Chapter 1374: Something Urgent

Editor: Henyee Translations

After the people in the carriage got out, the coachman hurriedly went forward and knocked on the door.

Instead, after knocking for a long time, there was no response. The coachman turned around and looked at the person behind him.

Song Dejiang frowned when he heard someone open the door of the house next door. Mrs. Yu poked her head out. When she saw them, she hurriedly said, "Are you looking for the Shao family? They’re not around. The couple went out in a carriage early in the morning."

When Song Dejiang heard this, he quickly turned around and asked her, "Do you know where they went?"

Mrs. Yu shook her head. "I’m not sure about that. Is there something urgent? Leave your name. When they come back, I’ll help you tell them."

"My surname is Song. They’ll know once you tell them. I do have something urgent to attend to. If they come back, please help me pass on the message."

Mrs. Yu waved her hand. "It’s no trouble at all."

Song Dejiang thanked her again before wiping his sweat and hurriedly getting into the carriage.

He glanced at the Shao family’s gate and said to the coachman, "Let’s go to the shop on Jinlan Street to take a look."

The coachman quickly changed direction and went straight to 68 Jinlan Street.

Unfortunately, when Song Dejiang stood in the shop, he only saw the busy Carpenter Pang and the other two. Carpenter Pang said that Shao Qingyuan and his wife had not come today.

Song Dejiang was a little frustrated. When the coachman saw this, he quickly helped him up. "Master, we don’t have time to look for them. If we don’t go back, we might..."

Song Dejiang exhaled, and something in his eyes slowly became firm.

He gritted his teeth and lowered the curtain of the carriage. He instructed the coachman, "Let’s go back to the residence. At most, I’ll apologize to them when they come back."

The coachman nodded and drove the carriage even faster. Soon, they returned to the Song family.

At this moment, Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong had no idea that Song Dejiang was looking for them anxiously.

They had already followed Madam Ge to the door of Marquis Huaiyin’s family. Gu Yundong glanced at the door, turned around, and said to Shao Qingyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, "I’ll go in first."

"Okay, be careful. If you see anything wrong, come out."

Gu Yundong laughed. "I’m just going to admire the flowers. Why do you make it seem like I’m going to the battlefield? Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself."

Shao Qingyuan held her hand. "I’ll wait for you outside."

After Gu Yundong got off the carriage, Shao Qingyuan nodded at Madam Ge. "Sorry to trouble you."

It was not until Madam Ge led Gu Yundong and Anning into the residence that Shao Qingyuan sat back in the carriage.

This was the main gate of the Marquis Mansion, so it was not appropriate for the carriage to stop here and wait.

Shao Qingyuan looked around and realized that there were also some official residences near the Marquis Mansion. There were no large teahouses or restaurants, but there was a tea shop at the entrance of an alley further away.

Shao Qingyuan asked Shao Wen to pull the carriage away and sat down in the shop.

Gu Yundong followed Madam Ge through the door and quietly looked up to assess the scenery in the Marquis Mansion.

As expected of the once prosperous Marquis Huaiyin’s Mansion. The mansion was even larger than the one the emperor had bestowed to Qin Wenzheng. Even though the current Marquis’s Mansion was far inferior to the past, the scenery was still spectacular.

The servant led them through the weeping flower door. Immediately, a person welcomed them with a smile.

"Mrs. Qin, you’re finally here. I was just saying that I should take a look at the door. Come, come, come. This way."

As she spoke, she looked down at Qin Anning and said, "You must be Anning. You’re so pretty and smart."

Anning obediently paid her respects. Only then did Gu Yundong know that this was the wife of the heir of Marquis Huaiyin.
