Chapter 37: Unexpected Visitor

On a spring afternoon in Taohua Village, sunlight filtered through the leaves onto the quiet village roads, and the air was filled with the delicate fragrance of flowers. Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er packed up their wedding supplies, preparing for the upcoming day. Gu Yichen had completed his final acupuncture detoxification session, completely purging the two toxins in his system. Now, he could use his martial arts and internal energy with ease. Although his memory hadn't yet returned, this didn't dampen his anticipation for the future.

Lu Ling'er tended to the flowers and plants in the yard, her thoughts drifting away from time to time. Her heart was filled with worry for her father and mother, and anticipation for her wedding. She had diligently prepared for this day, hoping that everything would go smoothly.

Gu Yichen was repairing the stables in the open space in the backyard. Ever since they bought the dark maroon pony, Lu Ling'er named it "Xiaohong". This reminded Gu Yichen of Dabai and Dahui, who were casually named by Lu Ling'er, and he couldn't help but smile. Although these names seemed simple and crude, Gu Yichen unexpectedly felt a touch of warmth in his heart. Looking at "Xiaohong" leisurely chewing grass, his heart was full of expectations for the future. Although his movements were a little rusty, he was still serious and meticulous, striving for perfection in every detail. He hoped to use his own efforts to create a warm home for Lu Ling'er.

As the two men were busy with their own affairs, the sound of hurried horse hooves shattered the village's tranquility. Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er were immediately drawn to the sound and turned to look at its source. They saw a middle-aged man in a gorgeous green robe, riding a tall, dusty horse, approaching them. He had an extraordinary bearing, his demeanor betraying a sense of urgency, yet his eyes occasionally flickered with an unconcealable anxiety.

Gu Yichen frowned, secretly on guard. He walked to the gate and stared at the newcomer with a serious expression. Lu Linger was a little surprised, wondering about the identity and purpose of this uninvited guest.

The man in the green robe dismounted and walked a few steps to Lu Ling'er, his eyes filled with anxiety and concern. He bowed slightly and saluted respectfully, "Miss Lu, I serve the governor of the prefectural city. He has sent me here specifically because there have been new developments in the case of your father, Lu Chenting. He hopes to meet with you as soon as possible to discuss specific plans."

Lu Linger's face suddenly changed, a mixture of surprise and anxiety. She hurried forward and asked anxiously, "How is my father? Is there any way to get him out?"

The man in the green robe had a slightly solemn expression, and his words were somewhat unnatural. "Since your father was trapped in the prefectural city, the Lord has sent people to investigate the case. After investigation, it was found that the case involves many people, and your father is a key figure. The Lord is ready to bring the case to court, but the matter is complicated, so you need to go in person to understand the details."

Gu Yichen noticed Lu Ling'er's anxiety, walked to her side, and said firmly: "Ling'er, I will go with you and make sure everything goes well."

Lu Ling'er nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her inner excitement and anxiety. Just as they were about to leave, Gu Yichen suddenly spoke: "Ling'er, this person just mentioned your father, but not your mother. Don't you think it's strange?"

Lu Ling'er was stunned, her heart tightening as she recalled the previous conversation. She realized that things weren't as simple as they seemed. The green-robed man's words were somewhat evasive, and she was so eager to understand her father's condition that she hadn't thought about it carefully. She looked up at Gu Yichen, a hint of unease in her eyes: "Yichen, are you saying there's something fishy going on here?"

Gu Yichen's eyes were deep, and he nodded slowly: "This matter is strange. We must be more careful."

A chill ran through Lu Ling'er's heart, but she quickly suppressed her fear, determined to find out what was going on. The two quickly harnessed the carriage and, with their doubts in their hearts, set off on the road to the capital.

The carriage passed through verdant mountains and rivers, passing through layers of villages, gradually approaching the provincial capital. As the sun set, the crimson glow on the horizon gradually dimmed, and the temperature plummeted. A thin mist filled the city, casting an eerie hue on the bustling metropolis. Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er both had a foreboding premonition, as if they were about to step into an unknown vortex.

The mysterious man in green robes observed them all the way, his eyes concealing some hidden secret. However, as it was getting late, the man in green robes suggested that Lu Ling'er and the others go to the government office to see the prefect early the next morning, and then he took his leave.

Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er found a place called "Fulai Inn" in the capital city and stayed there, each requesting two top-grade rooms. Gu Yichen went to the lobby to ask the waiter to arrange for hot water for the shower and a few side dishes. They hadn't eaten yet, so after arranging everything, they were about to return to their rooms.

At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Sir, please stay."
