Qin Luo picked it up and carried it upstairs to the guest room.
"Finding it might not be a good thing!"
"Why?"
"If you can't find it, you discard it; if you find it, then there's another scheme in the making!"
"Premeditated? What premeditated?"
Qin Luo entered the guest room, closed the door, and only returned after entering his spatial dimension.
"I can't be sure for now, but even if his brother secretly beat him to death, no one would know. But he insisted on bringing him out and abandoning him. If he really abandoned him, that's fine! But I'm afraid it's a pretense, a trap to lure him into getting close to us!"
Wu Hua also felt that something was wrong.
"Yes! He came from Hanyun County. He happened to appear at the city gate on the same day as us, and was directed to get on our donkey cart. Is someone trying to harm us?"
After careful consideration, Qin Luo denied it.
"It shouldn't be that. He probably wants the pills we have! With Elder Yuan and the prefect of Hanyun County, he probably can't get in touch with us!"
"But Grandpa didn't reveal the seller of the pills, unless it was someone who received our pills! Who could it be?"
The two of them went through everyone's memories, and then said in unison, "The Xuan number!"
Qin Luo nodded firmly.
"It must be Xuan-class. He was very generous on the day of the auction, which matches what Lü Siqing said about his father being an official in the capital!"
Will he attack us?
"Won't!"
"Why?"
"If he wanted to make a move, he wouldn't have abandoned Lü Siqing; he could have simply ambushed and killed us on the way! Why go through all this trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua sighed deeply.
"Poor Lü Siqing knew nothing and still thought that his brother had gotten separated from him!"
Qin Luo didn't think so.
"Perhaps he's taking another gamble, betting on this one and only chance. He's lived with his nanny since he was little, yet his hands have no calluses, and he's learned etiquette very well! Maybe it's all for this day when someone from the capital comes!"
Wu Hua felt that even if she transformed into human form, she wouldn't be able to learn so many tricks.
"Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore, it's too much of a hassle!"
"Alright, that's enough! Didn't you promise to write to Elder Yuan as soon as you arrived at your destination? Hurry up and write it, and send it out before we leave tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua, who was about to play with the calf for a while, had no choice but to stop herself from taking a step forward.
"Okay, I'll go write it right away!"
"Go on! Tengteng and I will go pick some vegetables, and then we'll slaughter a bison and braise it!"
Wu Hua was delighted at the mention of slaughtering a cow.
"Could we kill two? We've already finished our beef jerky!"
"Alright! Kill all the cows except for the calf's mother!"
"Okay! Then I'll take the calf to write a letter. I can't let it see the scene of its aunts being slaughtered!"
Qin Luo glanced at it with amusement.
"Alright, alright, go ahead! Kind little Wu Hua!"
Wu Hua skipped and hopped, pulling the little calf along, towards the study, which was originally intended for Fan Xing and the others to live in.
Since they left, Qin Luo has been using it as a study!
The two were busy with their own things in the space, while Lü Siqing searched all over the city.
He ran through street after street, inn after inn, asking around.
But he received no news at all, and dejectedly walked to the street corner and sat down.
My heart was filled with sorrow. I had thought that this time I would definitely be able to return to the capital and find out the cause of my mother's death.
But he was too naive. Now he realizes that bringing him back was a pretense; his real intention was to get him closer to Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
After figuring it out, he stood up and walked towards the direction out of the city. He was going to take another gamble, betting that someone had been secretly following him all along.
He deliberately slowed his pace, making him appear desolate and weary.
Just as he was about to step out of the city gate, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
The smile on his face vanished in an instant; he had won his gamble this time!
He slowly turned his head and looked at the person who had called him.
"Who are you? What do you want with me?"
The visitor warmly handed him a letter.
"I was entrusted by Young Master Lü to wait for you here, but he had to leave early due to urgent business and asked me to give you this letter!"
Lü Siqing accepted the letter and thanked the messenger.
"Thank you for your trouble!"
"No need for that, no need for that! Now that the letter has been delivered, I shall take my leave!"
After the two exchanged clasped hands, Lü Siqing, clutching the letter, walked to a secluded spot and opened it.
Inside the envelope, besides the letter, was a fifty-tael silver note.
His household registration and travel permit were nowhere to be found; it's unclear whether this was out of fear that he might disobey, or because they were afraid he would run away on his own.
He first put the banknotes into his pocket before unfolding the letter to read it.
My brother Siqing, I must go ahead on important business.
I had no choice but to leave you behind because of time constraints. I hope you won't be angry.
I'll be waiting for you in Yalan County after I finish what I'm doing.
The silver notes are for travel expenses. See if you can find someone to travel with you...
After reading the letter, Lü Siqing sneered inwardly. Clearly, they wanted to use her, yet they made it sound so sweet.
On the surface, however, he feigned extreme emotion, muttering to himself.
"I knew it! My brother wouldn't abandon me on purpose!"
Then, with a smile, she walked towards the inn where Qin Luo and the others were staying.
When he arrived at the inn, it was already 8 PM. He handed the room key to the waiter.
The waiter first served him food, and only after he finished eating did he lead him to his guest room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw an oil paper package and a note on the table.
The note read: Super delicious spicy shredded beef, perfect for your midnight snack!
Next to it was a big smiley face, and Lü Siqing was extremely conflicted at this moment.
