Chapter 308 Gu Zixuan Returns Home

Gu Zixuan led his men to fight back, and all the Huns on the street had been wiped out. After making sure it was safe, Su Jin stood up and said goodbye.

She was still worried about the situation at home, and even Gu Sui Yu followed her back.

Corpses could be seen everywhere on the road, the cries of women, the smell of burning wood, and the ruins on the ground, leaving behind the devastation of war everywhere.

The more Gu Suiyu looked, the more shocked he became.

She is the one who has truly never seen these things.

Having been pampered in the Marquis' Mansion since childhood and grown up in a honey pot, he only became aware of the intrigues among people after taking over the family business. Now, these cruel realities have deeply shocked Gu Suiyu's heart.

Is this a war?

So scary.

She still remembers what her mother said when she pushed her out of the window.

The mother and daughter walked in silence all the way back to the mansion, escorted by the guards of the Grand Princess's mansion.

Standing at the gate, Su Jin looked around and found that the place where he lived was very peaceful. He did not see any damaged houses, nor did he hear any crying. It was just that the surroundings were so eerily quiet that even the barking of dogs that he often heard on weekdays seemed to have disappeared.

"Sixth Miss, the place where you live is a little off the beaten track, so the Huns haven't come here yet."

The guard said to her, "However, we should go back and check first. Only when we are sure that everything is fine can we leave without any worries."

Su Jin nodded and went to knock on the door himself. The house was completely silent, but the knocking sound echoed throughout the alley, making the surroundings even quieter.

"It's me, open the door."

Su Jin spoke in a low voice, and after a while a joyful voice came from inside the door: "Girl, the girl is back!"

"Open the door quickly, it's too dangerous outside!"

Yuchuan's voice was heard, and soon the door opened. Yuchuan showed up with a look of surprise, and she pulled Su Jin and Gu Suiyu in almost quickly.

"It's okay, we're safe, General Zhaowu is leading his men back!"

Upon hearing that General Zhaowu had fought back, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The sounds of windows and doors opening could be heard all around, and someone upstairs looked out cautiously, as if to confirm the situation Su Jin described.

"General Zhaowu, isn't that Brother Xuan?"

Yuchuan was delighted. Xuan Ge'er came back and saved everyone!

That’s great!

"Yes, we are all safe!"

Su Jin walked in with a smile, and Yuchuan quickly stuck her head out to look. Sure enough, there was no sound of fighting outside, but there were a few unfamiliar guards standing at the door.

"Since Sixth Miss's house is safe, we will go back first!"

The leading man bowed, Su Jin nodded, and everyone turned back.

It was not until then that Yuchuan was convinced that everything was really alright.

"Girl, you don't know, it was really thrilling!"

Yuchuan felt relieved, and seeing that Su Jin and Gu Suiyu were fine, she started talking to them. Her mouth was never idle.

It turned out that after the Huns entered the city, they went straight to the place where the princes and nobles lived. They didn't even bother to come to the place where the poor common people lived. Su Jin was coming back from the Grand Princess's Mansion, so all he saw along the way were the ruins left after the Huns burned, killed and looted. However, after Su Jin's divorce, as a commoner, she couldn't live in the noble neighborhood, so buying a yard on the street where the common people lived turned out to be a life-saving thing.

"Fortunately, they divorced. If they were still in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, they would be doomed. The old Marquis is gone, and Lord Gu is unpopular. I'm afraid that Yong'an Marquis' Mansion would not even have anyone to help take care of it..."

As Yuchuan was talking, Su Jin just remembered the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

But what does it have to do with her?

It sounds nice to say that she treated her as a goddaughter, but after the emperor's decree of house arrest came down, didn't Zou let the two children go back to live immediately?

When nothing happened before, I never saw Zou coming to call anyone!

As for Gu Changqing, there is no need to worry about him. This man should have died last year, and no one knows whether he died this year.

Su Jin's face was calm, but he couldn't suppress the disgust in his eyes.

"Is everything okay in the mansion?"

Yuchuan nodded: "Fortunately, the Huns are not coming, and we are all quiet. Brother Daniu taught us two tricks temporarily. We don't ask for anything else, just hope that if they really come, we can escape..."

Yuchuan started chattering again. It turned out that after Manager Zhang came, Jinchuan called Daniu to discuss the matter. Daniu was also very decisive. He changed his knife himself and asked several strong maids to bring weapons as well. Young maids like Yuchuan and Jinchuan changed into dirty clothes and tried to reduce their presence.

But the sound of fighting died down before it reached this side, and everyone finally put their minds at ease.

As for the losses, since the Huns did not come, there was naturally no loss in the mansion. I just don’t know if the shops and farms outside suffered any losses.

Su Jin said, "Ask the chef to make more delicious food today. Everyone has been frightened, so just treat it as a relief."

Everyone thanked Su Jin, and delicious food was brought up in the evening.

Su Jin sent Jin Chuan to the city gate to see if Gu Zilu had returned. Jin Chuan stayed until the city gate was closed, and her face looked very ugly when she came back.

"Miss, the city gates are strictly checked, and entry and exit are strictly controlled. Many people even have to report their names and addresses in person. However, I haven't seen Brother Lu and Mr...."

Everyone's heart sank.

Su Jin also took a deep breath.

"Mother……"

Gu Suiyu looked over worriedly. Su Jin said, "Lucky people will be blessed by heaven. Brother Lu will be fine. Eat first. Your eldest brother has returned. He will definitely come to see me after he finishes his official business. When the time comes, let him go find him."

After all, it is not as convenient to be a commoner as to be a soldier.

Gu Suiyu then nodded.

Everyone in the garden finally had a peaceful meal, voices were finally heard on the street outside, and the news that General Zhaowu had a close relationship with the Huns finally spread.

The Su family went to bed early, without even waiting for the lights to be turned on.

He finished his meal and went to bed almost as soon as it got dark.

Everyone was frightened, so now that they have eaten and drunk enough, they naturally need to have a good rest, because tomorrow, there will be things to do.

The capital city, which had experienced war, finally calmed down.

The palace was brightly lit until dawn.

Su Jin slept well the night before and got up early the next day.

At noon, Yuchuan ran in excitedly and said, "Miss, Brother Xuan is back!"

Everyone in the room looked up in surprise. Even Gu Suiyu, who had been much more stable recently, stood up excitedly and rushed to the door.

"Brother, brother is back!"

I waited for three years, or to be exact, less than two years, but to everyone, it seemed as long as a lifetime.

Su Jin sat firmly in the main seat, but his eyes could not help but look outside.

My brother Xuan is in the northwest and finally comes back.
