Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Xuan Yingluo naturally believed that her mother had the ability to do so. Back then, her mother was the number one girl in Jiao’s house and knew many secret techniques.

Now, Xia Ling was a grandmother, but she had taken care of herself like a young woman. Now, she was still mesmerized by Xuan Ying.

Xuan Yingluo reached out and hugged Xia Ling. “Mommy, thank you. It feels so good to be back. I have you all by my side.”

Xia Ling reached out and touched Xuan Yingluo’s long hair. “Yingluo, we all love you.”

..

Xuan Yingluo returned to the capital, and her life gradually returned to peace.

She knew that Xuan Ying had sent people to the south. Xuan Ying was now in a high position of power. Apart from his father, it was also his responsibility. He would definitely send people to the south to investigate.

That day, Xuan Yingluo was standing outside the study. She heard the conversation between her father and his subordinates.

The man said, “Our men have just returned from the south, but the south is peaceful. We asked a lot of people, but no one knows what new Minister of the South has appeared recently. Zhou Yu and the others have disappeared without a trace. There is no trace left. It is as if they have vanished from the world. No, to be precise, this is like a dream. Zhou Yu and the others have never been to the south.”

Xuan Ying pondered for a moment. “I know my daughter well. Zhou Yu must be in the south. However, when Yingluo returned to the capital, he disappeared along with her. Now that he has disappeared again, we won’t be able to find him again.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Let’s just leave it at that. Let’s just pretend that Zhou Yu died in that explosion and end the case. Let everything be in the past.”

“Yes.”

Only then did Xuan Yingluo know that Zhou Yu had left as well. As for where he had gone, she did not know.

He had been growing crazily in these wild areas and was best at survival. However, one thing was certain. If he left, no one would be able to find him again.

A month later, Xuan Yingluo sat in front of the dressing table. Xia Ling held his breath and removed the gauze on her face. “Yingluo, look at yourself quickly.”

Xuan Yingluo looked through the mirror and saw that the scars on her face had disappeared. She was flawless.

She reached out and touched her own skin. The scars that she had suffered in the south had all receded. It was as if she had been reborn. The skin on her body was as smooth and fair as a newborn baby. Her face was radiant, her city-toppling beauty was even better.

“Yingluo, you’ve finally changed back. You’ve become the number one beauty of our country a again,”Xia Ling said happily.

Xuan Yingluo took a veil and put it on her little face. Ever since she had returned to the capital, she had been wearing this veil. Although no one had said anything, everyone knew that she had been disfigured.

“Mom, I’ll still wear this veil.”

“Why, Yingluo, why are you still wearing the veil now that you’ve recovered your looks?”

“Mom,”Xuan Yingluo held Xia Ling’s hand, “My face is too ostentatious. I just want to live a peaceful life now and don’t want to stir up any more trouble. Besides, although Zhou Yu is dead, I was officially married by him. I was married in a sedan chair. If he dies, I’ll still be his Princess Bei.”

“How can that be counted? Zhou Yu is already dead. Yingluo, it’s time for you to find your own happiness,”Xia Ling said.

“Mom, I don’t want to think about this for the time being. It’s good to be Princess Bei. With my disfigured face, everyone’s attention won’t be on me. I want to keep a low profile.”
