letter
The sunlight was shining brightly on the street outside the general's mansion.
The man had just shaken off the woman's hand, but at this moment he suddenly grabbed her arm.
Wu Ren was confused. He didn't expect that the person he had been looking for for so long would suddenly appear on the street. He couldn't control his expression for a moment and it looked a little distorted.
"You're not dead?!"
"No." Mingyu was happy but also a little confused. "Isn't it obvious?"
She just stood there, her heart beating well and warm, and her arm was hurting from being grabbed by the other person.
Wu Ren ignored Mingyu's complaints and was still immersed in his own emotions for a while.
"We all thought you were dead."
Mingyu wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw that Wu Ren's eyes were red. She was about to comfort him, but she heard Wu Ren gritting his teeth and speaking with some resentment.
"Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"
Wait, why did she feel like something was wrong with the direction they were going?
But that’s not the point.
Mingyu looked around. They had been staying here for a while and had attracted a lot of attention.
Wu Ren on this side was completely oblivious to the situation around him, still holding onto Mingyu's arm tightly, as if he was holding onto his enemy.
"I know you're very excited, but please calm down. This is not a good place to talk. Find a quiet place first."
Wu Ren seemed to have difficulty catching his breath. He glared at Mingyu, and then glared fiercely at the people around him. Then, still without letting go, he pulled Mingyu towards the general's mansion.
When Mingyu was pulled in, she made eye contact with the guard, her eyes full of embarrassment. Two days ago, she had asked the guard if he was hiring, and it was obvious that the other party had not forgotten.
Now he was dragged into the general's mansion like a fugitive.
Wu Ren pulled her with ease and walked into a courtyard, ignoring the servants in the general's mansion.
Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Rencai let go of her arm, crossed his arms and looked at her seriously.
"Tell me, where have you been hiding all this time?"
Mingyu stretched her arms, took off her veil, and revealed her face, looking somewhat helpless.
"...Is it me who escaped death?" Why did she feel as if she had done something extremely evil?
Wu Ren was choked for a moment. He realized that there was something wrong with his question, but he couldn't control himself.
"Do you know how long I've been looking for you? I even suspected you were taken away by a wolf from the grassland. I even went to the wolf den to see if there was any trace of your body."
As Wu Ren spoke, his voice gradually became louder.
Seeing Wu Ren's emotions starting to lose control again, Mingyu hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to do that. Calm down and take a deep breath."
The two of them stared at each other.
Finally, Wu Ren took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.
"Then you have to tell me what happened during this period so I can report to the young master, right?" Wu Ren's eyes began to redden again when he said this. "Do you know how worried the young master is? You've been missing for almost a month, and we're about to help you with your funeral."
Mingyu coaxed softly, "Look, I'm fine now, don't cry."
Mingyu knew that between Wu Ren and Wu Pi, Wu Ren was the more emotional one, but it was still a headache to deal with him in practice.
"I followed the flowing water of Xiangshui Lake all the way down. I didn't know where I ended up. Later, I was rescued and brought ashore. I passed out from the wound on my back. Didn't I come to find you as soon as I felt better?"
"I'm not crying, are you trying to comfort a child?" Wu Ren said as he thought of something, "If he hadn't threatened Wu Pi and me and knocked the young master unconscious, would the following events have happened?"
But after he learned that Mingyu was missing, he felt like he couldn't breathe when he received Wu Pi's letter. He felt that he had let the young master down. If he hadn't given Mingyu a horse and hadn't obeyed Mingyu's orders, would the young master have been less heartbroken?
Mingyu then remembered that Yu Tongan and the others probably didn't know that Gan Yajie already knew that the Yu family was involved with her.
From Wu Ren's perspective, Mingyu disobeyed the young master's order and left alone, but was somehow caught by the city lord and eventually disappeared with his life or death unknown.
The whole thing was simply what he deserved. Wu Ren had to search for Mingyu day and night for a whole month without sleep. He must have been resentful towards her.
She was going to write a letter to inform Yu Tongan and the Third Prince about this matter, as well as about Gan Yajie being poisoned...
Mingyu was still thinking about it, and Wu Ren continued to blame Mingyu.
"Wu Pi said that the young master was a little emotionally broken. He hadn't been able to rest well since your accident. Plus, Old Master Yu was too old, so he fainted. I wasn't with him because I was looking for you, and I couldn't send Old Master Yu off properly, you know..."
"Too old?"
Wu Ren looked into Mingyu's eyes and said, "Guo Lao is what we call it in our area. It means that Old Master Yu has passed away, and Wu Pi said it is a happy funeral."
Mingyu opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know what to say or how to react.
"When did it happen?"
"It was just two weeks ago. The burial should have been completed by now." Wu Ren looked at Mingyu, his eyes full of accusation. "So how reckless were you in doing this?"
I didn't expect that the old woman would die at this time. Speaking of which, it was Old Master Yu who made an indispensable contribution to her escape from the palace and her rescue.
Mingyu felt a little heavy-hearted and remained silent for a while, but she did not accept such accusations.
"Gan Yajie knows that Yu Tongan and I, Mingyu, are in the same faction. What do you think would have happened if we hadn't separated?"
Before Wu Ren could say anything, Mingyu continued his analysis, "She already knew Gan Yajie would definitely take action, because 'Gu Bei' made a high-profile appearance in her place. If she doesn't do anything, the Emperor will know immediately, and then it will become a problem for Gan Yajie and Wan Yong."
"If I go with you, it won't be 'Gubei' that will be in trouble, but the Yu family." After saying that, Mingyu sighed.
She had only met Old Master Yu twice, but Yu Tong'an was probably heartbroken. He had a deep relationship with Old Master Yu, and he probably couldn't accept even a happy funeral, just like the death of her master.
No wonder Wu Ren was so anxious.
"We should be able to send a letter to Yu Tongan now, right?" After the appearance of the third prince, it was impossible for the emperor not to be wary of the Yu family helping the orphan of Emperor Dewen.
"Yes." Wu Rencai reacted to the information given by Mingyu.
"Then I'll write a letter to Yu Tongan explaining the situation. Can you help deliver it?" Mingyu adjusted her veil and wrapped herself up again.
Before Wu Ren could answer, a man's voice came from the door.
"Brother Wu Ren, I heard you brought someone back..." The man walked in blankly and was stunned when he saw the two people standing in the yard. "Who is this?"
Mingyu looked at Wu Ren, waiting for him to judge the situation.
"This is the Mingyu we're looking for." Wu Ren briefly introduced him. "This is Zheng Pinggui's son, Zheng Yan. He's been helping me find you."
"Greetings, Master Zheng." Mingyu greeted the other party calmly.
Zheng Yan looked at Wu Ren, then at Ming Yu, feeling somewhat incredulous.
"Were they found it?" They had been searching non-stop for nearly a month, and it ended just like that?
Zheng Yan had a feeling that it was unreal, as if they had been busy for a long time but had not been able to help in any way.
"Thank you, Zheng Mansion, for your help."
Mingyu bowed and glanced at Wu Ren, who also thanked him.
Zheng Yan waved his hands hurriedly: "You're welcome, we are also following the Third Prince's orders."
"The third prince?" Mingyu looked at Wu Ren inquiringly.
Wu Ren whispered to Mingyu about the situation: "The young master wrote a letter to the Third Prince, and the Third Prince agreed to help find you."
"It's not just Master Yu's fault," Zheng Yan interrupted to explain, "but I'm not sure about the specific reason. You'll have to wait for my father to come back and ask him."
What did the Third Prince want to see her about?
"Could you please arrange accommodation for me during this period?"
"Of course." Zheng Yan agreed.
…
The house had not been cleaned up yet, so Mingyu wrote a letter to Wu Ren and others.
Wu Ren walked in and walked slowly to the side of Mingyu.
Mingyu was writing a letter with his head down. He sensed Wu Ren's arrival but did not look up.
"how?"
"I'm sorry I got angry at you without knowing the truth." Wu Ren lowered his head and looked at Mingyu quietly, "You're not angry, are you?"
Mingyu chuckled. She thought it was something else.
"I knew you were stupid. It's okay."
"What?!" Wu Ren suddenly wanted to refute, but when he realized he was in the wrong, he held back. "Are you fully healed? Do you want me to find a doctor?"
"It won't interfere with the activities, so there's no need." Mingyu lowered his head to read the letter to see if there was anything he had missed.
"Remember to comfort the young master. He must be very sad right now. He will definitely feel better knowing that you are not dead." Wu Ren suddenly thought of something. "When did you get here? Why did you go to the inn to get things? If you came earlier, why didn't you come to see us?"
Mingyu casually replied, "There's no way, how can I find it?"
"...Just go to the Yu family shop. You know if you ask me or the young master, they will take you directly to me." Wu Ren was a little confused. "Didn't the young master tell you? That's what he told me."
Mingyu paused, and seemed to have said something, but she had forgotten.
Looking back, she thought every step she took was wise, but now her face felt a little red.
“…”
Wu Ren's eyes became more suspicious: "You didn't forget..."
Mingyu said calmly, "I just don't know what the situation is right now. I'll stay at the inn and figure it out for a while."
Wu Ren was very suspicious, because Mingyu's tone was exactly the same as when the young master fooled him.
"Shouldn't you help me check if the house is cleaned up?"
Wu Ren didn't move and continued to stare at the Ming fish.
"Go quickly." Mingyu urged.
Only then did Wu Ren slowly walk out.
Mingyu's gaze returned to the letter, and he recalled Wu Ren's words about writing some comforting words.
Does Yu Tongan need her comfort? Any comfort at this moment would be powerless.
Mingyu looked towards the yard. The plants in the yard were all native to Xibei Town and looked like something Mingyu had never seen before.
She thought of her master and wondered if he had been here before.
For a moment, the pen stayed on the letter and could not write for a long time.
