The carriage came out of Duke Zheng's Mansion, and as it passed Yankang Village, Tang Xiaobai instructed, "Go inside!"
During the day, the village gates were open, allowing for shortcuts.
Gu Wan returned to the Gu Mansion from Princess Puan Mansion, and Wei Sui returned home from the academy, both taking shortcuts through Yankang Village.
Tang Xiaobai leaned out from the carriage window, taking a longer look at the spot where Gu Wan had encountered danger, and saw a familiar figure.
"Stop!" Tang Xiaobai shouted.
The person turned at the sound of her voice, and upon seeing her, wore a gentle smile.
"Fourth Cousin Gu!" Tang Xiaobai called out to him, "What are you doing here?"
Gu Yuan walked up to her, turned his head casually, and said, "Just taking a look."
Tang Xiaobai nodded in understanding.
She too glanced around and whispered, "From Xiao'er Village to here is not so close..."
Even if hunting dogs escaped, why did they come here and specifically attack Gu Wan?
