Chapter 042
An Guo was a female-dominated society, and the strong women were usually only responsible for protecting the safety of their masters. How would they know how many moles their young master had on his body? So they looked at the silent man in green.
The man in green smiled slightly and didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he irrelevantly complimented Yan Jin, “Miss, you are as meticulous as a strand of hair.”
Not to mention that the people from the second house couldn’t answer these characteristics, even the master himself might not be able to answer them immediately. Only the personal servant who took care of him could accurately answer them, greatly avoiding the possibility of sending the wrong person.
Yan Jin didn’t buy it. “Don’t say irrelevant things to delay time.”
The man in green bowed to Yan Jin, “I am specially responsible for taking care of the young master’s daily life. Miss, I can answer the questions you asked.”
With that said, the man in green answered Yan Jin’s questions unhurriedly, “The young master has a mole on the sole of his foot, the size of a red bean, also red in color, and without hair.”
Yan Jin recalled that when she helped Guo Bao Rou take a bath, she did see a red mole on the sole of her foot, and her facial features softened slightly.
The man in green continued, “The young master also has a mole on his eyebrow. Because it is black, you can only find it if you observe carefully.”
Yan Jin raised her eyebrows. Guo Bao Rou did have a mole on her eyebrow, which she discovered when helping her take a bath.
After all, it was a child to be handed over. Yan Jin naturally had to be cautious. Otherwise, if Guo Bao Rou’s real family came to find her later and she couldn’t hand over the child, even jumping into the Yellow River couldn’t wash her clean.
Yan Jin asked a few more details and verified that the other party was indeed from Guo Bao Rou’s family. She then said to the man and woman, “There was a reason for what happened just now. If there was any offense, I apologize here first.”
Although Yan Jin felt that she did nothing wrong in this matter, she couldn’t guarantee that these two people wouldn’t feel like she was interrogating a criminal and feel uncomfortable.
After knowing Yu Shu for a long time, Yan Jin also learned a little from him: in order to avoid trouble coming to the door later, sometimes it’s better to say more to avoid leaving hidden dangers that may bring bigger troubles later.
The strong woman shook her head, “Miss, rest assured, I know you are thinking about the young master’s safety and won’t mistake your good intentions.”
Yan Jin nodded, “Then you wait a moment, I’ll go get the person…”
Originally, Yan Jin wanted to say that she would go and carry Guo Bao Rou out, but when the words reached her mouth, Yan Jin thought of Guo Bao Rou’s weight and hastily changed her words, “I’ll let him carry Guo Bao Rou out.”
The “him” Yan Jin was referring to was Yu Shu.
Although the identity of the other party had been confirmed, Yan Jin was not bold enough to let strangers into the house in the middle of the night.
The man and woman also saw Yan Jin’s vigilance. Plus, they had found the young master, so naturally they didn’t dare to say much.
Yan Jin closed the door and turned to walk towards Guo Bao Rou’s room. She heard an unsurprising sound of footsteps behind her.
Before Yan Jin could turn around, she felt her shoulders sink, as if she was enveloped by the faint fragrance from Yu Shu’s body.
Yan Jin turned her head and saw that it was Yu Shu, who had also noticed the movement and came out to investigate.
“Didn’t you just say that you were afraid of the cold? How come you forgot to put on a coat when you went out?” Yu Shu casually straightened Yan Jin’s clothes.
Because he had taken off his outer garment and put it on Yan Jin, Yu Shu was only wearing his pajamas. “I heard the movement just now and came out to take a look. I saw you talking to people outside the door, so I didn’t come forward to disturb you.”
With that said, Yu Shu asked Yan Jin, “Who was at the door?”
“They came to find Guo Bao Rou.” Yan Jin walked inside with Yu Shu and repeated the conversation just now, “I saw that he could answer the characteristics of Guo Bao Rou’s body, and also had the county magistrate’s backing. They should really be the people sent by Guo Bao Rou’s family to pick her up, so I agreed to let them take Guo Bao Rou back.”
“Since it was the county magistrate who found them, it should be almost certain.” Yu Shu saw that Yan Jin’s face looked a little sleepy and couldn’t help but complain, “Even if they are in a hurry to pick up the person, they don’t need to be in such a rush, knocking on the door in the middle of the night and disturbing people’s rest.”
“If they come to pick her up tomorrow morning, Guo Bao Rou may not be willing to be taken away by them when she wakes up.” Yan Jin gathered her lapels and sighed, “Rather than making a big fuss tomorrow and being discovered by the neighbors, it’s better to quietly take the person away at night.”
