Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 392 Return to the Guo Family

Yue Fuli pursed her lips lightly, and after a while, she finally returned to the house.

The other guards also stood silently guarding the yard, occasionally glancing at the girl on the steps with complicated expressions.

As time passed, the effects of the drugs on them gradually wore off, and in the second half of the night, nothing happened and it was very peaceful.

When it was almost dawn, Si He finally stood up.

After sitting on the stairs all night, her butt and legs were sore. After she took a break, she turned and looked at the house behind her. The lights inside were still bright and quiet.

She watched quietly for a while, and finally did nothing and said nothing, and walked silently towards her own yard.

The guards watched her leave. The morning breeze blew, and her skirt fluttered, making people feel a little lonely.

She walked out step by step, and soon her figure disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Inside the room, the guard leader Yang Sheng reported her situation to Yue Fuli, "Master, Miss Guo is gone."

Yue Fuli opened his eyes. His body had returned to normal, the effect of the medicine had completely worn off. He picked up an old piece of talisman paper on the table and after a while, he instructed Yang Sheng, "Check this Miss Guo."

Yang Sheng nodded in agreement.

Originally, Yue Fuli had never paid attention to her and didn't care, but after what happened last night, he had to check her background.

"Also, arrange for someone..."

Yue Fuli whispered some instructions again, with a cold murderous intent in his eyes. He would repay the loss he suffered last night double!

……

On the other side, Si He returned to her yard, which was still quiet. It seemed that the person who was drugged had not woken up yet.

After returning to the room, I saw Hongdou still lying on the recliner in the corner, sleeping soundly.

Si He took a look, then walked to the bed, took off her shoes, and lay down on the bed to rest for a while.

It was just dawn now, and when everyone in the inn woke up, there would definitely be a commotion, so she could still sleep for a while longer.

Sure enough, when the sky brightened and the sleeping people woke up, the whole post station was in chaos. Manager Chen and others were also shocked. They saw a pile of corpses in the post station and had no idea what had happened last night.

Fortunately, none of their own people were harmed, and the dead person seemed to be an assassin.

Manager Chen hurried to Si He's side to check on her and was relieved to learn that she was fine.

Immediately afterwards, officials from the government arrived to investigate what happened last night.

After most of the day's investigation and questioning, the final conclusion was that the bandits colluded with a servant in the post station, secretly drugged and robbed, and were finally repelled by the men of the Yue family's son.

As for the identity of the young master of the Yue family, the officials did not reveal a single detail.

Manager Chen and others had no time to inquire about the other person's identity. They just hurriedly took their people and set off to leave this dangerous place.

When Si He got on the carriage, Yue Fuli and others had already left and their whereabouts were unknown.

She sat in the carriage and had no time to take out the bone beads to explore.

Because the driver was driving too fast, it was like he was running for his life and the ride was very bumpy.

This was mainly because they were scared by what happened last night. They just wanted to return to Guang'an City in Zhongzhou as soon as possible. After all, the distance was not too far, and Manager Chen and others were riding their horses in front at full speed, so the coachman had to speed up and follow closely.

The carriage was shaking all the way, and Hongdou was about to vomit. She could only hold on to the carriage tightly and grit her teeth to hold on.

Si He also didn't feel well and looked unhappy.

Fortunately, this journey did not last too long. When we reached the official road where there were more people, we slowed down and were no longer in such a hurry.

When it came time to stay at night, Manager Chen did not choose an inn, but went into the city in advance and found an inn under the name of the Guo family, which made him feel at ease.

After a night's rest, we set off early the next day.

After traveling for half a day, they finally arrived at Guang'an City, the capital of Zhongzhou and the city where the Guo family's main residence is located.

There were many people entering and leaving the city at this time, so they could only follow the queue and enter the city. At this time, the carriage was moving as slowly as a turtle, moving forward little by little.

Si He and Hong Dou couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage and look out.

The city of Guang'an is very large, much larger than any city Si He has ever visited before.

The city wall is made of bluestone and seems to be towering into the clouds, majestic and spectacular.

The city gate was also built tall and majestic, with many soldiers in armor guarding it and checking the people passing by.

Si He took a look, then looked away and sat back in the car silently, holding the cloth bag that she usually tied around her waist, which contained bone beads.

Hongdou also withdrew her yearning gaze and sat back in the car. Seeing her holding the cloth bag thoughtfully, Hongdou was already used to this.

However, now that they were almost at the Guo family's house, Hongdou couldn't help but whisper a reminder to her, "Miss, please be careful with your words and actions. The Guo family attaches great importance to rules and etiquette. If you are not careful, you will be punished."

Hongdou didn't know her purpose of entering the Guo family, but at this critical moment, she just hoped that she would not implicate herself, so on the way here, when she was resting at night, Hongdou temporarily explained to her the members and relationships of the Guo family, as well as the basic etiquette rules.

Although Hongdou was still young when she left the Guo family, she had a good memory, and those rules and etiquette were taught to her since she was a child. It seemed as if they were engraved in her bones and she could never forget them.

Si He raised her eyes to look at Hong Dou and replied calmly, "Yeah."

Then he put away the cloth bag in his hand and no longer tied it around his waist.

After a long while, the carriage finally entered the city after a round of inspection.

After entering the city, I immediately felt the prosperity of the city.

The streets in the city are crisscrossed and very wide, with bluestone pavement that is clean and smooth.

There are people coming and going on the road, and the roadside is filled with various stalls. There are shouts everywhere, and the place is bustling with people.

There are also shops lining both sides of the road, including silk shops selling silk and cloth, jewelry stores dealing in jewelry and jade, and teahouses and taverns filled with fragrance, creating a prosperous scene.

Along the way, we occasionally encountered patrol officers, which gave us a sense of security.

Fortunately, it was a cloudy day today and the sun was not visible, so she didn't need to wear a cloak or hold an umbrella, otherwise it would look quite awkward.

After passing through several streets and alleys, the carriage finally arrived at the Guo family mansion.

Manager Chen went to report and waited for a long time before he brought Si He and the others in through the side door. He was very low-key. After all, she was just a concubine's daughter of the Guo family and had been sent away for many years. If they heard that she was quite good-looking, she would not have been sent back at all.

After entering the door, Si He silently looked at everything around her with a calm and composed expression.

The servants of the Guo family were secretly looking at the Ninth Young Lady whom they had not seen for many years. They were all amazed by her appearance. They did not expect that she had changed so much after growing up. If she was not just an unfavored concubine's daughter and had a hard life, they would have thought that someone was trying to impersonate her.

When I walked into the front hall, there were quite a lot of people. Men, women, young and old, dressed in brocade clothes were sitting all over the place. They looked at Si He with different expressions, looking at this concubine's daughter whom they had not seen for many years.

Sitting on the main seat was an old lady in her sixties, the old lady of the Guo family, and also Guo Jiaqu's grandmother.

Hongdou whispered something to the side, and Si He followed the etiquette and stepped forward to pay her respects, "Granddaughter Jiaqu, greetings to grandmother."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she was responded with a cold snort.

"Humph!"
