Feng Yuanxi shook his head. “You heard wrong.”
The maid looked around, but she didn’t see anyone else. Perhaps she had misunderstood.
She deliberately appeared in a secluded area without anyone around, so it was unlikely that there were others present.
“Young Master, let’s hurry so we don’t waste time,” the maid suggested.
Feng Yuanxi nodded.
The maid reached out to hold his hand.
Feng Yuanxi didn’t like to interact with strangers. “I’ll go by myself.”
After all, they were still in the Jun Residence. The maid didn’t dare to go against his wishes. “Then please follow along, Young Master.”
“Aren’t we going through the main entrance?’ Feng Yuanxi noticed that their route was becoming increasingly off track.
The maid didn’t expect him to recognize the way and suppressed her astonishment. She smiled and said, ‘Taking the back door is faster.” Feng Yuanxi remained silent.
The back door was empty, and they quickly walked out.
There was a carriage waiting outside.
After smoothly getting on the carriage, the maid breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Yuanxi stared at her. “How long is the journey to see Mother?”
The maid replied, “About two hours. Young Master will see Miss soon.”
Feng Yuanxi looked around the carriage and noticed that the windows were covered with metal plates. The curtains were made of leather and hung down firmly, blocking any movement and preventing the wind from coming in.
“Young Master, would you like some pastries?” The maid offered a plate of exquisite pastries to Feng Yuanxi.
Since he was young, Feng Yuanxi had been cautioned not to eat anything from strangers. Besides, he didn’t have an appetite at the moment.
Seeing that he didn’t eat, the maid set the pastries aside and asked if he was thirsty.
Feng Yuanxi shook his head.
After being repeatedly rejected, the maid sat quietly on the side. Two hours later, the carriage came to a stop. The maid smiled gracefully, “We’ve arrived.”
She slipped out of the carriage and landed on the ground. Feng Yuanxi followed suit and looked up at the door before him. The dark green door was smaller than the back gate of the Jun Residence, with the words ‘Gu Residence” hanging above it.
The maid said, “Miss Gu is inside. Let’s go in.’
Feng Yuanxi narrowed his eyes. Just today, his mother had driven the Gu family out of their home. Was this their new place of residence?
The maid playfully winked, “You’ll know once you go inside.”
“Is my mother not in there?” Feng Yuanxi’s face darkened. He despised being deceived.
The maid’s pupils slightly contracted, but she maintained her smile. “How could that be? Miss Gu is inside. Don’t you want to see her? Come on, let’s go.”
Feng Yuanxi’s face grew grim. “You’re lying to me!”
He hated being lied to the most!
He clenched his fist, restraining the urge to hit her, and turned to leave.
But after all the effort to bring him here, there was no way she would let him escape.
The maid shouted sternly, “Stop him!”
The coachman jumped off the carriage and quickly caught up, grabbing Feng Yuanxi’s shoulder.
Feng Yuanxi flinched, turned around, and punched him in the stomach.
The coachman cried out in pain, clutching his abdomen and curling up on the ground.
Thud!
The tightly shut dark green door swung open from the inside. Several thugs rushed out, surrounding Feng Yuanxi.
Seeing their attire, Feng Yuanxi knew his guess was correct.
These were the scoundrels who had harassed his mother in the morning!
Wang Shi, the last one to step out, emerged from behind them.
The maid eagerly presented her accomplishment, “Madam, I have brought you the person you wanted. He referred to Miss Gu as his mother, so he is likely her son! ”
Wang Shi paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. “So, he’s that wretched woman’s son, is he?’
Gu Qingluan, you lied about being his apprentice. It seems you also know that having a child out of wedlock is disgraceful!
