1539 How did I do something stupid?
All the people in the city were looking for a woman who spoke a foreign language. Gu Hui could only pretend to be mute.
She knew the Dingzhou dialect, the Yuzhou dialect, the kunzhou dialect, the Nanjiang dialect, the capital’s dialect, but she didn’t know the Jiangnan accent. She could only pretend to be mute.
She saw a businessman chatting with his wife. Because the wife’s accent was not from Fuzhou, she was asked by the passing soldiers to take out her household registration certificate.
She wanted to ask Princess Jinghe’s nanny for help and ask where the officials in Fuzhou lived so that she could kill her way there one by one. However, she only knew which alley it was and had never been there.
She bought a flatbread and munched on it as she walked. In the end, she decided to take the risk and look for Cheng Huaiyu.
Cheng Huaiyu had been in Fuzhou for more than a year and had been asking around for news about Cheng huaijin. She should know where these people lived!
After thinking it through, she came to the song family.
The song family was still holding a funeral. She followed behind a couple and pretended to be their maidservant.
The funeral was supposed to be held with the door wide open. The song family thought that they were a servant girl who came with the couple, and the couple thought that she was someone else’s, mainly because she looked too calm.
When she arrived at the entrance of the mourning hall, she stood to the side. She saw Cheng Huaiyu burning paper beside the coffin and receiving the people who came to offer their condolences. She was relieved.
She was afraid that Peng MU’s subordinates would capture Cheng Huaiyu as well.
Peng MU’s underlings should be looking for Peng mu everywhere right now and have no time to bother with Cheng Huaiyu. His underlings should still not know that Cheng Huaiyu was the one who caused Peng mu to be arrested.
When Cheng Huaiyu walked her to the door and was about to turn around to leave, Gu Hui pulled her back. “Aunt ye, there’s something they need you for.”
Cheng Huaiyu looked at Gu Hui in shock.
Gu Hui had only drawn her eyebrows thicker, her eyes smaller, and two moles, but Cheng Huaiyu had never forgotten her mouth and nose.
She went to inform the song family’s sister-in-law and left with Gu Hui.
At first, Gu Hui walked in front, and then she led the way.
He brought Gu Hui to a courtyard. She looked around and closed the door.
This was her storage room, and it was filled with her dowry.
“What’s wrong, sister Huihui? I thought you left with Peng mu, why haven’t you left the city yet?” Cheng Huaiyu asked anxiously.
Last night, Peng MU’s underlings had asked her, but she had said that she didn’t know anything. Because of Peng MU’s previous feelings for her, as well as the fact that she was just an inner residence woman, Peng MU’s underlings did not suspect her at all.
“Is the song family safe?” Gu Hui asked.
“It seems to be safe for now. However, I can’t guarantee how long I’ll be safe. If Peng MU’s underlings can’t find him, they might not even think of me. ” Cheng Huaiyu could tell that Gu Hui and the rest were stuck in the city.
“Do you know the addresses of the officials in Fuzhou?” Gu Hui asked again.
“I know,” Cheng Huaiyu nodded. sister Huihui, I’ll write it for you immediately.
After she finished speaking, she found a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone from her dowry.
The brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were the dowry that Gu Qingyuan had prepared for her. He hoped that she could read more books and write more to calm herself down.
Gu Hui watched the entire journey.
“Sister Huihui, I’ve been to the backyard of the magistrate’s office and the backyard of a few of the Lords. I know where their study rooms are. Do you want the key to save someone in the prison and then take the seal to leave?” Cheng Huaiyu asked after writing.
Gu Hui raised her eyebrows. She was quite smart. Why did she do such a stupid thing before?
