Zhu Juan followed suit, her eyes also reddening. "If Lightning can rest in peace here, it will surely be at peace."
Aside from Gu Xiaoran, she had the most contact with lightning.
Qiu Yan patted Gu Xiaohou's back silently to comfort her, and the next moment, Gu Qian put his arm around her shoulder.
...
Everyone returned to the Li family home together.
Li Wenqing and Li Wenhan were not at home.
They were sent to the academy by Li Zheng.
Qiu Yan and Gu Qian acted as usual when they saw their master and mistress.
Gu Xiaoran, on the other hand, seemed to have some feelings about it.
However, he didn't say anything.
Today, Gu Qian and Qiu Yan returned home, firstly to take Xiao Ran to visit her birth mother, and secondly to tell their master and mistress that they would be leaving after a month.
When Li Zheng heard that Gu Qian and the other two were going to Shangjin...
I had some objections in my heart.
He knew better than anyone the scheming and backstabbing in Kamitsu.
"Master, for Xiao Ran's sake, your disciple must find the real culprit."
Gu Qian's words silenced Li Zheng.
After a long pause, he said:
"Let's go together."
"Master, my mistress and two junior brothers need your care. Don't worry, I'll take care of them."
After exhausting his words to bid farewell to his master, Gu Qian left with his wife and children.
A month later, the group set off for Shangjin, accompanied by Zhu Juan and her daughter.
They traveled in two carriages, with Ling Qi and Ling Ba as the drivers and Ling Yun and Ling Zhi sitting at the front. The group traveled lightly.
As for Ling Chuyi, with her aunt Qiu Yumei helping to take care of her, Ling Qi is at ease.
Over the years, Ling Chuyi often ate at his aunt's house, and Qiu Yumei always treated him very well.
Because she left in such a hurry, Qiu Yan only said a brief goodbye to her second uncle and aunt, saying that she was going to Shangjin to do business.
In fact, Kamitsu originally did have a business, but she couldn't keep it for long.
Gu Qian also went to the escort agency, only to say that he was going on a long trip.
Qiu Xu, in addition to saying goodbye to Headmaster Du and his teacher, also had to say goodbye to his two classmates, Zhou Zifang and Gao Chong.
These two had just passed the county-level imperial examination before the new year, but they were not yet qualified to take the palace examination in Tianjin. So for now, they had no choice but to stay at Luming Academy and continue their studies.
Because Qiu Xu met with the two during the morning break, they didn't say goodbye for very long.
The two were surprised, but time was of the essence, so their questions were reduced to a simple farewell.
"Ah Xu, take care on your journey." Gao Chong nodded in farewell. "I'll come find you when I pass the imperial examination."
Zhou Zifang: "What's the point of going to Shangjin, Ah Xu? Once you've achieved success and gotten a position here, I'll follow you." He chuckled.
Before long, the school bell rang, and the two reluctantly parted ways before jogging into the school.
Around 7 AM today, just before departure, Gu Xiaoran finally asked:
"Father, Mother, are you searching for the mastermind behind the men in black to avenge me?"
"Don't be afraid, face it calmly." Gu Qian no longer concealed everything as usual.
"With Father here, I'm not afraid." Gu Xiaoran nodded seriously.
Qiu Yan said, "Xiao Ran, when we get to Shangjin, we must keep a low profile." She was afraid that Gu Xiao Ran would lose control of herself, so she gave her this warning in advance.
"Yes, I know." Gu Xiaoran nodded again.
Along the way, they traversed prefectural and county towns, and towering mountains...
The journey was long, but Ling Qi and Ling Ba rode at breakneck speed.
They started leaving in the autumn.
When they arrived at Shangjin, it was already two months later, one morning.
Early in the morning, the sky was cloudless and the weather was exceptionally clear.
As soon as the carriage entered the city, Qiu Yan jumped off the carriage due to dizziness.
The bumpy ride made her feel nauseous.
