Chapter 2029: Am I Not Human, General? (2)

Gu Qingheng, after several days of busy work, finally handed over all the affairs at hand and was ready to set off at any time.

Ming Guang had been teaching Gu Qingheng martial arts during this time and was sure to go with him, but Nian Qianqian was a problem.

Changyangzi had been avoiding her. If he brought her back to the village, wouldn’t that expose everything? But he also couldn’t just leave her alone, right?

"It’s the first time I feel so conflicted." Gu Qingheng gave a bitter smile; asking wasn’t right, but not asking was also troublesome.

"There’s nothing to be conflicted about." Yang Ruxin exhaled, "It’s better to ask. If you’re really going... then just bring her along and let Master know in advance."

"That’s all we can do."

However, before the two of them could go find Nian Qianqian, she came to them, "I know you’re going back; I won’t be going with you."

Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin collectively let out a breath, but the necessary concern was still required.

"But Predecessor, you’re all alone..."

"I’m used to it." Nian Qianqian sighed slightly, "But as long as I can find Zhang Changyang, I won’t be alone..."

Yang Ruxin inexplicably felt a sourness in her nose, "But Predecessor, if a person wants to avoid another..."

"It’s alright; as long as I can move, I’ll keep looking for him until I can’t walk anymore..." Nian Qianqian gently stroked the small purple kitten in her arms, "But Xinxin, I have a request."

"Predecessor, please speak."

"If one day I die, I hope you can take in Xiaozi." Nian Qianqian looked at Yang Ruxin, "Over the years, it has been with me. I don’t want it to be lonely if I go one day..."

"Alright." Yang Ruxin felt she couldn’t refuse this woman’s request.

"You must promise..." Nian Qianqian suddenly turned around, and in a blink, she was outside the door, disappearing in an instant from the General Residence.

"Qingheng, how do I find your Master so cruel?" Yang Ruxin sighed, "How many thirty years does a woman have? But they waste it in such hiding and seeking... do you think your Master will regret it one day?"

Gu Qingheng couldn’t respond because he really didn’t know what to say, nor did he know if Master would regret it.

"Never mind, I’m just emotional." Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but laugh seeing Gu Qingheng’s silly expression, "It’s someone else’s affair; no one can judge it. But between us, no matter the misunderstanding, we must resolve it face-to-face, not by running away."

"I’d never run." Gu Qingheng held Yang Ruxin’s hand, "Even if you hit me, I won’t run."

"Alright then, come with me to the Crown Prince Residence. We still need to check the Crown Princess Consort’s pulse before we go."

"Let’s go." Gu Qingheng nodded, holding her hand as they walked out.

Du Juan wanted to follow.

"Don’t follow." Yang Ruxin waved her hand, "This time, Du Yunpeng will stay in the capital to help for a while; you stay here to accompany him."

"But then you’ll be with no one."

"Doesn’t the General count as someone?" Gu Qingheng suddenly frowned.

"But..."

"Or do you think the General can’t take good care of Madam?" Gu Qingheng began to glare.

Du Juan couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, "It’s not that... alright, this maid obeys."

"Good girl." Gu Qingheng then cheerfully led his wife out the door.
