After taking the letter, Lu Bazi ran all the way back to Gan's house. When he arrived at the door, he was exhausted, sweating profusely and out of breath.
After calling the door, Lu Bazi asked the concierge: "Master... is the master there? Huhu... I, I... I'm looking for him... is there...
Urgent matter..."
The concierge said: "Brother Lu, the young master has already gone out. He has been gone for two quarters of an hour."
"Where...have you gone?" Lu Bazi asked hurriedly.
The concierge shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Lu Bazi leaned on the wall to catch his breath for a while, and then asked: "Then...is the lady there?"
"The lady is in the inner courtyard." The concierge nodded.
As soon as Lu Bazi heard this, he immediately went to the inner courtyard.
After the report was circulated, Lu Bazi finally met Gan Mengxian.
Gan Mengxian didn't want to see Lu Bazi at first, but when she heard him shouting that it was urgent, she came out anyway.
"Lu San, what's the emergency?" Gan Mengxian asked.
Lu Bazi immediately held the letter in front of Gan Mengxian's eyes and said, "Miss, look at this."
"What?" Gan Mengxian glanced at Lu Bazi curiously, then took the letter and read it.
When Gan Mengxian saw the words on the envelope, her expression became surprised: "Brother Ziming personally writes... Jimo!"
"This...is this a letter written by the high priest of Jimo to my father?" Gan Mengxian looked at Lu Bazi in surprise.
Lu Bazi nodded quickly and said: "Yes, Miss. Miss Jimo said last time that her purse was lost, and it contained these letters. It turns out that it is all true!"
With that said, Lu Bazi held the bag containing five hundred taels of silver notes under Gan Mengxian's nose.
Gan Mengxian quickly took the purse and looked at it, then asked: "Where did you find it?"
Lu Bazi said: "To tell you what, my brother on the street discovered it. I just happened to go to his house, so I saw it."
Gan Mengxian frowned in displeasure and asked, "So, your brother is a thief?"
"No, no, no, no, he just leads a group of beggars to beg for a living. He's not stealing, that's not true." Lu Bazi hurriedly denied.
Gan Mengxian understood as soon as she heard this. It seemed that Brother Feng really asked Lu Bazi to find a ten-year-old child so that he could give it to the divine doctor Daqiong for sacrifice.
Gan Mengxian's expression suddenly changed, and she asked sternly: "Lu San, did the young master ask you to find a ten-year-old child, and it has to be born in the first month?"
Lu Bazi was startled and subconsciously shook his head and said: "No...no, miss, I don't even know about a ten-year-old child..."
"Lu San, listen carefully, I will give you another chance to tell the truth now, otherwise, you will get out of the Gan family immediately!" Gan Mengxian's tone suddenly became tougher.
Lu Bazi was frightened. He didn't want to lose such a good job in the Gan family, so he immediately changed his tone and said: "I said, I said...Yes, miss, the young master did tell me that,
But it’s probably impossible to do this…”
"Why do you say that?" Gan Mengxian didn't quite understand.
Lu Bazi swallowed his saliva, and then told what happened to Master Chong last night.
After hearing this, Gan Mengxian asked again: "How are you sure that person is Miss Jimo?"
"Darts!" Lu Bazi said loudly: "Miss, I left in a hurry just now and forgot to bring the darts back. The dart that hurt my brother is exactly the same as the one that hurt Brother Biao, except for Miss Jimo.
, who would use those butterfly-shaped darts? She must have not run away!"
At this time, Gan Mengxian had connected everything in her heart, and she had completely believed in Jimo Qiao.
Gan Mengxian was silent for a moment, and then said to Lu Bazi: "Go tell your brother not to do this again, or you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Lu Bazi immediately said: "Miss, my brother has regretted it a long time ago, how dare he continue to do it? Don't dare, absolutely don't dare!"
"Well, that's pretty much it." Gan Mengxian waved her hand and said, "It's none of your business, just go ahead."
Lu Bazi said: "Miss, what about the young master..."
"You don't need to worry, I will tell the young master." Gan Mengxian said.
Lu Bazi didn't dare to say anything more, then he bowed his head and nodded twice, then retreated with some uneasiness in his heart.
Afterwards, Gan Mengxian turned back to the inner courtyard and came to her father's bedside.
Her father was still asleep, so Gan Mengxian tried calling twice, but his father didn't respond.
Gan Mengxian sat by the bed, opened the letter and read it silently.
The content of the letter was simple and straightforward. The high priest of Jimo first said hello to his father, then explained his current situation, and then solemnly asked his father to let his daughter live at home for a while.
Although the letter was not long, the wording made Gan Mengxian feel that her father and the high priest of Jimo had a very good relationship and they trusted each other very much.
Gan Mengxian was reading the letter for the second time when she suddenly heard her father's weak voice: "Xian'er..."
Gan Mengxian was startled and hurriedly put down the letter in her hand and said concernedly: "Dad, you're awake."
Mr. Gan smiled slightly: "I probably woke up because I was hungry."
Gan Mengxian immediately stood up and went to the door, ordering her servants to bring porridge, water and other food.
When Gan Mengxian returned to the bedside, Mr. Gan had already picked up the envelope and started reading it.
"It turns out it's a letter from Brother Jimo..."
The moment Mr. Gan saw the words on the letter, his smile appeared.
Then, Mr. Gan said expectantly: "Xian'er, read it to dad quickly. What did the letter say?"
Seeing that her father was still conscious, Gan Mengxian quickly read the letter as he wished.
After listening to the letter, Mr. Gan said: "Xian'er, where is Miss Jimo? Have you arranged a place for her to stay and entertain her well? She has come all the way, so you can't neglect her. Do you understand?"
Gan Mengxian couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that her father had forgotten all the words he said yesterday.
But then I thought about it, it's good to do this, so as not to be angry about that thing again, which would cause any harm to my body.
"Dad, don't worry, my daughter will pick up Miss Jimo soon and let her stay at our house." Gan Mengxian said affirmatively.
Mr. Gan was very happy to hear this and asked: "When Miss Jimo comes, you must ask her to come over and see me as soon as possible. I really want to hear her talk about his father."
"I know dad, I will definitely do it." Gan Mengxian agreed wholeheartedly.
Mr. Gan nodded happily and said, "Xian'er, read this letter to Dad again. How come I forgot about it after such a short time?"
Gan Mengxian made a mental calculation and realized that this was all caused by illness. Her father had never been like this in the past and his memory was very good.
Gan Mengxian nodded and started reading from the beginning again...
After reading the letter, Gan Mengxian fed her father something to eat. It wasn't until her father fell asleep again that Gan Mengxian left the room.
When he came out, he saw that there was only half an hour left before noon. Gan Mengxian quickly ordered his servants to prepare the car and prepare to go to Huai'an Tea House.
