Chapter 70: A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Lakes Finally Returning Home
Capital, Guo Mansion.
By the way, since Xiao Guo secretly took Xiaoqing out to explore the world, the family has lost a little bit of the fun of the past.
Mrs. Guo looked out the window worriedly every day, and everyone knew what she was worried about.
Today, Guo Juxia happened to be at home casually. Seeing his wife like this, he also comforted her with concern:
"Madam, don't worry. Fu'er has grown up and will take good care of herself. Besides, Xiaoqing is still there. You, don't worry too much."
Hearing Guo Juxia's consolation, Mrs. Guo sighed lightly and said worriedly:
"Oh, people say that my mother is worried about traveling thousands of miles here. I am just a daughter like Fu'er, so how can I not worry about it? In addition, Fu'er and Qing'er have no experience in the world, so let them go through the world alone. How can I let go of my heart!"
Seeing that his smart and wise wife who was usually like this now, Guo Juxia also felt something was a bit interesting, but he still stood up to comfort her.
"Okay, madam, don't think about it. I wonder if we were younger than Fu'er and the others when we were in the world, so we're here to get through it well. Don't you worry too much, is this child always going to grow up?"
When Mrs. Guo heard this, she shook her head even more worriedly.
"How can I not know about this? But it is precisely because we have also entered the world that I know how dangerous this world is. This martial arts are second. The key is people's hearts. Fu'er and the others are too simple."
After some comfort, Guo Juxia saw that he was more and more worried as he persuaded him, and he couldn't help but feel that it was a bit tricky. Why is this much more difficult than handling cases and catching thieves on his usual daily life?
Guo Juxia, who was at a loss, had to persuade her wife first when she saw her worried look:
"Madam, you're tired after standing for a day. You'd better sit down and rest for a while."
As he said that, Guo Juxia hugged Mrs. Guo and wanted her to sit down and rest.
But Mrs. Guo broke free from the hand that Guo Juxia was holding, and instead said to him with some complaints:
"Oh, you said you are the same. Fu'er and the others have been away from home for more than half a year, so you don't care about them."
When Guo Juxia heard this, he was yelling that he was wronged, but his wife did not listen to his explanation.
"You are the acting leader of the six doors. Fu'er ran away from home. It's fine if you don't send someone to protect her. There is no news. I see, your father is deprived of his duty."
Mrs. Guo's words were directly at the critical point of Guo Juxia. Guo Juxia was speechless and his face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
Mrs. Guo looked at Guo Juxia like this and knew his difficulties. She quickly turned to comfort her with a gentle voice.
"Okay, I was just angry. I know that the court has been shaking recently, and the world is not calm. You can't get a hand in your six doors. Thank you for your hard work in the past six years."
Hearing his wife's understanding, Guo Juxia felt warm. He smiled and was about to say something.
but...
"Madam, master, good news! Miss is coming!" The housekeeper hurriedly ran in.
"Um!"
When Mrs. Guo heard this, she had not waited for everyone to react. She was as bright as the breeze and immediately came to the door and grabbed the letter held by the butler.
The housekeeper felt a breeze blowing before his eyes, and then the letter in his hand disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Guo Juxia looked at his wife who had already received the letter.
"This, this is really Fu'er's letter!" Looking at Xiao Guo's handwriting on the envelope, Mrs. Guo quickly said in surprise, and then she quickly opened the envelope and looked like it.
But at this moment, a maid also ran in quickly to report. "Madam, master, Miss Xiaoqing is back."
"What!" Mrs. Guo heard a sound. This was a good thing. In the past, there was no news. Now, two people came. She didn't care about reading the letter and hurriedly ran out.
Guo Juxia and others also hurriedly followed.
...
It is said that after Xiaoqing left Tongfu Inn, she traveled through mountains and rivers, and slept in the open all the way. Finally, after more than a month of walking, she finally returned to the capital.
"Qing'er!"
Xiaoqing just sat down and took a sip of water when she heard a familiar cry, and she quickly got up.
"Madam!" Looking at the person who appeared at the door, Xiaoqing was so excited that she was about to salute.
However, before her hand was clasped, Mrs. Guo was tightly held in her hand.
Mrs. Guo looked at Xiaoqing's dirty face and couldn't help but say with some distress:
"I have suffered a lot in the past six months. Look at your dark face, you have lost a lot of weight."
Listening to the gentle and caring words of the wife, Xiaoqing's eyes couldn't help but feel wet.
Over the past month, she has been in short supply of money and is really tired of walking. If she hadn't even been good at martial arts, she would have been sold by someone long ago.
During this month, she really felt what the sinister world is and the hearts of the people are unpredictable.
Xiaoqing held back her tears and said:
"Madam, I'm fine, I'm worried about placing my wife. By the way, Madam, Miss..."
"Fu'er? What's wrong with Fu'er? Why didn't she come back with you?" Mrs. Guo also found that only Xiaoqing was not Xiao Guo when she heard this. She asked anxiously.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing quickly told Mrs. Guo about what happened at Tongfu Inn.
At this time, Guo Juxia and the others arrived.
After hearing Xiaoqing's story, their hearts were also relieved.
......
After understanding the causes and consequences of the matter, Mrs. Guo also said:
"Xiao Qing said so, the people at Tongfu Inn are good people. Not only did they not blame you for smashing their store, they also helped you to cure the aftermath."
"Yes, madam!" Xiaoqing also recalled the help of Zhanggui Tong to them, and of course there was a hateful figure under the moon.
"It seems that Fu'er is safe at Tongfu Inn. Madam, you can rest assured now." Guo Juxia also comforted him at the right time. He was the second child at home.
"Yeah!" Mrs. Guo also nodded.
"By the way, madam, don't you have a letter from Fu'er?" Guo Juxia reminded him in time.
After hearing this, Mrs. Guo remembered the letter. She quickly took out the letter and read it carefully.
However, there are two letters, and Mrs. Guo handed over another letter involving official duties to Guo Juxia.
After taking the look, Guo Juxia couldn't help but chuckled on his face, and he asked Xiaoqing.
"The constable you just mentioned who helped you is Yan Xiaoliu?"
"Yes!" Although Xiaoqing didn't know where Guo Juxia came from the name Yan Xiaoliu, she still answered truthfully.
At the same time, she muttered in her heart, 'Is it mentioned in the lady's letter? But why did the lady mention him? Could it be, no, right?'
