The strong man who was hit knelt there motionless, not daring to argue for himself.
"Master, this really can't be blamed on them. Lan Yue brought back a woman with great martial arts skills. It's not that the two of them couldn't stop Lan Yue, but they couldn't stop that martial arts-skilled woman!" The woman on the side stepped forward to explain.
"A woman with great martial arts skills? Where did she get to know this mess of people?"
The woman next to Gu Hongwei is Gu Hongwei's second concubine and the only noble concubine. She is now the person in charge of the Gu family's backyard. Her surname is Fang and her name is Lian.
"I guess Lan Yue was afraid of encountering danger when she went out, so she hired someone. Lan Yue is a lady from a wealthy family, and she would not make friends with a woman with a bandit-like nature. Master, you don't have to worry about this." Fang Lian poured a cup of fresh tea for Gu Hongwei and said softly.
Gu Hongwei's expression brightened slightly upon hearing this, and he hummed, "She's quite smart. She knows how to find someone to protect her."
Fang Lian nodded, then looked worried and hesitated to speak.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Gu Hongwei said.
Fang Lian frowned slightly, bit her lower lip, and whispered:
"I just saw that Lan Yueren was fine, so nothing happened. But this time she came back and seemed to have taken the things her sister left for her. I was wondering if she had spent all the money. But how could she have spent so much money in just a few days? Could she have been scammed out of it?"
When Gu Hongwei heard this, his face darkened again.
"Now that she's back, she can't escape from my grasp. Lao Ding, send someone to find out her whereabouts and the people around her." Gu Hongwei instructed the housekeeper beside him.
He just didn't believe that he, Gu Hongwei, the prefect of Longcheng, could not catch a little girl like her in this Longcheng area!
Fang Lian felt distressed when she saw that Gu Hongwei only ordered people to investigate instead of directly sending people to capture Gu Lanyue. In the end, she still cared about Gu Lanyue's face.
If Gu Lanyue was forcibly taken back to the Gu family, her reputation would naturally plummet, and it would be easy to make up excuses.
Now that Gu Hongwei has requested that no one should spread the news about Gu Lanyue, this news cannot be spread outside.

The snack shop that Gu Lanyue introduced tasted really good. Su Liuer was quite satisfied with the meal and also inquired about the rental prices of the Longcheng shop.
It’s really expensive.
This shop, which is about the same size as the Herbal Honey shop in Qingxi Town, costs twenty taels of silver in rent for half a year. Moreover, the location of this shop is not good at all. It is not on the main street, but in an alley.
Su Liuer has begun to feel sorry for her wallet.
However, the prices in Longcheng are not on the same level as those in Shanghe County. Otherwise, why would a Southern Xinjiang dance cost ten taels of silver to order?
Su Liuer estimated that a portion of Herba Jelly Honey could be sold for twenty cents, and the price of the pastry could be raised even higher, because even the famous pastry shop in Longcheng did not sell this pastry, it was so fresh and special.
If she were bolder and more ruthless, someone would buy them even if she sold them for fifty cents each.
However, all of this still depends on the subsequent costs, and she is unable to estimate the labor costs.
Big city.
It's really hard to get along.
After lunch was ready, Su Liuer asked Gu Lanyue to go back to the inn first. She wanted to go and inquire about the shops for rent in person.
Gu Lanyue was not brought along because she was too conspicuous. Many people knew her, the daughter of the prefect. Even in this snack bar, she was warmly welcomed as soon as she entered.
So in order to keep a low profile, Su Liuer could no longer take her around.
