<h4>Chapter 1040: To Li Vige</h4>


    Zhou Huaijin looked very wronged, and looked at Gu Chaoyan transfixed as if she was a little kid who had not shared a candy.


    Gu Chaoyan looked up at him and knew that he was teasing her, instead of asking her. She patted the back of his hands and said carefully, “You already told the King that you wanted to deal with Li County, but the King didn’t want you to get involved. So if you go there now without authorization, then the King and many others would pick on you because of this point. Don’t make this minor thing soplicated.”


    “…”


    “I am going there with Shanhu with a purpose, because I can just say that I am doing this on behalf of Xinlin Clinic.”


    “…”


    “As for you… you can go there secretly.” Gu Chaoyan winked at him.


    Zhou Huaijinughed loudly as he rubbed Gu Chaoyan’s nose. “You are indeed my little girl.”


    The two were speaking so cheerfully…


    Xiu Jie and Sword One as well as Shen Tai were all wearing a smile on their faces. In their eyes, Elder Miss and Lord Huai were a great couple together. That they were getting on so well with each other was what mattered the most! They were also very d to see them speaking cheerfully with each other.


    Shanhu wasn’t very happy.


    Well…


    He was well aware that Lady Chaoyan and Lord Huai were a cute couple, but he just could not forget how assured he felt, when he opened his eyes and saw theposed silhouette of thisdy when he thought that he was dying.


    What kind of feeling was that? Well, Shanhu could notprehend that either.


    ......


    Lady Chaoyan seemed like a veryposeddy, but after spending some time with her, he could tell that Lady Chaoyan was actually very lively and smart. Then he looked at the handsome-looking man born in a noble family. Shanhu lowered his head and showed a veryplicated expression on his face.


    At this point, Gu Chaoyan had alreadye to Shanhu’s side. “What are you staring at? Let’s leave.”


    Even after saying this it took Shanhu a long while before he gave a reaction. Then he followed her.


    Sword One had two wagons ready, one for Shanhu and Qu Hua, the other for Elder Miss. It was a quick trip, since the destination was Li Vige.


    Shanhu was still suffering from some injuries, so the wagon was not heading too fast.


    Luckily, Li Vige was not too far away. It only took them four hours to arrive without a break in the process.


    However, the road towards Li Vige was quite bumpy, which cost them some time.


    Nevertheless they arrived before evening.


    The moment they arrived at Li Vige, Shanhu was in a hurry to visit his home. Gu Chaoyan thought that she could follow him to check on his grandma. So she asked the coachman to follow Shanhu to his home.


    It was a very simple-decorated farmyard. Due to what happened the day before yesterday, the doors were all closed and no one was outside.


    Shanhu shouted for a long time before someone came to open the door.


    Shanhu said gratefully to the Vige Chief, when he saw him. “Vige Chief, hi!”


    “There you are Shanhu, juste in to check up on your grandma. She has been frightened and is getting worse without you around,” the Vige Chief said.


    When all of this was said Shanhu hurried into the room.


    Only then did the Vige Chief notice that apart from Qu Hua, there was a very beautiful and noble-lookingdy next to them.


    Well…


    The Vige Chief looked at thedy and then at Shanhu. He had aplicated look on his face.
