NovelEnglishChapter 310: Missing
Seeing Zhou Huaijin’s worried look, Gu Chaoyan patted his hands and said, “It is okay! I am just wondering. I haven’t been keeping Madame Jiang company these past two days.”
Zhou Huaijin let out a sigh of relief.
General Jiang passed away ages ago, leaving Madame Jiang behind. Zhou Huaijin was very worried and concerned about her. Now what he expected was that Madame Jiang would live a few more years.
The two ate dinner together.

At the Gu Mansion.

On the way home, they heard a lot of shocking stories.
They had not expected that such tremendous changes had happened during the past few years that they were not at home.
Gu Zhenkang and Chen Fu were waiting for them at the city gate. Seeing his grownup sons, he felt very gratified, as if he had seen the future of the Gu Mansion.
“Yunxuan, Yunhe, here you are!” Gu Zhenkang greeted them with a smile.
“Father!” Gu Yunxuan and Gu Yunhe greeted him loudly. They had been away from home for too long and had had a hard time at the military. Seeing their family all of a sudden, the two boys got rather excited.
Gu Zhenkang patted their shoulders and knew that it was not the right place to have a conversation.
“Let’s just go inside. Your mothers prepared some welcoming dinner for you.” Gu Zhenkang said.
The two nodded, got back into the wagon and went home together.
Everyone from the Gu Mansion, including the concubines and servants, were waiting at the doorstep for these two young masters to come home.
As Gu Zhenkang took them inside the mansion, Mrs. Gu spotted Gu Yunhe directly. She could not help rushing up to him directly. “He, you look so much thinner than before. You have had a hard time!”
Gu Yunhe smiled. “Mother! I am fine, now the bitterness is gone!”
His father revealed something in the wagon.
He knew that their Second Sister was marrying Lord Ling, so when they came home, they could work for Lord Ling, who could help them get some important positions. That sounded much better than being in the military!

They were nothing more than minor soldiers who kept on training and working every day. The capital was naturally much better. So Gu Yunhe was very happy that he could finally come home, and he truly did not have any interest in mentioning what happened at the army.
“Alright, mom, dinner will get cold if you don’t stop talking. Let’s just go inside.” Gu Ruxue said as she looked up at Gu Yunhe. “Come in, brother.”
“Okay!” Gu Yunhe answered happily.
He was very pleased with his sister. If not for her, he would not have been able to return to the capital city. Thank goodness that his sister was marrying Lord Ling.
Gu Zhenkang patted Gu Yunhe and the whole family walked inside happily. And Gu Yunxuan, who was never noticed, smiled bitterly. He had always been treated like this before he joined the military, and now, the situation was still the same years later. He was motherless, after all.
He shook his head and followed in.
They took their seats respectively, and then Gu Yunhe asked curiously, “Where is Madame Gu and Gu Chaoyan? Why are they missing?”
That question caused everyone to have a weird look.
