Gu An'an knew exactly what people wanted to hear, and sure enough, her words made the original owner's expression relax a lot. "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer."

This shop was really too troublesome. During the New Year, his sister, who had married into Anzhou Prefecture, went to the temple to burn incense and asked the old Taoist priest to divine the future. The priest said that the shop must be sold to the first person who was interested in buying it for eighty taels of silver in the first month of the lunar calendar.

Anping County is known for its "haunted house," so who would spend eighty taels of silver to buy it?

But this person actually did appear.

This is his benefactor.

However, that shop was too eerie, and he didn't want to get involved with it again.

Having just acquired property in Anju Prefecture, they left quite early.

Manager Qiu sighed as he watched the departing figure, "It's only because the two older sisters of the Xie family married well; otherwise, given Xie Sanlang's abilities, how could he possibly manage the Xie family's business?"

"The Xie family? The family of Madam Xie, who married the prefect of Anzhou?"

Shopkeeper Qiu nodded, "Yes, how does Madam Gu know the Prefect?"

Gu An'an didn't recognize him, but she remembered the plot.

The female protagonist's family is from Anzhou. She has been close friends with the daughter of Prefect Chen since childhood.

Prefect Chen's wife, Madam Xie, was known for her shrewdness and competence. She later married her daughter into the royal family, only to find that the royal family was a den of dragons and tigers that would devour people without spitting out their bones.

Chen Zhizhou's daughter, Fanghua, died young, which is one of the main reasons why the female protagonist chooses to support the male protagonist and overthrow the Great Ye Dynasty.

It's just a Mary Sue novel with a strong female lead, so why does it need such a high-sounding reason for everything?

Of course, seeking revenge for her best friend is a plausible reason, which shows that the female lead values ​​loyalty and affection, doesn't it?

Gu An'an never expected that she would be involved with the female lead in such a roundabout way. Could this be the legendary female lead halo, which corresponds to the six degrees of separation theory?

No matter how much she tries, she can't escape the male and female leads?

This messed-up world is playing tricks on us!
