Early the next morning, Gu Rao and Bieye had a simple breakfast outside and then returned to the inn to wait for news.

About noon, people from the Yamen brought news.

"The homes of Li Shen and Bie Chengcai have been searched, and there is no whereabouts of the remaining jewelry."

Gu Rao frowned slightly.

The official continued, "Boss Gu, please relax. Your Excellency will send more manpower to continue the search. We will eventually find the whereabouts of those jewelry."

"The evidence of Li Shen's stealing has been conclusive. Your Excellency has given him a chance to reduce his sentence. As long as he hands over the other jewelry, he will be imprisoned for a few years less."

Gu Rao said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The official smiled.

"This is what we should do."

"I've brought the message, I'll go back and give it to you, sir."

Gu Rao didn't say anything else, but looked at the official's back with a little worry.

Although this was her first lawsuit, she knew that under normal circumstances, the government would not go out of its way to notify the plaintiff before the evidence was found, so that the plaintiff could wait with peace of mind.

So, the official who just came here to bring news to her and to reply to Su Nan was specifically told by Su Nan.

It seemed that Sunan didn't listen to what she said yesterday.

Although she knew that the original owner and Sunan had grown up together, and it took more than a few words to make Sunan give up, she was still a little troubled and didn't know how to make Sunan give up completely.

If the original owner was still alive, how would he deal with the current situation?

Even if the original owner is alive now, he is already married to Bieye.

Will the original owner abandon Bieye and be with Sunan?

Bieye watched his wife staring at the official's back and didn't look away for a long time. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and there was a hint of sourness in his tone that he was not even aware of, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Rao immediately retracted his thoughts, coughed slightly and said, "I didn't read anything, I was thinking about the case."

Bieye, "..."

If she hadn't coughed, he might have actually believed her.

But her performance clearly showed a guilty conscience.

Gu Rao changed the subject and said, "I don't know when the remaining jewelry will be found, and I don't know when the case will end. I'll leave the rest to the litigator."

Bieye's eyes lit up.

"Are we going back today?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"If you stay in Donghuang County for one more day, you will have to spend one more day in vain. Living in an inn is not as comfortable as at home. Let's go back first."

"If there is something that cannot be handled by Master Wen Song by himself, we must be there in person and then come over by boat."

Bieye wished he could leave immediately, so that he wouldn't have to see his love rival or worry that his wife would choose to be with another man.

He and his wife were in name only, and they still had a three-year contract. If his wife really chose another man, he had no right to stop her.

"Didn't you want to take a nap just now? Take a nap first. I'll put your things away before I wake you up."

Gu Rao did not refuse.

"Then it's hard work for you."

I experienced too many things yesterday. My mind was in a mess at night, thinking about all kinds of things. I didn't sleep well at all. I felt sleepy at noon. If I didn't take a rest, I might get seasick on the boat.

-

After Bieye finished cleaning up, he did not wake up his wife immediately. Instead, he went to the dock first and asked about the departure time of the latest boat to Ye Boar Town.

After learning that it was still half an hour away, I went to the street and bought two bunches of candied haws before returning to the inn.

When it was time to sail, he gently asked his wife to get up.

Gu Rao opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear.

She slept well at noon.

I didn't like the noise at first, but after two days I got used to it.

Bieye called for a basin of hot water, wrung out the handkerchief, came to the bedside, and stretched out his hand to wipe Gu Rao's face.

Gu Rao, "..."

When Bieye finished wiping her face and turned around to wash the handkerchief, he realized, had she just been treated like a useless person?

The corners of his mouth twitched.

"I have my own hands. Next time I have to do things like washing my face myself."

No wonder I'm embarrassed.

Bieye washed his face with hot water, then folded up the wrung-out handkerchief, put it into a wooden box, and then put it into the bag to prevent the wet handkerchief from getting other clothes wet.

"It's easy."

Gu Rao didn't want to say anything or delay any longer. He got out of bed, put on his clothes, then took a bag and put it on his shoulder.

The couple came to the inn lobby together.

When the waiter saw them carrying their luggage, he knew they were about to check out.

"Wait a moment, you two. I'll call the shopkeeper down now!"

Beyeye nodded.

"Okay, the shopkeeper knows Master Wensong. We want the shopkeeper to help us send a message to Master Wensong."

In fact, Master Wensong knew their addresses. As soon as they checked out of the inn, he would know that they had gone home. If he had anything to do, he could write to them.

But since I'm leaving, it's better to let me know.

Lu Xin came down from the second floor.

"Isn't your case over yet? Why are you going back today?"

He knew everything about the case his son-in-law took over.

Bieye said, "There was a message from the yamen, saying that the remaining dirt was not found. We are doing business, and we can't stay in the county for too long. We haven't opened for business, so we want to go back first."

"When everything is found and we need to be there in person, we will come to the county again."

Lu Xin is also a businessman himself and understands this.

"You can go back in peace."

"I'll go and tell my son-in-law that you've gone home when I'm free later."

-

Gu Rao slept too much at noon and couldn't fall asleep on the boat.

At first, I sat at the stern of the boat and watched the scenery. After sitting there for about half an hour, I started to have chest tightness and shortness of breath, my head felt dizzy, and I wanted to vomit but couldn't.

She's seasick!

Bieye walked out of the cabin and took a coat and put it on Gu Rao's shoulders.

"It's windy and cold outside, do you want to go in and lie down?"

Gu Rao looked a little pale.

"it is good."

Only then did Bieye notice that something was wrong with her expression and asked, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

Gu Rao wanted to cry but had no tears.

"seasick."

Beyeye was stunned for a moment.

"How come you didn't faint before but did you faint this time?"

Gu Rao pressed a hand on his panicked heart to prevent himself from vomiting out, and said feebly, "I didn't take the boat for a short time before. When I came last time, I spent most of the time sleeping on the boat. I slept enough this time, and I didn't sleep on the boat." I feel sleepy and faint after sitting for a long time.”

Bieye was a little worried.

"There's still an hour to go, why don't you go to the cabin and take a nap first?"

Gu Rao was about to stand up, but found that he felt dizzy when he stood up, and fell back down again.

Bieye said, "Wait for me."

After saying that, he walked towards the bow of the ship. After a while, he returned to Gu Rao and said to Gu Rao, "I will carry you in. Hold my neck and don't move your hands."

Gu Rao shook his head quickly.

"No, there are so many people on the boat, it's not good to be seen."

Bieye rarely listened to her advice and bent down to hug her up.

Gu Rao subconsciously hugged his neck with both hands and whispered, "Put me down!"

Everyone around is watching!

How could he, a man from ancient times, be more open-minded than her?

Happy Year of the Rabbit, babies~ I was too tired from riding in the car for the past two days, so I took a rest and will continue working today.
