"Get up." Ah Chou stretched out his hand and pulled her up. Gu Junyao was protected behind him. The wolves did not dare to approach. Gu Junyao was trembling with fear and whispered in his ear: "What should we do? Are we going to die in their mouths?"

"Don't be afraid."

Ah Chou said something comforting, suddenly blew a whistle, threw the torch out to the foot of another mountain, and quickly pulled her to run wildly in the dark night. Not knowing whether there were wolves chasing behind them, Gu Junyao only knew that she kept running, almost using up all her life's strength.

When they returned to the bamboo house, Gu Junyao was exhausted, but Achou looked as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you. I didn't expect you to come to save me." Gu Junyao completely collapsed on the ground, holding his chest. His heartbeat accelerated and his face was as red as a monkey's butt.

Ah Chou slowly brought a bowl of pigeon soup, which was the trophy he got from hunting today.

"Achou... can I ask you for a favor?" Gu Junyao knew that this was a difficult sentence to say, but seeing how difficult Achou's living conditions were, no one should have a problem with silver.

"Go ahead."

After Gu Junyao's heartbeat slowed down, she patted her chest, sat on the chair and said to him, "I want you to take me back to the capital. I will definitely reward you handsomely. My parents are both well-known figures in the capital. No matter how much gold and silver you want, they will satisfy you."

Ah Chou remained calm and showed no interest in gold, silver and treasures. Gu Junyao couldn't help scratching his head. There really are such strange people in the world who are indifferent to fame and fortune. They have great skills and are not afraid of wolves at all. Such warriors are really rare.

"If you think it's too little, I'll ask my father to consider buying you a house in the capital. You won't have to live in such a remote mountain forest without anyone around. Won't you be lonely?"

Anyway, Gu Junyao wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. If she stayed here for even a moment longer, she would be suffocated to death.

"Isn't there someone to accompany me now?"

When Ah Chou said this, he showed a weird smile on his face, which scared her a lot. Gu Junyao frowned and said, "Ah Chou, I know you are a good person, but I really can't adapt to living in a place like this. Can you please send me to the capital?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's getting late today, so go to bed early." After drinking the soup, Ah Chou went outside the bamboo house and fell asleep holding the bow and arrow in his hand.

Gu Junyao looked at the empty house. There was only a straw bed made of stones. She lay on it reluctantly for a while.

But she felt a pain in her waist and back lying there, so she pushed the chair against the door so that she would not be disturbed easily in the middle of the night. She was also afraid that Ah Chou would suddenly come in. Ah Chou was so good at martial arts, if he really wanted to bully her, why would he wait until now? Gu Junyao thought about it and sat on the bed. She didn't close her eyes all night, but it was very quiet outside.

Gu Mansion.

The person has been missing for three days and even the body has not been found. Some villagers have discovered that there are wolves nearby, and it is very likely that the body has been eaten by the wolves.

Mrs. Gu was heartbroken when she heard this. Gu Junyue wiped away her tears and said, "Mother, my sister's body is still warm. Let's hold a funeral for her."

"No, I want to see her alive or dead. I will wait for your sister to come back no matter what time it is." Mrs. Gu sat on the chair and cried so hard that her face was haggard and her eyes had lost their luster.

In the palace, Gu Yunru wrote several Buddhist scriptures for Gu Junyao to pray for her soul to be liberated, which served as a symbol of putting an end to their grievances.

"Qing Xing, take it to the backyard and burn it at night when no one is in the palace, okay?"

Qing Xing pursed her lips and said, "Miss, the second young lady treated you like that when she was alive, don't you hate her at all in your heart?" Qing Xing was a little confused. The eldest young lady seemed depressed these days, probably because of the second young lady's matter.

Gu Yunru sighed and said, "The person is already dead, why are you still talking about that?"

"Okay, by the way, Concubine Shu sent someone to deliver a pair of orioles, saying that the orioles sing beautifully, so they should be hung in the young lady's yard."

Qing Xing didn't know what the Concubine Shu was thinking. She still remembered clearly the last time she was slapped in the face.

"Hang it outside the yard."

"yes."

As soon as it got dark, Gu Yunru took the written Buddhist scriptures to the backyard and asked Qingxing to keep watch. At the moment, she could only do these things in the palace. If she returned to the Gu Mansion, she knew that with Madam Gu's temper, she would kick her out without hesitation.

"Gu Junyao, Gu Junyao thought you were the biggest enemy in this film, but I didn't expect you to die so early. Although I don't have a good impression of you, you are still my second sister in name. You should read these Buddhist scriptures carefully below. You must be reborn into a good family in the next life. Don't be so arrogant anymore."

Gu Yunru had a sad face and was halfway through burning the Buddhist scriptures when she suddenly heard footsteps. She said unhappily, "Qingxing, didn't I tell you to stay and watch over there? Why are you back?"

"It's me."

Rong Zhen's voice! Gu Yunru knew that burning things in the palace was a taboo, so she asked Qingxing to keep watch, but Rong Zhen came unexpectedly. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she burned all the things.

"A Zhao, when did you come? Where's Qing Xing?"

Gu Yunru tried to calm down, but she was still very nervous. Rong Zhen looked at her stunning face and suddenly smiled evilly, saying, "Don't worry, she's fine."

"What's wrong with you? You appeared so mysteriously today. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Looking at Rong Zhen, Gu Yunru began to feel doubtful. He would not tell anyone what happened today, right? If the Queen Mother knew about it, she would definitely not forgive her.

"I just came to see you, but I didn't expect you to be burning paper here. I've heard about Gu Junyao's situation. I'm sorry for your loss."

Looking at his expression, it seemed as if he had come to tell her, "My condolences." Gu Yunru frowned in disbelief and asked, "You're telling me, "My condolences?"

"Yeah, what?"

"Nothing, it's just a little sudden." Gu Yunru scratched her head awkwardly, invited him in for a cup of tea, sat aside and said, "A Zhao, let's postpone our marriage."

Rong Zhen looked at her expression but didn't say anything. He took a sip from the teacup and put it back.

"I know your concerns. By the way, how is Yingpin doing recently?"
