Chapter 474: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape
"Who are you?" Gu Li fell to the ground and tried hard to see the man's face clearly.
There is a shadow cast on the window, this person is definitely not a ghost!
When the man moved, the armor on his body rattled.
He Xingqing, who heard Gu Li's cry, rushed out immediately, "Little Li'er!"
Of course He Xingqing also saw the tall figure, but he didn't have time to look at it any more. He helped Gu Li up, and when he looked up again, Tao Chunhua had already pounced over and hugged the man.
She burst into tears: "Ayun, my son, you are finally back!"
Well, that bastard really is back?
He was wearing armor, and a long-horned helmet covered half of his face, leaving only the center of his face exposed. The sunlight from above shone on the cold armor, and cast a shadow on the upper half of his face.
She really didn't recognize it at first!
She has to be my biological mother.
He Yunwang supported his mother who was about to faint from crying. In his peripheral vision, the bad girl who was scared by him was quietly backing away.
He Yunwang had just returned from the city on horseback. As soon as he walked around the screen wall, he saw Xiao Li'er who was about to step into the hanging flower gate.
But she seemed to be thinking about something at the time and didn't notice him. But the maid who was following behind with something in her arms saw him.
He waved his hand to let the maid leave, and he followed quietly. His eyes fell on her back, looking at her thin shoulders and slender neck, which he could hold with one hand.
The bad girl who always enjoyed going against him had grown a lot taller and the outline of a girl was already visible.
Seeing her sticking to the east wing and keeping her head out to pay attention to what was going on in the east room of the main courtyard, He Yunwang knew what bad idea this bad girl was up to again.
He deliberately increased his pace, but she waved away in disgust without even turning her head. He had no choice but to slow down his pace again to see what she was going to do.
-------
Gu Li rubbed her coccyx which was hurt from the fall and lay on the bed in a daze.
Did He Yunwang take some magic medicine outside? In just two years, not only has he grown a lot taller, but even his once thin shoulders and back have become thick and strong.
And there was a new scar on his brow bone, which ran diagonally from his forehead to the end of his eye, almost removing his eyeball.
I can’t describe how I feel, but I feel heavy in my heart.
Gu Li sighed, turned over, and continued to stare at the hibiscus petals on the ceiling in a daze.
Zhiqiu opened the door and came in from outside. "Miss, everyone is in the front hall. We are about to have dinner. Don't you want to go over?"
"I'm sleepy!" Gu Li said in a low voice, "Weren't you following me when we went to the main courtyard? Why did you suddenly disappear?"
"I was following the young lady, but just as we entered the hanging flower gate, Young Master Yun came around from the screen wall. He signaled me not to make any noise and asked me to retreat outside. I thought Young Master Yun wanted to give the young lady a surprise!"
What a surprise! It’s a shock!
She even fell and hit her tailbone!
Zhiqiu took two steps forward, lifted the half-fallen curtain, hooked it, half-bent over and approached, "Miss, I just specially asked about Mr. He in the front yard. Do you want to listen?"
Gu Li rolled her eyes and looked at Zhiqiu.
Zhiqiu understood, "The Second Master seems to dislike the concubine that Madam found for him. He didn't even let her get close to him last night."
Zhiqiu came closer and closer, lowering her voice, "I heard that Xiaolian wanted to become Master He's maid, so she sneaked into his bed while he was asleep. Then she was kicked out by him and made to kneel outside the room all night."
"Early this morning, Mr. He took Xiaolian to the shop in front and assigned her a job. He told her to work in the shop with the servants and get paid."
Zhiqiu changed the subject and said, "Miss, how do you feel about this excitement? Are you feeling better now?"
Gu Li: ------
Gu Li originally wanted to stay in the house, but Gu Mancang sent someone to call her to the front yard for the reunion dinner, so she had to get up and start working.
When he stepped into the main courtyard again, he saw him at the door of the east wing, surrounded by his family.
He took off his armor and was left wearing only his military robe.
"The old clothes at home are too small. I will take two new clothes from your uncle and alter them tonight so you can wear them tomorrow!" Tao Chunhua pulled her son's arm and touched the scar between He Yunwang's eyebrows, saying "God bless you."
"You've lost weight. Now that you're back, eat more. I'll ask the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes in the evening!" Gu Mancang also looked at He Yunwang with joy.
He Xingqing, "I took the soldiers you brought back to Uncle Hua's house next door. I asked Uncle Hua to treat them well and let them squeeze in with Chang'an and the others at night."
He had become much darker and stood in the yard with his back straight. The houses seemed shorter against his backdrop.
There were so many people at home who cared about him, so he didn't need her, and their relationship had never been very good. Gu Li only took a quick look and walked straight into the main room.
When Gu Li passed by them, He Yunwang spoke up, "Mom, uncle, I rode all the way back and haven't eaten all day. I'm hungry!"
The steady voice, tempered by the frontier war, had a rustling and harsh sound. Gu Li resisted the urge to touch her ears.
Hearing that the child was hungry, Tao Chunhua didn't care about anything else. She pulled He Yunwang to the main room and said, "Look, mother, why am I always talking to you? The food will be ready soon!"
A group of people passed Gu Li and entered the main room first.
When Gu Li slowly stepped into the main room, everyone inside was already seated.
Gu Mancang sat at the main seat at the square table, with Tao Chunhua and He Xingqing sitting on his left and right. The seat originally belonging to Gu Li was taken by He Yunwang. She was like a guest, and the nanny had to bring a stool to add an extra seat between Tao Chunhua and Gu Mancang.
The dishes were served in the kitchen one after another, and Tao Chunhua pulled He Yunwang aside and kept asking him about his situation over the past two years.
He Yunwang's answer was simple, "I participated in a secret operation."
In short, it cannot be described.
His sharp eyes would occasionally move from Tao Chunhua to Gu Li on the other side without leaving a trace. The dark eyes seemed to turn into a physical touch, and a slightly oppressive breath rushed towards her, surrounding her.
Suddenly, he said, "Xiao Li'er, you seem to have grown up!"
Gu Li didn't look at him, but his gaze was staring at her, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her scalp.
Gu Mancang nodded at Gu Li with a smile, "Xiao Li'er, A Yun is talking to you."
Gu Li remained unmoved.
The lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Gu Li, who was never afraid of embarrassment, now felt an uncomfortable feeling as if her scalp was tightening.
"Uncle, it's okay. Maybe I just scared Xiao Li'er and she's mad at me! Xiao Li'er, don't be angry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have scared you."
He was clearly trying to ease the atmosphere, but he raised his hand and touched the scar between his eyebrows, saying in annoyance, "I didn't mean to scare Xiao Li'er."
