Chapter 516: Marriage Letter (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The mansion appeared somewhat deserted in the night, with fewer people around, and the lanterns hanging throughout were sparsely lit, casting a dim glow over the estate.
In the night breeze, the trees swayed with the wind in the dark, making people feel that there was something hidden in the darkness.
Gu Yunzhen subconsciously held Gu Yanfei’s arm. Ever since she heard the cry of a baby in the small garden that night, she had been feeling uneasy and didn’t dare to walk around casually at night.
“Wa… Wa…”
A baby’s shrill cry came faintly with the night wind, sandwiched between the rustling leaves.
Gu Yunzhen’s body seemed to be frozen. She froze and stopped in her tracks.
The wind ruffled her bangs and hair at her temples, tickling her cheek playfully.
“Second Sister, you… you…” Gu Yunzhen gulped and asked Gu Yanfei in fear, “Did you hear just now…”
She listened again. There was silence in the darkness, and she heard nothing. It seemed to be her imagination just now.
Gu Yunzhen couldn’t help but swallow. It was especially clear in the silent night.
“I’ll go over and take a look.” Gu Yanfei pointed in the direction of the small garden and smiled casually.
“Wait!” Gu Yunzhen grabbed Gu Yanfei’s hand and said anxiously, “I’ll go with you.”
She was afraid that Gu Yanfei would leave her behind.
The lantern in the servant girl’s hand swayed back and forth in the night wind.
The candle flame in the lantern swayed with the wind. The orange light flickered, giving off a sinister and strange feeling.
Gu Yanfei went back and held Gu Yunzhen’s cold little hand. She met her shocked eyes and smiled. “Okay, let’s go together!”
The two girls walked along a bluestone path towards the small garden. Gu Yunzhen was a step behind. As she walked, she looked around nervously, her gentle face a little pale.
“Meow!” A black cat suddenly jumped out of the bamboo forest and looked back at them fiercely. It was so intimidating that its back and tail stood on end.
A pair of amber cat eyes shone in the night.
“It’s a wild cat!” The servant girl with the lantern heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
After the black cat finished breathing, it jumped lightly onto the garden wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gu Yunzhen looked blankly in the direction the cat had left. After a long time, she slowly blinked.
“It’s a cat.” She turned to Gu Yanfei and smiled. “Was that a cat’s cry just now?”
Iler mother was right. It was indeed a cat. She had thought too much and mistaken the cat’s cry for a baby’s cry.
“…” Gu Yanfei’s hand that was hidden in her sleeve moved, but she didn’t say anything.
She held Gu Yunzhen’s arm and continued walking.
The bamboo forest behind them danced in the night breeze. Rustling sounds rose and fell, as if someone was whispering. The night gradually deepened.
The sound of a clapper came from afar. It was extremely penetrating in the silent night.
This night was very long for many people.
The Lu family and the Hua family were the same.
“Old Doctor Wang, how’s my son?” Madam Hua asked an old doctor with white hair with a worried expression.
Doctor Wang stroked his beard and shook his head. He sighed deeply.
This low sigh echoed in Madam Hua’s ears like thunder.
Tears welled up in Madam Hua’s eyes. She trembled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Her voice was a little hoarse. “Didn’t you say that we can still last for more than a month? How can it be so fast…”
Her eyes were red, and she choked.
“I don’t know either.” Doctor Wang frowned and said, “Eldest Young Master’s condition has been deteriorating in the past few years. His condition has been quite stable recently…”
“Sigh, I can only say that the Eldest Young Master has been ill for many years. His body is already riddled with holes, like a tree trunk that has been hollowed out by termites… I’m afraid he’s already helpless.”
“I’ve already done my best. He might not survive tonight…”
Madam Hua’s body trembled, and she took two steps back. She staggered and sat on a chair at the back, her face pale.
The nanny beside her looked at Madam Hua worriedly and stroked her back comfortingly.
After a while, Madam Hua calmed herself down and said in a hoarse voice, “Old Doctor Wang, can you delay it for another day… just one day?”
In just a few words, she looked like she had aged a few years.
Old Doctor Wang actually didn’t quite understand why she wanted Young Master Hua to hold on for another day. However, when he thought about how loving Madam Hua was and how he had watched the child of the Hua family grow up, he was ultimately reluctant to part with Young Master Hua..
