Gu Jiangli shifted most of her weight onto Jiang Huaizhi as she walked out, whispering to Hehua, "Hehua, take Nanyu with you, and also take the gift for Master Song."
Lotus nodded emphatically, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Gu Jiangli had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped. "Huaizhi, have you arranged for someone to handle the gift for Master Song? This is the easiest thing to tamper with."
Jiang Huaizhi said helplessly, "Jiang Li, I already told you not to worry about these things, why are you still worried? I will have people guard that painting every step of the way, and there will definitely be no mistakes."
They had previously investigated and found that Master Song did not love money or have any particular hobbies, except for one thing: he was collecting paintings by his deceased close friend Wu Daoyun.
As Nan Yu's future mentors, it was only right for them to send some gifts to curry favor. Therefore, Jiang Huai used all his connections to finally find a posthumous work by Wu Daoyun in Lincheng.
The price wasn't high, but it was definitely the gift that Master Song wanted most. When giving a gift, you should cater to the recipient's preferences.

Jiang Huai was taken aback at first, then quickly laughed, "You want to 'invite the wolf into the house' first, and then 'catch the turtle in a jar'?"
"Let's give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, we'll just give up."
Jiang Huai smiled indulgently: "It's feasible, how could it not be feasible? Jiang Li's plans have never failed."
The two exchanged a smile, showing a deep understanding between them.
Gu Jiangli glanced at the sky again; it was gloomy, like the eve of a storm.
"The weather is about to change," she murmured.
Jiang Huaizhi, who was beside him, said softly, "Let it change. The City Lord's Mansion hasn't been this lively in a long time."
