Miss’s looks, she also had a good medical skill, and more importantly was not so soft like Miss’s nature.
“Sister Wu.”
Song Wan Yue called out to her with a smile, “I’m going to buy some vegetables and show my grandfather and grandmother at noon, you can come with me.”
“Fine, fine.”
Sister Wu was heartbroken after responding, she didn’t know what kind of life Miss Sun had lived in the countryside, she had learnt to cook at such a young age, when Miss returned to the house, she would definitely ask Madam to buy ten or eight maids to serve them.
……
When the boy went back and said he had lost the man, Huo’s face changed and she looked at Mr. Big with a white face. Things can’t be so coincidental, how could they just happen to run into the goodsman and be stopped?
Mr. Big also sensed that things were unusual and believed in Huo’s speculation for a few moments, but still steadied his mind and reassured her, “Don’t worry, maybe it was really an accident, maybe.”
Huo’s lips twitched, wanting to say something…
Seeing her like this, Mr. Big was distressed and patted her back soothingly, “Alright, leave this to me, as long as I’m here, even if Wan’er comes back, they won’t dare to touch you.”
Huo’s mood slowly calmed down, and Mr. Da comforted her for a while longer before going to his study.
As soon as he left, Huo ordered a carriage to be prepared and she went to the Ministry of the Household to look for Wen Zhong. As soon as they met, she eagerly let people get into the carriage and ordered the driver to find a secluded place to stop before she said in a shaky voice, “Zhong’er, mother suspects Xu Qingwan has been found.”
Wen Zhong looked at her haughtily, his voice low, “What’s going on?”
Huo told her about the unusual behaviour of the old gentleman and Meng in the past two days, “Meng’s heart has been like death all these years, and only Xu Qingwan’s return can make her like this.”
