Xue Chu blocked her from leaving. Su Yunjin knew that Xue Chu would obey Gu Ya’s words without question. Since he agreed to Gu Ya, Xue Chu would definitely not let her leave easily.
Right now, Su Yunjin could only explain her reason for going out to Xue Chu, hoping he would allow her to leave. “Brother Xue, listen to me. I have something very important to do outside. This matter might be related to the poisoning attempt on Little Tiangua that day. I must go out immediately.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Chu also understood the importance of the situation. On one hand, there was the lady’s safety, and on the other, the matter she spoke of was indeed serious. For a moment, Xue Chu hesitated.
Su Yunjin was afraid that if she delayed any longer, the shopkeeper and staff at the pharmacy might escape. Not daring to delay further, Su Yunjin suggested, “Brother Xue, how about this? If you’re worried about my safety, why not come with me? How about it?”
“This…” Xue Chu still hesitated as he stared at Su Yunjin. Seeing Xue Chu’s concern, Su Yunjin promised, “Brother Xue, if you come out with me, if my husband blames anyone, I will take full responsibility and ensure he doesn’t blame you.”
Gu Ya had done Xue Chu a favor, and Xue Chu was blocking Su Yunjin mainly for her safety, not out of fear of Gu Ya’s reproach. Hearing Su Yunjin’s words, Xue Chu shook his head repeatedly, “No, no, no, madam, you misunderstand. I’m not afraid of the young master’s reproach. I’m concerned about your safety. The young master entrusted you to me because he trusts me. If I let you be taken away while under my care, wouldn’t I let the young master down?”
The people of King Chu had only come yesterday, so they probably wouldn’t come again today. Besides, she was going to the town’s pharmacy to look for evidence and might not encounter King Chu’s people.
“Brother Xue, I trust your martial arts skills. If you come with me and bring them along, I believe there won’t be any problems.” Su Yunjin pointed to the other five men standing behind Xue Chu, deciding to take along the five people Gu Ya had left by her side for personal protection. Taking them out wouldn’t attract too much attention, nor would it give King Chu’s people any opportunity.
Xue Chu contemplated for a while and finally nodded at Su Yunjin, “Madam, as you wish.” Xue Chu agreed to go out with Su Yunjin.
Su Yunjin was delighted and, considering Little Tiangua and Little Yuanbao, she went to give special instructions to Aunt Bao and others before leaving, ensuring they would take good care of the two children. Hearing Su Yunjin was going out, Aunt Bao and Aunt Liang were not in favor of it, “Madam, the young master told you not to leave the Gu Family these days. Wouldn’t it be dangerous for you to go out now?” Aunt Bao and the others were genuinely concerned for Su Yunjin.
Afraid that something might happen to Su Yunjin if she went out.
Su Yunjin smiled and said, “Aunties, don’t worry! With Brother Xue and the others protecting me closely, nothing will happen to me.” As they left the Gu Family, Su Yunjin recalled the pharmacy her mother-in-law, Mrs. An, had mentioned, and directly led Xue Chu and the others towards it. Unbeknownst to Su Yunjin, as she left with Xue Chu and the others, her mother-in-law Mrs. An, along with the fifth sister-in-law Mrs. Chu, brought Gu Jianghai and others to her house.
Originally, Mrs. Chu wanted to come to Su Yunjin’s place yesterday to ask if they had found out who poisoned Little Tiangua. However, it was too late to be stopped by Gu Jianghai. Early today, Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai planned to visit Su Yunjin’s place and coincidentally met Mrs. An and Gu Chengxiang, who were also headed there, so they all went together.
