Chapter 348: Preparing to Bid Farewell
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Now that the matters here were almost resolved, since his father was not here, Gu Yundong was prepared to go back.
She gave the owner of Xingsheng Restaurant more than ten catties of white sugar and asked him to pay more attention to Gu village. If Gu Dajiang or his aunt and uncle returned, he would tell them that she was safe and that she and the family were at the Xuanhe Prefecture.
Gu Yundong had left him the address of Aunt Ke’s house in the prefectural city of the Xuanhe Prefecture. This was to prevent Old Gu’s family from running to Yongfu Village to cause trouble when they heard the news.
Secondly, there were many people going to the prefecture capital, so it would be easier to find Aunt Ke’s house.
Originally, she had wanted to leave Nie Cong’s address. After all, Aunt Ke was now staying in Yongfu Village. If she liked that place, Gu Yundong also wanted her to continue staying there. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for her to live alone.
However, Nie Cong’s family was wealthy. If her father and the rest went over, they might not be able to see Nie Cong. It was better to leave Aunt Ke’s address. When the time came, she would have to trouble the neighbors to keep an eye out.
The owner of Xingsheng Restaurant liked white sugar very much and had a good relationship with Gu Dajiang. He agreed without hesitation.
When everything was settled, Gu Yundong began to pack her luggage and clothes. She had not stayed here for long, so she did not have many things.
However, he bought a lot of trinkets for Madam Yang and Bian Yuanzhi as a memento.
Just as she was packing her luggage, there was a knock on the door.
Ah Mao’s voice came from outside the door. “My lady, Miss Shen is here.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. She opened the door and saw Mdm Shen standing outside. She was dressed in dark green clothes and looked a little haggard.
When she saw Gu Yundong, her smile was very gentle.
Gu Yundong glanced at the bag on her back and was a little surprised. “What are you…”
“I’m here to bid you farewell.”
Gu Yundong let her in and poured her a glass of water. “Farewell? Where are you going? Will Old Gu’s family let you go?”
It was early in the morning and still a little cold outside. Mdm Shen took a sip of hot water and felt much warmer.
She smiled. “So what if they won’t let me go?”
Gu Gang could not even speak. He stared and drooled all day. Madam Wang wanted to detain her as a slave. Now that Gu Gang was no longer supporting her, Madam Wang wanted to bully her to death, but she was no longer obedient.
As for Madam Yu and her husband, they were still trying their best to find out where Gu Wanbao was.
Didn’t Madam Yu use such a despicable method to send her to Gu Gang’s bed because she was afraid that Madam Shen would pester Gu Wanbao?
Now, Madam Shen would let her have a taste of losing her son.
Mdm Shen was overjoyed and her smile became brighter. “Back then, when Gu Gang wanted to take me in as his concubine, I lied and said that I had lost my household registration certificate. In fact, I had been hiding it all along. When Gu Gang wanted to go to the government office to get me a new one, I thought of a way to delay it until now. Although I’m his concubine on the surface, I’m still a good citizen. Even if I escape, they can’t do anything to me.”
Although the refugees had been back to their hometown for some time, because the two villages had merged, many household registrations were still unclear, so she was not an exception.
Gu Yundong admired her. “Then where do you plan to go?”
“I’ll just go home.” Mdm Shen sighed faintly.
“I remember you saying that your home is in a town on the other side of Feng County, right? Feng County is not close to here.”
It could even be said that it was far away. After leaving Jiangyu County, they had to pass through the Yongning Prefecture.
“Why don’t you wait for another day? We’ll give you a ride. We have to pass by anyway..”
