349 Old Friend
Just as Lin Suisui had feared, the people from the Five Poison Sect ca quickly.
On the third day after they captured the two won, two more won dressed similarly to the previous two won ca to the dical center.
Because of Lin Suisui’s previous instructions, when Yuan Niang saw the two of them enter, she gestured for Yue’e to find an opportunity to inform Lin Suisui while she welcod them with a smile.
Unlike the two evasive won who ca previously, these two won were much more direct.
!!
“We’re dancers from the Bright Moon Class. We ca over today to ask if you saw two sisters dressed similarly to us co over a few days ago?”
The woman in red took off the veiled hat on her head and bowed to Yuan Niang. Then, she explained the purpose of her trip politely.
“Yuan Yu said that her throat was a little sore, so she wanted to co to see a doctor. She’s a young lady and she wasn’t feeling well. I was worried that it would be unsafe for her to co out alone without anyone to take care of her, so I instructed Ying’er to accompany her.
However, there was no news of them for a few days.
I was anxious, so I asked along the way. I heard that they had entered your dical center previously, so I ca to ask.”
“Yes, they ca.” The woman nodded calmly and replied straightforwardly, “They ca on the first day of our dical center’s opening.
I rembered very clearly that they were dressed like you two that day. They didn’t look like ordinary won, so I greeted them.
However, for so reason, they didn’t respond. I thought that it was inconvenient for them to say anything in public, so I didn’t ask further. I only brought them here so that they could rest in peace.
Coincidentally, there was so trouble in our dical center that day. A couple ca to extort money. At that ti, the entire dical center was filled with people who ca to watch the commotion and I was distracted. When I turned around after I was done busying, the two of them had disappeared.
At that ti, I didn’t think too much about it. I only thought that the commotion scared them. Now that you ntion it, I really regret it. I should have asked around.”
Yuan Niang’s expression was calm, and she seed to be telling the truth.
When the woman in red heard Yuan Niang’s words, her expression changed, but Yuan Niang’s explanation was already very clear. Even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn’t find an excuse to vent her anger. She could only thank Yuan Niang and leave.
Yuan Niang sent them out of the dical center politely. When she saw the two of them leave and join the crowd, she turned around and returned to the dical center. As if nothing had happened, she continued to call the patients in the clinic.
After the woman in red and her companion left, they actually didn’t walk far. As they observed the dical center, the woman in the purple dress couldn’t help but say, “Ah Yue, that woman was lying! We should have captured her just now. As long as we interrogate her, we will definitely be able to find Ah Yu and Ying’er’s whereabouts!”
“Nonsense!” Ah Yue turned around and looked at her indignant companion as she scolded in a low voice, “How are you going to kidnap her in public? Don’t you think the matter at hand is enough trouble?!
“Besides, I don’t think that woman was lying. She probably really doesn’t know!”
“But Ah Yu and the others can’t have disappeared for no reason, right?” The woman in the purple dress gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in dissatisfaction as she said angrily, “My aunt activated the Gu last night, but there was no response at all!
They’re not weak. Even if soone attacked them, they can’t be no news of it at all, right?”
“Let’s go back and report it to our aunt first.” Ah Yue sighed as she comforted her companion softly. “We can’t rush things. We should go back and discuss it with our aunt first.”
As the two of them spoke, they returned to the inn where the troupe was.
After Lin Suisui received the ssage from Yuan Niang, she imdiately asked Bai Guo to send this ssage to Lu Ze, who was in the front courtyard. Soon, Bai Guo returned and gave her Lu Ze’s response.
“He said that everything has been arranged and they’re just waiting for them to deliver themselves.” Bai Guo approached Lin Suisui quietly and bent down to whisper in her ear, “Also, His Highness said that Mrs. Luo’s family has already entered the city. They’ll probably reach the entrance of the residence soon.”
“Then get soone to inform Yuan Niang and ask her to put aside what she’s doing. Tell her that Mrs. Luo and the others are here and are waiting for her to co back to catch up.”
When Lin Suisui heard Bai Guo’s reply, she was imdiately overjoyed. After she put down the dicine in her hand, she stood up and instructed, “By the way, ask the servants to prepare more good wine and dishes later. We have an old friend coming to visit.”
Bai Guo hurriedly turned around to prepare.
As expected, Lu Ze didn’t make Lin Suisui wait long. After she entered the inner room to change her clothes, Yin Qiao ca over with a smile to tell her that the esteed guests had arrived.
After a few months of recuperation from the hardships on the road previously, Mrs. Luo looked much better than before. Fang Liu, who was following behind Mrs. Luo, surprised Lin Suisui. She looked much more mature and ladylike.
“How many months is the pregnancy?” Lin Suisui reached out to help Fang Liu up and placed her hand on her wrist. Her pulse was strong, so it could be seen that Fang Liu was in good health.
“Just over three months ago.” Fang Liu smiled as she replied to Lin Suisui’s question in a low voice, “I felt a little nauseous, but at that ti, I didn’t think too much about it. Later on, when I realized that sothing was wrong, I hired a doctor to take a look and was told that I was pregnant.”
“That’s right. Originally, we planned to co over to see you as soon as we settled down, but because she was pregnant and the road was blocked by snow along the way, we thought that it was better to wait until the new year. Now that the road is easier to travel, we can co over to save you and Erlang the trouble.”
Mrs. Luo explained to Lin Suisui with a smile, “Fortunately, her pregnancy is stable. The child didn’t give her that much of a hard ti.”
