Chapter 1872: Who’s Missing?
Editor: Henyee Translations
Before the county magistrate finished, his face changed.
He couldn’t even control his emotions and exclaimed, "What? Missing?"
As soon as he spoke, he realized that something was wrong and quickly shut up.
However, his expression was gloomy. The county magistrate could not care less about Gu Yundong.
He took a deep breath and cupped his hands at Gu Yundong. "Since you’ve already decided, I’ll listen to your arrangements. I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first. If you need anything, feel free to send someone to the county office to inform me."
Escort Leader Kong’s pupils constricted. He was a little anxious and wanted the county magistrate to speak up for him again.
However, at this moment, the county magistrate looked terrible. He didn’t dare to say anything and could only watch as the county magistrate came to a conclusion.
Gu Yundong was surprised when she heard the word ’missing’.
However, she looked concerned. "Lord Mao, what happened? Do you need help?"
The county magistrate shook his head with a smile. "There’s no need for you to worry about such trivial things. I’ll take my leave."
With that, he turned around and strode away with his subordinates.
Seeing this, Escort Leader Kong gritted his teeth and could only follow with his eyes lowered.
The originally lively door suddenly fell silent, making the sound of the door opening next door seem especially abrupt.
Gu Yundong turned around and saw the aunt next door standing there stiffly. She smiled at her and said softly, "Princess, I heard that it was quite noisy outside. I was worried that something had happened, so I opened the door to take a look. I just wanted to take a look."
The auntie was also very helpless. Previously, she had wanted to visit the Yang family later. She did not expect the Yang family to suddenly have many escorts guarding the door. Her idea could only die.
Just now, a voice came from outside the door. Although she could tell who the person was, the gossip in her heart was burning, making her unable to control herself. Hence, she opened half of the door and secretly looked over.
When the county magistrate left and she was about to close the door, the door creaked and attracted Gu Yundong’s attention.
Seriously, this door was too disappointing.
Gu Yundong smiled and walked over to the auntie. "She’s fine now. But..." She paused. When she looked up again, her expression became a little serious. "Our house might not be very peaceful in the next few days. If Auntie hears anything, hide in the room. Don’t come out to watch the commotion, or something might happen."
Her expression was serious, and the auntie’s face instantly turned pale. She quickly nodded. "I know, I know. I promise I won’t go out and watch the commotion."
"That’s good." Gu Yundong smiled and returned to the Yang family.
The neighbors near the Yang family’s courtyard were all people who knew their place and did not like to join in the fun. There was another family who did not live here for the time being. Only this auntie was too gossipy.
It could be seen from the fact that the others had closed their doors just now and only the aunt stuck her head out. Who would be so bold to peep when they saw the county magistrate talking to the princess? Didn’t she know that it was easy for others to mistake her for someone with ill intentions?
Gu Yundong knew that she had no ill intentions and was quite enthusiastic, so he specially went to remind her.
When she returned to the Yang family’s courtyard, she saw that Boss Ling was a little worried. She could not help but ask, "What’s wrong?"
