Chapter 700: Something’s Wrong with Madam Wan
Editor: Henyee Translations
Xue Zongguang said, “Master went to the Jiao Village next door to look for someone yesterday.”
As he spoke, he invited Gu Yundong into the central room. Then, he turned his head and urged Madam Wan, “Why aren’t you pouring tea?”
After Madam Wan left, Gu Yundong asked, “Why did he go to the Jiao Village? Did he encounter any trouble?”
Xue Zongguang was a little hesitant, as if he was wondering if he should say something.
Gu Yundong raised his eyebrows. “If you can’t say, then forget it.”
“No.” In the end, Xue Zongguang still replied, “Actually, a self-taught doctor passed by the manor two days ago to stay. When I was chatting with him, I heard him say that he had a lot of rare medicinal herbs on hand. Master had previously instructed people to keep an eye on Bai Muzi. If there was any news, they would immediately report it to him. Therefore, I asked if there was such a medicine. To my surprise, the self-taught doctor really did have it. I immediately sent a letter to Master.”
Because a portion of the land on the farm had been rented to plant medicinal herbs, Xue Zongguang had also gotten to know a few herbs.
Bai Muzi, in particular, had been requested by his master. He had also seen the Bai Muzi that the self-taught doctor had taken out. It really looked like that, but he was not sure, so he quickly reported it to his master.
Gu Yundong was stunned. So Shao Qingyuan said that there was an urgent matter because he had received news about Bai Muzi? Was he here to confirm if Bai Muzi was real or fake?
This person was really…
Xue Zongguang saw that she did not speak and he felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that he should not have said these things? However, his master had said long ago that this manor would belong to Miss Gu in the future, including their Xue family. Seriously speaking, Miss Gu was his master, so he naturally could not hide it.
Gu Yundong suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and asked, “Is the self-taught doctor in the Jiao Village now?”
“Yes, the doctor traveled everywhere to treat patients. He waited in the manor for two days and couldn’t wait anymore, so he went to the Jiao Village. After Master came, he quickly went to the Jiao Village.”
As she spoke, Madam Wan had already brought in tea.
Gu Yundong asked Xue Zongguang, “Which direction is the Jiao Village?”
“Miss, are you going to look for Master?”
As Gu Yundong spoke, she saw from the corner of her eye that Madam Wan’s hand, which was holding the tea, paused for a moment. Then, she acted as if nothing had happened.
Xue Zongguang did not see it. He only nodded and said, “Alright, Miss, rest for a while and have some tea. I’ll feed the horses some grass. We’ll set off in a while.”
Seeing Gu Yundong nod in agreement, Xue Zongguang left the central room.
Madam Wan smiled at Gu Yundong and left.
As soon as the two of them left, Tong Shuitao whispered into Gu Yundong’s ear, “Miss, there’s something wrong with that Madam Wan. When she saw us, her eyes were flickering. It seems like she’s hiding something from us.”
Gu Yundong looked at her in surprise. “Not bad. You can even tell that something is wrong with Madam Wan.”
Tong Shuitao was slightly smug. “After all, I’ve been by Miss’s side for so long. I have to improve.”
“Alright, since you think there’s something wrong with the Wan family, follow them and take a look.”
Tong Shuitao immediately became excited. “Yes, Miss.”
“Be careful. Don’t let anyone find out.”
Tong Shuitao clenched her fists. “Miss, don’t worry. I’ve learned martial arts for so long. I have this ability to eavesdrop.”
It was as if eavesdropping was a glorious thing.
Gu Yundong was very upset. She waved her hand and asked her to leave quickly.
Tong Shuitao chuckled, but her footsteps were very light as she followed Madam Wan.
