Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 155: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 34

After Gu Li asked the housekeeper to have Liu Bo's sedan chair taken to the West Garden, he took his men back to the East Garden.

I really didn't expect that Chu Yansheng's ability to investigate cases was so strong that he solved the case of Zhang the Butcher in just two days and found the missing Liu.

He went to the palace to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage without first asking for permission, and then came to see her with the news about Zhang the Butcher's family.

It's true that you judge others by your own standards.

Is she the kind of person who would go back on her words?

"County Lady, someone just came to the west corner gate to tell you that the prince wants to meet the legendary Liu!"

"No." She wasn't gossipy enough to that extent.

Bai Shuang whispered again: "The prince said he was waiting for you at the corner gate, and he said he had something to give to the county lady."

Gu Li turned around silently, walked down the corridor and headed west.

Gu Li was brought to Guangfulou by Chu Yansheng in a daze. After ordering a few of the signature dim sum here, Chu Yansheng presented her with a gift he had prepared for her.

"County Lady, these are the maidservants I prepared for you. It will be safer to take them with you when you go out in the future, and it will also make me feel more at ease."

Bai Shuang stared at the two maids who came out from behind Chu Yansheng as if facing a formidable enemy, and then looked at her own county mistress nervously.

Prince Chu actually sent two maids in an attempt to snatch her and Bai Lu's positions.

Gu Li was also looking at the woman who was saluting her. Her steps were light and her eyes were firm. As for her skills, she couldn't tell.

After the incident with the little beggar, Gu Li thought about finding a martial arts maid to keep by her side. However, there were very few women who knew martial arts, and it was hard to find a martial arts maid that met her needs.

Military maids who are good in skills and highly obedient are usually trained from a young age by aristocratic families, and can only be found in the families of military generals, which takes more than ten years of effort.

Chu Yansheng said: "The two of them together can fight my secret guard Chu Jiu to a draw!"

Gu Li:----

Secret guard? Chu Jiu? It's already nine, are there any more numbers one to eight ahead?

Why tell her this?

Gu Li concealed her surprise and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness. You are so troubled!"

Gu Li did not refuse, and Chu Yansheng's smile softened. Accepting his gift meant that she no longer blamed him for acting without authorization.

Bai Lu is still recuperating in the mansion. Even after she has recovered, Gu Li only wants her to do some easy work in the mansion, and when Bai Lu is old enough, she will find a good man for her to marry.

Therefore, the two maids sent by Chu Yansheng were very much to her liking. Gu Li accepted them reluctantly and gave them new names: the taller one was named Lanzhu and the one with rounder eyes was named Lanyu.

Chu Yansheng, who was good at guessing people's minds, did not let the atmosphere become tense. Before Gu Liyou could come to question him, he took the initiative to tell the story of the false murder case he had found about Zhang the Butcher's family.

The result explained in just a few sentences in the letter was not as interesting as the prince's vivid description. Gu Li did not refuse.

"Zhao Liu has always worked very hard in the pork shop and is a grateful person. But his brothers and sisters-in-law who are farmers in the countryside always come to the city to ask Zhao Liu for money.

Two years ago, Zhao Liu's younger brother Zhao Ba wanted to marry Zhang the Butcher's sister. He would go to the pork shop every few days to show his courtesy and became a familiar face in Yongchun Alley.

The Zhao family is really fertile.

Gu Li tilted her head slightly to signal Bai Shuang to pour tea for the prince, but Bai Shuang was listening intently and didn't pay any attention to the county lady's little action.

However, Lan Yu, who was standing by, was quick to step forward and pour more tea for the two masters.

Gu Li nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Chu Yansheng.

"I guess the butcher's sister didn't marry into the Zhao family!" Otherwise, how could the Zhao family come to the door and smash things without caring about the consequences.

"Yes. The county lady is really smart." Chu Yansheng praised, "The Zhao family said that Butcher Zhang despised their family's poverty and ruined Zhao Ba's marriage by marrying Zhang Xiaomei to someone else. After Zhang Xiaomei got married, Zhao Ba frequently came to the pork shop to miss her and fell in love with her."

Gu Li couldn't help but rub her arms, feeling a little uneasy.

"Going to the pork shop to see the things that reminded me of her?" If he really liked that girl, he would at least consider her reputation.

Chu Yansheng chuckled and said, "I sent someone to check and found out that Zhang Xiaomei is married in the neighboring village of the Zhao family."

This is even more interesting. If you really suffer from lovesickness, it is better to secretly see your loved one than to run all the way to the pork shop in the city to see the pork and miss him/her.

"Besides, that little sister Zhang is not small at all. Her physique is the same as that of Butcher Zhang. She can be as strong as two Zhao Bas!"

Gu Li opened her almond-shaped eyes wide, as if she had seen the truth, "Could it be that what Zhao Ba really likes is Zhang the Butcher and the pork on the chopping board!"

Bai Shuang nodded vigorously. Her county lady was so smart that she hadn't thought of this.

Chu Yansheng was stunned for a moment, then he pursed his lips to hold back his laughter. But he couldn't hold it back, "Hahahaha, County Lady, you----hahaha---"

However, perhaps Zhao Ba had the same idea at that time.

Seeing the young county lady's eyebrows raised and looking like she was about to get angry, Chu Yansheng stopped immediately, "County lady, don't be angry, County lady, don't be angry. Listen to me and continue."

Gu Li glanced at him sideways.

Chu Yansheng cleared his throat and continued, "I sent someone to investigate and found that since Zhao Liu's death, the Zhao family has come to the shop to cause trouble, and each time it was Zhao Baling who led the trouble. But he didn't show up last time."

"Also, if Butcher Zhang is unwilling to marry his sister to the Zhao family because the Zhao family is poor, then according to the information I have found, the Wushangou Village where Zhang Xiaomei is married is even poorer than the Zhao Family Village."

Gu Li's brows furrowed more and more, and she placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table. "Prince Chu, keeping things in suspense is one of your characteristics, right?"

He just wanted to see more of her lively eyes and eyebrows. Even if it made her a little angry, it was a unique and fun experience that he had never experienced before.

Ever since he met the county lord today, Chu Yansheng has been smiling and is happy from the inside out.

He didn't know when, the county lady had secretly moved into his heart, and her every move, every frown and smile could easily make his heart beat fast.

However, he didn't dare to really make her angry.

He said quickly, "Little Sister Zhang was introduced by Butcher Zhang's wife and married to Wushangou. Butcher Zhang's missing wife was from Wushangou."

Two days ago, Chu Yansheng had someone deliver a piece of paper with only a few words written on it: died in an accident, Liu has appeared.

It seems that the whole thing is inseparable from this Liu family.

"Liu was from Wushangou. She was sold by her family because her family was too poor. She was bought by Zhang's mother and became the child bride of Zhang the Butcher.

Liu was pretty, and Butcher Zhang was worried that his wife would be coveted by others, so he only let her stay in the backyard. Before his younger sister got married, she was the one who did all the shopping. After his younger sister got married, Butcher Zhang occasionally allowed Liu to go out.

I'm coming.

Gu Li sat up straight and listened carefully. She had a feeling that there was something big going on.

Is that what she thought, is that so, is that so?
