The Abandoned Wife’s Rebirth - Chap 25
That day, deep into the night, when everyone had fallen asleep, Wu Qianqing quietly got up to soak in the herbal bath. Wu Ruo sat by his side recording Wu Qianqing’s reaction to the herbal bath with a pen and paper, and at the same time, he secretly took his pulse to see if the herbal bath really had any effect on Wu Qianqing.
After monitoring for four nights and confirming that the cultivation field had signs of healing, his heart that had been stuck in his chest could finally relax. However, on the sixth morning of coming back to the Wu estate, Hei Xin already sent someone to inform him that Hei Xuanyi had returned.
After Wu Ruo ate breakfast, he took Shi Jiu and the rest with him to leave Shuqing Garden. At the main entrance, he met twotangdiwho had just come back from going outside; hisershuWu Qianbin’s youngest son, Wu Shi, and hisxiaoshuWu Qiantong’s youngest son Wu Bo.
Wu Shi and Wu Bo saw Wu Ruo and excitedly called out: “Liuge!”
Wu Ruo was sixth in birth order among the sons of his uncles, so thetangdiwho were younger than him addressed him asliuge.
Wu Ruo asked, smiling: “Where have the two of you come back from so early in the morning?”
Wu Bo was still young, and couldn’t manage his own tongue: “We just came back from the gambling den.”
Wu Shi huffed angrily: “Wu Bo, didn’t I already say not to tell anybody? If my dad finds out I’ve gone to the gambling den, and that I even brought you along, he’ll definitely give me a beating.”
Wu Bo giggled: “Sibowouldn’t bear to hit you.”
Wu Ruo smiled and replied: “Relax, I won’t tell on you to theshushus, but the gambling den isn’t a good place, it’s better if you go less in future.”
Wu Bo replied: “Liuge,jiugeand I only go once every half a month.”
Wu Shi rolled his eyes: “Wu Bo, great lord Wu, do you or do you not realise that you’ve completely sold yourself out?”
Wu Bo stuck his tongue out sheepishly: “It’s because I’m happy after winning money that’s why I want to tell someone about it.”
Wu Ruo smiled but didn’t speak, and he didn’t ask how much they had won either.
Wu Shi worried that Wu Bo would say something he wasn’t meant to say again, and hurriedly left while dragging Wu Bo along.
Wu Ruo looked at the two teenagers who were leaving, the smiling expression of his lips deepening: “Actually, the gambling den is a good place, isn’t that right?”
Shi Jiu and the rest very harmoniously chorused back: “Yes, madam.”
Wu Ruo turned around to get onto the carriage, saying to Shi Yuan who was helping him up: “After we get back, change the driver.”
“Understood.”
Before Wu Ruo returned to Hei Manor, he first made a trip to the Ruan estate and only returned to Hei Manor when he found out that Ruan Zhizheng was still unwilling to see him. Alighting from the carriage, he saw a crow flying over, stopping on Shi Yi’s shoulder.
Shi Yi took the small letter tied to the crow’s feet, and vanished it immediately after reading it once. Only after passing through the main entrance into Hei Manor did he say in a low voice: “Madam, Young Master Anrun has arranged to go to Xishan Theatre tomorrow with his friends for a show.”
After Wu Ruo found out that Wu Anrun was about to get married, he let Shi Yi inquire about Wu Anrun’s whereabouts. If Wu Anrun left the Northern main estate, Shi Yi was to immediately inform him.
He nodded his head: “Go and arrange it. Tomorrow, I will also go to Xishan Theatre to watch a show.”
“Understood.”
Shi Yi turned around and left Hei Manor.
At this moment, Hei Xin walked over: “Madam, Master is currently waiting for you in the main hall.”
“Waiting for me?” the space between Wu Ruo’s eyebrows twitched: “Is he looking for me about something?”
“Master has brought someone back, and wants to introduce them to you to get acquainted with.”
Wu Ruo asked: “Do you know who this person is?”
“I do not know.”
Wu Ruo walked towards the main hall, and even before he entered the building, he could already hear bright and clear laughter coming from the main hall: “Little Hei, you bought such a big residence in Gaoling City, you’re not thinking of settling down here, are you?”
When Wu Ruo heard this voice, his whole body froze, this sounded a lot like his master‘s voice.
