When Bai Yu'an left early the next morning, he rarely heard the sound of reading in the courtyard.
There was no peace last night either.
Chang Jing woke up in the middle of the night and complained that he was hungry. His cousin was sleeping deeply, but when he heard Chang Jing's cry, he cursed and went back to sleep.
Then there was the sound of A Tao coming out to hug Chang Jing and coaxing him.
Naturally, Bai Yu'an could hear the noise. Changjing went to bed without eating at night. It was normal to wake up hungry. The crying sound was so loud that Bai Yu'an couldn't sleep.
Fortunately, A Tao later handed Chang Jing a few pieces of chestnut cake taken from Wei Ruyi, and then he stopped.
The rainwater fell along the eaves, and dropped on the puddles on the ground, causing endless splashes.
Bai Yu'an went to get the umbrella alone and told A Tao not to give it away.
Last night, A Tao hugged Chang Jing and slept with her for half the night. She must have not slept well. It was okay for her to go on duty alone.
It was raining and the sky was dark. It was still dark at the moment. A Tao was a little worried. After walking a few steps, he was pushed back by Bai Yu'an, so she had to give up.
Bai Yu'an was sitting alone in the carriage, and for some reason she felt a little flustered today.
The sound of raindrops hitting the carriage was endless, and each beat seemed to tap on the heartstrings.
Spring was only three or four days away. Bai Yu'an let out a breath, lifted the curtain and looked at the rain outside.
Bai Yu'an was restless that day. Before he got off duty, he spoke to Mr. Yang and left early.
When A Tao came out of the palace gate, Bai Yu'an walked back along the way.
It doesn't matter if you walk a little bit, it will make your heart quiet.
After walking for only half a moment under the umbrella, A Tao's voice came from not far ahead: "Young Master!"
Bai Yu'an quickly looked forward and saw A Tao sitting on the carriage, opening the curtain and shouting to him.
Bai Yu'an quickly walked over with his robe in hand. The carriage stopped in front of him. Bai Yu'an stood in front of the carriage and asked, "Why are you here so early today?"
There was a look of anxiety on A Tao's face. As soon as Bai Yu'an finished speaking, he quickly said: "Brother Wang is here and said that Gu Yiyi was taken away."
"This servant was thinking of going to the palace gate quickly and asking someone to send a message to the young master. Unexpectedly, the young master came out early."
Bai Yu'an's expression changed, he quickly closed his umbrella and got into the carriage, asking the driver to turn back quickly.
On the carriage, Bai Yu'an asked Chuntao, "Is Wang Chunping here?"
A Tao nodded: "Brother Wang said that he saw with his own eyes a few people who were very skilled in martial arts and brought Gu Yiyi out. He said that those people were very skilled and he couldn't catch up with them."
Bai Yu'an's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "How long has it been since?"
A Tao stiffened and was about to cry: "This slave forgot to ask."
Bai Yu'an held A Tao down and told her to take it easy. After seeing her calm down, he asked again: "Then before you came over, did you hear the sound of a carriage stopping at the Shen residence next to you?"
A Tao shook his head again: "Brother Jing seems to be a bit cold today. Maybe it rained last night and he woke up in the middle of the night and came out again, causing trouble all day long."
"Master Yuanqing slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. He also said that he had made an appointment to go out and left without even eating lunch."
"The servant was so anxious with Chang Jing that he didn't notice the sound next to him."
"Brother Wang also arrived at this moment. I asked him to take me with him for a while, and then I got away."
Bai Yu'an didn't speak anymore. When the carriage passed Shen's house, Bai Yu'an asked the driver to stop and jumped out of the carriage.
A Tao came out holding an umbrella: "Sir, hold your umbrella."
Bai Yu'an waved her hand and told A Tao to go back and take Chang Jing with him first, and he would go back soon.
After saying that, Bai Yu'an ignored A Tao and walked towards the door of Shen's mansion in a few steps.
The boy at the door saw Bai Yu'an and hurriedly greeted him: "Master Bai, my master is not here."
Bai Yu'an glanced at the carriage parked at the door. There were still sand and stones stuck to the wheels of the carriage, and there were wet marks on the curtain of the carriage, which were obviously wetted by rainwater drifting while driving fast.
The road from the palace to here is a flat road without so much dirt and gravel. It is obviously coming from the suburbs.
Glancing at another luxurious carriage, Bai Yu felt relieved and understood.
She stood under the eaves at the door, shook off the rainwater on her body, and smiled at the boy: "I left something here last time. Shen Shoufu asked the official to come and pick it up today."
"You just let me in, and I will explain to Shen Shoufu later that you will not be blamed."
The boy had a troubled face: "This servant can't make the decision, so you should come over later."
Bai Yu'an said: "The housekeeper knows about this. Just go in and ask the housekeeper to come out and tell you."
Seeing the gentle smile on Bai Yuan's face, the boy couldn't make up his mind and said hesitantly: "Then you wait first, I'll ask the housekeeper to come out."
Bai Yu'an smiled and got out of the way: "Okay."
The boy went to push the door open, but as soon as he stepped through the door, Bai Yu'an stepped in behind him. "
The boy was startled: "Master Bai, what do you want to do?"
With that said, he hurriedly called the person guarding the door to stop him.
Bai Yu'an, however, rushed forward with his head down, and the figure in the rain curtain was walking towards Shen Jue's yard based on his memory.
But after all, he was outnumbered. Bai Yu'an was another weak scholar and had been blocked by several people.
At this time, Butler Lin hurried over. Seeing such a scene and seeing Bai Yu'an soaked to the skin, he hurriedly came over and asked, "Master Bai, do you know where this is?"
Bai Yu'an's eyes were narrowed by the drizzle, and he looked at Butler Lin's family in front of him and said, "I know this is the residence of Chief Shen."
"It's just that I have something important to do with Chief Shen, please let the butler know."
Butler Lin smiled and said: "Our Lord is still in the palace at the moment. Master Bai wants to find my Lord, why is he not looking for him in the palace?"
Bai Yu'an said directly: "Xiaoguan saw Shen Chieffu's carriage parked outside."
"Please also ask Butler Lin to send a message to the lower officials that there is something important and that they must see Shen Shoufu."
"If I can't see anyone today, I will certainly not leave."
Butler Lin was helpless, but he couldn't offend the person yet. This was someone his family had specially asked to be treated well, so he advised: "Master Bai, why do you have to do this? If you want to wait, you might as well take shelter from the rain."
"How about you go with me to the house and wait?"
Bai Yu remained motionless, knowing that Shen Jue was afraid that he was seeing Gu Yiyi and had no time to see her.
He didn't say anything at the moment and rushed inside again.
Butler Lin hurriedly stopped him, but suddenly saw Bai Yuan stop.
He followed Bai Yu'an's gaze and saw a person stumbling over.
That person was someone other than Gu Yiyi.
