Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1471 Waiting
"Ayu, no matter what you think, Zhuge Shan will never come back." Fang Zilan slowly stretched out her hand, but did not dare to touch the corner of Zhuge Yu's clothes, "But the Zhuge family needs you to move forward."

Zhuge Yu did not respond, but turned his head away and avoided Fang Zilan's gaze.

Seeing this, Fang Zilan's hand that had been stretched out in the air finally fell down. She pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind, "Ayu, I can't promise anything, but I will do my best to protect innocent people from being implicated."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. It was time to expose the account book that I had asked Qianjinfang to get to the public.

"I hope I can trust you again." Zhuge Yu looked at the direction where Fang Zilan disappeared, whispered softly, and then followed the footsteps of Dugu's sister and brother and went to the bakery.

There was no sign of the Dugu siblings in the store. When the waiter saw Zhuge Yu coming in, he approached him enthusiastically, "Sir, what do you need..."

"Just now, a pair of siblings came in one after the other." Zhuge Yu interrupted the waiter and asked in a deep voice, "Where are they now?"

"What brother and sister? I've never seen them before." The waiter frowned, "Sir, you can see that this is a small shop..."

"You won't tell me?" Zhuge Yu lost his patience for a rare time and said coldly, "Then I will ask more clearly. Where are General Dugu Ming and his sister Dugu Linxiu now?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed quickly, "Sir, who are you?"

"Zhuge Yu has come to see your inn's owner, Dugu Linxiu." Zhuge Yu said word by word, "Or does your inn only recognize Madam Fu?"

"We don't know who Miss Dugu is or who Madam Fu is." The waiter looked like he was trying to get rid of the customer. "If you don't want to buy cakes, don't make trouble here. Go away!"

Zhuge Yu seemed to have expected this, and sat down on the chair next to the door. "It's okay, I can wait."

"If Lord Su is willing to tell the truth, maybe I can help you." Fang Zilan said tentatively: "I once met a woman named Su in Linjia Village..."

Su Yun's pupils suddenly expanded and then shrank, and he blurted out, "Are you serious, Lord Fang?"

Fang Zilan didn't answer, but just looked at him steadily. He then realized his mistake and was about to say something to explain himself, when he heard her say, "Seriously."

Su Yun said softly, "I asked to be the Southeast Special Envoy for selfish reasons. I wanted to take this opportunity to find someone. What did the woman surnamed Su say to Lord Fang?"

"She said that when Emperor Xianning Shun ascended the throne, Lord Su Che of the Su family went out to sea to search for the elixir of immortality under the pretext of retiring to his hometown..." Fang Zilan deliberately dragged her voice and said, "Does Lord Su know about this?"

"I know about this." Su Yun responded hurriedly, "The person Lord Fang saw was my cousin Yuexi?" "Lord Su asked to be the special envoy to the southeast to find your cousin Yuexi's family?" Although it was a question, Fang Zilan said it with great certainty. She didn't wait for Su Yun to speak, and continued to talk, "I met a woman who was saved by Miss Su Yuexi in Linjia Village. She said that before Miss Su Yuexi left, she knew that she would have no hope of returning to her homeland in this life, so she gave her the jade pendant, hoping that she would bury it next to the Su family ancestral hall in the capital one day. However, the woman was infected with the plague and died soon, so she entrusted the jade pendant to me."

After she finished speaking, she took out the jade pendant from her bosom. Su Yun stared at the jade pendant in her hand and said, "Sister Yuexi is in Penglai, East China Sea. I think she must be as graceful as a fairy..."

"I originally wanted to tell you this." Fang Zilan interrupted him abruptly, her voice lowered, "But after thinking it over, I still feel that this is unfair to both Miss Su Yuexi and you."

"What do you mean?" Su Yun was stunned and asked, "Master Fang, what you just said is not true?"

"The woman I met in Linjia Village was Miss Su Yuexi herself." Fang Zilan placed the jade pendant on the table, took a deep breath and said, "Every word I say next is true."

She told Su Yun everything she saw and heard in Linjia Village and what Su Yuexi had told her. She deliberately concealed the cause of Xiahou Yan's death and the fisherman who was sent to Linjia Village, and let Su Yun know everything else without any pretense.

"This is the truth. Miss Su Yuexi has avenged her great hatred and passed away." Fang Zilan looked at the curl of tea smoke escaping from the teacup and could only sigh.

Su Yun lowered his head, his eyes were red, and his shoulders were shaking as if he was about to curl up into a ball.

"Besides me, the escort leader Lin Jian who entered the village with me also knows about this. If Lord Su doesn't believe it, I can accompany you to ask Lin Jian again..." Fang Zilan just opened his mouth and was interrupted by Su Yun's cold voice, "No need, I trust Lord Fang. Sister Yuexi never let anyone else touch this jade pendant. Even the Su family members were not allowed. If she hadn't died, she wouldn't..." His voice choked and he didn't say anything else.

Fang Zilan pursed her lips and said, "Master Su, please rest assured. For the sake of Miss Su Yuexi's final dignity and the reputation of the Su family, I will keep my mouth shut and will not let more people know about this."

Su Yun did not react at all, and he did not hear a word of what Fang Zilan said next. He did not understand why Sister Yuexi, such a good person, would suffer so much and end up burning herself in the world. Why?
"Master Su?" Fang Zilan called him, and he suddenly murmured, "The daughter of the Su family is like a full moon, bright and shining, and full of brilliance. At the age of seven, she was proficient in music, and at the age of ten, she knew poetry and literature. When she reached the age of 15, she was already good at poetry and songs. The moon waxes and wanes, but even if the full moon cannot stay in the sky forever, it should not... fall into the quagmire..."

He spoke each word with tears in his eyes, and when he said the last sentence, his face was already in tears.

Fang Zilan's eyes turned red, and she couldn't bear to watch any longer. She turned her head away and said palely, "Lord Su, please accept my condolences."

"Sister Yuexi..." Su Yun asked in a trembling voice, "Does she have any...last wishes?"

"She said she wanted to go home." Fang Zilan tried her best to suppress her emotions, but her voice was still tinged with bitterness. "She also asked me to bury the jade pendant next to the Su family ancestral hall in the capital. In fact, she was afraid that no one in this world would remember Su Yuexi anymore."

“How could it be…” Su Yun stretched out his hand and slowly approached the jade pendant on the table. “After my great uncle and his family left Beijing, my grandmother and several aunts and sisters-in-law would talk about Sister Yuexi every New Year and other festivals. Every time they mentioned her, they would say that it would be great if Yue girl was still alive. Until my grandmother passed away the year before last, she kept calling Sister Yuexi’s name and refused to close her eyes…”

As he spoke, he carefully touched the jade color with his fingers and sighed, "The world is like a temporary stay. How can the sea of ​​clouds and the fairy grass compare to the old times?"
