Chapter 2 The Gate of Darkness
"Sister Yun Wan~" Xue Qing called softly, for fear of shocking the lost lady.
"Xueqing, why are you here?" A trace of surprise flashed in Duanmu Yun's eyes, and she hurriedly raised her hand to straighten her bun to hide a drop of crystal tears from the corner of her eyes.
"Housekeeper Cao asked my sister to return to the house as soon as possible. Lord Murong has been here for a long time and said that there is something important to discuss." Xue Qing did not dare to speak too urgently, for fear that the young lady would be too worried and get sick again.
"Can you tell me what's important?" Yun Wan frowned thoughtfully.
"Butler Cao didn't say anything. He only said that he was very urgent and asked the young lady to go back quickly. Master Murong doesn't seem to be able to stay for too long."
She won't listen either.
"Okay, let's go." Yun Wan took Xue Qing's hand and walked towards the house. Although these two girls of similar age have different statuses, they have been together for so long and they really feel like sisters. They often talk to Yun Wan in private.
They all asked Xue Qing to call her sister Yun Wan. At first Xue Qing did not dare to call her sister because of her identity, but over time she got used to this way of getting along with her. In her heart, she really regarded Duanmu Yun Wan as her biological sister, and Yun Wan
Why not Wan Wan? There have been countless long and difficult days, countless days when she was awakened by nightmares, and Xue Qing was by her side. Even if she didn't say anything, Yun Wan knew that as long as Xue Qing was there, she would
You can rest assured that there are always people in the world who understand your state of mind, which is a blessing!
"My eldest lady, you are back! Cough cough cough cough." As soon as Yun Wan entered the door, she saw Butler Cao coming towards her. The old man was panting and seemed about to fall down. After all, he was an old man.
"Uncle Cao, why is it so urgent? Your health is important, don't fall." Butler Cao has dedicated most of his life to Duanmu Mansion. Even Yun Wan, who often contradicts the master, respects him and never treats Cao Cao.
The housekeeper spoke loudly, and Yun Wan felt that Uncle Cao was very kind and kind. She had never met her grandfather, but only heard from others that he was very kind-hearted, so in her heart, Uncle Cao was like a grandfather, and he often gave
She is warm.
"Mr. Murong has been waiting for the young lady in Yanchun Hall for a long time. He only told me the news about the master." Butler Cao's face was filled with emotion.
"I understand, Xueqing, please go and see the young master first. Uncle Cao will accompany me to see what's going on." Yun Wan quickened her pace and walked towards the direction of Yanchun Hall.
"Brother Jing." Yun Wan's voice broke Murong Jingyu's thoughts.
"Guan'er." Murong Jingyu always liked to call Yun Wan by her nickname. At first, she was very resistant to him calling her without permission. She felt that no other person in the world was allowed to call her like this except her mother. Every time Murong Jingyu would
When he called her Guan'er, she pretended not to hear, and when he finally got tired of calling her and angrily called her Duanmu Yun Wan, she responded with disdain, but Murong Jingyu kept calling Guan'er.
, she was too lazy to argue with him anymore.
"Is there any news about my father?" Yun Wan asked eagerly.
"Master Duanmu is in a critical situation. According to my investigation, this kidnapping was done by the Anshang Sect." Murong Jingyu tried to keep his tone calm. In fact, he was also very panicked inside. He didn't know much about the situation of the Anshang Sect.
I only know that it is a very mysterious organization in the world. It often engages in assassinations to earn high rewards. If it is related to the Anshang Sect, it is not far away from meeting the King of Hell. Although the rumors in the world are not necessarily credible, people who wander around the world are not far away.
Everyone knows that this organization is real. I don’t know who Master Duanmu has provoked this time. I’m afraid even Murong Jingyu himself doesn’t have the courage to think about it anymore.
"Brother Jing, what do you think there is a chance that my father will survive?" Yun Wan looked thoughtfully at the sad-looking man in front of her. There were shallow fine lines in the corners of his eyes, and he looked very strange.
"I'm afraid it's hard to say." Although Murong Jingyu was worried that Yun Wan wanted to say some words of comfort, he knew that Yun Wan was so smart that he must have seen through his panic, and she must have guessed how critical the situation was now, so he had to respond vaguely.
He feels that even if there is a glimmer of hope to save Lord Duanmu, he will not give up. Even if it is not for Yun Wan, it must be for Yun Wan's younger brother. This Duanmu Chongze is the backbone of the entire Duanmu Mansion, old and young! "Wanwan
Son, don’t worry too much, Master Duanmu is blessed with great fortune.”
"It's okay. Brother Jing, there's no need to comfort me. I've heard some rumors about the Dark Shang Sect. Although my father may be in trouble, please don't give up." Yun Wan's sincere eyes made Murong look at him.
Jingyu felt very pity.
"Guan'er, don't worry. Your Majesty will treat me well, and I will definitely try my best." Jingyu paused and then said, "Besides, we have such a deep friendship, I will never let you down."
"Then I'll spare the trouble, Master Murong." Yun Wan was slightly unhappy. Whenever Murong Jingyu hinted at the subtle relationship between him and herself, Yun Wan would try to avoid the topic.
"Guan'er, you're welcome. I've been busy with official duties recently and can't come to look after me often. If there's any difficulty, please let someone know." Murong Jingyu looked at the haggard Yun Wan with distress. It was indeed a bit difficult for a weak woman to support the entire Duanmu Mansion.
Make things difficult for others.
"Thank you for your concern, brother Jing. Please take care of yourself. There are still some things to deal with in the house. I'm sorry that Yun Wan can't send her far away." Yun Wan winked at Butler Cao.
"Mr. Murong, I will escort you out of the city for the young lady." Butler Cao's eyes were wandering, full of questions but he didn't know how to speak. He was most afraid of saying inappropriate words and upsetting the young lady.
"Guan'er, take care." Murong Jingyu's nostalgic gaze finally moved away from Yun Wan's delicate face. Every time he saw her, he would clearly feel that time was flying by, and the daily life changed in an instant.
It was slightly shorter than a stick of incense, her eyes were like stars, her voice was like the sound of nature, and even her faint rouge fragrance floating in the air, Murong Jingyu wanted to find a way to collect it. But he
But he never had the courage to take that step forward. Even if she was within easy reach, he could only choose to stare at the existing beauty. He didn't dare to be greedy, and he didn't dare to ask for extravagant things, because he was afraid of the moment of his breath.
He no longer even has the qualifications to watch from afar, so he can only be so reserved, so watchful, and so affectionate.
