Pei Zhirui stormed out of Yaohua Palace, his face flushed with anger as he reached the palace gates. A guard approached him, bowing respectfully. "Your Highness, news from the border of the Jing Kingdom."
Pei Zhirui's forehead throbbed; Pei Zhiqing had already learned of his plans and rushed to the border, or perhaps there were other matters that required his immediate attention there. He ordered everyone to mobilize for an ambush.
Gritting his teeth, Pei Zhirui realized that if he continued to hold back at this point, Pei Zhiqing would soon arrive at the border and uncover his scheme.
After a moment's thought, he decided to visit the Prime Minister's residence. Less than half an hour later, he emerged from the estate.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingning and Chen Lao had disguised themselves and made their way from Yaowang Valley into the capital, returning to the residence of Duke Zhongyuan.
As she appeared at the Duke's gate, the doorman was startled and hurriedly opened the door. "Miss, Miss!"
Hongling was the first to hear the news of her return. Without taking a breath, she dashed back to Qiushui Courtyard.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Wanqing slowly stood up and looked at Hongling.
Hongling clutched her chest, speaking in gasps, "Miss, she's back!"
"What did you say?" Gu Wanqing exclaimed excitedly, moving forward. "Is my sister really back?"
Hongling stepped forward to support her. "Miss, be careful! The eldest miss is almost here!"
The eldest miss had sent Xiangling ahead to prepare food in the kitchen. She couldn't wait to let her sister know this news and had rushed back.
Gu Wanqing hurried out into the courtyard. As Gu Qingning reached the entrance and spotted her sister's figure, she immediately set aside Chen Lao and embraced her tightly.
"Wanqing, I'm sorry for being late."
On her way back, she had overheard the servants discussing how Pei Zhirui had schemed against Gu Wanqing’s marriage during her absence. Xiangling also mentioned that Xuezhuyuan had caught fire and that Gu Wanqing had nearly lost her life. Gu Qingning felt an overwhelming urge to kill Pei Zhirui on the spot.
Ignoring the teasing remarks from those around them, Gu Wanqing whispered through her tears, "Sister, you’re finally back."
Gu Qingning gently patted her sister's back to comfort her. "It's okay! Don't be afraid!"
The child had endured so much hardship that she only cried out now.
As the sisters reunited, Hong Ling wiped her tears and turned to serve a pot of fine tea to Elder Chen. Gu Qingning helped Gu Wanqing sit down. "Sister has invited a skilled practitioner to examine your eyes."
If it weren't for the marinated goose, who would want to come to such a place? Elder Chen squinted slightly, feeling a bit proud. He was surprised to find that his little disciple was actually the young lady of the Zhongyuan Marquis' residence.
He had thought it was just that young man who was wealthy, but he hadn't expected his disciple to come from such a prominent background as well. The marinated goose made by Bai Zhi was comparable to that from Chunfeng Tower! I guarantee that once you try it, you'll want more next time.
Before entering the city, she had already sent word to the Jing Wang residence to have Bai Zhi returned to the Zhongyuan Marquis' residence. With Feng Ren and the others absent, there were very few people available in the residence, which naturally slowed things down considerably.
Just as they stepped through the gates of the Zhongyuan Marquis' residence, Bai Zhi happened to get off the carriage, and they collided into each other.
Elder Chen snorted, deliberately ignoring Gu Qingning. She smiled and asked Hong Ling to assist her, and Hong Ling cheerfully ran off.
After days of being startled, Gu Wanqing finally set aside her anxiety and sat quietly beside them as usual. She could hardly believe that after Gu Qingning had fallen off a cliff, not only had she survived but also brought back a master to help her with her eye ailment.
Gu Qingning's trust in someone was enough for Gu Wanqing to believe in them wholeheartedly.
