Chapter 245: Ah Ying, You seem to have gained weight.

Chapter 245

Ning Changan looked at his grandfather, then at the eager gaze of the woman in front of him. He wanted to speak but hesitated, "Madam, don't worry... the Eldest Prince is fine."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ying's eyes were almost filled with hot tears. Her anxious heart finally settled down firmly.

As long as he was fine, everything she had gone through to get here was worth it.

"Young Master Ning, where is the Eldest Prince now?"

The Eldest Prince's wife had travelled thousands of miles to find her husband. Ning Changan did not dare to conceal anything, "The Eldest Prince is in Xianlin Town, where the disaster hit the hardest."

Gu Ying's eyes shone brightly, "I want to go find him. I wonder if Young Master Ning can take me there?"

Ning Changan pursed his lips. He felt a little bad inside, "Well..."

Afraid that he would not agree, Gu Ying quickly said, "If Young Master Ning agrees to this, I will agree to anything Young Master Ning asks of me."

Ning Changan frowned slightly. He sighed softly in the end, "I still have one more day to buy supplies. I hope Madam can wait for me for a day. Tomorrow evening, Madam can set off with my carriage. It won't even take a full day to reach Xianlin Town."

Since it concerned the disaster and the common people, Gu Ying naturally agreed readily, "Alright, alright."

...

That night, Gu Ying stayed at Ning Si's courtyard.

Ning Si was the legitimate daughter of the Ning family's Madam. The Ning family had always doted on her greatly. Her courtyard was built like a fairyland, with fresh and elegant furniture and decorations, yet not without a young girl's lovely vibrance.

Gu Ying really liked this kind of courtyard. It had exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and towers, a spacious study, and a cozy bedroom. Every blade of grass, every piece of furniture showed Master Ning's love for his daughter.

Unlike her, who had never received much doting from her father and grandmother since she was little.

So Ning Si loved those she cared about ardently and bravely, unlike her who had suffered the pain of love and didn't dare open her heart to others anymore after being reborn.

Coming all the way unconditionally this time to find the Eldest Prince was the bravest thing she had done since her rebirth.

Gu Ying suppressed the loss in her heart.

She asked Ning Changan about the Yueyang snow disaster and the Eldest Prince's disappearance.

But she had gotten thinner everywhere else.

Maybe it's because...after being with the Eldest Prince...there was some further development...and the food at the Prince's manor was pretty good too...

Ahem, she blushed and didn't think about those passionate affairs anymore.

She poked Ning Si's forehead seriously, "It's late, we should rest."

"I was just joking around. Why are you angry, Gu Ying?" Ning Si laughed for a while by herself, then said, "Xianlin Town is very remote, and the journey will be difficult. Do you want me to go with you?"

Gu Ying smiled at her, "No need. From what your brother was implying, he wants to advise me not to go either. This shows that it is not easy to take a trip to Xianlin Town. You are physically weak. Just stay in Yueyang City and wait for me to come back."

Ning Si was reluctant, "Gu Ying."

Gu Ying pulled her up, "No discussion. Go to sleep."

Ning Si, "Hmph!"

...

The disaster in Xianlin Town was extremely severe. Ning Changan did not dare to slack off for a moment. He bought supplies without stopping and more than ten carts set off from Yueyang City like a long dragon.

Gu Ying and Yin Lan sat in the carriage in the middle.

Huai An rode on horseback alongside to protect them.

As her mental strain eased, Gu Ying's habit of dozing off returned.

As soon as she got on the carriage, she started rocking back and forth to sleep.

Yin Lan had originally wanted to find some free time to brew the medicine for her to drink, but there was never a chance. The convoy rarely stopped after setting off. During the brief breaks to rest, they had to get going again after just enough time to drink a cup of tea.

For the sake of Xianlin Town's disaster victims, Yin Lan also knew not to ask Ning Changan. She sighed despondently several times along the way.

Gu Ying woke up half asleep a few times. She comforted Yin Lan with a smile, "It's fine. We can brew the medicine at the Eldest Prince's camp when we arrive. My condition has improved. I won't die in a short period of time."

After speaking, she fell asleep again.
