“It’s not that I can’t tell you, but I’m still an outsider in Chiyu Tower, and I don’t have any official position or power, so I feel a bit insecure,” Wen Nongnong said, feigning difficulty.
Upon hearing this, the elders huddled together and whispered for a while. Then, the eldest elder said to Wen Nong Nong, "Since Chi Yu Lou is currently lacking a deputy leader, and you are the leader's brother, as long as you can demonstrate your ability to earn money, we will recommend you as the deputy leader to manage all affairs of the Lou in the future."
Wen Nongnong and Wen Tingyun exchanged a glance before reluctantly nodding, "Alright then."
...
When Gu Linchao arrived in Tunzhou, it was already evening.
He only brought Si Yi and Wang Houde with him this time.
Tunzhou is neither too big nor too small, so finding someone there is not easy.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Tunzhou, he took Si Yi and Wang Houde directly to the Tunwang Mansion.
The guards at the gate were so frightened when they saw his token that they almost collapsed to the ground and rushed inside to report it.
A moment later, a handsome young man hurriedly ran out.
When he saw the person standing by the gate, he nearly lost his mind.
"Royal...Royal Uncle?"
Gu Linchao frowned when he saw his hurried appearance. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Yan emerge from behind him.
He hadn't believed the report from the guards that the Regent had arrived, but now that he saw it was indeed him, Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically. But it was too late to run now, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, greeting him casually, "Haha, Hengzhi, what brings you to Tunzhou?"
Could it be that he's still holding a grudge about what happened last time and is trying to arrest him?
Xiao Yan felt a little flustered thinking about what happened last time.
Sure enough, you shouldn't mess with Wen Nongnong.
He finally understood; his nephew really cared about that girl.
Even though that girl drank too much because she was greedy, her nephew still wants to hold him accountable.
Last time, he was unconscious for three whole days. After waking up, he came directly to Tunzhou to play.
I never expected that even though he had hidden so far away, I would still run into Gu Linchao here.
What a terrible thing!
Gu Linchao ignored him and looked at Gu Yi instead, "I need to find someone to borrow from your men."
Gu Yi hurriedly said obsequiously, "I wonder who you are looking for, Your Majesty? I am very familiar with this city of Tunzhou. I know everyone here, from merchants to peddlers. Perhaps I can be of help."
Gu Linchao glanced at him and declined indifferently, "No need."
Gu Yi glanced at his cold and indifferent face, and could only awkwardly hand over the token, "Manpower, Imperial Uncle, use it as you like."
"Okay." Gu Linchao took it and handed it to Si Yi.
Si Yi immediately went to mobilize manpower.
"Uncle, why don't you come inside and sit down for a while?" Gu Yi said solicitously.
Just as Gu Linchao was about to step inside, a man who looked like a manager ran in.
"Your Highness, the manager of Baihua Pavilion has sent over several invitations. They say that several new beauties have arrived at Baihua Pavilion, and there will be new entertainment tonight, something you've never seen before. They cordially invite you to come and have a chat with them tonight..."
Gu Yi tried to signal with his eyes, almost to the point of cramping, but the steward didn't catch it and managed to finish what he was saying.
Gu Yi covered his face and lowered his head, not daring to look at his uncle's expression.
It's all over...
This time, the Imperial Uncle is definitely going to skin him alive.
