Wan Gu smiled and said, “Madam, I am Wan Gu.”
Wang Jinhe looked at Wan Gu in astonishment, and upon closer inspection, she indeed found something familiar about him.
“Is this… a disguise?” she asked.
“Yes.”
Wang Jinhe looked surprised. “Why did you decide to disguise yourself?”
“Qiming is coming soon, and he knows what I look like. It’s simpler to disguise myself to avoid unnecessary trouble,” Wan Gu explained.
“You didn’t have to disguise yourself so early,” Wang Jinhe said, furrowing her brow.
“I want the people in the house to get used to it, to prevent any problems later on,” Wan Gu explained.
Wang Jinhe nodded in understanding. It turned out that Wan Gu was meticulous in everything he did.
“Madam, I will go find the young master.”
When Su Yu saw a stranger enter the study, he just glanced at him and then lowered his head to continue with his work.
Wan Gu looked at Su Yu’s lack of reaction and felt completely speechless. “Could it be that there’s something wrong with my disguise?”
“No problem,” Su Yu said without looking up.
“Why didn’t you react then?”
“Go find Xiao Bao and see if you can fool him,” Su Yu replied.
Wan Gu really didn’t believe it, so he turned and went to find Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao, who was practicing martial arts, saw Wan Gu walking over and curiously asked, “Uncle Wan Gu, are you looking for my dad? He’s in the study, not here.”
“…,” Wan Gu was completely speechless.
“You can tell it’s me?” Wan Gu asked persistently.
Xiao Bao tilted his head, looked at Wan Gu with a puzzled expression, and furrowed his brow. “Is that difficult?”
Wasn’t it obvious at a glance?
Wan Gu turned to look at Zhang Zhilin. “Young Master Zhilin, can you tell it’s me?”
Zhang Zhilin shook his head and said, “If Xiao Bao hadn’t told me, I definitely wouldn’t have recognized you.”
Only then did Wan Gu nod in satisfaction. He had thought his disguise was perfect, so how could he be recognized?
But how did the young master and the master recognize him?
“How did you recognize me, young master?” Wan Gu asked curiously.
Xiao Bao considered for a moment and said, “I just can.”
He didn’t know why he could recognize Wan Gu, but he could tell it was him, even though his appearance had changed.
Unable to get an answer from Xiao Bao, Wan Gu had to go to Su Yu. “Young Master, how did you recognize me?”
“I can read facial features, so I naturally recognized you,” Su Yu casually replied.
Observing Wan Gu’s unusually disguised appearance, Su Yu asked, “Why did you decide to disguise yourself today?”
It was at this point that Wan Gu remembered the reason for coming to Su Yu was to tell him about Qiming.
“Today, I received a letter from my master. He said that Qiming went to see him, and after my master refused to reveal my whereabouts, Qiming left. My master doesn’t know where he went afterward, but he suspects that Qiming must have come to find you,” Wan Gu explained.
Su Yu’s movements paused, and he narrowed his eyes. “He’s here.”
Wan Gu looked at Su Yu with some disapproval. “Young Master, do you know what you’re saying?”
“I’m fine. Did your master tell Qiming about your ability to detoxify?” Su Yu asked Wan Gu.
Wan Gu nodded. “He even threatened my master and wanted to harm him, but because of my master’s special status, he didn’t dare to do anything.”
Su Yu was also surprised that Qiming would threaten Lou Xi.
“Is your master okay?”
“He’s fine, but if Qiming comes this time, it’s probably not for a good reason. He knows what I look like, so it’s better to disguise myself in advance to get used to it,” Wan Gu explained his plan.
Su Yu nodded. “It’s good that you’ve made a decision.”
The two families quickly accepted Wan Gu’s disguise, and gradually became accustomed to it.
By the time they had become accustomed to it, Qiming had already arrived at Xie Family Village.
As he approached the village, Qiming’s expression remained very grim, especially when he saw that Su Yu lived in such an ordinary small courtyard.
Coldly, he walked over to Su Yu’s home and had someone knock on the door.
Wan Gu went to open the door, and when he saw Qiming, his eyes turned slightly cold. However, this change in expression lasted only for a moment. By the time Qiming looked closely, Wan Gu’s eyes had already returned to calm.
“Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Su Yu.”
“Wait.” With a bang, the door was shut.
Qiming’s expression turned very grim as he looked at the closed door.
“They are too arrogant,” he muttered. How dare they keep a prince waiting outside.
“According to our findings, Su Yu is now also a prince of Xuan empire, and is deeply favored by Xuan Feiran,” the people around him said. Not only Su Yu, but even his wife, Wang Jinhe, was greatly favored by Xuan Feiran.
The onlookers saw Qiming’s silent and bowed head, knowing that this was not the time to say anything.
Since Su Yu became a prince of Xuan empire, their prince’s mood had been very poor, especially when he first found out about Su Yu becoming a prince and having a family. At that time, anyone who provoked the prince ended up meeting a tragic fate.
Thinking about the past events, the guards dared not say a word and could only stand quietly by the side.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the main door opened again and Wan Gu came out, saying, “Our young master says he won’t see you.”
“Does he refuse to see an old acquaintance?” Qiming asked Wan Gu coldly.
Wan Gu’s expression turned slightly cold as he now understood why Su Yu had refused to see Qiming.
After looking at Qiming for a while, Wan Gu suddenly turned and left, making sure to close the door firmly behind him as he departed.
Qiming stared at the closed door with an icy expression, as if he wanted to kill Wan Gu.
“As the young master guessed, if the other party doesn’t see the young master, they won’t give up easily. Young master, what do you think?” Wan Gu asked Su Yu, his brow slightly furrowed, showing some concern.
Su Yu sat leisurely in his chair, seemingly unfazed by the situation outside.
“If he wants to see me, then let him,” Su Yu suddenly spoke up.
Wan Gu looked at Su Yu with some disapproval. “Young master, what are you thinking? Why do you want to see him?”
Su Yu toyed with the jade pendant at his waist, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, as if he were smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
“Wan Gu, since he’s already here and won’t give up until he sees me, then let’s meet. Some matters need to be resolved in private, while others need to be clarified in public,” Su Yu said, implying that some things needed to be addressed openly, such as a rupture.
It’s better to clarify such matters face to face. As for what the other party thinks, it’s not his concern.
Letting out a soft sigh, Wan Gu looked at Su Yu in this state, finding it difficult to discern what he was planning to do.
“You’ve really decided to meet him, young master?”
