"Madam Lu is looking for her?" Gu Youyou was shocked.
The Lu Family saw Searcy like a plague god, wishing they never knew her in their lifeti; why would they send soone to look for her?
Xiang Chun whispered to Gu Youyou: "You fell ill after coming back, so you wouldn’t know. The Lu Family’s attitude towards Searcy has changed?"
"Oh? How has it changed?" She had been in a daze these past few days and really didn’t know what was happening outside.
Xiang Chun said, "Isn’t it because the Beiping Army revolted, causing countless deaths and injuries? Young Master Lu was severely injured in that battle, remained unconscious, and almost lost his life. The Imperial Physicians were helpless and suggested Madam Lu ask for your help. But you fell ill as soon as you returned, and the First Prince didn’t allow anyone to disturb you, so they were naturally left with no options. Later, Searcy returned, and they lowered their pride to ask Searcy for help to save him."
"Did Searcy save him?" Gu Youyou’s heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, she did!" Xiang Chun said, "A few days ago, Young Master Lu already woke up, and Madam Lu wants to invite Searcy back to the house, probably to bury the hatchet."
"Oh, Searcy is unwilling?" Gu Youyou raised an eyebrow.
Xiang Chun, who was never on good terms with Searcy, snorted and said, "Isn’t it obvious? Now that they need her, she acts all high and mighty. Hmph, to put it bluntly, she just wants to stay here with you. The First Prince’s consort, look at her, she’s neither a servant nor the master, yet she enjoys a master’s lifestyle; who would want to leave? Going back to the Lu Family, she’d still be an illegitimate daughter despised by everyone. Even a cat or a dog in the Lu Family must see her as a plague god after what she and her mother did, right?"
Xiang Chun was usually quite friendly, but that was as long as she didn’t encounter Searcy.
Whenever Searcy ca up, she could beco downright an.
Searcy was just that kind of love-hate person, even Gu Youyou had countless argunts with her.
"Hmm, just let her be then!" Gu Youyou sighed softly.
...
After hearing that Gu Youyou had recovered well, relatives and friends ca to visit.
Today, after having a spicy fish al, they had just seen Er Yao and the Shunzi family off when the second aunt’s family ca by.
"Youyou, we heard you were ill a while back, and we wanted to visit, but the First Prince had people blocking us, saying not to disturb your rest. Now that we heard you’re all better, we finally ca to visit!"
"Thank you for your concern, Second Aunt!" Gu Youyou invited them to be seated and had soone serve tea.
Entering such a grand residence, Huang Xiangwen was no longer as uneasy as before.
Gu Youyou had also heard by now that they were doing quite well.
The mbers of the Gu Family were diligent, and diligent people could get by anywhere without much trouble.
Gu Dabao and Erbao were already married, and Sanya had grown into a fine girl. In a couple of years, she’d be ready for marriage. Regarding the children, she no longer had any regrets. She said to Gu Youyou, "They say fallen leaves return to their roots. My only regret now is not being in my hotown!"
Gu Youyou raised an eyebrow and asked, "Second Aunt still wants to return to Lotus Village?"
Huang Xiangwen said, "Yes, we were born farrs, and farming should be our job. We have so much land that shouldn’t remain abandoned."
Gu Youyou was full of surprise and asked, "Wasn’t Lotus Village destroyed?"
Huang Xiangwen quickly said, "Back then, it was destroyed by heavy rain. But later, many villagers returned and rebuilt the village. The land is still ours; only the houses were ruined, so we need to rebuild the houses!"
