Chapter 196 Give Your Orders

Gu Jin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Gu Shuyan's idea.

"Actually, I've already prepared all the gifts. I was planning to finish my official duties and then go to the Duke of Anguo's residence. Since you're here, let's go together!"

The Gu family is not one to be ungrateful. Luo Yu has saved them several times, so the Gu family should go and check on them, both morally and logically.

Gu Jin was still pleased that Gu Shuyan had thought of this.

The steward prepared a carriage, and the father and daughter, carrying their belongings, arrived at the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion in a grand procession.

Upon hearing that Marquis Yi'an had arrived, the servant immediately went to invite Duke Anguo.

"I feel really bad that Your Excellency made a special trip for my son."

As Duke Anguo led the father and daughter toward Luo Yu's courtyard, he exchanged polite words with Gu Jin.

"You're too kind, Duke. Young Master Luo once saved my daughter's life. I will never forget such a great kindness. I only hope that Young Master Luo will be blessed by the heavens and be able to get through this ordeal."

Gu Jin's words came from the bottom of his heart, but Gu Shuyan had no heart to listen. The thought that Luo Yu would die even earlier than in her previous life made Gu Shuyan's heart clench.

In her previous life, because she was unwilling to marry Luo Yu, she ended up substituting herself for Li Yingxue, causing Luo Yu to die of depression as soon as Li Yingxue entered the family.

If her rebirth not only prevented Luo Yu from surviving but also caused him to die prematurely, Gu Shuyan would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life.

The three of them soon arrived at Luo Yu's courtyard. The courtyard was in a very remote location, which was obviously a good place for recuperation.

However, Gu Shuyan found it somewhat puzzling that even the Duke of Anguo was stopped at the gate and had to wait to be announced before entering the courtyard.

“My son has been in poor health since childhood, so the household has a rule that anyone who comes must be announced.”

Seemingly noticing Gu Shuyan's confusion, the Duke quickly offered an explanation.

"The Duke dotes on his heir, which is understandable."

Gu Jin nodded in understanding, but Gu Shuyan still felt something was off. It was a very strange feeling, as if Luo Yu was just a guest of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

The servant led the three into the courtyard, and Gu Shuyan, being a girl, was kept behind the screen.

From behind the screen, Luo Yu's faint voice could be heard. Gu Shuyan couldn't hear it clearly, but the tone of his voice made her frown.

After Gu Jin finished offering his greetings and Luo Yu finished his polite exchanges, Luo Yu suddenly mentioned that he wanted to say a few words to Gu Shuyan.

Gu Jin naturally had no interest in this, so he withdrew and went to the courtyard with Duke Anguo.

Luo Yu looked at Gu Shuyan who was slowly walking in, and gestured to Xu Feng. Xu Feng immediately understood and stepped forward to help him up.

"Miss Gu, I have a favor to ask of you."

Luo Yu's voice was very weak, and even though Gu Shuyan was sitting right in front of him, she couldn't hear it clearly.

"Your Highness saved Shuyan's life. If there is anything Shuyan can do, Your Highness may simply give the order."

Luo Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this, then turned his gaze to Xu Feng.

“Xu Feng has been taking care of me since I was a child. Now my health is probably not very good, so I would like to ask Miss Gu to keep him by my side after I die and give him a place to live.”

Luo Yu's words made a lot of sense, but how could Gu Shuyan believe that someone like Xu Feng wouldn't be able to find a place to stay? The reason Luo Yu said that was probably because he didn't want her to plead his case.
