Unexpectedly, he actually discovered something.
"Young Master Gu? Uncle Li, who is this person? Why is there only his surname and no given name? And I don't remember there being a large family with the surname Gu in Lin Yuan City?"
In the Shen family's accounting office, Shen Yunhao pointed to a marked name in a book and asked a question.
Li Xian is the steward of the Shen family. He is in his early forties and usually doesn't concern himself with the affairs of the escort agency, but he is most knowledgeable about the major and minor matters within the mansion.
The booklet in Shen Yunhao's hand contained a list of all the guests who visited on the day of the wedding.
"This one... Oh, I remember now, he is a distinguished guest who came with Fairy Ning, and he is also a fairy from the mountain. We dared not ask his name, we only heard others call him Young Master Gu, so we wrote him down."
Li Xian's attitude towards this third young master was quite respectful.
Having worked in the Shen household for half his life, he naturally saw things more clearly than the younger maids and servants.
Even if he is not highly regarded, he is still one of the masters of this mansion, and he is someone that no servant can afford to offend.

"Huayin Palace..."
Shen Yunhao pondered for a moment, making a mental note of the person, and then asked, "Uncle Li, there's one more thing... I was drunk that day, so who were the people at the table? I was drunk for three days straight. Did anything happen to the others?"
"Only the Third Young Master got drunk; the others were perfectly fine. As for who they were... it seems they were some young masters who were on good terms with the Third Young Master, but I can't remember the specifics."
At this point, Butler Li suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, I saw that the second master of the Ning family also came over to toast the third young master. He rested at that table for quite a while. Why don't you go and ask him..."
"Furthermore... since the young master has been unconscious for three days, according to custom, he should indeed visit Master Ning and Madam Ning at the Ning family home..."
