1257: The Change in the Capital's Atmosphere

The Change in the Capital's Atmosphere

Xie Limo parked his car by the roadside and hugged Yun Bixue at once, letting her lean into his embrace. "It's not your fault. I'm the one who let you down. I wasn't by your side when you needed me the most."0

Yun Bixue clutched Xie Limo's sleeve and shook her head as she said, "No, it's not. You coming back from Gui County is very, very good for me already. I don't have Grandfather anymore, I only have you now. I didn't want you to be upset, so I didn't tell you."

Xie Limo's heart ached even more when he heard that. His Xue had suffered so much. He did not know how he could ease the burden in her heart.

"Xue, I will always be by your side."

"Okay. We already said from the start that we won't leave each other and will be with each other in both life and death."

"Okay."

Although she would still feel upset whenever her grandfather was mentioned, after this past month of coming to terms with her grief and with Xie Limo by her side now, Yun Bixue could feel a little better.

On their way back to the capital from Ning An City, Xie Limo accompanied Yun Bixue to go and pay respects to Old Master Yun.

After Yun Bixue descended the hill, she turned and said in her mind, "Grandfather, I will live on well."

On the way back, Xie Limo played some soothing music in the car to try and raise Yun Bixue's spirits.

However, Xie Limo had worried too much. Yun Bixue was in a pretty good mood on the way back, and she kept talking about Guan Tao Village throughout the whole journey.

Both of them knew that in life, there were many simple joys they could relish in. This was the only way they would be able to cheer themselves up, as well as the people around them.

Once they reached their home in the capital, Yun Bixue thought she went into the wrong house for a moment when she first stepped in.

She turned to look at Xie Limo and said, "Limo, this is our home, right? I didn't go to the wrong place?"

"No, you didn't. Look, do you like it? The side of the house has been renovated to mimic a brick bed like that in the village. However, this bed is heated with coal, so the smoke will be channeled out from the range hood."

Yun Bixue was excited and surprised at the same time. She kept exclaiming and feeling the brick bed. The moment she touched the brick bed, she said, "Wah, it's warm. Limo, quick come over here."

Seeing how Yun Bixue was behaving like a little girl again and her spirits lifted, Xie Limo thought that Xie Wu had outdone himself. He should praise him the next time he saw him.

Yun Bixue quickly went to wash up and changed into a pair of comfortable clothes. She placed the blankets from the bed on the brick bed to warm. Once it was done, she laid down on it excitedly.

"It's so comfortable and warm…"

The house was filled with Yun Bixue's laughter, and as Xie Limo heard it, an alluring gleam flashed across his eyes.

He stared at Yun Bixue indulgently. It has been a long time since he saw her smiling so happily.

Xie Limo and Yun Bixue returned to their usual sweet and romantic lifestyle.

However, the capital was now shrouded in a grave and stern atmosphere because of the Jiang family.

Everyone's attention totally shifted from the An family to the Jiang family.

"Have you heard? Master Jiang and Miss Jiang have yet to return."

"I heard that Miss Jiang lost her mind and kidnapped a little girl!"

"Is that true?"

"That's the rumor, and I'm not sure if it's true or not. This time, the Jiang family must have definitely offended some big shot. Haven't you noticed that the people in the Jiang family are all keeping a low-profile now? They used to be so arrogant and domineering last time, always looking down on others."

"Which big shot? Does the Jiang family have to fear anyone given their status and connections?"

"It's hard to say. Let's just wait and see!"

All the various noble families in the capital were making their own guesses, but no matter how they checked, they could not find a single clue. They had no idea where Master Jiang and Jiang Jingshan were.
