Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 549 Aren't they... too intimate?

"Hehe-----Brother Mo, you're too polite. Don't worry, I'll have Xiao Liu come over to play with me whenever she's free. I promise she won't be bored."

Gu Qingyue nodded, looking quite carefree.

Mo Shaoshang's smile became even more genuine. He cupped his hands in greeting to the two of them and said, "Farewell."

He turned around and gestured for Liu Yan to give a box to Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue held it in her hand, somewhat puzzled, and stared at Liu Yan and Mo Shaoshang, asking with her eyes.

"This is a coming-of-age gift for you."

Also, on Qinghong Street, the longest main street in Lizhou, there is a Yunzhai, which used to be a bookstore with a large area. The owner was preparing to return to his hometown to retire, so it was a good place to open a clinic.

When you have time, go and see if it's suitable. As for the procedures and things to note when opening a clinic, I've already explained them to Manager Liu. You can go find him.

Gu Qingyue was startled for a moment, then immediately cheered, "Thank you so much, Brother Mo! Thank you for your trouble!"

Mo Shaoshang smiled and said, "You don't need to be so polite with me. We're friends, aren't we?" As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Yun Chu next to Gu Qing Yue, whose expression remained calm and composed.

He lowered his head slightly, a smile creeping onto his face.

Gu Qingyue smiled and nodded at him.

Mo Shaoshang is a person who sees things through to the end, and is a friend worth making.

Seeing Mo Shaoshang leave in a hurry, Gu Qingyue wondered if he had some trouble or difficult matter. If possible, she would be willing to help.

But it's not the right time to ask now, let's ask later.

Gu Qingyue was unaware that the opportunity to ask again later would be lost for a long time; that's another story.

"I'll see Brother Mo off," Gu Qingyue said as she saw him turn and leave, clearly in a hurry.

“Let’s go together,” Mu Yun Chu immediately took Gu Qing Yue’s hand and followed Mo Shao Shang out of the courtyard.

Until they watched Mo Shaoshang and Liu Yan ride away on horseback, turning the corner and disappearing from sight.

Gu Qingyue finally suppressed her smile. "Tell me, what's the matter that Brother Mo is in such a hurry to leave?"

He left without even saying goodbye to the few people he knew well.

Very unusual!

Mu Yun Chu looked at the empty street corner, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she smiled, "A Yue, don't worry so much. Today is your special day, you should be happy."

Gu Qingyue nodded, "That's true."

Upon returning to the courtyard, the first thing she did was to instruct Liu Yongqing about the shop on Hong Street, emphasizing that this needed to be done quickly.

Doctor Zhang and Chaihu went into the mountains to collect herbs. Liu Yong was asked to send them the message as soon as possible, so that they could come back and prepare to open a clinic.

When the two returned to the main courtyard, it was bustling with activity.

Ten Mile Pavilion outside Lizhou City.

"Master," a man in blue clothing saw Mo Shaoshang and his companion and immediately led his horse over to pay his respects.

"Lu Xu, has everyone arrived?" Mo Shaoshang's voice was cold and indifferent.

"Reporting to Master, everyone is fully prepared and has been waiting for a long time," said the man named Lu Xu, bowing.

Mo Shaoshang nodded.

He pulled on the reins and looked back at the tall city gate of Lizhou. He took a deep breath, and Gu Qingyue's image flashed through his mind. He clenched his fist and resolutely turned away.

The next instant, the black steed galloped off like an arrow toward the northwest road, and Liu Yan and Lu Xu immediately spurred their horses to follow.

At the Gu residence, it was lunchtime.

Today is Gu Qingyue's coming-of-age ceremony, and naturally it is also Gu Yuanen's birthday, since the two were born less than an hour apart.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gu Changling stood up and offered the first toast to everyone.

If you didn't know him, you would never guess that he had no memory except for his wife and children.

"Everyone, today is my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, a very important day for us and for our children..."

Looking at Gu Changling's handsome and refined figure, Gu Qingyue felt incredibly happy.

She lived up to Qin's expectations and finally brought her father back to Qin's side. She thought that if the original owner of this body were alive, she would be very happy!

"What is A-Yue laughing at?" Mu Yun Chu sat down next to her, staring at Gu Qing Yue's expression, which was serious for a moment and then turned into a bright smile, and was extremely curious.

Gu Qingyue smiled slyly, lowered her voice, and whispered in Mu Yun Chu's ear.

Seeing the two so intimate, everyone present smiled knowingly.

Changling frowned and said to Qin, "Aren't the two of them... a little too intimate?"

Men and women should not touch each other in public; doing so would inevitably affect a daughter's reputation.

Qin, standing beside her, smiled and said, "Don't worry, His Highness Prince Li treats Yue'er very well. Besides, Father has already agreed to their marriage as soon as possible. Let Yue'er be happy."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changling raised an eyebrow and looked at Madam Qin. He felt that Madam Qin had changed a lot in the past sixteen years. She used to be gentle and understanding, but now she was more open-minded and kind. Thinking of this, his eyes softened even more.

"Qingqing, tell me again what we were like before?"

Sitting on the other side, Zhang Xubai looked at Rong Qingqing, eager to know more about their past.

"You used to be so arrogant, always saying my drawings weren't good..."

Gu Qingyue looked at everyone in the flower hall, whispering, drinking, and chatting happily and unrestrained, and she felt content.

What she wants is a group of friends and family who are truly sincere to each other.

Mu Yun Chu squeezed her small hand, "By the way, about the missing young adults you mentioned, I sent people to investigate, and we've made some progress."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue straightened her expression and asked, "Is someone trying to abduct someone?"

After a pause, Gu Qingyue added, "Could it be Master Pan?"

Last time, that scumbag escaped at the Heavenly Sacrifice. Mu Yun Chu and Gu Qing Yue both sent people to investigate, but there's still no news.

"It's hard to say. The news that came back this morning suggests that those young men all went to the same area to collect herbs."

Mu Yun Chu lowered her voice. This was a message that Dark Wolf had just sent back this morning. They had gone to the place where the young man had gone missing to investigate.

Gu Qingyue pursed her lips. She had a bold guess in her mind, but she hadn't found any useful information yet, so it was too early to say.

But it wouldn't hurt to discuss it with Mu Yun Chu.

"When I was in Nanchong Pass, Mo Xiaoliu and I went to the Liuliu Teahouse to listen to storytelling. They were telling a very interesting story called 'The Lu Family's Grudges and Feuds'..."

After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, Mu Yun Chu clenched her fist.

He felt that Gu Qingyue's guess was probably pretty accurate. If the person entrenched near Lizhou was Prince An, then the person who abducted young men... could it also be him?

What is he doing?

First, they spread the story of Prince Lu An, who was framed and wronged by the emperor, then they kidnapped people to use for their own purposes...

The ambition is grand!

Mu Yun Chu suddenly felt a chill creep up her back.

It must be said that Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu's insight is truly unmatched!
