Chapter 1708: Chapter 1708 Peace of Mind

Gu Ya stopped in his tracks.

As he turned around, Xue Chu and Hong Wu both came running up, “Brother Gu, we must hurry to help.”

“No need, you two should remain outside the door. As for my wife, I will search for her myself.” Someone still needed to guard outside, and both Hong Wu and Xue Chu were highly skilled and agile. If they left, wouldn’t that give the assassins an opportunity?

Aunt Bao had been waiting in the courtyard. Upon hearing the lady was missing, she immediately ran over, “Young master, let me help you look for your wife.”

Gu Ya looked at Aunt Bao, who also had a concerned expression, and this time he didn’t refuse.

“Aunt, then I’m troubled you.” Gu Ya said politely, and Aunt Bao waved her hand repeatedly, “Young master, you’re too serious. If the lady is missing, it’s only right that I help look for her.”

Hong Wu and Xue Chu exchanged a glance. The young master didn’t want their help also for safety reasons. Indeed, time was of the essence, and they must guard the door.

After Gu Ya refused, Xue Chu and Hong Wu didn’t insist either, “Young master, then Hong brother and I will continue guarding at the entrance.”

Gu Ya nodded, “Go ahead!”

Xue Chu and Hong Wu returned, while Gu Ya dared not delay, immediately taking Aunt Bao to search.

Gu Ya first searched both the front and back yards, and not seeing his young wife, he began to check each house one by one in sequence.

He searched every room, including the kitchen and wood storage, but still didn’t see his young wife.

The young wife wasn’t home.

Where could she have gone so late at night?

Gu Ya stood still, overwhelmed by an unprecedented fear.

He must go out and find her.

“Aunt Bao, I’m going out to look for my wife now, please help me take good care of the two young masters at home.” Gu Ya instructed Aunt Bao; if he didn’t find his young wife tonight, he would continue searching in the daytime. By then, neither he nor his young wife would be home, so the two children would temporarily need Aunt Bao and the others to look after them. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

Aunt Bao seemed to realize something and hurriedly said, “Young master, there’s one place we haven’t searched yet!”

Gu Ya immediately realized it too. As the saying goes, those who care are chaotic, he hadn’t thought of it earlier.

Out of concern for waking the two sleeping children, Gu Ya had instinctively skipped the room where the two children were sleeping during his search.

Now, reminded by Aunt Bao, Gu Ya promptly intended to go check the children’s sleeping room.

“Aunt Bao, come with me.” The children’s sleeping room was where the wet nurse resided. Little Yuanbao and Little Tiangua were still young, so they were arranged to sleep with the wet nurse at night for the convenience of feeding and care.

The two children sometimes needed feeding two or three times a night.

Gu Ya hadn’t checked the children’s room for his young wife earlier, not only to avoid waking the children but also because the room was where the wet nurse lived.

There was only one bed inside, where the wet nurse slept. Going there in the middle of the night was inappropriate for a man. However, to find his young wife, Gu Ya could no longer concern himself with such things.

Finding someone was urgent.

Aunt Bao followed behind Gu Ya, “Young master, let me knock for you.”

Before Aunt Bao could step forward, Gu Ya had already pushed the door open halfway with his hand.

The sound of the door opening was particularly noticeable at night, and the wet nurse was a light sleeper.

She woke up immediately.

“Young master, Aunt Bao, why are you here?” the wet nurse said in surprise, then hurriedly glanced at her clothes in fright. Fortunately, she had gone to bed fully dressed tonight, so her clothes were neatly on her, and there was no problem.

As soon as Gu Ya entered, his eyes were drawn to the scene on the bed. He stared there, motionless, like a statue standing still.
