The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 467 - 477: Going to Beijing

This was also her indirect way of telling them where she had been over the past year or more, Lingnan.

Lingnan, oh, how far away it is.

"Big sister!" Dabao bowed his head, almost on the verge of tears.

Seeing his haggard face, Gu Youyou knew the matter with Lei Qianqian had hit him hard. She only said softly to him, "That Lei Qianqian was not suitable for you, Dabao. You deserve better. You should be happy that Lei Qianqian has been executed, because we have avenged our grandmother and now you can find a better girl, right?"

Gu Dabao nodded gently and could no longer hold back his tears.

Gu Youyou walked past him towards the two younger ones. Erbao took a few steps back, hurriedly avoiding her.

It seemed his fear of the "ghost sister" was not easy to dispel.

Sanya started laughing and reached out her hand to her.

"Big sister!"

Gu Youyou crouched down and gently patted her head, saying, "Sanya is the most well-behaved."

...

The Gu Family’s house went to the uncle’s family, and the Gu Family’s silver was taken out to build another set of courtyards for Erya and Sanya, near that thatched cottage.

The rest of the estate was divided equally according to the number of people; this was the result of Gu Youyou’s distribution.

"The matters of Lotus Village have finally come to an end, I wonder when the next visit will be."

Inside the carriage, Gu Youyou whispered to herself in a low voice.

Jin Zijin, who was driving the carriage, turned his head to the side and chuckled again.

Youyou had said "visit again," not "return."

The carriage moved smoothly forward and was only two days away from Lingnan, but at that moment, the way was blocked by a carriage coming from the opposite direction.

"Whoa..." Jin Zijin brought the horses to a stop.

Gu Youyou got out of the carriage and asked, "What’s happened?"

Before Jin Zijin could reply, a person had already disembarked from the carriage ahead.

"Miss Cousin, is Miss Cousin in the carriage?"

The person who had gotten down from the carriage ahead was wearing a thick fur coat; it was Lin Family’s butler, Butler Qiu.

Butler Qiu only came during New Year’s, but it was still a good half-month away from the New Year. Why had he come so early?

"Butler Qiu!" Jin Zijin dismounted first, then helped Gu Youyou down.

"Ah, indeed it’s Miss Cousin and Cousin-in-law!" His expression was anxious, and without waiting for Gu Youyou to ask, he hurriedly said, "Miss Cousin, can you come with me to Beijing right now. The old Madam is ill, and I’m afraid that... Ah! She just wants to see Miss Cousin. I was actually on my way to find Miss Cousin in Jisheng Hall in Lingnan, but was told she had gone back to Qingshui Town. I did not expect to meet her on the way here."

Hearing this, Gu Youyou turned her head to look at Jin Zijin.

They had talked about going to Beijing before, and Jin Zijin had said the time was not right, but now...

I’m afraid the matter of going to the Lin Family is not simple.

Jin Zijin furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then nodded gently at her and said to Butler Qiu, "Then let’s go to Beijing together."

Gu Youyou looked at Jin Zijin in surprise, thinking, Don’t we need to go back to Lingnan first? We’re almost there.

Butler Qiu agreed repeatedly, "Good, good, now I’m relieved. I was afraid Miss Cousin and Cousin-in-law would find it inconvenient."

As they headed in the direction of Beijing, it was not long before they reached a sizable city to rest in.

Butler Qiu had planned to invite Gu Youyou to Beijing, so he had brought quite a few people with him: himself, four coachmen with two carriages, one maid and a nanny to take care of Gu Youyou, eight guards from the household, along with Jin Zijin and Gu Youyou, making a total of fifteen people—a rather large convoy.

In the inn, Gu Youyou, who had been lost in thought all day, finally had the opportunity to speak alone with Jin Zijin.

"Zijin, going to Beijing this time might be a trap. Why are you still jumping in?"
