172 Not Everything Bends to Human Will
Holding the deed in her hand, Gu Qingxue got back into the carriage.
Nanny Sheng poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingxue and said with a smile, “Miss, didn’t you say that you don’t want to return to Jing City anymore? Why do you still keep your money here?”
“Not everything bends to human will. Besides, my foster father and the others are still in Jing City, so we still have to come here often.” Gu Qingxue reached out her hand and patted the heads of the three children, “When we come back next time, mother will take you to meet your grandparents.”
“Okay!” The three children nodded at the same time.
“Mother, can we go and see Lil’ Han again before we leave?” Dumby asked Gu Qingxue expectantly.
“I want to go too. We haven’t seen Lil’ Han for a long time,” Lingbao agreed.
Gu Lin asked worriedly, “Mother, has Lil’ Han recovered?”
“Not yet. When Lil’ Han recovers, mother will bring you here. Then, he will be able to play cuju with you.” At the mention of Rong Han, Gu Qingxue could not hide the longing in her eyes.
Actually, when she returned this time, the one she missed the most was Rong Han.
Her heart was clearly thinking about Rong Han, but Gu Qingxue could not help but recall the unexpected hug between her and Rong Zhan at the prince regent’s manor yesterday.
Whether it was in her past life or present life, she had never had such intimate contact with a man.
“Mother, have you caught a cold? Your face is so red,” asked Dumby worriedly.
Gu Qingxue quickly took a sip of tea and cleared her throat. “It’s probably too hot in the carriage. Well, you should close your eyes and rest. We still have to travel for a few days.
The three children nodded obediently, closing their eyes and falling asleep.
Time flew by. Six days later, in Dafu Village…
Gu Qingxue and her group drove all the way. They finally arrived at Dafu Village in the evening after spending six days and five nights.
The weather was even colder than when they left. The heavy snow yesterday had dyed Dafu Village white. The three children were clamoring to get out of the car even before they reached home.
“Mother, let us go down. I want to give Xiaohuathe velvet flowers I bought!” Lingbao could not suppress the joy in her eyes. She was so excited that she wanted to get out of the car.
“Okay, then you can go and play with your friends. But remember to come back before it gets dark,” Gu Qingxue reminded the three children. She asked the driver to stop the car and carried the three cubs down.
Gu Qingxue watched the three children running further and further away. She was about to turn around and get into the car when she saw a black shadow from the corner of her eye.
Gu Qingxue frowned in confusion and looked into the distance carefully.
However, she could not see the black shadow anywhere, as if it was just her imagination.
“Miss, why aren’t you getting into the carriage?” The coachman urged her.
“I’ll get into the carriage now. Sorry for the trouble.” Gu Qingxue looked away and got into the carriage again.
After fifteen minutes, the carriage stopped outside the courtyard.
Nanny Sheng helped Madam Qi get out of the carriage and said with a smile, “Old Madam, we’ll live here from now on.”
“Xue’er, let Xue’er stay with us.” Madam Qi was afraid that Gu Qingxue would leave, so they turned around and pulled Gu Qingxue who was getting out of the car.
Gu Qingxue stuffed the old woman in her arms into the Qi family’s arms and said with a smile, “Grandma, our family will live here in the future. Come, let me show you your room first.”
