Chapter 57: Farewell and Departure

Since the poisoning incident at the clinic, the atmosphere at Jishiditang has become even more tense. Although the source of the poison has not yet been identified, this incident has undoubtedly made Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er more vigilant. They realize that the situation is far more complicated than they initially expected, and there may be a larger conspiracy behind it.

The next morning, Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen decided to temporarily put their current affairs aside and return to Taohua Village to visit their family and discuss their next steps. Before leaving, they carefully arranged the clinic's affairs, assigning Mo Yan and Mo Xian to oversee its daily operations while Xuan Ping and Xuan An continued to strengthen its security.

Although Mo Yan and Mo Xian were secretly worried about Gu Yichen's safety, they knew that Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er had returned to Taohua Village to better plan their future actions. They could only secretly step up their defenses to ensure that Jishitang was no longer threatened, while continuing to hide Gu Yichen's true identity.

In the carriage, Lu Ling'er snuggled up to Gu Yichen, looking out the window at the scenery outside. Although she was tired from the work at the clinic, she felt a little more relaxed when she thought about seeing her family soon.

"Yi Chen, do you think this poisoning incident is related to those forces in the capital city?" Lu Linger asked softly.

Gu Yichen pondered for a moment and responded in a low voice: "It's very likely. Our presence in Jishiditang has attracted some people's attention. This poisoning incident was probably intentionally done by someone in an attempt to disrupt our plans."

Lu Linger nodded, feeling uneasy about the future, but she remained firm and said, "No matter what, we cannot be defeated by these conspiracies. I believe that as long as we remain calm, we will eventually find the truth."

The carriage slowly pulled into Taohua Village, and a familiar scene came into view. Lu Linger felt a sense of relief. The family's pet wolves, Dabai and Dahui, had already sensed their presence and were scurrying towards the carriage. Seeing the two wolves rubbing affectionately against her legs, Lu Linger let out a long-lost smile.

Gu Yichen also got off the carriage. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that they miss you too."

Lu Linger gently stroked Dabai and Dahui's heads, her eyes gentle: "They are my companions, how could I not miss them?"

However, the house was strangely quiet. Her brother, Lu Yiheng, and his twin brothers were nowhere to be found. Lu Linger's heart tightened as she hurried into the house, her eyes quickly drawn to the letters on the table.

She quickly opened one of the letters and saw familiar handwriting. It was written by her eldest brother, Lu Yiheng, and the words showed his concern and worry.

Ling'er, by the time you see this letter, the three of us brothers will have already set out to find Mother. Mother sent a messenger to tell us that we were in danger at the county school and had to leave. We knew you would be worried, so we decided to go find her. You can't stay in Taohua Village either. Lately, many strangers have been secretly spying on our family. Find a safe place to hide for now. If you really run into trouble, you can go to the Zhenwei Escort Agency in Nanyang City and find the head escort, Lei Zhentian. He's an old friend of Dad's and will definitely help you pass the message to us. We can also borrow your little red and the carriage.

Seeing this, Lu Linger felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but also a little anxious. The "stranger" mentioned in the letter made her realize that the situation was much more complicated than she had imagined.

At the end of the letter, Lu Yiheng wrote:

Ling'er, as your brother, I have one last thing to tell you: Don't be fooled by men's sweet words, especially those wedding gifts at home. Be sure to keep them safe and don't let your precious sister be taken away by others! If that "pig" really dares to have feelings for you, we brothers will not let him go!

Upon reading this, Lu Ling'er's face flushed crimson. She stole a glance at Gu Yichen, who stood nearby. His brow furrowed, his eyes hardening. Clearly, the phrase "a pig digging up the cabbage" in the letter had irritated him. Gu Yichen took the letter, glanced at it briefly, and then his expression darkened. Almost without hesitation, he refolded the letter and turned to stuff Lu Ling'er's belongings into his bag. His movements were swift, but a hidden anger was evident.

"Ling'er, we must leave immediately." His voice was emotionless, only calm and resolute. "We will go to Nanyang Prefecture City, and we will discuss everything once we get there."
