Chapter 1347: The Emperor’s Gift
Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up when she saw him and she quickly ran over.
“Brother Shao, you’re back?”
“Yes, I came back in the afternoon.” Shao Qingyuan smiled at her, then looked up and nodded at Nie Cong. “Long time no see, Young Master Nie.”
“Long time no see. I didn’t expect the person who was almost arrested and sent to the government office to become Sister Gu’s husband.” Nie Cong still remembered the first time he met him. Shao Qingyuan had been reported as a thief and was captured by two constables to the government office.
At that time, it should have been the first time Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong met. They were quite fated.
At the mention of his dark history, Shao Qingyuan’s face stiffened for a moment.
However, he quickly returned to normal. He nodded at Nie Cong. “Thank you for your help back then, Young Master Nie.”
“Haha, sure, sure.” Nie Cong wanted to invite Shao Qingyuan in, but he was rejected. “We still have something to do. We’ll visit another day.”
Nie Cong did not force them and watched them leave.
Shao Wen led the carriage and stood not far away. The two of them chatted as they walked towards the carriage.
“Brother Shao, how did you know that I was in the Nie Residence?”
“Shao Wen said that you went to look at the shop, but I didn’t see you when I went to the shop. I asked around and heard that an old woman brought people over to rent out the shop. I guessed that you might want to ask Nie Cong about the situation, so I came over.” Shao Qingyuan spoke to Gu Yundong in a completely different tone than he spoke to Nie Cong.
“Brother Shao, you’re getting smarter and smarter.”
“You taught me well.”
“Have you seen Imperial Physician Song? I happen to have something I need his help with.”
“I saw him. I’ll bring you there another day.”
“Okay.”
Nie Cong stood at the entrance and watched as their figures got further and further away. He suddenly felt a heavy blow in his heart.
This was the first time he had seen a couple interact like this.
Perhaps Gu Yundong was right to be honest.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and strode towards the Anhe Garden.
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan also got into the carriage. Tong Shuitao sat on the shaft outside.
As soon as the carriage moved, Gu Yundong told Shao Qingyuan everything that had happened in the past two days.
Shao Qingyuan frowned. “Nie Cong’s wife is actually the second daughter of the Yan family?”
“Yeah, I was also shocked when I saw it previously.”
“Then how do you plan to obtain Bai Muzi?”
Gu Yundong chuckled. “That’s why I need Imperial Physician Song’s help.”
Shao Qingyuan couldn’t help but pinch her nose. “He will definitely help.” Even if he didn’t help, Shao Qingyuan would ‘persuade’ him until he changed his mind.
Gu Yundong asked about his visit to the emperor.
Actually, there was nothing special. It was just a report on the vaccination. The emperor was busy every day and didn’t have the time to chat with Shao Qingyuan.
Moreover, Qin Wenzheng had returned to the capital a few days earlier than them. He had already said what he needed to say.
However, before Shao Qingyuan left, the emperor mentioned Gu Yundong and said that he wanted to see her when he had the chance.
“By the way, the emperor also gave you a gift.”
“A gift?”
“Yes, for our wedding.”
Gu Yundong was instantly interested. “Where is it?”
“At home, of course.” Shao Qingyuan saw her looking around and laughed. He couldn’t bring it with him.
Gu Yundong was a little disappointed. Fortunately, the carriage soon arrived at Hetai Alley.
After alighting from the carriage, Gu Yundong could not wait to enter the house to see the gift from the emperor.
