Chapter 98.1
The scent of medicine permeated the entire room. Yao shi stayed by his son"s bed all this time and because of tiredness, she fell asleep against the bedpost.
Gu Yan opened his eyes quietly, sneakily looked at Yao shi for a moment and shook his slender hand in front of Yao shi.
After making sure that Yao shi was really asleep, he grinned, slowly opened the quilt and crept out of bed.
Growing up, he was accustomed to calling wind and rain. This was the first time that he behaved gently and cautiously. It felt strange yet refreshing.
Gu Yan tried to leave the room like a sneaky thief.
Suddenly, Yao shi"s body shook briefly, making Gu Yan so scared that he almost fell ill again. Fortunately, Yao shi didn"t wake up, only adjusted her posture and continued to sleep.
The servant girl who was on duty outside the room was also led away by the Dark Guard at this time. Now Gu Yan only had to go out of the courtyard and meet up with them.
Unexpectedly, Yu Ya"er caught him as soon as he walked into the front yard.
Yu Ya"er, who was holding a newly sewn quilt, looked at him strangely and asked, "What are you doing, young master? Didn"t Madame tell you to lie in bed? And why are you out without your shoes on? "
Gu Yan cleared his throat and replied, "Would you believe me when I say I"m going out for a walk?"
Yu Ya"er"s face darkened. Hugging the quilt in one arm while resting his other hand on her hips, she said, "Are you trying to run away again?"
Gu Yan blinked his eyes guiltily at her.
Yu Ya"er widened her eyes and said, "You really are trying to run away! No can do! You can"t go out!"
Gu Yan"s eyes squinted dangerously, instantly revealing a murderous look. He said, "Believe it or not, this young master will have your life disposed of!"
Yu Ya"er said, "You still can"t go out even if you dispose of my life!"
Gu Yan could only hold his forehead.
This girl was brain dead and would rather die than surrender. This att.i.tude was what made her speak up for Gu Jiao at the beginning, but now she was using the same att.i.tude to prevent him from going out of the courtyard!
Gu Yan was also a very adamant type of person, but that was in the past. Now that he met the most important person in his life, he no longer cared about wanting any face!
Gu Yan, who still had a murderous aura just a moment ago, dramatically had a change in expression in a mere second!
He changed into a tearful expression and looked at Yu Ya"er with a grievance. How pitiful it looked was how pitiful it was.
He was just short of letting out a pitiful wail and Yu Ya"er would think that he was possessed by a puppy.
"Young, young, young master... What"s wrong with you?" Yu Ya"er couldn’t stand such a weak-looking young master!
Gu Yan bit his red lip in grievance and said, "I just want to go out for some air, just for a moment."
Yu Ya"er suffered a crit hit from his cuteness, saying, "Just... just for a moment? Really... Really just for a moment?"
Gu Yan nodded like a spoiled child, "En."
Yu Ya"er covered her chest and said, "Alright... young master, go ahead... I"ll stay here."
This wouldn’t do. If he stayed any longer in front of her, she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from stretching out her hand and rubbing the young master’s head!
Gu Yan succeeded in deceiving Yu Ya"er. As soon as he left the courtyard, his cold expression returned and he hooked up the corner of his lips evilly.
He successfully arrived at the small garden to meet the Dark Guards. The Dark Guards took him out of the villa, got into the prepared carriage in advance, and galloped all the way to Qingquan Village!
Later, Huang Zhong discovered Gu Yan"s whereabouts and hurriedly went to the Orchid Pavilion to report to Marquis Gu.
Marquis Gu told him to speak from outside the door.
Huang Zhong said, "Young master slipped out of the villa! It looks like he’s headed for the other end of town!"
"Town?" Marquis Gu frowned.
Gu Jinyu looked at his father and said, "Dad, has my brother gone to see sister?"
"Most likely, he went to look for her." Marquis Gu knew he couldn"t lock up his son for too long, so he wasn"t too surprised with this result.
"Are you going to pick brother back home?"
Marquis Gu shook his head, saying, “It"s not like you don"t know his temper. Who can stop him except your mother?"
To put it bluntly, Gu Yan only gave face to Yao shi in the whole villa.
If he were to send someone to pick him back, there would only be two results: one was to be knocked down by Gu Yan"s Dark Guards, the other was to make Gu Yan extremely furious.
Marquis Gu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just let him be!"
That girl won"t bully Gu Yan anyway.
In addition, he had another layer of consideration.
That pair of brother and sister were quite close. Maybe Gu Yan"s presence could make the girl return to the Marquis Estate willingly.
Not that he badly wanted to recognize that girl, it was just that Yao shi and Gu Yan both liked her very much, and he could only accept her.
…….
It was just early afternoon, and there were not many people on the streets, hence the carriage reached Qingquan Village unimpeded.
Recently, there had always been a carriage arriving at the village, so that the villagers had become accustomed to it. However, when they saw a beautiful and delicate as a fine jade young master stepping down from the carriage, they were still shocked.
Gu Yan had a clean and pure temperament, just like a refined, beautiful piece of jade, without a trace of impurities.
The most handsome person in the village was Xiao Liulang, followed by Gu Dashun, but there was still a world of difference between the two. On the other hand, the gap between this young master and Xiao Liulang wasn’t big, or even almost none.
The villagers" eyes were all fixed on him.
"That, that... That young master came from which family? Who is he looking for?"
"Surely not you! Of course, he should be looking for Liulang and Jiao girl!"
The villagers who were fetching water at the entrance of the village joked with each other.
