Wei the shopkeeper ran to Gu Yi, seeing him looking at him like a fool, Wei the shopkeeper used the action of wiping sweat to cover up, “Miss Song came back alone.”
Gu Yi pulled his legs up and ran towards the carriage, scurrying up with one arrow step, “Go!”
The carriage driver panicked and shook the reins, the horse neighing and rushing towards the restaurant.
I hope that Madam Zhang will be generous and not take it to heart.”
Madam Zhang was indeed furious, the master had gone out in the morning to talk business, saying that he was going far away and might not return tonight. Gu Yi, however, kept saying that the master had gone up to invite Song Wan Yue over today and hadn’t let anyone go back by now, and he had come over to ask for her.
She explained again and again, but Gu Yi just wouldn’t listen and had to barge into the house.
“Disturbing me is a small matter, if it disturbs Zhi’er, I won’t be finished with you even if your Gu family is rich.”
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s our young master’s fault, I will definitely report to the master when I return and have the young master come to your door to make amends in person.”
Mrs. Zhang took a breath and waved her hand, she had no intention of arguing with a child, “Forget about coming to the door to make amends, if you really want to apologise, please put in a good word for me in front of Miss Song and ask her to come and help cure her, no matter how much silver we are willing to pay.”
This was something that the shopkeeper Wei did not dare to agree to, but he did not say that he would not help either, and once again gave her an apology and led his people away.
Mrs. Zhang was also helped by her maid to turn around and walk inside, “Housekeeper, order someone to close the gate, eat early and rest early.”
The housekeeper froze as early as when Wei’s shopkeeper shouted that one. He didn’t know if what Wei’s boss said was true or not, with what he knew about the master, there was no way he would automatically let someone out, if it was true, it could only mean that the master ……
The butler did not dare to think further, and a fine bead of sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Butler?”
Hearing no answer from him, Madam Zhang was puzzled and called out to him again.
Only then did the steward return to his senses, “Fu, madam.”
“Close the gate, tell the kitchen to cook early, and when you’re done, everyone in the house will rest early.
“Yes.”
When she was far away, the housekeeper ordered the gate to be closed, instructed the people in the mansion to do their jobs, went back to the house and changed into a dark dress, went out through the side door, and did not take the carriage either, and hurried towards another mansion.
……
“Little girl!”
Without waiting for the carriage to stop in front of the backyard of the tavern, Gu Yi jumped down and ran into the courtyard.
“Where’s the house.”
A clear, crisp voice came out of his house.
Gu Yi reached the door almost instantly and lifted the curtain to enter.
Inside the house, Song Wangyue was sitting at the table, holding a tealight in her hand.
Gu Yi held his breath and slowly walked over to her, his gaze falling on her head, face, body and finally on her blood-stained right hand, holding the tealight.
Song Wangyue put the tealight on the table, “It’s not mine.”
Gu Yi took out a handkerchief, carefully grabbed her hand and gently wiped it.
Song Wan Yue tilted her face to look at him, seeing the backwardness, trembling and barely concealed violence in Gu Yi’s eyes.
“Gu Yi, I’ve killed someone.”
“Hmm.”
Gu Yi didn’t stop moving, still wiping gently as if he hadn’t heard her words.
“Need you to take care of the aftermath.”
Only then did Gu Yi stop the movement in his hand and looked at her, the violence in his eyes had receded and returned to calmness and clarity, shining like obsidian with a gleaming light.
“Where?”
“In a mansion three streets away.”
After a pause, he added, “Nine of them.”
“Hmm.”
Gu Yi stroked her head.
“Young master, the master and the Song family’s side ……”
Wei’s shopkeeper asked for instructions in a soft voice outside, Song Wan Yue had disappeared together with Er Ya, and she was the only one who came back, Wei’s shopkeeper didn’t dare to take it upon himself to inform Master Gu and Song’s family.
“Come in!”
Boss Wei pushed the door in.
Song Wangyue gave him the exact location of the mansion.
After hearing that, the shopkeeper Wei understood, “I’ll bring someone there.”
“You don’t need to go there personally, just send a few people there. Remember, no matter if they are alive or dead, none of them are allowed to be released until I arrive.”
……
When the butler reached the gate, he smelled the smell of blood. He pushed the gate open with trepidation and was greeted by two corpses, lying face down on the ground, with large stains of blood under their necks.
The steward covered his mouth to keep from screaming, went in on shaky legs and closed the gate with all his strength, and then stumbled towards the main courtyard.
When he saw the four corpses in the courtyard, he stumbled and fell right next to one of them.
“Master!”
……
“Go away.”
Gu Yi extended his hand towards Song Wan Yue.
Song Wan Yue took his hand and stood up, followed him out the door, got into the carriage and was just about to speak when Gu Yi had already instructed, “Go to Huang Si’s house.”
Song Wan Yue swallowed her words, she had thought of going to Huang Si’s house to ask for the person after she came out of the Zhang family’s mansion, and after she woke up in a coma she realized that it was Huang Si and Song Lian who had made this trap with Master Zhang.
The reason she didn’t go out of the Zhang house was that it was getting dark and she had been missing for a few hours, so her family or the people from the Wei Yuan Dart Board would be looking for her all over town.
The carriage was moving fast, the sound of clattering hooves fell sharply on the ground, Gu Yi took Song Wan Yue’s hand tightly, the other hand covered the back of her hand, gently patting it, silently comforting.
For some reason, Song Wan Yue’s sinking heart lightened at once. In her past life and present life, she had never had anyone else so protective, and this feeling – she liked it.
The carriage stopped at Huang Si’s house.
The house was already lit and two figures were faintly reflected in the window.
Song Lian’s heart had been in a panic all afternoon, especially when she returned home and heard Huang Si say that Gu Yi had come looking for her.
“I can’t afford to stay in an inn, so we can’t just go out into the street? This way, you send the child to your sister-in-law’s house next door, let her sleep overnight at her sister-in-law’s house, if there is no movement tonight, tomorrow we will turn over, if, if ……”
Huang Si gritted his teeth, “If that girl is really found by Gu Yi ……… also don’t let Hua’er suffer this shock.”
If Song Wan Yue is found, Gu Yi will send someone to clean them up, but nothing more than having someone beat them up, beat them to the point where they don’t dare to have any other thoughts in the future, and never dare to take the lives of both of them.
