Chapter 217 Why care about who wants to cross the single-log bridge?

　　Rushed the whole journey without resting day and night.

　　Because around Jingtian City suffered a disaster, many victims fled to another city. Therefore, the checkpoints of the cities and on the roads were very strict. Fortunately, Gu Xiran had the seal of the prefectural magistrate on hand which made their journey unimpeded and without obstruction.

　　They entered Suhe City and got off in front of Gu residence.

　　Gu Xihe didn't say anything, lifted his robe and rushed inside. When he ran into one of the guards, he grabbed him and asked, "How is it? How is old madam?"

　　That guard was dizzy after being b.u.mped by him and stuttered, "Old madam…I…I'm not sure…"

　　He was a guard of the outer courtyard. Naturally, he didn't know much about the inner yard. However, this sentence already explained the problem. Gu Xiran immediately shouted at Gu Xihe, "What are you panicking about? He isn't sure means that nothing had happened. Walk well."

　　Now, Gu Xihe saw this second big brother as his pillar. After being shouted at, he obeyed obediently. Because they didn't know how old madam doing, it was naturally more important to take care of the living ones first. Therefore, no one remembered to go to Gu Da's mourning hall to go cry and burn an incense. The group led by Ranmo went first to old madam's place. However, it wasn't very convenient that Du Qiu followed. Halfway, he turned and went to concubine Yun's.

　　They had just arrived at old madam's yard when some sharp-eyed maid went in to report. Lin s.h.i.+ came out panicked. She grabbed Gu Xihe, pulled him to her and checked at from head to toe. After seeing that he was fine, she scolded, "You, this child, have you eaten a leopard's guts? Seeing that no one was paying attention, you sneaked out with the servant by yourself. If some unexpected misfortune had happened…"

　　When she wanted to scold Ranmo, she saw that Gu Xiran stood there with his arms crossed and looked at her indifferently. Her heart immediately quickened. She forced out a smile and greeted him, "Xiran, you are back."

　　Gu Xiran nodded slightly, "Madam is safe and sound."

　　When Lin s.h.i.+ turned, she saw Shu Huan standing next to him. After the instant surprise, she gave a real laugh. It was just that inside the laughter, there was the bad intention of wanting to look at a joke. She said, "Since you came back, then go inside quickly to have a look at old madam. These past two days, her state of mind was still clear-headed."

　　She didn't have to say that. Gu Xihe had already broke free from her and rushed inside. Gu Xiran went in hand in hand with Shu Huan.

　　The one who raised the curtain was maid Fuling. She was also surprised when she saw Shu Huan. Fearing that old madam will get angry when she sees her, she (F) quickly stopped her (SH), "Miss Shu, please stop. Old madam presumably ahs important matters to tell second young master. What about this maid lead you to the hall and have tea?"

　　Shu Huan didn't answer when Gu Xiran briefly swept a glance over and said, "You should be taught the rules. There is no miss Shu here. There is only second young mistress."
