Chapter 1378: Chapter 1378 Yu Jizi Begins to Take Action
“Over there, over there, so many, I want them all.” Gu Youyou was excited like a child.
Yue Rujing’s white figure leapt towards the valley full of fireflies, up and down, down and up, and soon he had caught many fireflies, even brighter than the lantern Gu Youyou was holding.
He handed the captured fireflies to Gu Youyou and said, “Do you think this is enough? If not, we’ll have to go back to find a bag; I can’t tear my clothes any more.”
“Enough, enough.” Gu Youyou accepted the fireflies, nodding, “When I go back, I’ll let them all loose in the house, it will beco a sea of stars. Zijin will definitely like it.”
Yue Rujing’s smile imdiately froze upon hearing Zijin’s na.
His hand paused slightly, and he said indifferently, “It’s getting late, let’s hurry back, or else my brother will worry.”
“Hmm? You’re not staying a bit longer, what if the Commandery Princess and Miss Duan are still here?”
“Even if they are, we have to go back.” Yue Rujing replied blandly.
…
When they returned, the Commandery Princess and Miss Duan were already gone. Since Yue Rujing was so resistant, Jin Zijin would naturally help ease his situation and not put him in a difficult position.
Yue Rujing greeted Jin Zijin and returned to his own courtyard.
Gu Youyou shook a bag of fireflies in front of Jin Zijin and said, “Went to catch bugs, do you like them?”
Jin Zijin frowned at the white gauze containing the fireflies and said, “Ajing helped you catch them?”
“Yes, in that valley, I couldn’t go down there myself.”
“He actually tore his own clothes?” Jin Zijin paused, then followed Gu Youyou inside.
“How about it? Did he say anything?”
Gu Youyou sighed, “He didn’t say, but I feel he might have encountered sothing. But since he didn’t ntion it, I think you don’t need to ask. People have their own little secrets, don’t they? As long as you keep an eye on him and nothing major happens, it’s nothing serious.”
Jin Zijin thought for a mont and said, “You’re right; it’s his father’s concern.” He sighed and added, “If he doesn’t find anyone he likes here, once he goes back, the Marquess will definitely assign him a girl from Lingnan, because the Yue Family can’t let the line end with him.”
Hearing this, Gu Youyou suddenly felt so sympathy for Yue Rujing.
If it were modern tis, there would be many people who don’t marry, but here it’s not allowed. Among the three forms of unfilial behavior, not having an heir is the worst, so even if it’s just for the sake of having a child, he has to marry soone.
Thinking of the Marquess, it seems he was like that too. The Marquess was deeply in love with Xiao Qinqin back then; even when she ca to him pregnant with another man’s child, he never despised her.
And now, the current Madam is nothing more than a tool appointed by the old Marquess for passing on the lineage, because the Marquess didn’t want to marry.
…
The worrying event happened nonetheless, Yu Jizi returned from Yunhe Mountain and the first thing he did was et with the Nanzhao Emperor.
After they had a secret talk for four hours, Yu Jizi handed the Nanzhao Emperor a sealed scroll, which the Emperor gladly accepted, and swiftly dispatched a troop to encircle the inn where Jin Zijin and the others were staying.
The surrounding residents had no idea what was happening; Gu Youyou had been held in high esteem by the people like a Shamaness the day before, but by the next day, she was surrounded.
“What’s going on? So many soldiers surrounding Doctor Gu.”
