Chapter 013 disappeared out of thin air

As soon as they heard the shout, the father and son's faces changed immediately.

Both of them quickly turned around and swallowed the candy in their mouths. Then Du Yi hurriedly tied the purse around his waist, while Du Junqing threw the half-empty bag of candy to the servant behind him.

All of this was done in an instant.

When Gu Caiwei walked over, the father and son were clean, both in their hands and mouths. They both coldly ignored her, giving off an unfriendly vibe.

Seeing this, Gu Caiwei didn't approach too closely, and just greeted Du Junqing from a distance, "I have seen the Marquis."

Du Junqing coldly responded and then turned away. "Everyone is here, let's go!" He mounted his horse without any hesitation.

Du Yi didn't even look at her and just walked away to find his red horse.

This rascal!

The saying "soft food makes for soft people" didn't apply to him at all!

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but curse Du Yi in her heart. As for Du Junqing... forget it, the coldness emanating from him could weigh ten pounds. Her attempts to attack his spirit were futile against the icy exterior, so she decided not to waste her energy.

She pursed her lips and obediently got into the carriage.

The Changning Marquis's residence was not far from the Duke of Lai's residence, and it took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to arrive.

When the carriage stopped in the carriage hall, Gu Caiwei got off and couldn't see the father and son. Instead, there was a young lady of about fifteen or sixteen waiting there.

Seeing Gu Caiwei, she forced a smile. "The Marquis's wife has arrived, please follow me!" Then she turned and walked away.

Her perfunctory attitude was barely concealed.

"Lady, this is the Marquis's half-sister, the twenty-first lady of the residence. She will be married to the Taiyuan Wang family this autumn." Qingluo quickly whispered to Gu Caiwei.

Ah, now Gu Caiwei understood.

The Marquis's half-sister, who would soon be married into another family, indeed had the capital to look down on herself.

She didn't say much and obediently followed the twenty-first lady to the backyard, where she paid her respects to the elders of the Marquis's residence. Their attitudes were as indifferent and distant as ever. However, out of courtesy, no one said anything offensive, but they simply ignored her from start to finish.

It was this deliberate disregard that made people anxious. According to Qingluo, every time Gu Caiwei was treated like this, she would soon become intolerant and cause trouble, only to be unanimously attacked by the Du family, ending up embarrassed.

Gu Caiwei didn't care. After all, she had been with her grandfather in the countryside since she was young, and her grandfather was not fond of making a fuss. She often spent whole days without saying a word. Over time, she grew accustomed to this quiet and peaceful life.

However, her calm and composed demeanor, without any signs of impatience, surprised the women of the Du family.

This woman must be plotting something again! They all thought in unison and decided to continue ignoring her!

Meanwhile, Du Junqing had already taken his son to see his father, the current Duke of Lai, Du Song.

"Grandfather," Du Yi obediently greeted Du Song.

"Good, good, good." Du Song nodded with a smile and beckoned to his grandson, "Come here, to your grandfather."

Du Yi walked over to him, and Du Song's eyes lit up. "Hmm, why does Yi look a bit plumper? His complexion is much better than before! Did you find a great doctor?"

At this, Du Junqing furrowed his brow slightly.

"No," he shook his head, "Three months ago, I heard that the great doctor had come to Chang'an. But when I returned, for a whole month, I couldn't find any information about him. Even the people who had contact with him before had cut ties with him."

Pausing, he spoke heavily, "It feels like he disappeared into thin air!"
