The Liu Family could not be considered a rich family in Huainan, but it was also a rich family. Liu Tong was the boss of the generation in the Liu Family and was in charge of some small businesses. The Liu Family's house was not small, and beyond Xie Jingxi's expectations, the house had a small courtyard.

's grandmother and Old Man Ji should have been living in the Liu Family ever since they got married, which suited Old Man Ji's casual personality. She didn't mind if he took her as a son-in-law, since Lady Ji grew up in the Liu Family, so he was a part of the Liu Family. Not only did he have a small courtyard, he was also well-preserved.

”Liu Tong is a considerate person.” Xie Jingxi looked at the house they were staying and sincerely judged.

In comparison to the indifference towards Marquis Mansion, Gu Yun was much more amiable towards Liu Family. He smiled and nodded, ”That's pretty good, it'll save us the trouble to move it outside.”

She knew that Gu Yun must have had the intention of coming over to take a look, and then, he must have directly moved his out. With his personality, it wouldn't be easy for him to stay in someone else's home, Liu Tong had personally sent over many things, one trip after another, and he took great care of them. However, he didn't ask them about their purpose here, even his wife and children didn't come over to disturb him, he knew his limits, and even Xie Jingxi had a good impression of Liu Family.

Back then, there was a reason why Grandfather chose to stay. It's just like how Grandmother and I enjoyed staying at Yuhang. Speaking of the old lady, Xie Jingxi thought of An, ”However, I can't go see her for the time being, I won't tell her about An, it will probably be a year or two.”

Gu Yun held her hand and accompanied her for a moment of silence, ”Come, let's go take a look at Mother's house.”

The Lady Ji lived in a two story house, it was not a pavilion, it was a small wooden house made out of wood and bamboo, in the southwest corner of the house, there was a place facing north and south, the construction style was very similar to the village's small courtyard, it was probably also from her grandmother's works, but the construction was not as sloppy, it was very exquisite and very firm, even after dozens of years it was maintained, even the copper locks on the outside were very shiny.

Liu Tong must have come here often to clean, but only to clean the outside of the house. The flowers, plants, and trees around the house were rather dense, and some had even climbed up to the attic. In other words, no one entered Lady Ji's house much longer, and it should be able to restore its original appearance to the greatest extent.

”Follow behind me, don't rush in.” Gu Yun used the key to unlock the door, carefully and gently, as if he was opening a door from a long past. The dull creaking sounds formed a stark contrast with the bright and beautiful exterior, and it echoed the prelude to that time, a mysterious past.

In the gap between the opening of the door, dust rushed up from the sunlight, unlike the darkness in front of the door, the sunlight reflected off the opposite window, as if welcoming them to heaven, the dust that finally met the sun, the dust that fell before they could wait for it, the dust that fell, the sigh.

The two of them waited outside the door hand in hand, not saying a word, their thoughts following the settling of the dust, emptied out. Only until everything inside the room was gradually becoming clear did Gu Yun pull her inside, ”Light footsteps, it has been a long time since anyone has come here, and I can't help but take heavy steps.

The arrangement of the second floor was very simple; it was just an ordinary wooden table and chair, and there was even a room, which should be the Lady Ji's living quarters. They were not in a hurry to take a look at her room, but instead planned to go to the second floor to take a look.

If the ground floor was anything like a boudoir girl's room, the second floor was a grocery store, a tidied grocery store, not too small a room full of books and tools of some sort. There was also a small room, locked, that looked like a cubicle where you couldn't see much light.

Xie Jingxi walked over, and carefully opened the window. Only then did the originally heavy and stifling atmosphere in the room ease up, and she used her finger to lightly slide across the edge of the window. A thick layer of dust had been etched into the place, and she wiped the dust off her finger, then turned her gaze towards the wooden shelf by the wall.

As expected, it was as Gu Yun had said. The Lady Ji was proficient in the medical arts, and her learning area was wider than the Old Man Ji's, so with just a few glances, she could already see that the Southwest Witch Doctors were scouring the shelves for books, and there were even a few books that were sent from the West. She probably could not understand them, so she did not find any traces of flipping them, but this did not hinder Xie Jingxi's surprise and curiosity.

”Mother, she is really out of my expectations.”

”Gu Yun is not as good as Xie Jingxihee only folded his arms as he looked around, and his attention was not on the medical books, but was playing with the various small objects on the table,” Not only did you expect this, even I did. Honestly speaking, before this, I had always doubted her choice, and in the few years that she was in the Marquis Mansion, she had always hidden that part of his aura that was incompatible with Marquis Mansion.

No matter how much one hides, it was impossible to completely change one's personality. For example, Gu Yun, or even Xie Jingxi.
