Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 218: Plans
This time she brought two young apprentices for her mother, not knowing how her mother would feel.
Thinking of this, Huanhuan laughed out loud.
In a burst of laughter, the three of them slowly fell into a deep sleep.
*
A small grove somewhere along Shangjing Road.
At night, a bonfire is built.
"Young Master, how long do you think it will take us to reach Capital City? I don’t know the way, so I kept asking along the way. I’m not sure if I took the wrong path. It’s my first time traveling so far."
Lu He’s small face was flushed with a faint glow under the firelight.
Catching up with the Eldest Young Master to travel wasn’t timely enough, they missed the time to enter the city, and the city gates were closed at night. They could only enter at dawn, so they spent the night in a small grove not far from the city gates.
When will these days of eating in the wind and sleeping under the stars end?
After leaving Yandang Mountain, unexpectedly, he was still spending nights in the wild.
A life more bitter than a yellow lotus~
The man’s face was calm, silent.
"Young Master, you’ve recovered already, haven’t you? Why don’t you speak to people? You should say more, otherwise, if you become mute again, it won’t be good. Not long from now, when we reach Capital City, we can find Divine Doctor Xiao to treat you. I’m almost out of traveling expenses, and I don’t know if it will be enough for the treatment."
Seated not far from the bonfire, the woman reached into her bosom to touch the Hollow Lotus Patterned White Jade Bracelet, then took it out.
She held it under the firelight.
"Young Master, look, this Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet was left to me by my mother. It can help me find my family. According to my mother, my maternal grandparents are very wealthy. If they acknowledge me, I’ll stay with them, and you’ll have money for your treatment."
"If, if..."
She stopped, not continuing.
Zhao Jun lifted his gaze, his scarred face caught in the firelight, starkly contrasting in depths and light, making a shocking sight. He hadn’t shaved in a few days, giving him a haggard appearance: "If what?"
His voice was terribly hoarse, like the rasping words of a dying elderly person.
Lu He looked at the white jade bracelet in her hands, speaking softly: "If they don’t acknowledge me, I’ll pawn it to treat you, and I’ll have no more ties with the Gu Family. I will simply be Lu He."
"Lu He, your name is very nice."
Zhao Jun pondered over these two words, giving his evaluation before falling silent again. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
His voice was terribly hoarse, unlike that of a normal person. All this time, she had been taking care of him, even when his own parents abandoned him, yet she never gave up.
Lu He, it seemed like the first time knowing her name, the first time calling her by name, as he’d simply called her the foolish servant before.
Following the firelight, he glanced at her clean and delicate face.
Soft and gentle.
At this moment, it seemed no other woman could compare to her even a bit.
"My father named me that because my mother liked lotus flowers, and my surname is Lu, so the name was decided. It’s also thanks to my mother."
Lu He suddenly thought of a question: "Young Master, if your foot is healed, what’s the first thing you want to do? Is it to return to Feng County to find Miss Sun?"
The man’s expression darkened, speaking plainly: "I’ve told you before, do not to go to Capital City. I have enemies there, and once I go, I don’t know if I’ll be able to come out alive. But if nothing happens to me, and my foot gets healed, I’ll start a business then and make lots of money."
Once this obstacle is overcome, I’ll protect you from then on.
I want her to live a life adorned with pearls and jade, surrounded by luxury and abundance.
