“Ah, miss Lin, bad news. Our boss has run away from home.”
Early in the morning, there were earth-shaking shouts in Lin Yuelan’s courtyard.
Lin Yuelan was sleeping soundly inside her space when she suddenly heard a loud knock on the door. She could only exit her space with a frown, put on her clothes, and yawn. She opened the door and said to Guo Bing, who was knocking on the door, “what are you shouting for? It’s so early in the morning! Can’t you tell that I was sleeping?”
Guo Bing was holding a piece of paper in his hand and said to Lin Yuelan anxiously, “no, miss Lin, my boss. He ran away from home.”
Lin Yuelan was a little surprised when she heard this. “Your boss ran away from home?”
“Yup!” Guo Bing nodded vigorously.
Lin Yuelan was a little puzzled. “Why did he run away from home for no reason?”
Guo Bing shook his head. “I don’t know. He only left a note that said he’d be back after half a month.” As he said this, he showed the paper in his hand to Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan opened the note and saw a simple sentence: Miss Yue ‘Er, I’m going out for about half a month. Please don’t worry!
‘Damn, I’m so busy. Who has the time to worry about you?’ Lin Yuelan thought to herself.
Lin Yuelan was a little disdainful of Guo Bing’s fussing behavior. She rolled her eyes and said casually, “if he wants to leave, then so be it. He’s not a child. Why should we be worried?”
However, Guo Bing was still anxious.”Miss Lin, have you forgotten that we are still wanted? If Boss leaves and is discovered, they will definitely accuse him of leaving his post without permission, neglecting his duty, and so on. Also, the assassins might come after him again.”
In the past few months, they had not returned to the capital directly because they were afraid that the people in the capital had set up a trap. Before they could see the Emperor, they would all be killed. Therefore, even though they had been working hard for the past few months, they were also preparing a plan to return to the capital.
However, their leader had actually run away from home.
Guo Bing and the other three were anxious, but Lin Yuelan didn’t seem worried at all. She said lightly, “your boss is not stupid. Or do you really look down on your wise, brave, decisive, and intelligent general? Besides, the scar on your boss’s face has been cured, so he doesn’t need to wear a mask anymore. Who can recognize him?”
As she said this, she suddenly thought of something. Then, she turned to look at the stables. Obviously, Liefeng had disappeared too. Similarly, with its current appearance, no one could tell that it was Liefeng.
However, Lin Yuelan didn’t feel too good. Liefeng had promised to stay by her side, but all of a sudden, it had left with its original owner.
Guo Bing and the others felt Lin Yuelan made sense.
When they saw the note on the table, they immediately panicked and worried. Now that they had calmed down, they felt that they had been overreacting.
Jiang Zhennan’s departure did not affect Lin Yuelan in the slightest. She continued to busy herself with her own matters.
Thanks to the efforts of Doctor Zhang and Lin Deshan, as well as Lin Yiwei’s persuasion, Lin Yuelan managed to buymost of the empty land in three days.
Since Lin Deshan had suddenly acknowledged Lin Yuelan as his granddaughter, no one had any doubts about whether Lin Yuelan had money to buy the land.
The reason was that almost everyone, including Lin Yiwei, thought that the money was given by Lin Deshan.
In fact, only Lin Yuelan and Lin Deshan knew where the money had come from.
Lin Deshan returned to town the day after the ceremony. He wanted to bring Lin Yuelan there to let the people in the shop recognize this young lady as their future master.
However, Lin Yuelan was busy collecting the land and couldn’t spare time for the next few days. Therefore, the matter of returning to the town was postponed.
