When Gu Yundong and her group changed direction to head towards Xuanhe Mansion, they happened to be spotted by Gu Qiuyue.
She immediately found her husband Fu Ming and Mr. Qian and hurriedly pointed in their direction. Seeing them rushing over, she smirked maliciously.
“I told you not to be too proud. Just with you, a skinny little brat, do you think you can escape Mr. Qian’s grasp? Wait and see, I’ll make you come back and kowtow to me. Bah!”
Gu Yundong didn’t actually walk very far, after all, she was carrying a child, and it was late at night, making the journey slower.
Fortunately, there weren’t many people on this road, mostly those heading to Wanqing Mansion, which meant they must have decent conditions. Most of them probably had transportation.
Gu Yundong and her group were the only ones walking on foot. Well, she would have to see if there were any vehicles she could use in the space later.
However, because of this, when she heard the footsteps approaching from behind, Gu Yundong’s first instinct was to tense up and cautiously lead Yang Shi to hide behind a nearby dirt slope.
Just as they hid, Mr. Qian and Fu Ming arrived.
One, two, three, four, fiveβfive figures flickered under the moonlight, all seemingly men.
Gu Yundong held her breath. The next moment, she heard the impatient voice of one of the men, “Didn’t you say there were people here? Where are they? Ghosts?”
“Mr. Qian, don’t worry. I didn’t see it wrong just now. They must have heard our footsteps and hid. Think about it, there are only four of them, plus two babies. They can’t walk fast at all. Qiuyue also said they left not long ago, so they must be nearby. We’ll find them soon.”
“Hmph, it’s best to find your niece and nephews. Otherwise, I’ll use your daughter instead.”
“Mr. Qian, rest assured, they won’t escape.”
Gu Yundong realized that Fu Ming’s voice sounded somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t place it until she heard the name ‘Qiuyue’. Wasn’t that her cousin-in-law’s name?
Sure enough, this couple wasn’t up to any good. They had tried to cause trouble before and failed, and now they were back with reinforcements.
This Mr. Qianβ¦
Gu Yundong had heard of him. When she was asking about Gu Dajiang’s whereabouts, she had also been gathering various pieces of information in the area. She knew there was a person named Mr. Qian at the city gate who would trade food for beautiful children, regardless of gender. If he took a liking to you, he might even find a way to bring you into the city.
This Mr. Qian had quite a reputation and was ruthless. It was said that if a child tried to escape, they would be tortured to death right in front of everyone. Anyone who didn’t obey would be beaten until they knelt and begged for mercy.
He didn’t just torture people physically; he also destroyed their mental dignity.
Gu Qiuyue and Fu Ming now wanted to sell her and her siblings to such a person?
Gu Yundong’s face turned ashen. This couple were truly made for each other, no wonder they got along so well.
If that was the case, then she had no reason to hold back.
Gu Yundong whispered to Yang Shi and the already awake Gu Yunshu, “You two stay hidden here. No matter what happens, don’t come out, and don’t make any noise.”
Yang Shi and Gu Yunshu had developed a habit of obeying, so they nodded immediately.
Meanwhile, Mr. Qian waved to his men. “Go, search the area nearby.β
