Chapter 118 Things change and people change
But I didn't find any trace of him. It was only recently that I got the news that the child was taken out of Nanmo Country during the chaos. Now I have also sent people to look for him in Beilin Country. However, I always have a feeling that the possibility of the child being in Donglin Country is greater.
After all, Beilin Country was in a difficult situation at the time and would never mobilize such a large force to go to Nanmo Country to take away a little kid.
But the situation in Dongli Country is different. If she is brought to Dongli Country, perhaps the child will have a chance of survival. I learned that Nanmo Country is preparing to exchange information with Dongli Country.
"And since Nangong Mo had sent the Crown Prince personally, I guessed his purpose was not simple, so I immediately packed up and rushed over with my men. However, I have been traveling in Nanmo Country for many years, and now that I have arrived in Kyoto, everything has changed. Many things are beyond my ability. If it were not an emergency, I would definitely not come to trouble you!"
When Hua Shu thinks about the wrong things she did when she was young and ignorant, she still feels guilty when facing Xu Yiyuan, but she does not regret it. If it happens again, she will still choose to do the same.
"You should have told me earlier. If I had known this back then, I wouldn't have let it go. Maybe I would have found her by now!"
Xu Yiyuan couldn't help but look a little lonely. He could never remain indifferent to Jiang Lan. Since the child was her bloodline that she risked her life to leave behind, he would help her get it back even if it cost him his life.
Seeing Xu Yiyuan so sad, Hua Shu's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness. She naturally knew what Xu Yiyuan was thinking. Although she was here to help Sister Lan find her child, she also wanted to see her friend again after not seeing him for many years.
Although his heartless words were still ringing in her ears, she still couldn't suppress the emotions deep in her heart. She often thought that Sister Lan was the calamity that Xu Yiyuan would never be able to overcome in his lifetime, then Xu Yiyuan was also the calamity that she could not overcome!
Although she has been in Nanmo Country these years, her heart has already flown across thousands of mountains and rivers just to see him again at this moment. Now that she stands in front of him, she realizes that she has a deeper obsession.
Xu Yiyuan looked at Hua Shu in silence, feeling extremely guilty. Back then, the relationship between Nanmo and Dongli was tense. For so many years, it seemed as if there was a chasm between the two countries that was difficult to cross.
If Beilin Country had not been eyeing Dongli Republic, Emperor Shunqing would not have set his sights on Nanmo Country. Even if Huashu was so well-connected, it would not have been easy for him to come to Dongli Country so blatantly and make some moves.
Thinking of what he had just said, Xu Yiyuan suddenly felt unprecedented melancholy, and then looked at Hua Shu and said:
"Forget it. The past is over. It's better not to mention it. But when I think of the child Jiang Lan risked his life to protect, whose whereabouts are unknown, I feel a little bit sad. I think it must have been difficult for you to be in a foreign country for these years. Now that you have returned to Dongli Kingdom, do you have any other plans?"
Hua Shu didn't expect Xu Yiyuan to care about her hard work now. Tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of her eyes. She gently wiped the tears with her hands. Hua Shu couldn't help but turn her back to Xu Yiyuan and said:
"It's not hard. When I followed Sister Lan to Nanmo Country, I was already prepared not to return to Dongli Country. I just didn't expect that things are so unpredictable. Now, for Sister Lan, I have returned to this place again. Looking at this place now, it has a different taste!"
Xu Yiyuan couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he saw Hua Shu saying this. After all, there were some unpleasant things that happened between them. Although it had been a long time, it was still something that could not be erased.
Xu Yiyuan wanted to say something else, but Hua Shu unexpectedly hid it. Seeing the guilt in Xu Yiyuan's eyes, Hua Shu quickly said:
"I have explained the situation clearly to you. I am not as familiar with Dongli Country as you are. I am afraid I will have to trouble you again.
If I can find that child, I'll see Sister Lan again after a hundred years and give her an explanation. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to face her on the road to the underworld! It's getting late, I can't stay here any longer, goodbye!"
Seeing that Hua Shu was unwilling to mention the matter, Xu Yiyuan immediately stopped talking. Knowing that Hua Shu was determined to leave, Xu Yiyuan naturally did not say much and nodded in agreement.
"If you encounter any difficulties here, please tell me your name, or send someone to pass on a message. Although I don't go out often now, I can still deal with ordinary villains who can't afford to offend them!"
Hua Shu looked at Xu Yiyuan, who was still the same as before, arranging everything in detail, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Although there were great changes here, her unique care remained unchanged. However, she was no longer the little girl who got into trouble everywhere.
Xu Yiyuan looked at Hua Shu's back as he left and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
As Hua Shu walked out of Xu Yiyuan's residence, a woman in pink came over from the side, looked at Hua Shu and said respectfully:
"Master, I've checked out the place you mentioned, and there's nothing strange about it. It's just that it's in such a dilapidated state now that it's not really suitable for a place to stay. However, I've found a good place, and I think you'll like it!"
"Down and out? How could it be down and out? Take me over there to have a look," Hua Shu listened to the pink-dressed woman's words and was no longer able to care about being sad. You know, when Sister Lan was still there, that place was a prosperous place! There were countless famous teachers and craftsmen who came out of there.
She left behind so many beautiful memories there, which gave her comfort in a foreign country. Now, is even her last ray of light going to disappear?
A trace of pain flashed in Hua Shu's eyes, and the past suddenly flooded her mind. She stumbled and almost fell. The pink-dressed woman hurried forward to support her, and only then did she stand up. "Master, please be careful. I'll take you there!"
Hua Shu also knew that she couldn't be impatient at this moment. She still had so many things to accomplish. How could she be defeated so easily!
Looking at the worried woman in front of him, Hua Shu's eyes flashed with relief. He looked at her softly and said, "Don't worry! Le Shi, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something and didn't stand firmly for a while. Let's go over and take a look!"
Seeing Hua Shu's calm appearance, Hua Leshi finally felt relieved. Knowing her master's obsession, Hua Leshi immediately told her about the scene she had seen, and found a new yard not far away.
Looking at Hua Leshi chattering non-stop, Hua Shu shook his head helplessly, with a smile on his face.
