Chapter 1373: Person Drenched in Sweat

Madam Ge smiled and said, “Previously, I received an invitation from the Marquis Mansion saying that the plum blossoms in the backyard of Marquis Huaiyin’s family had bloomed and invited everyone to admire the flowers. Originally, I thought that I wasn’t familiar with them and wanted to reject them. Now that you want to go to the Marquis Mansion, this is an opportunity.”

Flowers could be admired anytime. They were just looking for an opportunity to hold a banquet.

In the short time that Madam Ge had been in the capital, many ladies from aristocratic families had held banquets. She had received countless invitations, and Madam Ge had only gone twice.

Marquis Huaiyin’s family’s heir’s wife was relatively late. It was really because the Old Madam and the others didn’t like this kind of liveliness, but they still had to socialize. Moreover, Marquis Huaiyin’s family had been glorious in the early years, so their plum blossom forest was really big and beautiful.

There were indeed many madams and young ladies who went for the beautiful scenery.

Gu Yundong immediately smiled. What a coincidence.

“When is the date?”

“Two days later.”

Two days later, Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up. “Alright, I’ll go.”

Then, Madam Ge gave Gu Yundong some instructions and told her about the situation in Marquis Huaiyin’s residence. She asked her to stay for a meal before sending her out.

Gu Yundong only realized something after leaving the Qin residence and getting into the carriage. She had forgotten to ask the Ge family if they had a candidate for the female shopkeeper.

However, after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. In any case, they would meet again in two days. When the time came, it would be the same if she asked.

When she returned home, she saw Shao Qingyuan leaning against the recliner reading a book.

When Shao Wen was not around, Gu Yundong sent Tong Shuitao away. She walked over and laid on him. She hugged his waist and said, “I heard a lot about you when I went to the Qin family today.”

Shao Qingyuan quickly hugged her to prevent her from falling. When he heard this, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. “Me? What is it?”

“So you’re so famous in the capital. Your reputation seems to be very useful.”

Shao Qingyuan put down his book and propped himself up slightly. He carried her and sat on his lap.

“It’s all untrue. Outsiders say I have a kind face.”

Gu Yundong burst out laughing. She held his face and looked left and right. After a while, she nodded. “You do look kind.”

Shao Qingyuan narrowed his eyes, pressed her head down, and kissed her.

This girl was very bad. She even dared to tease him.

Gu Yundong was overjoyed. She leaned into his arms and talked. She told him about her cooperation with Madam Ge in the Qin residence and also about going to Marquis Huaiyin’s residence in two days.

Speaking of Marquis Huaiyin’s family, Shao Qingyuan was silent for a moment. He thought of Tang Qijing, whom he had met in the shop today.

This person’s mother seemed to be the cousin of Marquis Huaiyin?

“Tang Qijing…” Hearing this name, Gu Yundong nodded, indicating that she would remember it.

Shao Qingyuan looked at her and said, “I’ll go with you in two days and wait for you outside the mansion.”

Unfortunately, only women were invited.

Gu Yundong smiled and pinched his face. “Are you worried?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright, then wait for me outside.”

If there were any clues, she could tell him immediately. After all, it was about his background. She hoped that she would gain something from this trip to the Marquis Mansion.

Gu Yundong wanted Shao Qingyuan to reunite with his family as soon as possible.

Two days later, Gu Yundong and the others took a carriage to the Qin residence early in the morning. Then, they met up with Madam Ge and headed to Marquis Huaiyin’s residence.

However, not long after they left…

A carriage hurriedly entered Hetai Alley and stopped in front of the Shao family’s house not long after.

Then, the coachman turned around and helped the sweating person out of the carriage.
