Chapter 1523: Coincidentally, My Surname Is Shao

Editor: Henyee Translations

This time, the noise inside finally stopped for a moment. Then, they heard footsteps.

The next moment, the courtyard door was opened from the inside.

Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong focused their gazes and saw a thin and white-haired old man standing in front of them.

The old man’s face was numb, and his narrowed eyes were filled with vicissitudes.

He looked at the two people in front of him and asked with a frown, "Who are you?"

If the address was correct, according to the age of the person in front of him, he should be Gu Yiping.

Gu Yundong smiled and asked, "Are you Gu Yiping? We’re from the capital."

The capital?

Hearing these two words that seemed to be very far away, Gu Yiping’s numb face finally flashed with excitement, and there was a trace of light in his eyes.

However, he quickly suppressed it. He sized up the two of them and slowly took a deep breath. "Come in first."

Then, he turned around and limped into the courtyard. Even so, one could tell from his back that he was in a hurry.

Gu Yundong looked at his leg in surprise and immediately retracted her gaze.

It was normal. It was already not easy for exiled people to live for more than 20 years here, let alone complete.

She and Shao Qingyuan followed closely behind.

Although the Gu family’s courtyard was dilapidated, it occupied a large area and had many rooms. There were rooms on both sides, and there were many things piled in the courtyard. There was even a vegetable field in the corner.

Gu Yiping led them into the central room and pointed to a stool that did not look too reliable. "Have a seat."

Then, he raised his voice and shouted outside, "Old woman, pour some water." His voice trembled excitedly.

He turned around and said to the two of them, "There’s no good tea in the countryside. I can only pour some water for you to quench your thirst."

Shao Qingyuan didn’t care. "It doesn’t matter."

A moment later, an old woman who looked about the same age as Gu Yiping came in.

"Have some tea."

This voice...

Wasn’t it the sharp scolding they had heard outside the courtyard?

They did not know who she was scolding. At that time, they heard another woman’s voice in the courtyard.

Mrs. Gu didn’t leave after delivering the water. She sat on the stool on the other side and stared at the two of them.

Gu Yundong: "..."

Gu Yiping did not say anything. He did not seem to have said anything when there was a huge commotion in the courtyard just now.

When he saw that Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong had not drunk any water, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How should I address you, Young Master?"

"My surname is Shao."

Upon hearing the word Shao, Gu Yiping’s expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have thought of something bad and tightened his grip on his walking stick.

He could still restrain himself, but Madam Gu had already stood up and said angrily, "You’re from Marquis Huaiyin’s mansion? Why? The Shao family caused us to be in such a miserable state. Do you still want to kill us?"

Shao Qingyuan shook his head. "No, I have nothing to do with Marquis Huaiyin. It’s just a coincidence that my surname is Shao. My hometown is in the Xuanhe Prefecture."

When Gu Yiping heard this, his expression relaxed and he slowly exhaled.

He glared at Mrs. Gu, who sat back sheepishly.

She muttered, "Who asked him not to explain himself?"

"Shut up." Gu Yiping smiled and asked, "Mr. Shao, why did you come to us from the capital?"
