Chapter 800: Someone’s Secret Help

Editor: Henyee Translations

At the same time, in the Zhou Mansion’s Tranquil Orchid Courtyard, a nanny was talking to Mrs. Zhou.

“…According to Madam’s instructions, we bribed the servants of the Snow Blowing Garden and opened the door for the couple. That Gu wife did indeed leave with a bag. However, she was only going to sell wooden carvings. I thought that we would not gain anything today. I didn’t expect that the Gu wife would bump into a carriage on her way back. The people in the carriage came down and met her. Oh my, that’s amazing.”

Mrs. Zhou immediately straightened her back. “What happened?”

The nanny laughed. “A man came out of the carriage and actually called the Gu wife ‘Sister’.”

Mrs. Zhou’s eyes widened. “Really?”

“Yes, I heard it clearly.” The nanny did not expect such a gain.

She had been keeping an eye on the garden for some time. Concubine Gu had not been with Master for a long time and did not have much power. However, Mrs. Ren had taken her side, and Mrs. Ren was not on good terms with Mrs. Zhou, so she had been helping Concubine Gu.

Mrs. Ren was a person who liked to hold grudges. In the past, she had served the Old Madam. Before the Old Madam died, she asked the Old Master to take care of Mrs. Ren. Therefore, even if Mrs. Zhou wanted to deal with her, she had to consider carefully and tactfully.

However, when Master took Concubine Gu in, Mrs. Zhou went back to her mother’s family in a fit of pique, giving Mrs. Ren time to get together with Concubine Gu and arrange for her former friends to join the Snow Blowing Garden.

That was why it was so difficult for her to find out what was going on in the garden, and Concubine Gu had not come out of the garden a while ago.

But she had heard from a servant that Concubine Gu was locked up with a couple. She had no idea what their relationship was, but she heard that the man’s legs were broken and his surname was Bian, and the woman’s surname was Gu, which was the same as Concubine Gu’s.

Mrs. Zhou and her servant both guessed that Concubine Gu might be from the same hometown and had a grudge against her. Otherwise, why would Concubine Gu torture her so much?

Mrs. Zhou saw that she had kept the two of them locked up and refused to let them out, so she would try to set the Gu woman.

It was because she opened the door that Gu Dafeng was able to leave the Zhou Mansion unhindered and reach the streets.

The nanny followed behind her quietly and saw Gu Dajiang reuniting with her.

After Mrs. Zhou heard this, she tapped her fingers on the table and frowned. “Don’t you know who’s in the carriage?”

“I don’t know about that,” the nanny said shamefully. “I originally wanted to ask around, but unfortunately, that man booked a room in the inn next door. His daughter left in a carriage. The carriage moved too quickly, so I couldn’t follow.”

“He got a room in the inn? In that case, he’s not from the Xuanhe Prefecture?”

The nanny thought for a moment and nodded slightly. “I’m afraid so.”

Mrs. Zhou sighed. “So you are saying that the brother of the Gu Family doesn’t dare to seek revenge from the Zhou Family and Concubine Gu?”

The nanny was also a little disappointed. Logically speaking, they had acknowledged the Gu family, but that man with the surname Bian was still in the residence. If they were worried that he would suffer, they should have come to the Zhou Mansion as soon as possible to ask for him.

However, the brother of the Gu family was accompanying the Gu family at the inn. The daughter rode the carriage away and did not come to the Zhou Mansion.

The two of them were disappointed. At this moment, a servant came to report, “Madam, the young master of the Prefecture Magistrate Dai’s family is here.”
