Chapter 1040: To Li Village

Zhou Huaijin looked very wronged, and looked at Gu Chaoyan transfixed as if she was a little kid who had not shared a candy.

Gu Chaoyan looked up at him and knew that he was teasing her, instead of asking her. She patted the back of his hands and said carefully, “You already told the King that you wanted to deal with Li County, but the King didn’t want you to get involved. So if you go there now without authorization, then the King and many others would pick on you because of this point. Don’t make this minor thing so complicated.”

“…”

“I am going there with Shanhu with a purpose, because I can just say that I am doing this on behalf of Xinlin Clinic.”

“…”

“As for you… you can go there secretly.” Gu Chaoyan winked at him.

Zhou Huaijin laughed loudly as he rubbed Gu Chaoyan’s nose. “You are indeed my little girl.”

The two were speaking so cheerfully…

Xiu Jie and Sword One as well as Shen Tai were all wearing a smile on their faces. In their eyes, Elder Miss and Lord Huai were a great couple together. That they were getting on so well with each other was what mattered the most! They were also very glad to see them speaking cheerfully with each other.

Shanhu wasn’t very happy.

…

Well…

He was well aware that Lady Chaoyan and Lord Huai were a cute couple, but he just could not forget how a.s.sured he felt, when he opened his eyes and saw the composed silhouette of this lady when he thought that he was dying.

What kind of feeling was that? Well, Shanhu could not comprehend that either.

Lady Chaoyan seemed like a very composed lady, but after spending some time with her, he could tell that Lady Chaoyan was actually very lively and smart. Then he looked at the handsome-looking man born in a n.o.ble family. Shanhu lowered his head and showed a very complicated expression on his face.

At this point, Gu Chaoyan had already come to Shanhu’s side. “What are you staring at? Let’s leave.”

Even after saying this it took Shanhu a long while before he gave a reaction. Then he followed her.

Sword One had two wagons ready, one for Shanhu and Qu Hua, the other for Elder Miss. It was a quick trip, since the destination was Li Village.

Shanhu was still suffering from some injuries, so the wagon was not heading too fast.

Luckily, Li Village was not too far away. It only took them four hours to arrive without a break in the process.

However, the road towards Li Village was quite b.u.mpy, which cost them some time.

Nevertheless they arrived before evening.

The moment they arrived at Li Village, Shanhu was in a hurry to visit his home. Gu Chaoyan thought that she could follow him to check on his grandma. So she asked the coachman to follow Shanhu to his home.

It was a very simple-decorated farmyard. Due to what happened the day before yesterday, the doors were all closed and no one was outside.

Shanhu shouted for a long time before someone came to open the door.

Shanhu said gratefully to the Village Chief, when he saw him. “Village Chief, hi!”

“There you are Shanhu, just come in to check up on your grandma. She has been frightened and is getting worse without you around,” the Village Chief said.

When all of this was said Shanhu hurried into the room.

Only then did the Village Chief notice that apart from Qu Hua, there was a very beautiful and n.o.ble-looking lady next to them.

Well…

The Village Chief looked at the lady and then at Shanhu. He had a complicated look on his face.
