"Co on now." Searcy rolled her eyes and said, "Your mother’s mind is a bit different from normal folks. She might support you, but your father, forget it. He nearly went mad after losing a son; if he loses a daughter too, he’ll truly go insane. He definitely won’t agree."
Jin Luoyin pouted.
Searcy continued, "Do you know how your father refused Pri Minister Zhang and his daughter back then?"
"What?"
Searcy laughed, "He said, he’s getting old, and it’s not easy to have a son, he doesn’t want to cut off his bloodline!"
Jin Luoyin: "..."
"All right, pack your things tonight and leave tomorrow. The coachman is going to Yangguan City tomorrow, you can ask him to give you a ride. I also need to prepare so things for your self-defense tonight!"
"Ah, thank you, Aunt!"
"Also, rember to tell your mother!"
Jin Luoyin hesitated but said, "Better not, tell her after I’ve left!"
"Hmm? What, you said your mother agreed, were you lying to ?"
"Lying to you, of course, I wouldn’t dare, it’s just that when my mother sees off, she might get sad like she does with my father!"
Searcy sighed gently and said, "Alright then, prepare yourself!"
...
Jin Luoyin, carrying the items Searcy prepared for her, changed into n’s clothing and, taking advantage of Gui Yunxi’s caravan departure, secretly hid in a cart transporting goods.
Only Searcy and Jin Luoyin knew about this, even Gui Yunxi who was transporting the goods didn’t know.
Gui Yunxi, as usual, led the caravan to the town, loaded up with goods from the town, and continued to advance towards Yangguan City.
Ten years ago, the most prosperous place in Zhuzhao Country was Jinxiu City. Now, because Gu Youyou shifted the comrcial focus to Yangguan City, Yangguan City has beco the most prosperous place in Zhuzhao Country.
rchants ca and went in an endless stream, and Gui Yunxi’s caravan was not particularly noticeable.
"Whoa... everyone stop the carts here for now. As usual, wait here for a bit while I go to the warehouse to et with Butler Chen!"
The carts stopped, and the cart drivers sat down in the tea shed to drink tea and eat so snacks to fill their stomachs. At this ti, no one noticed a handso young man jump down from one of their carts, carrying a bundle, quickly disappearing into the bustling street.
Gu Youyou only learned the next day that Jin Luoyin was missing, and Searcy didn’t intend to hide it from her, saying, "She went out, saying she didn’t want you guys to work so hard. Concerning the search for Xuyao, she also wants to contribute and said she told you about it in the past and you agreed."
"She went to find Xuyao?" Gu Youyou slowly said, "Yes, I did promise her, agreed to let her search for Xuyao. She’s fifteen now, can’t believe how fast ti flies, Xuyao has been missing for fifteen years, he’s almost at the age of adulthood now, who knows what he looks like."
Searcy looked at her, sowhat sadly, and said, "The older you get, the more you nag, especially when it cos to your son. No useful information has co up all these years. I’m worried Fu Jian might have raised him in a different way. He was four when he left, perhaps he doesn’t even rember."
"Yes!" Gu Youyou sighed and said slowly, "Do you rember the stories I told you about recognizing a thief as a father? When they couldn’t accomplish sothing, they’d kidnap the enemy’s child to raise as an assassin. Then the assassin would recognize the thief as a father and end up killing their own parents. The thing I fear most is Xuyao turning out like that. What should I do?"
