Chapter 200 Obituary notice

　　On the day of the earthquake, Ranmo didn't follow Gu Xiran back to the residence. As for whether he (R) had come back to find him after the earthquake, Gu Xiran didn’t know. At this moment, he (GXR) was first stunned when he (GXR) suddenly saw him (R), then happy, and lastly surprised when he (GXR) saw his (R) plain white robe.

　　If he remembered correctly, it was enough for servants to wear a mourning band around their waist when they mourned for Gu Xitian. It hadn't reached to the point of dressing completely in white. Moreover, Ranmo's expression was very anxious at this moment. It clearly said that something had happened.

　　While Gu Xiran was in deep thoughts, Ranmo had arrived before him and suddenly knelt to the ground. He said, "Second young master!"

　　Gu Xiran pulled him up. "What happened?"

　　However, who would've thought that Ranmo began to cry, "This little one came looking for second young master to announce a demise. Master…master had pa.s.sed away a few days ago…."

　　Gu Da had pa.s.sed away!

　　After that was said, Shu Huan and Gu Xiran were taken aback at the same time.

　　After calming down a bit, Gu Xiran pulled him (R) up and asked, "Get up to talk. What happened exactly?"

　　Ranmo stood up and cried, "Master was already ill and was then caught up with the disaster in the city. He escaped with great difficulty but on the way, he was drenched in the rain and caught a cold. As soon as he arrived in Suhe city, he was bedridden. It was useless even after seeing a few doctors. After two days, he…died…."

　　Gu Xiran was silent and didn't speak for a moment.

　　Ranmo wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "Old madam was too sad and became ill too…The doctor said that even if her life is saved, in the future…in the future, she can only be paralyzed in the bed and can't stand up or move again…."

　　Shu Huan became speechless too for a moment after he (R) told one after another bad news. Originally, she felt disgust for Gu Da and old madam, as well as that Gu household that was rotten to the bones already. But she had separated from them already. Besides, it was no real hatred that she felt for them. When she looked back, the feeling of disgust had lessened.

　　People died like lights that were put out. Those grudges and hatred would disperse by shaking it in the wind, and only a long sigh was left.

　　Gu Xiran then asked, "How did you find here?"

　　"Young master Zhang came to Suhe. He visited second master's (GD’s illegitimate brother) house and reported to old madam, saying that second young master and…." As Ranmo spoke till here, he looked at Shu Huan, forcibly smiled and continued, "Saying that you and second young mistress are here, so old madam sent me here to announce master's pa.s.sing, and said that you have to go back to take care of master's funeral."

　　Shu Huan couldn't help but reach out and grabbed Gu Xiran's sleeve.

　　Although, she had let bygones be bygones, but to let her go back to the low-spirited Gu household, she was very unwilling. Moreover, old madam only mentioned she was waiting for Gu Xiran to go back to take care of the funeral. She didn’t mention a word about her (SH). That second young mistress, it wasn’t easy for Ranmo to call her that and he only called once.
