"Young master, isn't that Princess Yongning?"
Lai Fu's carriage happened to arrive at the city gate, and with his sharp eyes, he immediately recognized Gu Lili's figure from behind.
Laifu also grew up in the capital with Han Mingyue since he was a child. He has never seen the princesses and noble ladies of the capital like Gu Lili.
She was working in the fields, cooking, and now she was pushing a cart full of things onto the street.
Han Mingyue, who had been resting with her eyes closed in the carriage, perked up immediately upon hearing what Laifu said.
He quickly reached out and lifted the carriage curtain, looking in the direction Lai Fu pointed.
A thin, frail girl was seen struggling to push a small cart as she walked into the street.
That must be Gu Lili.
Watching Gu Lili's receding figure, Han Mingyue couldn't help but sigh.
It's so pitiful that she's seriously ill and still has to take care of the family!
I will definitely ask my older brother to support Gu Lili's business more in the future, so that my brother and I can earn more money.
Just as Han Mingyue was about to lower the carriage curtain and continue on his way, he suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be sneaking behind Gu Lili.
It shouldn't be "seems"; it was definitely following Gu Lili.
Because whenever Gu Lili stopped, the person behind her would quickly find a place to hide himself.
Is Gu Lili in danger?
Even Laifu noticed something amiss and exclaimed in alarm, "Young Master, look, that man has been following Lord Yongning the whole time!"
Han Mingyue quickly jumped off the carriage and turned to instruct Laifu.
"Laifu, you take the convoy to transport the bar first. I'll go check out the situation and meet up with you later!"
Gu Lili is her neighbor, Han Mingyue wouldn't just stand by and watch her die.
Even if they weren't neighbors, Han Mingyue would still step in.
Lai Fu nodded quickly and said, "Then young master must be extra careful."
My young master is no weak scholar; he has been practicing martial arts since he was four years old. Judging from that man's figure, my young master could knock him to the ground with one hand.
So Laifu had no worries at all and drove the carriage and the caravan toward the eastern suburbs.
Han Mingyue got off the carriage and quietly followed the man, walking forward.
Han Mingyue initially thought of catching the man and giving him a good beating, but this method only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.
If he follows Gu Lili again next time when she's not around, Gu Lili will be in even more danger.
It would be better to lure the snake out of its hole and then capture it in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles.
The man was so focused on following Gu Lili that he didn't notice that Han Mingyue had already been watching him from behind.
This is a classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Unaware of the situation, Gu Lili walked all the way to Wang's Trading Company, where she saw the four large characters still hanging on the signboard, but the doors were tightly closed.
Gu Lili stopped at the doorway, instantly wanting to curse.
That bastard Wang Fugui, he promised to bring me candy today, but he kept the door closed.
Just as Gu Lili turned to leave, the door opened from the inside, as if the person inside had already expected Gu Lili to be at the door.
A strong stench hit her nose, and Gu Lili quickly took several steps back.
She was the one who threw that stinky egg in, but she didn't want to smell it at all.
Wang Fugui stared at Gu Lili with a malicious grin and said, "Little girl, you're here. Bring the candy in, I'll weigh it for you and pay you."
Looking at Wang Fugui's mouthful of yellow teeth, Gu Lili couldn't help but feel a chill.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Manager Wang, your shop smells too strong. Let's weigh them outside."
Upon hearing this, Wang Fugui stepped out of the shop and said, "My shop had some problems a few days ago, which is why it smells so bad. Why don't you take this candy to my backyard? I'll move it in myself after the shop is cleaned up in a few days."
Wang Fugui had planned to lure Gu Lili to his courtyard today; he was only waiting for her in the shop because he was afraid she wouldn't be able to find him.
Gu Lili thought for a moment, prepared the chili water in her hand, and nodded in agreement to let him move the things to the back yard.
Gu Lili knew that the back of Wang Fugui's shop was used for living quarters, and that his wife and children were definitely there, so she wasn't worried at all that Wang Fugui had any ill intentions towards her.
Gu Lili followed Wang Fugui into the alley next to her house and entered through a side door into the backyard of Wang Fugui's house.
As if afraid that Gu Lili would have reservations, Wang Fugui did not lock the door after entering, leaving it wide open.
Wang Fugui found a scale, weighed the sugar, and readily handed Gu Lili two hundred taels of silver.
Gu Lili noticed that Wang Fugui's wife and children didn't seem to be home today.
She wanted to see for herself how Wang Fugui's wife would react when she saw her!
"Little girl, bring it to me again next time, at the same price! I don't mind the price!" Wang Fugui grinned, showing off his big yellow teeth.
While laughing, she poured Gu Lili a cup of tea. Looking at the tea in front of her, Gu Lili couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
Because at that moment, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in my mind.
"Beep, the aphrodisiac powder can make one feel hot all over and stir up lust...!"
Good heavens, so this Wang Fugui was waiting for me here all along!
No wonder he readily agreed to two taels of silver per catty; he had ulterior motives.
If it weren't for the fact that she urgently needed money for her system upgrade, Gu Lili wouldn't want to come back.
Gu Lili quietly put the prepared chili water back into her spatial storage, then switched to a tranquilizer gun and held it in her hand.
He took the teacup from Wang Fugui's hand with his other hand and said with a smile, "Manager Wang, look, is that your wife?"
Wang Fugui was startled and quickly turned his head to look towards the door.
Today, in order to get what he wanted, he even sent his wife and children away.
If they come back, then I won't be able to do my good deed!
But in the blink of an eye, they found the doorway empty; there was no one there.
"Hehe, where is there any... person..." Wang Fugui lost consciousness before he could finish speaking and fell straight down.
Gu Lili put the cup in her hand on the table, then walked over and kicked Wang Fugui's genitals several times.
He then pushed his little cart and left the courtyard, grumbling and cursing.
Wang Fugui can never do this business again in his lifetime.
As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, Gu Lili felt as if a gust of wind brushed against the back of her head.
Turning around, he saw Han Mingyue behind him and Wu Chenggui lying between the two of them.
Gu Lili asked in surprise, "What's going on, Mingyue? How come you're behind me?"
Han Mingyue told Gu Lili about what she had just seen Wu Chenggui.
