Things went much more smoothly than Su Liuer had originally expected. She figured it out as soon as she found the first person.
Madam Gu, that is Fang Lian.
Su Liuer was not surprised. She was good friends with Gu Lanyue, and Fang Lian was Gu Lanyue's sworn enemy. It was reasonable for her to turn against her when she couldn't deal with Gu Lanyue.
However, Fang Lian actually did this in the name of the Gu family, which means that it was not entirely her decision alone.
The person who is in charge of the Gu family in public is Gu Hongwei, and the person who holds power secretly is Madam Gu. Gu Lanyue has told Su Liuer all of this.
So, it was either Gu Hongwei's instruction, or it was Madam Gu.
Judging from the strange feeling Gu Hongwei felt when he saw her yesterday, the answer was already obvious.
She was not surprised that Fang Lian wanted to deal with her, but it was a bit strange that this ancient lady also wanted to deal with her.
According to Gu Lanyue's description, this old lady and Fang Lian were not of the same mind, and she had always been a two-faced person. Why did she suddenly stand on Fang Lian's side this time?
Now dealing with Su Liuer is equivalent to dealing with Gu Lanyue. After all, everyone in the Gu family knows that Gu Lanyue and Su Liuer have a close relationship.
Su Liuer held the small package and thought about it as she walked. When she had figured it out, she ran away.
Shopkeeper Lin watched Su Liuer suddenly run away without any signal. He didn't react for a moment and looked at her back for a long time.
Wait until he reacts.
"What does this mean?!" Should he chase her or not? Even if he chases her, he can't catch up!
Su Liuer ran all the way and found a place to change into women's clothes.
Then he swaggered to the gate of Longcheng Prefecture.
"Two big brothers, I'm sent by Master Jing Qingrong of the Jing family to find the prefect. My surname is Su, please inform him." Su Liuer took out the jade pendant that Jing Qingrong gave her, and gave some copper coins to each of the two gatekeepers.
The bailiff did not recognize the jade pendant, but he could still see the word "Jing" written on it.
Gu Lanyue made two sets of clothes for Su Liuer. Su Liuer wore the other set today. She looked good in it and looked beautiful. The two yamen runners looked at each other, and one of them went in to pass on the message.
Jing Qingrong and Su Liuer had just been to the Gu Mansion yesterday. When Gu Hongwei heard someone come to report that it was a girl named Su who came to see him, and that she was sent by the young master of the Jing family, he immediately had Su Liuer brought in.
Su Liuer has always been a decisive person in doing things. She would rather not take a roundabout way if a direct solution can be achieved.
So she didn't look for Fang Lian, but went directly to Gu Hongwei.
She had no time to deal with the intrigues among women, and since she was upright, there was no need for her to get involved with them.
"Master Gu, I came here today because I have a small matter that I would like to ask you for help."
After greeting Gu Hongwei, Su Liuer went straight to the point.
Gu Hongwei treated Su Liuer kindly for Jing Qingrong's sake. He smiled and said:
"Madam Su, you can tell me about it."
"Longcheng is getting better and better under the governance of Lord Gu. Although I've only just arrived, I'm deeply attracted by its peace and prosperity. So I want to buy a small house in Longcheng and settle down there."
"It's just that I don't know what's going on. I've been trying to buy a house in Longcheng these past few days, but every time I find one I'm about to go to the government office to handle the paperwork, the owner changes his mind and says he doesn't want to sell it. It really worries me to death!"
Su Liuer sighed depressedly and continued:
"I originally wanted to ask Master Jing for help, but Master Jing said that the Longcheng matter must be handled by you, Master Gu, a government official who serves the country and the people. So he asked me to come to you with the jade token."
