"Now that things have come to this, you can't stay in this manor forever. Follow me to the Wind Listening Pavilion, no one will find out." Cloud said to her as she put on the black veil before opening the door.
Gu Danyan looked at the two story house not far away with slight difficulty. It seemed like she had wasted Duan Chengrui's efforts for nothing. However, she shook her head helplessly when she thought of Sun Yueqing standing in front of the door.
Maybe it would be better if she left.
But if she left, she didn't know how to stare at Duan Chengrui.
After all, Duan Chengrui and Duan Chengxuan were both part of the Imperial Family, so they would definitely not tell her everything. Furthermore, due to the incident at the Hundred Herb Cliff earlier, she would definitely not be able to wholeheartedly believe Duan Chengrui.
Seeming to have seen through her worry, Yun Xiao lightly grabbed her arm: "There's nothing that the Wind Listening Pavilion cannot find out."
"I'll go inform His Royal Highness." Gu Liuyan nodded, then gestured to the eaves at the side. The ghost descended, took her sabre, and stood by Yun Shu's side.
Only then did Gu Danyan relax and go to the room to find Duan Chenrui. However, at this time, the gentle and graceful Chang Yi was still sitting beside Duan Chenrui, and as the two of them faced each other, Gu Daiyan only roughly told him about the matter regarding Yun Qi, and also told him that she might want to go to listen to the Wind Hall's matters.
Duan Chengrui lightly frowned, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart.
"But it doesn't matter. After I go, I will also be helping His Highness with his eyes. If Your Highness needs me, I can just come back." Gu Daiyan quickly explained.
Chang Yiqin's eyes lit up slightly. Duan Chengrui knew Gu Tinyan's reason was good, so he didn't stop his.
Before she left, Gu Danyan still glanced at Chang Yiqin. For some reason, she felt that she was acting a bit weird compared to before.
After that, he followed Yun Wan back to the Wind Listening Pavilion. Hearing all the girls call him 'Miss' was a bit inappropriate, even Pingchuan treated her and Yun Wan with respect, and their residences were in the courtyard behind the Wind Listening Pavilion. Most of them were girls' residences, and their rooms were also in the same area.
Liu'er and Ziming both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. "We thought Mistress would never be able to come back this time. She has already sent many people out of the city."
"You did the right thing." Yun Wan took out a few books from the drawer and handed them over to Gu Liuyan: "The Wind Listening Pavilion is not here, but they send you news every half month. They write about the affairs of the world, and they have been sent recently.
Gu Liuyan nodded, holding the book and reading it. She didn't have the time to read it anymore.
Liu'er and Zi Ming both looked at Yun Dian with a complicated expression. Yun Dian did not understand what they meant, but three days later, Yun Dian felt even more guilty.
She practically read by night while holding a lantern every day, but she would wake up after two or three hours of sleep. If it was not to flip through the books in her hands, she would either be by Liu'er's side, listening intently to the stories about the Wind Listening Pavilion, the only time she had free time was when she could still teach the little girls in the building some calligraphy after taking a nap in the afternoon.
Yun Wan did not even have a chance to speak. Regarding this, the ghost who had taught the children martial arts could only whisper, "Madam, she is just a laborer. If you let her have some free time, it would be even more impossible."
"Then we should at least have a good meal." Yun Wan only continued to shake her head. However, she felt even more guilty towards Gu Tianyan, but she couldn't stop him from talking.
These few days, Gu Pingyan had become familiar with the affairs of Wind Listening Pavilion, and even understood some of the affairs of the martial world. It was as if he was born to command others' lives, and when Yun Xiao found out, she had already sent Zi Ming and Yu Zhu out.
Yun Dian was puzzled. "It's fine if Ziming is going, but what do you want the jade bead to do?"
"The jade bead has been dealing with those officials for a long time, it is much more skillful than Ziming." As he said this, Gu Danyan took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over to Yun Qi, "This is the letter sent by the Third Prince."
Yun Xiao took a glance at them and frowned, "These corrupt officials have lived for a period of time. Now that the situation has stabilized, it turns out that they have reignited in a solid state."
"That's right, so I sent Jade Pearl and the others to inquire about it. Tonight, I will dress up with His Highness and also go to the newly opened Clear Sky Tower to have a look at the situation. If Clear Sky Tower is really a place for people to wash their money, then it would be a great sin." Gu Liuyan also said seriously.
Before Yun Que could stop him, Gu Pingyan had already walked outside with flying steps.
For a while, she just stood there in a daze. For a long time, Yun Wan had never been this nervous, but the mother and daughter pair did not seem to have any feelings for each other. Liu'er, who had noticed everything just now, quickly walked over and comforted Yun Que, "Miss is used to doing things by herself, master, you should wait for her to slowly change."
Gu Pingyan, who had just disguised himself, looked at the ghost beside her with a strange expression: "You want to go as well?"
"Of course I'm not going. I'm just here to give you some advice." Phantom hugged his arms and looked at her helplessly. "Since you've already met your mother, why are you still so unfamiliar with her?"
As soon as he said that, Gu Liuyan started to get nervous. His eyes darted around and he said: "I …" "I don't really know how to get along with my family …"
Phantom Demon was stunned for a moment. "Then when you were at the Gu Estate earlier, did you not act coquettishly with Gu Cheng as well …"
"Of course not." Gu Danyan's voice became louder as if he was a bit embarrassed. His cheeks also turned red, and after a while, he stammered, "Besides, I don't know how to get close to you. It's not bad to talk about proper business like this."
After a moment of silence, Gu Pingyan slapped his cheek and said: "Let's not talk about it for now, this Clear Sky Restaurant is not easy to book. If we go too late, this matter won't be easy to handle."
Looking at Gu Danyan's back, Spiritfount let out a sigh and looked at the shadow.
There, Ping Chuan only nodded to the ghosts, and went to tell Yun Dian these words. After hearing it, Yun Que became even more conflicted, covering his face as he wailed to Liu'er: "It's all my fault, if I had insisted on coming back to take her with me, maybe …"
Listening to Yun Wan's self-blame, the people from Wind Listening Pavilion were also in a mess.
Unlike Gu Daiyan, Yun Dian felt guilty and cowardly towards his daughter, but he only dared to complain to his subordinates.
Gu Danyan, who was in the carriage, sneezed for no reason.
She was currently dressed in a scholar's attire, and her facial features were filled with various things. She looked very different from before, more fleshy, with a pair of large eyes that looked extremely adorable.
As for Duan Chengrui, he had disguised himself as one of her guards. He was dressed in black and had a black scarf that covered his mouth and chin.
Gu Danyan was rubbing her nose when Duan Chengrui put a piece of pastry in her hand and said in a low voice, "These few people need our attention, take a look at the pictures first."
"Alright." Gu Liuyan quickly tossed his attitude towards Yun Wan to the back of his mind and carefully memorized the contents of the painting.
