Chapter 601

Min Rou guiltily shifted her gaze and said:

"Since there is no need to worry about Yu'er's safety, what is there to be angry about?"

Shi Qing laughed in realization:

"That's true, no wonder Junior Sister's complexion is so good today."

Min Rou didn't dare let Shi Qing dwell on this matter,

and hurriedly changed the subject:

"Let's not talk about it, let's go to Prefect Ling's and see if there is anything we can help with."

As for whether Min Rou had any thoughts of wanting to see Gu Hanyuan,

even she herself couldn't sort it out.

Shi Qing agreed upon hearing this:

"Junior Sister is right."

The two went to the Ling residence together.

Gu Hanyuan's spiritual sense positioning showed that Zhao Min and the Blood Knife Ancestor had both started moving.

Clearly, Zhao Min's plan was about to begin.

In order to cooperate with her plan,

Gu Hanyuan had no choice but to return to the Ling residence to wait.

Gu Hanyuan, who no longer had leisure and ease,

soon returned to the Ling residence using lightness skills.

Just as he landed back in the courtyard,

he saw Huang Rong, whose expression was still haggard,

and who was still sleepy-eyed.

He asked with a bit of teasing:

"Did Madam Guo hear any movement last night?"

Huang Rong heard Gu Hanyuan's voice,

her consciousness still somewhat dazed,

and subconsciously replied:

"I didn't go anywhere last night."

This almost self-incriminating statement

left even Gu Hanyuan feeling both amused and annoyed.

It turned out Huang Rong had been brooding over that unpatched hole all along.

Even though she could only see Gu Hanyuan's sturdy back due to the position the night before,

and there was no eye contact,

she still had a sense of guilt as if she had been discovered by him again.

So even though Huang Rong tossed and turned last night, unable to sleep,

she hadn't gone in the direction of Gu Hanyuan's room again.

Gu Hanyuan teased lightly:

"What did Madam Guo think I was asking about?"

Only then did Huang Rong react to what she had said,

and immediately turned bright red.

She hurriedly denied:

"Ah! No. You heard wrong."

Gu Hanyuan didn't make things difficult for Huang Rong, who was so ashamed that her face was covered in a blush.

He feigned a headache and said:

"I wasn't at the Ling residence last night, but this morning I discovered Shi Zhongyu had been abducted. I just wanted to ask if Madam Guo had discovered anything."

Huang Rong's eyes flashed,

thinking of Min Rou,

and she became somewhat sarcastic without realizing it.

She covered her mouth and smiled:

"So that's it, Young Master Gu is quite concerned about that Shi Zhongyu."

Gu Hanyuan didn't show a hint of anything unusual,

but instead said seriously:

"Shi Zhongyu being abducted is also partly my responsibility."

Just as Huang Rong was secretly cursing Gu Hanyuan for being "fake serious" in her heart,

she saw him laugh teasingly:

"It's just that I didn't expect Madam Guo's reaction to be so big."

Once these words were out,

the blush that Huang Rong had finally managed to fade away climbed back up silently.

The blush that Huang Rong had managed to fade away quietly crept back onto her face.
