C420 (2/2)

”This child!” Yun Wan stomped her feet in anger, while the other girls hurriedly comforted him again.

Gu Liuyan was on his way to the third prince's residence, but he stopped in front of a stall. Looking at the hairpin on the stall, he felt that it looked pretty good, so he bought it and wrapped it around his chest.

Although the two of them were always busy together, but in the short span of a few days, Yun Diao had clearly remembered her preferences. Normally, when he saw her, he would not try to find fault with her and would often cause the two of them to feel awkward, but it still made Gu Lianyan's heart warm.

However, before he could take two steps, he saw the owner of the shop walk over and return the two taels of silver to her. ”The Duke of Jing sent someone to tell you what you want in the future. He even asked me to pass this item to you.”

Gu Danyan was slightly stunned. He turned around and saw Duan Chengxuan's figure disappearing into the crowd.

”No need, then take two taels of silver.” Gu Danyan turned around, handed the silver back to the boss and left.

However, at this moment, she didn't dare to openly go to the Third Prince's residence. She only contacted people and met him in the teahouse.

They knew that these corrupt officials were more or less related to Duan Chengxuan, because earlier, Duan Chengxuan had lost the Emperor's trust and the military power in his hands was in disarray. Now, he could only start with the silver coins and still wanted to cultivate his own forces, but they had only noticed the corrupt officials previously, so they had not expected that the person behind all these people was Duan Chengxuan.

”To think that he would do such a thing.” When Gu Danyan heard the news, he also found it hard to believe.

”These are all messages sent by the two brothers Meng Xu and Meng Shu. There shouldn't be any lies.” Duan Chengrui also took a look at the news that the Wind Listening Pavilion had heard, and frowned: ”However, today, Imperial Uncle seems to be going to see a high official, and it's not easy to get close to my person. See if there's anyone that can help me scout it out.”

The two of them knew what the other wanted to do, but when encountering such an important matter, compared to finding out about the other party, both sides were more inclined to defend and try their best to not be overheard.

Thus, Duan Chengrui had no choice but to turn to Gu Tinyan.

Gu Mingyan had wanted to ask the ladies of the Wind Listening Pavilion to come forward, but when she saw the name on the board, the corner of her mouth twitched: ”I can't let the ladies of the building go to the brothel.”

”Don't you have a man with you?” Duan Chengrui was shocked for a moment. ”Or find a small street …”

She temporarily had to wait for the situation to settle before she could reveal her identity. After thinking for a moment, she could only helplessly say, ”I think it's better if I go by myself. I know Duan Chengxuan's habits, so avoiding the people around him can be considered as getting used to it.”

”But you are also a girl …” Duan Chengrui was slightly hesitant from beginning to end.

”Don't worry, I have a thick skin. I can't find anyone better than me right now.” Gu Danyan patted his chest and continued, ”And he won't suspect me even if I show that I am before.”

While the two of them were speaking, Yue Qing, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke in a low voice. ”Why don't I accompany the young lady and have someone to look after her for me?”

Just as Duan Chengrui wanted to agree, Gu Pingyan opened his mouth: ”No need, I'm the only one who will be honest. Nothing will happen to me.”
