“Elder Huang, have you heard of places where many people have gone missing?”
“Places where many people have gone missing…”
Elder Huang knew she was asking this because she wanted to know where the people who turned her prescription into poison were.
However, the border was huge, and news did not spread immediately.
“Young Master, I don’t know yet, but the information network that Master left behind has been reactivated. I’ll give an order, and we’ll find out in less than two days.”
“Alright, go and investigate. I want to know the exact location when I return.” An Jiuyue nodded and turned to leave.
When Elder Huang saw that she was about to leave immediately, he instructed the servants to arrange for a carriage and a coachman. However, An Jiuyue refused and only asked for a horse.
Standing outside Jade Kite Garden Villa’s gate, Qian Jiyun was dumbfounded by the sight of the large building.
Based on the address given, he had expected the place An Jiuyue stayed to be a little luxurious. However, he never expected it to be a garden villa.
“Jiuyue.”
“Qian Jiyun?”
An Jiuyue heard Qian Jiyun’s voice right when she was about to mount her horse. She paused and turned to look at him.
It was Qian Jiyun! He was also holding the reins of his horse and looking at her.
“Why are you here? Is there nothing happening in the camp?”
There should be a lot of matters to settle in the military camp. How does he have the time to come here? I gave him my address so he could contact me in case of an emergency.
“Nothing serious.” Qian Jiyun smiled and led his horse to her side.
“Young Master.”
The servant holding the reins of her horse looked at the man who had just come and then at her.
“Since you’re here, I don’t have to look for you.” An Jiuyue took the reins from Qian Jiyun and handed them to the servant. “Take the horses away and take good care of them.”
“Yes, Young Master,” the servant replied and led the horses away.
“Come, I’ll bring you in.”
She took Qian Jiyun’s hand, and they entered the Jade Kite Garden Villa.
“I was just about to go to you. How’s the military camp like recently? How’s the treatment for the epidemic going?” she asked Qian Jiyun as they walked.
“It’s alright. Everything is under control,” Qian Jiyun replied with a smile.
He looked down at his hand in hers and felt even happier.
“I came here because I have something to tell you.”
There was nothing serious initially. However, when he thought about how Shen Yan and the other chiefs had come to look for Jiuyue, he could not forget about it.
An Jiuyue stopped in her tracks and turned to ask him, “What’s going on?”
“Well…”
“Young Master, you’re back?”
Elder Huang was instructing someone to prepare the herbs when he saw An Jiuyue return.
“This is…”
“Elder Huang, this is Qian Jiyun. He’s my… friend,” An Jiuyue introduced him with a smile.
“Qian Jiyun!”
Upon hearing his name, Elder Huang narrowed his eyes and sized him up.
Some people might not have known Qian Jiyun, but even a three-year-old child living by the border should have heard of him.
Everyone knew Prince Zhan Yun had guarded the southern border for many years. One would be a fool not to know that.
An Jiuyue nodded and continued, “Yes, you must have heard of him, right? Jiyun, this is Elder Huang, the old butler of Jade Kite Garden Villa.”
“Elder Huang.” Qian Jiyun nodded at Elder Huang.
