A few minutes later, the woman came out and led them into the yard.
Wen Guoer couldn't help but be attracted by the scene in the courtyard again. She had seen many luxurious courtyards in her previous life, but none of them was as beautiful, elegant, and solemn as this one.
The pavilions, towers, corridors and painted pillars in the courtyard exude a quiet and solemn ancient charm.
As the saying goes, every window reminds us of the ancients, every courtyard and yard evokes ancient feelings, every scene and environment contains the universe, and every quiet and peaceful moment creates ingenuity.
For the first time, Wen Guoer was truly fascinated by ancient architecture! Previously, she just thought that Siheyuan houses had room for appreciation and wanted to buy a few as an investment!
But at this moment, a kind of love arose and I wanted to be part of it.
It's truly a visual feast! Walking through it, it feels like all your senses are nourished.
After passing through several corridors, they arrived at the main hall of the second courtyard. An old man was already sitting on a rosewood chair, waiting for them.
The old lady was in her seventies, her hair and beard were all white, her face was covered with wrinkles, and her eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist, looking straight ahead.
A few people came forward, and the sound seemed to disturb her. She turned her head slightly in their direction.
Only then did Wen Guoer see the old lady's appearance clearly. Even though time was unforgiving, Wen Guoer still had a picture of her youthful grace in her mind.
The old lady exudes a gentle and elegant temperament, which seems to be innate and integrated into her appearance, becoming more charming with the passage of time.
"I heard that you came to see me, an old lady. Is there something wrong?" She pressed down the crutch in her hand, leaned forward, and asked first.
"Old lady, to be honest, we came here to ask for an audience with Master Wu through you." Wen Guoer knew that the old lady couldn't see, so she deliberately slowed down her speech and answered truthfully.
"You are quite an honest child!" The old lady nodded with a smile. "It must be a great effort for you to find me. We are destined to meet."
The old lady listened to the girl's clean and pure voice and inexplicably developed a sense of favor towards her.
"Qinghe, go call Xiaowu!" he called out to the woman who brought them in.
"I'll go right away, Mrs. Lan." After hearing this, the woman named Qinghe turned around and went to the next room, probably to call someone.
"Mrs. Lan?"
Wen Guoer then realized that the old lady's surname was not Wu, but Lan! She was surprised that the word "Lan" was actually a surname! However, the surname "Lan" was very suitable for the old lady's appearance and temperament. I think the old lady must have a nice name.
"Yes, old lady, I took my husband's surname, Lan."
Wen Guoer understood. So, Master Wu's last name wasn't Wu, but Lan?
While waiting, the old lady chatted with them like a kind neighbor grandmother, and even talked about some trivial things in her youth.
From the few sentences she heard, Wen Guoer pieced together that the old lady was born into a wealthy and powerful family, and the family she married into was also extraordinary.
It is obvious that Mr. Wu’s current achievements were not achieved overnight!
As he was speaking, a tall figure strode in from outside.
The two bodyguards following behind him, wearing the same dark-colored Zhongshan suits, stood on both sides of the door.
Wen Guoer looked at the man who walked in.
He was dressed casually in cloth clothes and cloth shoes. Although his temples were gray, his face was very resolute and his hair was meticulously combed back.
Wen Guoer guessed that this must be Master Wu!
But, how does this look like a black market boss?
Judging from his appearance alone, Wen Guoer felt that he looked more like a teacher.
After entering the house, Mr. Wu first bowed to the old lady with a very respectful attitude.
Then he swept his eyes towards them fiercely and said coldly: "Who gave you the courage! How dare you disturb my godmother's peace!"
He spoke slowly and in a calm tone, but his tone was so cold that Wen Guoer narrowed her eyes.
"We have no choice but to come here! Mr. Wu, please give us a chance to explain our purpose." Wen Guoer was respectful, neither humble nor arrogant.
Master Wu glanced at her and was stunned! This girl looked somewhat familiar...
He turned to look at the old lady and said softly, "Godmother, I have something to discuss with these two children. I'm sorry to have tired you out. Go back to the house and rest."
After he finished speaking, he gave a wink to Qinghe beside him. Qinghe understood and helped the old lady walk into the inner room.
When Wen Guoer heard this, she finally understood that Master Wu was actually just the old lady’s godson!
Although the old lady couldn't see, she still turned around and faced Wen Guoer: "You, child, really make me happy. You are welcome to come here and sit when you have time."
Wen Guoer hadn't expected the old lady to be so kind. She was about to nod in agreement, but then realized she couldn't see. She replied, "Guoer thanks Madam Lan for her kindness. I'll definitely come visit when I have time!"
After watching the old lady disappear, Master Wu turned around and said lightly:
"Tell me, if you can't explain it..." He sat down in the main seat and glanced at them, "I will not let you off easily!"
Wen Guoer met his gaze. "We came to see Master Wu because we want to know why he captured my brother. We're all in this business together, all for profit, so why would you want to ruin the relationship like this?"
Master Wu looked at the girl in front of him. She was well-spoken and graceful. Despite her young age, she possessed an impressive aura. His eyes flashed, "Are you the sister of Su Xing?"
