He handed a cloth bag and the key from Qin Luo's hand to the guard.
"Give these to my grandfather and tell him that I left him a wild ox in the mansion!"
The guards were somewhat puzzled when they heard the word "bison".
Could it be that this young master is dissatisfied with the contents of the storeroom and wants the bison to smash up the house?
Seeing that Wu Hua remained calm, Qin Luo also stopped caring.
She roughly guessed what they were thinking, and then offered her an answer.
"It's tethered, so it won't damage the house. The bison is for Mr. Yuan to make beef jerky!"
The captain of the guards then realized he had misunderstood, and he bowed to Qin Luo.
"We misunderstood. We thought the young master was dissatisfied with the things in the storeroom, which is why he released a wild buffalo..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo felt as if she had lost a fortune; it turned out that the treasures she had just seen were all for Wu Hua.
But they can't really go back to get it, after all, Wu Hua already calls Grandpa Yuan "Grandpa Yuan".
She calmly waved to the guards.
“It is the boy who should be filial to his grandfather, how can he take his things? We only had the gifts and the jade tree from the Nie family taken away, and we didn’t touch anything else!”
The guards were deeply shocked when they heard her say this.
It wasn't because Qin Luo didn't take the treasure, but because they had been guarding outside the mansion the whole time.
I didn't sense any expert's presence, yet someone just moved the things away like that.
It seems only top-tier experts could accomplish this; the rumors are indeed true.
These two are not only heirs of a reclusive family, but also cousins of the Duke of Qi.
One of them is Yuan Lao's grandson. You should know that Yuan Lao's businesses are spread all over Pingzhao!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're incredibly wealthy! My God! This is a terrifying link!
The captain of the guard bowed to Qin Luo again.
"Alright, I will relay the message to Elder Yuan verbatim later!"
Having explained everything, Qin Luo, carrying Wu Hua, led Wen Yushu towards Liang Yu's house.
Only when no one was around did they swing on the vines.
It was already early morning (3:00 AM) when we arrived at the courtyard.
Wu Hua buried Wen Yushu's body in the ground in the center of the courtyard!
They set up a barrier around the area to prevent prying eyes, and then restored the ground to its original state!
After all that, Wu Hua was exhausted, constantly expending energy without receiving any replenishment.
It reached out to Qin Luo: "Hug!"
Qin Luo saw that its eyes were almost closed and picked it up with a pained expression.
He then greeted Wen Yushu.
"Wenyu... no! Liang Jin, we need to go back to the inn first, the little one is too tired!"
Seeing that Wu Hua had fallen asleep on Qin Luo's shoulder, Liang Jin quickly bowed to Qin Luo.
"Alright, please take the master to rest! Wen Yushu will never forget this great kindness!"
Qin Luo nodded to it.
"Then we'll take our leave!"
After saying that, he turned and swam towards the inn. When he arrived at the inn, he saw the waiter still standing at the door with a lantern.
Seeing that Wu Hua was asleep, he deliberately lowered his voice.
"Welcome back, sir! Watch your step, I'll light your way!"
Qin Luo rewarded him with one tael of silver, just like yesterday.
"make persistent efforts!"
The waiter took the reward money and lit the way for her.
"Okay, sir/madam! Don't worry! I will definitely work even harder!"
Seeing the earnest look on his face, Qin Luo smiled genuinely.
"good!"
After entering the room, she took Wu Hua into the space and placed it in the stream, letting its little head rest on the bank.
After infusing it with some healing power, he had Tengteng watch over Wu Hua before he went to wash up.
After tidying up, Qin Luo didn't go to the vine house to rest, but instead lay down by the stream watching Wu Hua.
The two slept until 10:00 AM.
Qin Luo was awakened by the calf's cries. Wu Hua was still lying on the bank, her body still soaking in the stream.
It was sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up, its little head covered in wet tufts of hair licked by the calf.
Qin Luo got up and washed up first, then picked Wu Hua up from the stream, washed its little tail, and carried it to the bedroom to change clothes.
Wu Hua asked her in a muffled voice, "Luo Luo, what time is it? Are we going out?"
Qin Luo checked the time and replied, "It's already past ten o'clock. We need to get ready and head out first. We have an appointment with Lao Wen at noon!"
Wu Hua nodded obediently, letting Qin Luo change its clothes, wash its face, and brush its teeth.
When the two returned to their inn room, they noticed someone pacing back and forth outside the door and knocking lightly a few times.
Qin Luo placed Wu Hua on the edge of the bed and sat her down, then went to open the door herself.
The waiter outside the door greeted Qin Luo warmly with a bow.
"Good morning, sir! I know you slept late last night, and I shouldn't disturb you, but the Prefect has been waiting downstairs for quite some time..."
Qin Luo was also very surprised when she heard this. She did not expect the prefect to come, and what did the prefect want with her?
Even if Qi Yong spread the word that she and Wu Hua were cousins of the Duke of Qi's family.
The prefect wouldn't come in person; he's been waiting downstairs. There must be another reason!
After replying to the waiter a few times, Qin Luo carried Wu Hua downstairs.
The innkeeper had the first floor cleared out, leaving the prefect sitting alone in the empty hall.
A strange sense of loneliness washed over me.
Qin Luo originally thought that the governor of Hanyun County should be similar to the governor of Changjin County.
I'm already in my forties, but who knew the person in front of me would be so tall and have such long legs, red lips and white teeth!
A smooth jawline, paired with those almond-shaped eyes, exudes elegance...
Wu Hua tilted her head and stared at the prefect. When she saw Qin Luo, she grabbed her cheek.
"You're only fifteen years old by Chinese reckoning, even after the New Year! Clear your head!"
