Chapter 1076: Familiar Box

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Where are you going?” Gu Yundong looked at the sky. It was already so late. He could not possibly go to the Million Gold Pavilion.

Shao Qingyuan had already reached the door. He waved his hand. “I’ll be back in a while.”

When Gu Yundong wanted to ask again, he had already disappeared behind the door. He moved very quickly and disappeared in an instant.

Gu Yundong was confused. After a while, she turned around and returned to the courtyard.

Then, she saw Gu Dafeng packing up, especially the wooden carvings scattered in the courtyard. She had gathered them one by one.

Gu Yundong walked over to help tidy up the house. “Eldest Aunt, you don’t have to be in such a hurry. You haven’t seen the house yet. What if you’re not satisfied?”

“If I’m not satisfied, so be it. It doesn’t matter. I’ll have to clean it up sooner or later anyway. Hey, pass that to me.”

Gu Yundong followed the direction of her finger and handed over a wooden sculpture.

Gu Dafeng took it and looked up at her. “Where did Qingyuan go?”

“I don’t know. It looks like it’s an emergency.”

Gu Dafeng nodded. “That must be very urgent and important. Qingyuan is a good child and knows his limits. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“Eldest Aunt seems to have a very high opinion of him?”

“That’s true. He may look cold on the outside, but his heart is warm. Although he doesn’t know how to say good things, the things he does make people feel warm in their hearts. Your uncle’s legs have been inconvenient these days. When Qingyuan sees him, he will help. Even if he goes to the toilet, he will carry him. Tell me, who would be willing to do this, especially a young man who is not related to us? Isn’t it because he dotes on you?”

As she spoke, she thought of Bian Mulan’s husband. If it was him, he definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.

Her niece was blessed and would lead a good life in the future.

Gu Yundong pursed her lips and smiled. Shao Qingyuan was indeed not bad, but he did not know how to put in a good word… She did not agree. This fellow was smart.

She and Gu Dafeng chatted as they packed. She originally thought that Shao Qingyuan would return soon after leaving.

Unexpectedly, he only appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard in a hurry when the sun set.

Besides him, there was also Shao Wen—the former Ah Mao.

Shao Wen was carrying two large boxes of things. They looked like tea leaves and wine. Moreover, from the packaging outside, they were the most expensive ones in the prefecture capital.

Shao Qingyuan was holding a familiar box.

Gu Yundong’s eyelids twitched. A familiar feeling welled up in his heart.

She was about to go forward and ask him where he had gone when she saw Shao Qingyuan wink at her before striding into the central room.

Gu Dajiang was talking to the three children. They were very curious about the matter in the examination shed and were asking about the difference between the county and prefectural examinations.

Just as they were listening with relish, they saw Shao Qingyuan enter.

He said to Gu Dajiang, “Uncle Gu, I have something to tell you.”

Seeing his solemn expression, Gu Dajiang nodded and said to the three children, “Alright, go out first. We’ll talk later.”

After the little ones left, Gu Dajiang brought Shao Qingyuan to the study.

Gu Yundong stood in the courtyard, his heart suddenly racing.

Gu Dafeng had walked to her side and stood still. He asked softly, “Why is Qingyuan looking for your father? He looks very serious.”

“I’m not sure either.” Although she said that, she could not help but clench her fists.

Just as she finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from inside.
