The old mama went in a hurry, and after a while, she came back with a scroll.

“Just a painting, nothing else?” Madam Meng asked.

The old mama nodded her head: “It’s just a painting, nothing else.”

“Open it!” Madam Meng’s face sank and stared at the picture scroll in the mama’s hand.

The old mama opened it according to her master’s words, and the picture scroll unfolded little by little. It was a Guanyin sending away her son?

Madam Meng was stunned for a long time before she returned to her senses. This, this, this, she was a little girl, how could she send something like this?

What exactly does she mean?

Seeing Madam Meng’s expression, the old woman hurriedly said: “Madam, it’s better to send something like this as a farewell gift. Madam doesn’t have to take it to heart.”

Yes, it’s better to give something like this. If she gives something precious and delicate, then won’t Meng Nan have a reason to stare at it all day long? If he stares at it and thinks about people, then it would be bad.

If it was something like this thing, he won’t stare at it all day long, right? The more she thought about it, the more she felt at ease.

“Take it away, when the young master comes back later, send it to him.”

The old mama responded and went out with the painting.

Madam Meng was so happy that she found the bitter tea she was drinking sweet.

“Awu, why are you in a daze?” Zhou Gang leaned forward and saw Zhou Awu standing to the side in a daze again and again. No one knows what he was thinking. He just kept staring from afar in a daze.

Zhou Awu returned to his senses and hurriedly said: “No, it’s nothing.”

Zhou Gang didn’t believe him, raised an eyebrow, and said: “You, you’ve been like this recently, with a lot of thoughts and a tangled face. You must have something on your mind, come on and tell me.”

Zhou Awu shook his head vigorously: “No no no, it’s nothing, really nothing.”

Zhou Gang said again: “Did you raise a woman outside behind sister-in-law’s back? So you are afraid that sister-in-law would find out, but can’t hide it anymore?” There was a deputy general in the front camp who also looked acted like him. When he was asked, it turned out he was troubled because he impregnated his woman outside… …

Zhou Awu quickly waved his hand: “Big Brother, don’t talk nonsense, this is not a laughing matter. If someone heard about it and spread it out regardless if it’s true or not, what will happen? Don’t hurt me.”

“Then just say it straight, why do you look like in trouble?” Zhou Gang patted his shoulder heavily.

Zhou Awu has been struggling and depressed for a long time. This matter has been pressing in his heart like a mountain. He can’t talk about it or discuss it, but now that Zhou Gang was interrogating him like this, he had a thought of wanting to spit it out.

After gritting his teeth, Zhou Awu took Zhou Gang out of the training ground. There were many people there, and it was inconvenient to speak.

The two stood under a big tree. There was no one around. It was a good place to talk secretly.

“Look at your mysterious appearance, are you hiding some big secret from us?” Zhou Gang asked.

Zhou Awu sighed and said calmly: “It’s a big thing, look at this.” He took out the dark yellow leather booklet from his arms. There were small unrecognizable characters and numbers written on it.

This booklet should have been returned to Bai Zhi, but he was afraid that when he returned this to Bai Zhi, Prince Jin would see it one day. Things would be chaotic, so he kept it hidden on his body. He couldn’t tell this thing to anybody, so he couldn’t eat or sleep peacefully in worry every day.

Zhou Gang’s face changed after looking for a while: “This, this, what is written here? Why can’t I understand it? Do you understand it?”

Zhou Awu replied: “I don’t understand what is it, but I understand one thing. The person who wrote this is a man.”
