"Why have you been avoiding me for so many days?" He listened to his mother and came to see Gu Yunran every day, but never once stepped into the courtyard.
They were all stopped outside the door!
"Why should I see you?" Gu Yunran just found it funny.
In her previous life, she waited and waited, and waited for Lu Qingzhou for twenty years, but he never came. He was so disgusted with her that he was unwilling to set foot in her courtyard.
The first time he stepped into her courtyard, he brought his childhood sweetheart with him and gave her a divorce letter, forcing her to give up her position as mistress.
"I am your husband!" Lu Qingzhou gritted his teeth.
Gu Yunran pulled out a divorce agreement she had prepared long ago from her sleeve and threw it in Lu Qingzhou's face. "Sign this agreement, and we'll part ways amicably!"
"You!" Lu Qingzhou tore the divorce agreement into pieces and roared, "I'm the only one who can divorce you!"
Gu Yunran actually handed him a divorce letter, which was simply an insult to him!
The servant also widened his eyes. It was the first time he saw a woman divorcing a man.
Madam is so handsome!
"Okay, I'll wait."
Gu Yunran said with a smile, turned around and walked out with the two girls, leaving Lu Qingzhou roaring in the wind.
Chang'an Avenue is brightly lit on a spring night, and is bustling with people coming and going.
There were people selling sugar figures, shadow puppets, red hairpins, and all kinds of small gadgets, which were dazzling to look at. Gu Yunran picked out small items while walking around.
Zhuye and Taohua were also very happy. It had been three years since they came to the Lu family, and this was the first time the lady had gone out shopping.
Gu Yunran picked up a lot of small things, Zhuye followed behind to pay, and Taohua was responsible for carrying things because she was strong.
The three people walked across the Magpie Bridge and came to Peach Blossom Street. There were large areas of peach blossoms on the street, with colorful lanterns hanging on the peach trees and oil-paper umbrellas hanging above their heads. From a distance, the street had a poetic charm.
"Madam, today is the Lantern Festival." Zhuye said with a smile.
Gu Yunran nodded, but looked around as if looking for something.
After a while, the crowd suddenly became agitated.
"Oh no, there's a fight going on."
The people shouted and fled in all directions.
Zhuye pulled Gu Yunran and said, "Madam, it's dangerous ahead. Let's go back quickly."
Gu Yunran patted Zhuye's hand and whispered, "You and Taohua go back first, I'll go back later."
As she spoke, she walked forward against the crowd.
Taohua was a little worried: "Madam, let this maid follow you. She will protect you."
She guessed that the lady must have something to do.
"You guys go back first."
Taohua pursed her lips and stood there, unwilling to leave.
Seeing that the little girl was angry, Gu Yunran sighed: "Return it."
Taohua smiled and quickly stuffed the things in her hand into Zhuye's arms. Zhuye started walking back with a pile of things in his arms.
After taking two steps, she turned back and warned, "Madam, be careful."
"Sister Zhuye, don't worry, Madam will be fine with me here."
Even if it means risking her life, she will protect the lady.
The street suddenly became quiet, and all the lanterns suddenly went out. It was pitch black all around, and the sound of wind could be heard from time to time.
Gu Yunran couldn't help but shudder.
Taohua approached her, reached out and held her hand, and whispered, "Madam, follow me closely."
"If someone comes later, we will separate."
"good."
Taohua didn't know what Gu Yunran was going to do, but she just had to obey.
Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching from afar.
Gu Yunran let go of Taohua's hand and quickly hid in the doorway of a shop next to the street. There was a stone sculpture there that was barely big enough to hide a person.
The peach blossoms disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gu Yunran knew that she was hiding in the dark to protect herself.
I don't know where this girl learned her martial arts skills, but she is very powerful. She also learned the skills of a shadow guard, which she can hide with her and protect herself in the dark.
"Where are the people? Why are they gone?"
"I clearly saw him coming this way."
Just as Gu Yunran hid, several masked men in black came out, holding long swords in their hands, and the cold sword light shone in the dark night.
Moreover, there was blood on the blade.
Gu Yunran, who was hiding in the dark, was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth.
This place was relatively close to the Dali Temple, and they were afraid of alerting the authorities, so they just took a quick look and left.
"call!"
Gu Yunran let out a long breath, but found that his body had gone limp.
She was sweating belatedly and her clothes were sticking to her back, covering up her exquisite figure.
She stood up and was about to leave when she heard a noise behind her.
Gu Yunran's hairs stood on end and she turned her head stiffly. She was worried that the group of assassins would come back again, so she lifted her skirt and prepared to run.
A cold voice suddenly sounded: "Go away, try it!"
Hearing the voice, Gu Yunran turned her head and looked over. She saw a man in a black robe sitting in the corner, holding his abdomen, staring at her with a pair of sinister and sharp eyes.
Gu Yunran walked back, fearing someone's death. When she saw the person in front of her, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Mu, a traitor?"
"Hmm?" The man's warning voice sounded again, "What did you call me?"
"Ahem..." Gu Yunran forced a smile, "It's Master Mu."
Mu Qianchen looked at Gu Yunran's fake smile and thought to himself that she had clearly seen him just now, but wanted to stay out of it, just like when she was a child. What a heartless person.
He held out his hand: "Come and help me!"
"Oh~"
Gu Yunran bent down and reached out to pull Mu Qianchen up.
