"I was inconsiderate." Gu Pianran wanted to wait here, but seeing the hustle and bustle in the manor, she knew it was not a good idea to wait here.
Gu Pianran was not the kind of person who lacked foresight, so she naturally would not force him to stay. She said goodbye to the housekeeper and agreed to come back tomorrow.
The next day, Gu Pianran came early. She came so early just to prevent Lei Yuting from coming back.
The housekeeper welcomed her in warmly, just like yesterday.
"Is Young Master Lei here today?" Gu Pianran was certain that he would be there.
Coming here so early in the morning, I don't believe he's already gone out. Besides, he told me yesterday.
However, when she saw the apologetic look on the housekeeper's face, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Miss Gu, I'm so sorry. The young master didn't come home yesterday, and I was about to send a servant to let you know this morning, but I didn't expect you to come first."
Gu Pianran was not discouraged. "What is your young master going to do? How long will it take for him to come back?"
"Miss Gu, this old slave really doesn't know."
Finally, Gu Pianran went back.
On the third and fourth days, she came up empty-handed for four consecutive days. No matter how stupid Gu Pianran was, she knew that Lei Yuting was deliberately avoiding her. How could she not be angry?
In the past few days, Yuge has swallowed up a large order and a small order from their Gu family. Even Gu Pianran, who has a good temper, started to get angry.
"This is really too much." Gu Pianran threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
Gu Qing was so frightened that he dared not breathe. After a long while, he suggested, "Miss, let's go find the eldest prince."
Gu Pianran nodded.
If this were the Southern Tang Kingdom, who would dare treat them like this? Unfortunately, this was the Great Zhou Dynasty, and their Gu's Trading Company had very little foundation here. In fact, most of those who had previously done business with them relied on the eldest prince's reputation.
However, Yu Ge, who attacked them this time, was obviously afraid of this.
"Have you found out who is behind Yuge?"
After the incident happened, Gu Pianran ordered people to investigate early in the morning.
"To answer my lady, Yu Pavilion is supported by the Third and Fourth Princes."
"It is true." Gu Pianran had thought of it a long time ago. There must be someone behind them who dared to target them so unscrupulously.
The eldest prince and the third and fourth princes are all enemies. If things go wrong, the eldest prince will implicate their Gu family.
Gu Qing continued to report the news he had gathered, "The eldest prince has recently been fighting with the third and fourth princes. I guess they are attacking us from the Congyu Pavilion. It should be..."
Gu Qing paused after saying the following words and couldn't help but look at her.
Gu Pianran's face was gloomy.
"If that's the case, we'll suspend business here. Don't confront Yuge head-on for now. Wait until this is over, then find an opportunity to deal with them. Then we'll make them pay back everything they put in with interest."
Gu Qing couldn't bear to see all the plans she had made over the years ruined like this. "Miss, what about the Lei family?"
Gu Pianran's expression turned sour the moment she heard the name Lei Yuting. "Don't count on him. If this was a fight between several princes, he definitely wouldn't suddenly intervene just for us, the Gu family."
Gu Qing also understood it in his heart, but if he didn't like it, he would destroy it.
"Hold as much as you can." Gu Pianran waved her hand and asked him to retreat for the time being.
Just after Gu Qing left, Dongmei hurried in with a secret letter.
