Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

"No, no, this box is quite nice."

Pshaw, what she meant was, isn't this box pretty?

No, she meant that the box was very valuable.

However, judging from Lu Qingyun's expression, her eyes were full of disgust.

"Grandma, don't force yourself."

Lu Qingyun glanced at the box in Old Madam Gu's hand.

"No, how could I force myself? I love the things Qingqing gave me."

Madam Gu hugged the box tighter, afraid that Lu Qingyun would really take it and throw it away.

"Okay, Grandma, you should get some rest. I'll go back to my room now."

As Lu Qingyun spoke, she walked out, closing the door behind her.

She could have picked it up tomorrow, but fearing Gu Jinming might notice something, she delivered it while he was washing up in the evening.

-

The next morning.

Old Madam Gu and An Qiong stuffed a lot of things into their car. Even though the manor had plenty of things, they didn't stop stuffing them.

Neither Lu Qingyun nor Lu Qingjun objected, after all, it was an act of care and concern from their elders.

After putting the things away, Old Madam Gu pulled Gu Jinming aside and gave him some instructions, adding one more thing.

"Qingqing probably has a lot of secrets, but if she doesn't tell you, don't ask too many questions. Just take good care of her and don't bully her, understand?"

Gu Jinming nodded.

Madam Gu continued, "Yesterday, Qingqing gave me a box of incense. If I'm not mistaken, the box should be made of Indian sandalwood."

Indian sandalwood?

This is a rare find.

However, if this person is Lu Qingyun, Gu Jinming feels that it is really not strange for her to have this thing.

"It must have been a gift from Qingqing's friend."

Although Madam Gu was suspicious of Lu Qingyun's connections, she did not ask too many questions.

"Alright, it's good that you know what I mean. It's getting late. Once you get to the manor with Qingqing, get some rest. Just remember to come visit this old woman at the old house when you have time."

Since Grandpa Gu passed away early, the younger generation often visited his home, hoping to prevent Grandma Gu from being heartbroken by missing him every day.

Gu Jinming nodded, "It definitely will."

Lu Qingyun had a very good impression of Old Madam Gu. Even if they didn't say anything, Lu Qingyun would come to see Old Madam Gu on her own.

When Gu Jinming returned to the car, Lu Qingyun was holding a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, and was writing and drawing on the paper with her head down. She didn't even notice when Gu Jinming got in.

It wasn't until the car started moving that she realized the paper was carelessly turned face down, making it difficult for Gu Jinming to see the contents clearly.

I could only vaguely make out a few characters, something like sheet music.

He didn't understand these things, so naturally he didn't know what Lu Qingyun had written.

"What are you writing?"

He asked it casually.

Lu Qingyun rubbed her wrist; "Some sheet music."

She openly admitted what she had written, without hiding anything.

Gu Jinming wasn't interested in the sheet music, but upon hearing this, he simply said "oh" and leaned closer to her: "I have a question for you."

"ask."

She lifted her eyelids slightly and said calmly.

Do you know about the Ouyang family?

Lu Qingyun turned the paper over and looked at it, but still wasn't satisfied, so she casually crumpled it into a ball and threw it away.

“I remember you asked this question before.”

Gu Jinming licked his lips. "Really? Maybe I slept too long and my memory isn't what it used to be."

Lu Qingyun: ...

That's a really weak reason.

"Then let me change the question."

After Gu Jinming finished speaking, he raised the barrier.

He didn't lower his voice intentionally, "Do you know about the Ouyang family's silver needles?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun remained expressionless. She placed her hand on the back of her neck and slowly said, "Never heard of it."

"Really? I think Qingqing's set of silver needles looks somewhat similar to the Ouyang family's."

That's a lie.

The Ouyang family's silver needles are considered a family treasure, and outsiders have never seen them before.

He said this entirely to try and get information out of Lu Qingyun.

However, Lu Qingyun was like a fox, completely unmoved.

"I don't know, my brother brought this to me from out of town."

At that moment, Qu Mo, who was in M ​​Continent, sneezed violently.

Ok?

Qingqing has a brother?

Gu Jinming raised an eyebrow, noticing that Lu Qingyun had a surprisingly large number of relatives.

The two didn't dwell on the topic for long and soon arrived at the manor.

The interior furnishings look better than before, and quite a few more items have been added.

What surprised Lu Qingyun the most was the room filled with medical equipment and medicine-making equipment.

There was a large cabinet inside. Lu Qingyun went over and took a look, and found that it was filled with medicinal herbs.

Her identity as Bai Qing has been exposed, so there's no need to hide it anymore.

Lu Qingyun wondered whether she should move the things she kept at Aunt Huang's house over there, so she wouldn't have to go there every time.

Gu Jinming wheeled himself closer and saw Lu Qingyun lost in thought. He bent his finger and gently tapped on the door frame.

"You don't need to move Aunt Huang's things over. We can go there again when she has acupuncture treatment, and we can visit her then."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun stared at him for a few seconds.

It's strange, but Gu Jinming always seems to be able to see what's troubling other people.

She nodded and looked at a few rooms before Lu Qingyun carried her black backpack into the study.

There are two studies in the manor, one for each of them, which makes it more convenient for them to handle matters.

Upon entering the room, Lu Qingyun walked to the desk, tossed her bag onto it, pulled over a chair, and sat down.

She took her phone out of her pocket.

Several more messages had been sent to her earlier, but she only glanced at them and didn't read them carefully.

After reading the messages for a while, Lu Qingyun replied to a few, and finally opened the message that had been sent the most, from Kota.

He rarely contacts me, but when he does, it's always to ask about the new song.

KT: [Master, this month is almost over, and I'll be coming to Beijing next week. Have you made any progress on your new song?]

KT: [By the way, since the pro player is also in Beijing, should we meet up?]

KT: [After I finish filming the music video, I'll also be recording a promotional video and such. I'll be staying in Beijing for about a week.]

KT: [Master, are you there?]

KT: [Great God? 】

Meeting in person?

Lu Qingyun exited the chat page and first glanced at the calendar, finding that it was indeed the end of the month. When Kota arrived, it would be the beginning of the next month, so the timing was alright.

Since that's the case, meeting up in person isn't out of the question.

Lu Qingyun: [I'll send you the new song in a couple of days, once it's finished.]

Lu Qingyun: [We'll schedule a time for the face-to-face meeting.]

Kota replied to the message very quickly, clearly waiting for a reply while holding her phone.

KT: [Ahhhhh! Okay! I'm waiting for your new song, Master!]

KT: [If we meet up in person, just message me whenever you're free. I'm available anytime.]
