Chapter 551: Auntie Ke Is Leaving

“Yundong.” Aunt Ke interrupted her. “I’m very happy to hear you say that. It’s not in vain that I’ve treated you sincerely.”
Gu Yundong frowned and heard her continue, “But I should go.”
“Go? What do you mean?”
“Back then, I stayed in the Gu family because you wanted to go out to look for your father and Imperial Physician Song. I was worried about Yunshu and Yunke, so I stayed in the Gu family to take care of them. Your father has been found, and you can also contact Imperial Physician Song. In the future, you don’t have to worry about the two children when you go out. Naturally, I should go home.”
Gu Yundong was caught off guard. She really did not expect Aunt Ke to say goodbye.
“Why should you go back? Aunt, you’re alone at home. Yunshu and Keke are here to accompany you. Besides, we’ve long treated you as family and planned to support you in your old age.”
“I know.” Aunt Ke’s expression softened. These days, she had also treated these children as family. “Although I can’t bear to, Yundong, I should go back.”
Aunt Ke’s expression was serious and her eyes were stubborn.
The Gu family did not treat her as an outsider, but she had a family after all. She also had relatives.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that she still had Nie Cong, her nephew, to support her in her old age meant that the Nie Family would definitely bring her back without a word.
If she stayed in the Gu family and let the completely unrelated Gu Yundong take care of her in her old age, what would that count for? The Nie family would be criticized.
Moreover, it was also very awkward for her to continue living in the Gu family.
Gu Yundong was silent. She lowered her head slightly, as if she did not want to talk to Aunt Ke.
She seemed to be throwing a tantrum.
Aunt Ke wanted to laugh. “You’re actually so childish. Alright, I know how you feel. It’s not like we can’t see each other in the future. The prefectural city isn’t far from here. When I miss you guys, I can just come over again. My body is very strong. It won’t be a problem for me to travel back and forth.”
Gu Yundong pursed her lips and did not want to speak.
After a long time, she wiped her face. “Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll respect your choice. However, I won’t care about Keke and Yunshu. Aunt, go convince them yourself.”
“…” She was indeed black-hearted. Aunt Ke had thought that she was a little cute just now, but she immediately revealed her true colors.
However, she had already dealt with Gu Yundong. Could it be that she could not deal with Yunshu and Yunke?
That night, when Yunshu returned home from school, Aunt Ke had a very deep conversation with the two children.
Of course, the two of them couldn’t bear to part with her, especially Keke. She was crying so hard that her face was smudged.
The young lady was the person who interacted with Aunt Ke the most. When Gu Yundong left Yongfu Village, it was Aunt Ke who took care of her. After interacting for a long time, they developed feelings for each other and were used to it. When she suddenly wanted to leave, the young lady burst into tears.
Aunt Ke comforted her for a long time before she nodded obediently with tears in her eyes. She stayed in her arms for the entire night and refused to leave.
Aunt Ke was helpless and happy. She hugged the little girl’s soft body and said to Gu Yundong, “Tomorrow. I’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
Gu Yundong was expressionless. “Not tomorrow. My father still has to go to Yunshu’s school tomorrow. The carriage is unavailable.”
Gu Dajiang, who had been watching from the beginning to the end, immediately nodded solemnly. “Yes, yes. I have to visit Yunshu’s master. After tomorrow, Yunshu and the others will be on leave. I can’t delay any longer. Otherwise, Old Master will think that our family is insincere.”
Eh? Old Master??
