CHAPTER 1224: CHAPTER 1218: THE LETTER

When she saw him again, all she felt was a sense of surprise.

"Does she know about it?" Lin Qianqing asked in a low voice.

Jin Ziyuan paused for a moment, and the smile in his eyes also froze.

He said, "Whether she knows or not, what does it matter? This is my business, a matter I should handle alone."

Jin Ziyuan had settled Lin Qianqing in Xining. He couldn’t stay with her all the time. After he arranged things for her simply, he had to leave.

He still had a lot of things to do, and he couldn’t stay in the same place for too long.

Revenge, at last, had a direction.

"This shop belongs to Gu Youyou. You can help out here, and you might also be able to send messages to her through them."

Gu Youyou had long issued orders to her shops everywhere; Lin Qianqing would be very safe here.

"Will you come back then?" Lin Qianqing asked Jin Ziyuan.

"I don’t know," Jin Ziyuan replied, "I am such a person, today I am here, where I’ll be tomorrow, even I don’t know."

"Oh!" Lin Qianqing didn’t ask anymore and quietly lowered her head.

"Thank you!" After a while, she said.

Jin Ziyuan smiled and replied, "You’re welcome, you are Gu Youyou’s cousin. To me, saving your life was just a small effort."

"Oh, okay then!"

...

After settling down, Lin Qianqing tucked her letter inside the accounting book when sending it off, and it reached Gu Youyou in Beijing.

Gu Youyou took a lamp and gently heated the letter paper, and the writing slowly became visible.

It was a total of five pages, all filled to the brim with writing.

After reading it, Gu Youyou took a deep breath and threw all the letter paper into the furnace to burn them.

She lifted her head and told Jin Zijin, "It really was King Jin who sent her away. She doesn’t know why King Jin would send her away and asked me to find out if there had been any trouble. Also, the person who rescued her is Jin Ziyuan, she’s now in Xining."

Jin Zijin pondered for a moment, saying, "King Jin sent her away because he didn’t want her to end up pregnant with someone else’s child like the other women in the residence. Since she has run away, let her not come back for the time being. If she comes back, it would only make things difficult for your uncle."

"Alright, I’ll visit the Lin Family tomorrow to give them peace of mind. Ever since she ran away, the Lin Family has been almost frantic."

"Don’t, you should not go. I’ll find a way to pass a message to your uncle," Jin Zijin suggested.

Gu Youyou didn’t dwell much on it and began to write her a reply.

It seems King Jin is quite pitiful, for a man to endure to that extent without being stifled to death is truly a miracle.

In the blink of an eye, winter arrived, and in October, snow began to fall.

Jin Xuyao was eight months old now, at the age where he enjoyed crawling around and playing.

To allow him to crawl nimbly without getting cold, they could only keep the fire in the Warm Pavilion burning furiously.

Outside, the rain and snow were flurrying, while inside, it was as warm as the spring sun.

Searcy would come to borrow fire from Gu Youyou’s place during the day, and she would occasionally complain that the carriage driver’s living conditions were really poor, without even a heated kang, almost freezing her to death.

Gu Youyou thought about the time when she lived in Lotus Village with Jin Zijin. He was the one always warming up the bed for her, and it seemed she had never felt the cold.

Remembering this, she laughed and teased, "Doesn’t your coachman warm the bed for you?"

Searcy’s face changed, and she pursed her lips, complaining, "It’s more likely that I’d warm it for him, he’s freezing cold in winter."

Of course, this was all relative.

It was just that Searcy’s body was comparatively warmer.

Gu Youyou looked at her sympathetically and said softly, "My husband’s body is especially warm. Back then, I liked him because he had the ability to warm the bed."
