My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 172 Gods Online Shipping Couples
The next day, Gu Xingzhao packed a lot of things and went to the He residence, intending to give Lu Youtiao a good boost of nutrition.

To her surprise, as soon as she arrived, she saw He Zhen at the courtyard gate talking to a young man with a servant and carrying a lot of things.

"Young master, Miss Lu said she won't see anyone. You should go back."

The man hesitated. "Madam He, please pass on a message for me: my old friend Jiang Shao has come to visit, and I would like to ask her to see him."

He Zhen remained silent. In fact, Lu Youtiao was still asleep. It was the maid named Qiuyue beside her who said that Miss Lu had instructed last night that if anyone came looking for her today, she should not see anyone.

She had heard about the Lu family's affairs before. The Jiang and Lu families had a good relationship in the past, but they broke off ties because the Lu family broke off the engagement.

Who would have thought that Miss Lu had just divorced last night, and Jiang Shao had rushed over today without stopping.

If it weren't for the fact that he and his servant were carrying a bunch of things, she would have suspected that the Jiang family was here to kick her while she was down.

He Zhen sighed and gestured to the maid beside her to pass on the message, "Please wait a moment, Young Master Jiang."

Upon hearing the name Jiang Shao, Gu Xingzhao immediately knew who it was. Driven by curiosity, she deliberately went around to look at He Zhen and was immediately stunned. She was truly beautiful.

She rarely used the word "pretty" to describe a man, but Jiang Shao really did have a pretty face that was even more beautiful than a woman's. If he were in the modern entertainment industry, he would definitely gain a lot of devoted fans.

Gu Xingzhao recalled Yang Fang's appearance and suddenly realized that Lu Youtiao didn't like pretty boys and preferred mature and stable men.

After all, in terms of family background, the son of the Minister of Revenue is far superior to the Yang family.

In terms of feelings, they were childhood sweethearts.

My child, you're at a disadvantage because of your looks; you're too fair-skinned and delicate.

Jiang Shao waited patiently, carrying his things. The servants behind him wanted to persuade their young master to go back, because if the master found out that the young master had secretly come to see Miss Lu, he would definitely be scolded.

After waiting for a while, the maid who delivered the message returned and led Jiang Shao to the courtyard where Lu Youtiao was currently staying.

Gu Xingzhao followed closely behind, his gossip-loving heart burning brightly.

When Qiuyue and Dongshuang saw Jiang Shao again, their expressions were different. Both of them had been sold into the Lu family as children and followed the eldest daughter, so they knew everything about Jiang Shao and the eldest daughter.

It's said that childhood sweethearts, who have played together for so long, can't develop romantic feelings for each other.

Especially Qiu Yue, who used to think that the girl's feelings were the most important, but now that she sees Jiang Shao still coming, she can't help but think that if the girl had married Young Master Jiang back then... at least she wouldn't be hurt like this now.

Standing at the doorway, Jiang Shao hesitated, "Maybe I should just stand here."

When he was young, there was no strict separation between men and women, and it was okay to play around. Moreover, at that time, both families tacitly approved of the marriage, and he always thought it was a done deal and never thought there would be any surprises.

He initially resented the Lu family for breaking off the engagement, not knowing what he had lost to Yang Fang. Later, he realized that matters of the heart cannot be forced.

After Lu Youtiao got married, in order to avoid suspicion, they never spoke to each other when they met at banquets in recent years.

When she saw the petition last night, she thought that the Lu family was now in exile and there was probably no one in the capital who could help her. She immediately ran to the Yang residence, but she was a step too late. She heard from the people nearby that Lu Youtiao got into a carriage with her dowry and eventually went to the He residence.

That morning, he brought a lot of nourishing ginseng from the storeroom, as well as her favorite foods, jewelry, and cosmetics. He prepared everything that Lu Youtiao liked, thinking that she must be in a bad mood at this time, and seeing the things she used to like might make her feel better.

But things are different now. She's just divorced, and if she were to enter this house by herself, it would likely cause a lot of gossip and damage her reputation. Gu Xingzhao couldn't help but sigh that Lu Youtiao was truly blind.

Qiuyue was carefree and didn't think that far ahead, while Dongshuang was thoughtful and immediately dismissed the servants who were sweeping around the courtyard.

“Young Master Jiang, the young lady is ill and unable to leave the bed. Please come inside and talk.”

Jiang Shao was slightly taken aback. "She's sick?"

Upon learning that Lu Youtiao was ill, he disregarded any need to avoid suspicion, immediately handed the things he was carrying to the two of them, and strode into the house.

"A-Tiao?"

The moment Jiang Shao saw Lu Youtiao, his heart ached terribly, as if a knife was repeatedly cutting open his heart and stabbing it in.

The person in front of me was extremely thin, with a pale face. Her eyes, which were looking at me, no longer held the bright smile they once had, as if a strong wind could carry her away.

He still remembers that Lu Youtiao used to be lively and playful, always fighting with him, climbing trees to steal bird eggs.
This person, whom I once cherished dearly and whom I wouldn't even bear to make cry, has now been ruined by someone else.

Seeing her old friend again, Lu Youtiao felt complicated, but before she could think of what to say, she saw Jiang Shao walking out of the house with a gloomy face. She immediately panicked, "Jiang Shao!"

In her haste, Lu Youtiao leaped off the couch and fell to the ground.

With a loud "thump," the people outside rushed into the house, saw what was happening inside, and then silently retreated.

Jiang Shao had already helped Lu Youtiao up. Looking at her up close, he realized how weak she was. She was even stumbling as she got out of bed, which made him feel even more distressed.

Lying back on the couch, Lu Youtiao gripped his sleeve tightly, "Don't go."

Jiang Shao pursed his lips, stood beside the bed, staring at her, his tone displeased, "Where can I go?"

Lu Youtiao's eyes reddened.

Jiang Shao, who had been putting on a brave face, was now completely softened. "Okay, okay, Grandma, I won't go, I won't go anywhere."

"I'll be right here watching you!"

He gritted his teeth, wanting to question Lu Youtiao about how she had gotten herself into this state, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Lu Youtiao then let go of her hand.

When he was young, he was tricked and injured his leg. At that time, Jiang Shao didn't say a word, just like he is now with a gloomy face. The next day, he beat the person so badly that they couldn't get out of bed. Because of this, Lord Jiang was impeached in court for failing to educate his son properly and was fined a month's salary. Jiang Shao was also locked up at home for three whole months to reflect on his actions.

If Jiang Shao were to go to Yang Fang at this time, it would definitely lead to someone's death.
I'm a bit of a fan of Gu Xingzhao.

She had truly sensed the murderous intent emanating from Jiang Shao. This child was genuinely intent on killing. If Lu Youtiao hadn't fallen off the bed, she probably would have rushed to the Yang family by now.

The key point is that Lu Youtiao knows Jiang Shao so well.

Oh, Lu Youtiao, you should learn more from your grandfather. At least he has a much better eye for men than you do.

The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and your author has started school.
