Chapter 143 What is this called? Yes, fake death!
Although Gu Tingjun felt as if he saw his deceased wife, under the insistence of Jiang He and Gu Yi, he thought that he might have dreamed because he missed her too much.
On the day of departure, Gu Tingjun saw Lu Mei following Master Nian Ci.
After taking a quick glance, he asked, "Little sister, what is this?"
Seeing that Gu Tingjun looked normal, Gu Yi explained, "We were on our way when we found this girl fainted on the side of the road. We happened to know that she was going the same way as us, so we gave her a ride."
Lu Mei also nodded but didn't say anything.
Gu Tingjun nodded, indicating that he understood, and did not pay too much attention to Lu Mei.
Seeing his second brother like this, Gu Yi was completely relieved.
He originally planned to let Lu Mei get into the carriage, but Lu Mei refused again and again.
Asking my benefactor to give me a ride was already an extra request, so how could I sit in the carriage?
Seeing that Lu Mei insisted, Gu Yi had no choice but to ask Jiang He to take good care of Lu Mei.
Jiang He agreed immediately.
But it’s better this way, the secret that An An is the little fairy grass will not be exposed to others.
The carriage rumbled forward.
Soon, they arrived at the city gate.
Several people originally wanted to leave the city as soon as possible. After all, Lu Mei's matter was here. Because of An An's matter and Lu Mei's poison had not been cured yet, they stayed in the inn for a while.
Now that An An is fine and Lu Mei's poison has been almost cured, it is naturally safer to leave the city as soon as possible.
But as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped.
"Excuse me, sir. Please open the carriage." said the soldier guarding the city gate.
Lu Mei was sitting next to the river. The soldiers had seen her a long time ago, but they did not pay much attention to her. They only focused on the people in the carriage.
Gu Yi boldly lifted the curtain of the carriage.
The soldier took a quick look inside, pointed at the portrait in his hand, and signaled to let them pass.
Gu Yi and the others lowered the carriage curtain in silence.
I heard a soldier complaining behind me: "You said, the Lu family lost a daughter, it's really strange. We searched for her for several days but couldn't find her. It's as if she disappeared from the face of the earth."
"Who said it wasn't true!" another soldier complained, "It is said that the Lu family has spread the word that if their daughter can be found, they will take out the Lu family heirloom!"
"Hey, hey, what kind of heirloom are you talking about?"
"I don't know. It seems to be called something like Chen Xixiang? I don't know what it does."
Hearing this, the people in the carriage suddenly widened their eyes. Gu Yi ordered Jiang He to stop the car and called Lu Mei in.
"Miss Lu, I have a favor to ask of you." Gu Yi called Lu Mei in.
"Mrs. Gu, just tell me what you want to say." Lu Mei looked at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi sighed and asked, "Miss Lu, I just heard from the soldiers at the city gate that the Lu family's heirloom is something called Chen Xi Xiang? Miss Lu, did you have any impression of this thing when you were at home before?"
Lu Mei frowned and began to think.
Ever since my stepmother came into the house, I rarely go out of my own yard. I don’t want to see her hypocritical face.
As for Chen Xixiang, I seemed to have heard my father mention it.
It was said that it was the dowry brought by her mother's parents, but as to where it was or whether it was taken away by her stepmother, she had no idea.
Lu Mei told everyone everything she knew.
The people in the carriage fell into a rare silence.
"Miss Lu, have you ever seen this Chenxi incense?" Master Nianci wanted to confirm.
After all, this Chenxixiang only exists in ancient books, and Weicheng does not belong to the southernmost area, so how could there be Chenxixiang?
This left Master Nian Ci a little confused.
Lu Mei shook her head apologetically. She had only heard of it once and had never seen it in person.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lu Mei asked, "My benefactor, are you looking for this Chen Xi Xiang?"
Gu Yi sighed and explained, "To be honest with you, Miss Lu, we are indeed looking for this astringent incense. Our little girl has amnesia and only this astringent incense can cure her."
However, even though I want the Chenxixiang, I can’t let Miss Lu, who has escaped with great difficulty, fall into the fire pit again, right?
It's easy to imagine that this girl had to escape from death because she was sold by her stepmother, and she was also poisoned.
Now we can't just send people into the fire pit again just for a Chenxixiang that we don't know whether it is what we are looking for or not, right?
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
A certain fairy grass was shaking its leaves constantly. Jin Li looked down and saw the "excited" Xiao An An.
Suddenly he said, "Miss Lu, it's okay, we won't send you back."
Gu Yi was wondering why Young Master Jin suddenly spoke up, but when he saw Lu Mei's anxious look, he immediately comforted her: "Miss Lu, you can rest assured. Besides, Master Nianci has said that we don't know if it is the real Shen Xi incense!"
Lu Mei forced a smile, then quietly got out of the carriage and sat down beside the river without saying a word.
Jiang He felt sorry for the girl and advised her, "Miss Lu, don't worry. Madam is a good person."
Lu Mei nodded blankly.
She naturally knew that Madam Gu and Master Nian Ci were both good people, otherwise they would not have saved her on the road and detoxified her. After knowing her life experience, they would not despise her as a hot potato, but would be willing to send her out of the city.
However, Mrs. Gu's daughter has lost her memory, and she must be very sad.
The only thing I can help with is the Chen Xi Xiang that Madam Gu is looking for, right?
Just when Lu Mei made up her mind to return to the Lu Mansion, she was called into the carriage again.
After Lu Mei got out of the carriage.
Jin Li smiled and looked at a small grass that was shaking its leaves vigorously, and said, "Okay, now you can tell me."
Gu Yi and Nian Ci looked at An An in confusion.
"Ouch, I'm feeling so suffocated!" A small grass complained unhappily, and stretched out its small leaves to wipe the non-existent "sweat".
"Mother, mother, Master, An An has a way!" said Little Fairy Grass excitedly.
"You just want the young ladies, just give them to them!" An An said, holding up the leaves.
The Lu Mansion is looking for the eldest daughter of the Lu family, but they didn’t say whether she is dead or alive!
I always hear this kind of plot in storybooks. What is it called? That’s right! The grass flapped its leaves and pretended to be dead!
After hearing Xiao An'an's words, Gu Yi and Master Nian Ci looked at each other and saw the same meaning in their eyes.
I have to say, this method is really feasible!
“It’s safe so that no one can find out!” The little fairy grass proudly raised its leaves, thinking it was a fairy grass! I can do anything!
Lu Mei, who was called in, learned this method after Gu Yi's explanation, and her eyes lit up.
