Chapter 280: Returning to the Gu Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong was stunned and immediately stood up.
That’s right, the Gu family?
Many of the refugees who had escaped from Yongning Prefecture had returned after the disaster relief from the Imperial Court.
When Gu Dajiang left Qing’an Prefecture, he either went to the Xuanhe Prefecture after receiving news of them or he only knew that they weren’t in Qing’an Prefecture. Then, the first place he would go would probably be the Gu family.
It was closer to Yongning Prefecture from Qing’an Prefecture. Gu Yundong thought that since she was out, she might as well take this opportunity to return to Old Gu’s house.
It would be best if they could find Gu Dajiang. If they couldn’t, they had to seek revenge.
She still remembered the time when Gu Dahe hit her on the head and stole her money.
At the thought of this, Gu Yundong lowered her head and began to write.
She wrote two letters, one to Aunt Ke and the other to Shao Qingyuan. She said that she might need some time to go back and asked them to take care of the family and not worry about her.
After writing, she stuffed it into a long and thin post box made of bamboo and brought the letter to Shopkeeper Cao.
She wanted to find out if there were reputable caravans going to the Xuanhe Prefecture in two days. Unexpectedly, the Huimin Medical Center was about to send a batch of medicine to the medical center in the Xuanhe Prefecture. Moreover, they were in a hurry and would set off in the afternoon.
Gu Yundong immediately handed the mailbox containing the letter to Shopkeeper Cao. She gave the leader of the delivery team money and asked him to deliver the letter.
With Shopkeeper Cao around, there was naturally no need to worry.
Shopkeeper Cao was a little emotional when he found out that she was leaving. Gu Yundong had asked him to tell Bai Yang that she was leaving if he saw him again, so that she would not drop by.
Then, Gu Yundong began to pack her things. She went to the notice board and took off Gu Dajiang’s portrait.
From Wang Xiaomei, other than knowing that her father was not in the Qing’an Prefecture, she also knew that her father had also contributed to catching bandits. She was worried that someone would hate him and look for him everywhere with this portrait.
This portrait was too lifelike.
When Gu Yundong took off the portrait, she heard the surrounding people discussing.
Only then did she know that someone had really used this portrait to find the person. It was the blacksmith brothers.
Gu Yundong felt that it was quite good. Although it was immoral to use them back then, she had also helped them.
She hoped that others would find what they wanted.
When Gu Yundong took the portrait and left the notice wall with Madam Yang, she happened to see Bao Chunhua.
This person frowned and looked at her with a complicated gaze.
After a long time, he went forward and said, “What my wife said that day was all fake. She made it up. Gu Dajiang might still be in Qing’an Prefecture.”
Gu Yundong wanted to laugh. Although Wang Xiaomei was a little selfish and heartless, this Bao Chunhua was not bad.
She took two steps closer and said in a low voice, “Brother, don’t worry. Gu Dajiang doesn’t owe me money. I only wrote on the notice that he doesn’t want to repay the debt because I want to find him as soon as possible.”
She didn’t mention her relationship with Gu Dajiang. After all, it wasn’t to that extent.
Bao Chunhua was stunned. “Really?”
“Otherwise, do you think two weak women like us can really ask Gu Dajiang for the debt even if we find him?” She took out a banknote worth ten taels of silver. “This is the promised silver. Take it.”
Bao Chunhua took a few steps back and refused to take it. “I can’t take it. My, my wife was up to no good.”
“But she gave me information after all. Take it.” Gu Yundong stuffed the banknote into his hand and left with Madam Yang.
Bao Chunhua stood rooted to the ground and did not speak for a long time.
Gu Yundong bought some more things from the Qing’an Prefecture and returned the house. She set off the next day..
