In the evening, after dinner, Gao Zhijun told the Sun family and the Huo family that she, Huo Zhiyuan, Lu Qiuyu, and Huo Jinqian had to go out for something and would rush back before the New Year to celebrate the New Year with everyone.
Zhuang Die and Huo Jin Zhang Chan asked what was going on, but Gao Zhijun didn't say anything, just saying it was an urgent matter.
Seeing that they couldn't get any information out of him, Zhuang Die, Huo Jin and Zhang Chan had to give up and told them to be careful.
I packed my luggage in the evening, played with my nephew for a while, and then hugged him to sleep.
The next day, at dawn, Gao Zhijun and her three companions set out. This time, they drove two carriages, accompanied by Qinglong, Moxue, and Canglang.
The carriage drove out of Taizhou Prefecture and headed towards Jingzhou.
Along the way, no one stopped to rest, nor did they have the mood to look at the surrounding scenery. They only stopped to eat and sleep at night, and the rest of the time they were on the road.
After more than two days, they arrived at Jiangling County, Jingzhou at noon.
"That's the yard. My mother lives in that yard."
Mrs. Lu pointed to a three-story courtyard in front and said to Huo Zhiyuan, Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun.
"Mom, let's go in."
Huo Jinqian said while holding Lu's trembling right hand.
Huo Zhiyuan held her left hand.
He knew that his wife was nervous at the moment, and he wanted to give her courage.
Mrs. Lu was trembling with fear. Her mother was right in front of her, but she didn't dare to take a step forward.
At this moment, she finally understood what it felt like to be homesick.
I was eager to go home at first, but now I feel homesick.
Huo Zhiyuan and Huo Jinqian both gave Lu courage and held her hand as they walked forward step by step.
Gao Zhijun walked up and knocked on the door. Not long after, the door opened from the inside, and a thirty-year-old man came into view.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
The man asked Gao Zhijun.
"We'll look for your wife and tell her that the young lady is back."
Gao Zhijun said to the man.
"Miss? Are you in the wrong place? Our lady doesn't have any young ladies at all."
The man looked at Gao Zhijun, Huo Zhiyuan and others and thought they were liars.
He had been bought here for five years and had never heard that the lady had any mistresses.
The lady is already in her early sixties, how could there be such a young lady?
The man mistakenly thought that the lady Gao Zhijun was talking about was herself, and he didn't believe it even more.
"Is there anyone named Bai Yu, Qing Lan, Qing Yan, or Qing Zhu in your house? Just call them out and you'll understand."
Lu said to the man.
Bai Yu was the guard she bought at the beginning, and Qinglan, Qingyan and Qingzhu were the three maids she bought at that time.
"How do you know about Guard Bai Yu, Manager Qing Lan, Qing Yan, Qing Zhu and the others?"
the man asked in shock.
He was bought by guard Bai Yu to be the gatekeeper. He has lived here for five years. He knew that Bai Yu, Qinglan, Qingyan and Qingzhu had been staying with the lady since she lived here. He was a big fan of the lady.
"Of course I know, because I bought them and named them. Go in and tell them to come out."
Mrs. Lu said seriously with a dark face.
Although she was born out of wedlock, she still had noble blood flowing in her veins, and she was born with the qualities to be the mistress of the house, without having to learn anything.
The doorman was so scared that he immediately ran into the yard to look for Bai Yu, Qing Lan, Qing Yan and Qing Zhu.
Soon, four people hurried over and looked for a long time before they recognized Lu.
"Miss, you're finally back! Madam has been missing you so much these past few years that she's become so haggard that she's lost her appetite."
Qinglan recognized Mrs. Lu and excitedly told her about her madam's situation.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Hearing that her mother missed her so much that she had no appetite, Lu Qiuyu felt sad.
"Miss, this is the young master from back then, right? He has grown so tall now."
Qinglan looked at Huo Jinqian and recognized that this was the young lady's son, the young master.
"Hello, Aunt Qinglan!"
Huo Jin said modestly.
"Oh, young master, you can't call me that. I can't stand it. It will shorten my life."
Qinglan was so scared that she spoke quickly.
"Qinglan, you deserve it. It's all thanks to you who have carefully served my mother over the years."
Lu said gratefully.
"Miss, don't say that. Madam has been very kind to us servants over the years. We live very freely here."
Qinglan said.
Bai Yu, Qing Yan and Qing Zhu also nodded continuously, indicating that what Qing Lan said was right.
"Okay, let's go in."
Gao Zhijun interrupted them at the right time. Everyone stood outside, feeling like monkeys being watched.
"Yes, miss, let's go in. Madam will surely be delighted to see you."
After Qinglan finished speaking, she took Lu in.
Lu's mother, Gu Yunxi, was lying on the bed at this moment, thinking about her daughter and wondering how she was doing.
She was willing to stay here because she knew she could not become a burden to her daughter.
If he implicates his daughter and is captured by the people of Anyang Prefecture, he will die.
At first, she disagreed with her daughter's behavior. The eldest princess was very kind to them, but if they helped the eldest princess, they would become dead and would more likely face the pursuit of Marquis Anyang.
Her daughter cried in front of her for a whole night, and she persuaded her in every possible way. Finally, she compromised and agreed with her daughter's approach.
For the past thirteen years, she didn't dare to step out of the yard, for fear of running into people from Anyang Mansion, and even more afraid of being recognized. After all, she was dead now.
She was even more worried that her daughter would be in danger, which caused her health to deteriorate over the years. She was afraid that she would not be able to see her daughter even after her death.
"Mom, your daughter Qiujue is back to see you."
When Gu Yunxi was lost in thought, worrying about and missing her daughter, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She looked over excitedly and saw that it was her daughter whom she missed day and night.
