Chapter 914: A Man and a Woman

The more Bao Lingyue thought about it, the more likely it seemed. “Look, she was just about to leave when she suddenly changed her mind and pointed out the way without saying a word. It looks like she has some bad intentions.”
“Yes, that makes sense.” Nie Shuang nodded. “Besides, it’s not like Sister Yundong doesn’t have money at home. Why would she live at the foot of the mountain? I heard that there are many wild beasts in the Nine Tigers Mountain. If some tigers, bears, and wild boars run out of the mountain, wouldn’t the families at the foot of the mountain be the first to suffer? Sister Yundong still has younger siblings. How can she live there?”
“That woman lied to us. She pointed us in the opposite direction.”
The two of them nodded heavily and finally looked at the silent Madam Dai.
The latter also felt that… it made sense.
Hence, Nie Shuang decided, “Then let’s walk to the middle of the village. We’ll ask the other villagers when we meet them.”
“Okay.”
The two of them stuck their heads out and asked the coachman to continue riding towards the center of the village.
“This Yongfu Village is good, but the road is too difficult to walk.”
.com“Why don’t we take the main road? We’ll detour out and head for the wider road.”
“We can’t. What if we go the wrong way?”
“We won’t go the wrong way. Believe me, my intuition is very accurate. Besides, think about it. The Gu family has carriages going back and forth every day. It’s not convenient to take the small road. They’ll definitely go to the main road.”
“That might not be the case. If the carriage can’t pass, you can get down and walk.”
Madam Dai’s head hurt from the two of them arguing. Seeing that they were all leaning over to look out, she said angrily, “I think what you said makes sense. Why don’t we stop asking for directions and see who can convince who? Let’s follow what she says.”
Nie Shuang was taken aback and her eyes suddenly lit up. “That makes sense. Lingyue, let’s not ask for directions. Come down and look for it yourself. Let’s see who finds Sister Yundong’s house first.”
“I’d like that.”
Madam Dai was speechless.
The two of them alighted from the carriage, each with a maidservant behind them. Then, they walked in the direction they had chosen.
Madam Dai wanted to take back her words, but when she saw that the two of them had already sped away, she choked on her words and could not say anything.
She sat in the carriage and did not move. Afraid that something would happen to the two of them in this unfamiliar place, she hurriedly asked the two servants in the carriage behind to follow.
She quickly saw another woman and asked for the direction of the Gu family.
When she found out that the Gu family was indeed at the foot of the mountain, she could not help but feel vexed. So that woman had not lied to them.
Of course, Jin Yuexiang wanted to lie to them, but her son, Hu Liang, was still lying on the bed half-dead. He had been beaten up by the Peng family. The people in these two carriages were obviously rich and noble. If they knew that she had lied to them and broke her legs later, how could she live?
However, she did not expect that her earlier actions would actually make people directly deny her words. She was very wronged.
Madam Dai laughed. After thinking for a moment, she decided to go to the Gu residence first.
When the time came, she would ask Yundong to send two people to look for the two girls. After all, she was not familiar with this place. She did not want to add to Yundong’s trouble.
At this moment, Nie Shuang and Bao Lingyue were using different methods to reach the same destination. Although they had taken two different paths, in the end, they both stopped at the entrance of the same house.
However, there was a man and a woman standing at the door of this house.
From the looks of it, they seemed to be husband and wife. They were even holding gift boxes.
Nie Shuang and Bao Lingyue looked at each other. This was the Gu family’s house, so it was definitely not wrong. The two of them were also here to congratulate Gu Yundong on her coming-of-age ceremony, right?
