Translator: Guy Gone Bad
For the next days, Wu Ruo either was soaked in medical bath or learn from Numu the medical skills he hadn"t had the chance to finish in last life. Hei Xuanyi either meditate next to them while they were discussing about medicine, or played chess with Hei Gan. They had a few quiet days.Sometimes Wu Ruo wished that time would pause at that moment. But in reality, time flew by. Soon it was Wu Da and Wu Xiao"s wedding day. and it had been more than 10 days that his family had taken medical bath. It was about time to go back to Wu family to see them.
When Wu Ruo made it to Wu family and saw the plague of “Wu Mansion”, the whole thing was ironic to him. In last life, he took Wu family as his sanctuary, a place he had belonged. Ironically, he preferred to stay at Hei Mansion where he felt safe.
Wu Ruo came to senses and was about to walk in before he saw a carriage behind his. Then Wu Anyi, the eldest son of his second uncle and Wu Yu, the youngest, got out of the carriage.
Wu Yu"s face was so pale that he was about to faint. His attendants held him up.
“Yu, are you alright?” Wu Anyi asked.
“I"m fine.” Wu Yu shook his head.
“You shouldn"t go to meet Mr. Li. Have a good rest at home and wait at home until you can go out for training after New Year. You can"t afford any mistakes at such a critical time, otherwise, you wouldn"t be able to pa.s.s the exam and get the permission to see the world.”
Wu Yu frowned, “but I am worried about you. You would be all yourself then.”
Wu Anyi said, “it is tricky but I can find someone else to be with me. I can split the money with him.”
Wu Ruo finally had an idea of what they were talking about.
In last life, he heard rumors that Wu Anyi and Wu Yu had always helped rich or n.o.ble families harm others. They helped the rich and powerful men capture ghosts they had killed, or helped them train evil ghosts. Therefore, they made a fortune out of it.
At that time when he heard those rumors, he thought it was ridiculous and didn"t believe that they would do such evil things. But in this life, there was no way he would buy the lie that they were doing good deeds to help people get rid of evil ghosts.
Wu Ruo greeted Wu Anyi and Wu Yu with a smile, “h.e.l.lo, brothers, where have you been?”
Wu Anyi said indifferently to Wu Ruo, “nowhere.”
Wu Yu said with a smile, “Ruo, are you going to see your parents?”
“Yes.”
Wu Anyi didn"t want to say more to Wu Ruo, “Yu, since you are not feeling well, you"d better stop talking.”
Wu Yu smiled at Wu Ruo, “Ruo, sorry that I have to go because I am not feeling well.”
“Brother, have a good rest.”
Wu Ruo put away his smile after they left.
There was no way that Wu family didn"t know what the two brothers were doing. Perhaps there were someone else in the family who were helping them. Only his own family in Shuqing Yard didn"t know.
Wu Ruo went inside the Shuqing Yard and saw Wu Qianqing walking out with a cloak on him.
“Father, are you going out?”
“Yes. Your great-grandfather asked me to come over.” Wu Qianqing paused and continued, “it doesn"t make any sense that you haven"t paid a single visit to your great-grandfather yet since you got married. Go prepare gifts and come with me in case that people badmouth you.”
“But I don"t have any gifts with me right now.” Wu Ruo was confused.
“You can choose some from the gifts Xuanyi sends.” Wu Qianqing narrowed his eyes.
At the moment Wu Qianqing said, Wu Ruo a.s.sumed that his father had already figured out why Wu Bufang wanted to see him.
If he was correct, those so-called families aimed to get Hei Xuanyi"s precious gifts.
How dare they!
Shame on them! They not only stole betrothal presents, but also wanted to take Hei Xuanyi"s gifts.
