Gu Yundong thought that Nie Cong would agree readily, but he did not expect him to frown when he heard this.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "You should meet her, but…"
He paused and sighed. "It's just that she's sick. She's resting in the backyard now."
"All the more reason for me to go over and take a look."
Nie Cong nodded. "Alright, I'll bring you there."
As he spoke, he led Gu Yundong to the backyard. Soon, they stopped in front of a courtyard called Anhe Garden.
Gu Yundong immediately saw the servant girl who had run away earlier. She was standing in the courtyard with her head slightly lowered.
The two of them entered the courtyard. Gu Yundong stood in the central room while Nie Cong walked in first.
A servant served tea to Gu Yundong, so she sat outside and waited slowly.
Occasionally, low voices could be heard coming from the inner room. It should be Nie Cong telling his wife her identity.
After a while, Nie Cong came out.
"Sister Gu, come in."
