Chapter 1875: I’ll Wait for You to Come Back

It was not until the carriage drove for a long time and they could no longer see the shadow that Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong retracted their gazes.
He held Gu Yundong’s hand and walked back. As they walked, he said, "We’ve already gathered a lot of evidence from Madam Chang. We’ve also asked about what happened to the Ren family back then. It’s indeed as we guessed. Although the county magistrate was greedy for money, the amount was not enough to kill his entire family. At most, his official position would be removed. It was Madam Chang and County Magistrate Mao who conspired to frame the Ren family, causing them to end up like this."
Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief. "I’ll go back and tell Grandpa and the others about this."
"Yes, Yi Zilan will overturn the case on behalf of the Ren family. Back then, all the women of the Ren family were sent to the border. Although they are alive, they are still charged with crimes. After this matter, if they want to come back, they can naturally do so. If they have already married over there, at least they will be cleared of their crimes."
No matter what, it was a good thing for the Ren family.
As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived at the city gate.
Shao Qingyuan did not speak again until they passed the city gate. He stopped and said to Gu Yundong, "I still have something to do here. Go back to the Yang family first. They should arrest County Magistrate Mao after noon. It would be fine if everything went smoothly, but if he is forced to do something desperate, the Yang family will not be quiet tonight. Remind Father and Mother to be more vigilant tonight."
"Don’t worry, I will."
With that, Shao Qingyuan went to look for Yi Zilan.
But he could not bear to let go of Gu Yundong’s hand. He was also worried about the Yang family’s safety.
Gu Yundong pursed her lips and looked around. They were in an alley and there was no one beside them.
She quickly tiptoed and kissed Shao Qingyuan on the lips. She said in a low voice, "I’ll wait for you at home."
Shao Qingyuan’s eyes darkened. He pulled her hand and was about to kiss her again.
Gu Yundong smiled and took two steps back. "Alright, hurry up and get back to work. I’m going back."
Footsteps sounded outside the alley. Shao Qingyuan was very regretful and could only let go. "Be careful."
Gu Yundong waved her hand, turned around, and left quickly.
When Shao Qingyuan saw that she had left the alley, the smile on his face disappeared. He walked in the opposite direction with a serious expression.
It was still early when Gu Yundong returned home.
The members of the Yang family were all in the courtyard. Yang Liu accompanied Old Madam Yang to pick vegetables, and the two young ladies were also chattering beside her.
Gu Dajiang and Gu Yunshu were in Yang He’s room. Yang He was already much more energetic. When he heard that Gu Dajiang was an Elementary Scholar, he took a book and asked him for guidance.
The three of them were discussing knowledge in the room and talking animatedly.
Yang Zhifu was handling the small vegetable field in the yard with a small hoe. The vegetable field was planted by them after they moved here. There were only some hollow vegetables, long peas, and green onions. There was not much, just enough for them to eat.
Now that they had decided to go to the Xuanhe Prefecture and did not know when they would return, they had to deal with the vegetables in the vegetable field first.
They would eat whatever they could. If they couldn’t finish, they could give these dishes to their neighbors.
Gu Yundong walked to their side and was about to squat down to help when the courtyard door was pushed open.
The escort guarding the door quickly walked in and whispered to Gu Yundong, "Princess, there’s someone sneaking around outside. Should we chase him away?"
