Since that day when she fled from outside the Ministry of Justice Prison, Gu Qinglan had led a life of seclusion and simplicity.
She not only didn't leave the house, but she also seldom left her own room.
This unusual behavior caught the attention of her Aunt Lu.
"Madam says she hasn't seen Fifth Miss in several days and asks her to come over for a chat," said the maid sent by Lu.
Gu Qinglan had no choice but to go.
As she walked slowly along the corridor, with occasional fallen autumn leaves, Gu Qinglan seemed a bit absent-minded.
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached her ears, and she stopped in her tracks.
"It's Xinfeng's Master Tao, here to visit our Seventh Son," the maid explained.
Gu Qinglan responded with a simple "Hmm," without speaking or moving.
The maid assumed she stopped to avoid the unfamiliar man and silently waited alongside her.
Through a few autumn trees, the conversation between Tao Fen and Gu Ling continued to flow—
"Thank you, Writer Gu..."
