Chapter 1617: UnluckyEditor: Henyee Translations

However, when she arrived at the small courtyard, she realized that her parents were not at home.

Only Lu Sheng and Madam Niu were working in the courtyard. When they saw Gu Yundong return, they quickly welcomed him happily.

"Miss and Young Master are back? What a coincidence. This morning, Old Master and Madam just returned to Yongfu Village."

Gu Yundong found it strange. "Why are they back at Yongfu Village at this time?" It wasn’t the New Year. Didn’t her father still have to study at Tianhai Academy?

Madam Niu smiled and said, "Second Master has obtained the Little Master. Tomorrow is a full moon. Old Master and the others have gone back to have a full month banquet."

Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment before she was overjoyed. "My aunt has given birth?"

Second Master was how they addressed Uncle Gu here. Since they had settled down here alone, they did not include the people from the Gu family. They might as well call him Second Master.

"Yes, I did."

Gu Yundong was overjoyed. Although it was about time, she could not help but feel happy when she truly heard it.

Nevertheless...

The full moon was tomorrow? However, the sky was already dark and the city gate was closed. If she wanted to leave the city, she could only do so tomorrow morning.

They would not be able to make it in time for the banquet. They would probably have to make up the numbers at night.

She felt a little regretful, but there was nothing she could do about it. She did not expect it to be so unlucky. They missed the event by just a day.

Gu Yundong quickly composed himself and introduced them to the Lu couple. "This is my in-laws. Aunt Niu, take Shuitao and clean up the house first. We’ll stay at home for the night and return to Yongfu Village tomorrow morning."

The Lu couple was stunned. What??

In-laws?

Wasn’t it the husband’s parents?

They knew that the young master was looking for his parents, but they did not expect them to suddenly stand in front of them. This was too sudden.

Shock flashed across their eyes, but they quickly regained their senses. They bowed respectfully to the two of them and went to tidy up the house.

Shao Qingyuan took Lu Sheng and the others out of the carriage. There were many dried seafood they had brought back from the Lingzhou Prefecture, and some things they had bought from the capital.

A portion of the gifts were unloaded from the carriage and placed in the small courtyard. The rest would be brought back to Yongfu Village tomorrow.

Gu Yundong had originally planned to visit Gu’s or New Tea Pavilion another day, but it seemed that there was no time left. She could only go after returning from Yongfu Village.

Shao Qingyuan asked Shao Wen to stay. Zhou Han and the others were still at the inn, and there was still a cart of medicinal herbs to be transported back to Shao’s in Fengkai County. Someone had to deal with these.

Therefore, Tong Shuitao was the only one who followed.

The few of them rested in the small courtyard for the night and planned to set off early the next morning.

Just as they approached the city gate, Gu Yundong lifted the curtain. She did not expect to see Yang Wenli again.

It turned out that he had also come to the prefectural city of Xuanhe Prefecture.

Gu Yundong had not seen him since she had met him once at the teahouse.

It was probably because they had a lot of people and goods that they traveled slowly. Yang Wenli must have arrived at the prefecture before them.

Gu Yundong only took a glance and quickly retracted his gaze.

The carriage slowly left the prefectural city and sped towards Yongfu Village.

When he passed by Fengkai County, he did not stop to rest and rushed home.

As evening approached, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of Yongfu Village.

Looking at the flat road in front of them, Bai Hang and Shao Yin were a little surprised. "I didn’t expect this small village to have such a spacious road. It’s similar to an official road." Actually, some official roads couldn’t compare to this road.
