Chapter 473: Reunion
Seeing Hua Yuyu standing there and staring at the rooftop, Wu Jun followed his gaze. He then turned to Hua Yuyu and asked, "Captain, what are you looking at?"
Hua Yuyu shook his head. "Nothing."
While the two of them were talking, the soldier clasped his fists and asked the group, "Excuse me, may I see your identity documents?"
Hearing this, Hua Yuyu withdrew his gaze from the rooftop. Taking out the black token, he showed it to the soldier and explained, "We heard that Miss Bai is here. We wish to see her."
The soldier returned the black token to Hua Yuyu and asked, "May I know your name, Young Master?"
"Hua Yuyu."
After getting his name, the soldier said, "Please wait here for a moment. I will go and to Miss Bai."
"Then I will trouble you." Hua Yuyu responded politely.
The soldier nodded in response, exchanged glances with his companion, and went inside the mansion.
On the way to the main courtyard, the soldier spotted Xiao Cui leading several servants who were carrying large wooden boxes.
"Miss Xiao Cui, please wait," the soldier called out as he hurried over.
Hearing someone call her, Xiao Cui stopped and turned around. Seeing that it was a soldier, she curtsied and asked, "Sir, is there anything this servant can help you with?"
The soldier returned her greeting and explained, "Miss Xiao Cui, a group of men is requesting an audience with Miss Bai. They are currently waiting outside."
Frowning slightly, Xiao Cui asked, "Did they give their names?"
"One of them introduced himself as Hua Yuyu," the soldier replied honestly.
Xiao Cui bent her knees slightly and smiled. "Understood. This servant will inform Miss Bai. Thank you for bringing the news."
"This is what I should do," the soldier said before leaving.
After he left, Xiao Cui turned to the servants. "You all, bring the boxes to the warehouse. Be careful."
"Yes, Miss Xiao Cui," the servants replied.
While the servants carried the heavy wooden boxes toward the back courtyard, Xiao Cui hurried to the main courtyard.
Seeing that Bai Hanyun and He Xuanren were still deep in discussion, Xiao Cui stepped aside and waited quietly.
Noticing her, Bai Hanyun thought for a moment before handing one of the signed contracts to He Xuanren.
Clasping her hands, Bai Hanyun said, "Master He, happy cooperation."
He Xuanren was startled when he saw this. Standing up, he hurriedly stepped aside, avoiding her bow. He then clasped his hands and bowed deeply instead.
"Miss Bai, this commoner cannot afford such courtesy."
Scratching her cheek, Bai Hanyun thought,
’My bad... I forgot how strict social hierarchy is here.’
Seeing her lowered her hands, He Xuanren secretly let out a sigh of relief. With a polite smile, he said, "Miss Bai, it is this commoner’s honor to be able to cooperate with you. This commoner will contact you again after the preparations are complete."
"Alright. I will be waiting for your good news." Turning to a servant nearby, Bai Hanyun instructed, "Please escort Master He out."
"Yes, Miss Bai," the servant replied. Turning to He Xuanren, the servant gestured politely, "Master He, please."
Before leaving, He Xuanren bowed again toward Bai Hanyun. "Then this commoner will take his leave. Until next time, Miss Bai."
"Master He, please walk carefully."
After he left, Bai Hanyun turned to Xiao Cui. "What’s wrong?"
"Miss Bai, a soldier ed that a group of men is requesting an audience with you. They were waiting outside, and one of them introduced himself as Hua Yuyu," Xiao Cui explained.
The moment Bai Hanyun heard the name, her eyes lit up. "It’s Brother Hua!"
Without waiting for Xiao Cui, Bai Hanyun rushed toward the main entrance.
Startled, Xiao Cui chased after her anxiously. "Miss Bai, please slow down! Be careful—you might fall!"
Secretly following from the shadows, Yi Bai took out her small notebook and writing brush.
Without slowing down, she calmly wrote: [A group of men visited Fairy Bai at noon. She was ecstatic upon hearing the news and ran out to meet them.]
After a moment’s thought, she added another line: [Master’s position in Fairy Bai’s heart might be shaken. Are these men friends or foes?]
Satisfied with her writing, Yi Bai put away her notebook.
By the time Bai Hanyun rushed out, the two guards had already noticed her.
"Miss Bai," they greeted, clasping their fists.
Bai Hanyun nodded as she ran past them. Seeing the men waiting outside, her eyes shone as she exclaimed happily, "Brothers!"
Hua Yuyu and the others stopped talking and turned toward her. Seeing that Bai Hanyun was unharmed, they all let out a sigh of relief.
"Miss Bai," they greeted her with a smile.
Taking a few deep breaths to steady herself, Bai Hanyun grinned. "Fortunately, you are all alright. I asked Feng Wu before, and he said you guys had followed his men. Where did you go after we were separated?"
Hua Yuyu glanced around vigilantly before saying in a low voice, "Miss Bai, this isn’t a suitable place to talk."
Catching his meaning, Bai Hanyun nodded. She grabbed his wrist and said, "Let’s go inside."
She led them into the mansion, bypassing the main courtyard and heading straight for the back courtyard.
Seeing this, Xiao Cui grew anxious. Just as she was about to follow into the back courtyard, Bai Hanyun stopped her.
"Xiao Cui, there is no need to follow us. Prepare a few rooms for my friends. Make sure they are all in the same courtyard. Also, prepare one more room for me there as well."
"Miss Bai... this isn’t appropriate," Xiao Cui said hesitantly.
Bai Hanyun looked at her and calmly ordered, "Just do as I say."
"But—"
Before Xiao Cui could finish, Bai Hanyun had already pulled Hua Yuyu away.
Watching them leave, Xiao Cui paced anxiously on the stone path. "What should I do... what should I do..."
After a moment, she stopped. Frowning deeply, she looked in the direction where Bai Hanyun was going and muttered anxiously, "This won’t do. I need to inform my granduncle."
Making her decision, Xiao Cui hurried off to find Huang Wenping.
