Chapter 829: Find Her
In the end, after the matter was exposed, she was also blamed by the Old Master and her status in the residence plummeted.
However, she had no choice now. Gu Qiuyue was not very knowledgeable. Other than being unclear about Gu Dafeng, she listened to her.
Moreover, although Old Master hated Gu Qiuyue, he still let her stay in the Snow Blowing Garden safely. This meant that Old Master still cared about their affection. It was not impossible for her to make a comeback.
Mrs. Ren still wanted to use her to continue acting like a tyrant in this residence.
After comforting Gu Qiuyue, Mrs. Ren went back to work.
The next day, she asked one of her trusted maids to change her clothes with Gu Qiuyue and pretended to be uncomfortable in the room. Anyway, Gu Qiuyue pretended to be sick for two days in order to regain Zhou Dafu’s attention. The servants who were watching over them were used to it and would deliberately mock her and pretend not to know, let alone invite a doctor.
Then, Mrs. Ren took Gu Qiuyue out of the back door with the excuse that she was going to get some medicine for Concubine Gu.
Gu’s was a little far away. By the time Gu Qiuyue arrived outside Gu’s, it was already noon.
There were many people on this street and there were many guests in Gu’s. Gu Qiuyue stood far away and could not see the people inside clearly.
She frowned and asked Mrs. Ren, “Are you sure this is Gu Yundong’s shop? How can she open such a big shop and have such a good business?”
Mrs. Ren was stunned for a moment. Actually, she was not very sure. But yesterday, Gu Yundong indeed acted like she was the master of the house. Even the shopkeeper in the shop did not say anything when he saw her bringing people to the backyard.
Hmm? Wait, perhaps… Gu Yundong had something to do with the shopkeeper?
Seeing how innocent Gu Yundong was, and how she told her everything she asked, it did not seem like he could open a shop.
At the thought of this, Mrs. Ren felt a little more confident.
“Let’s go closer and take a look.” Gu Qiuyue stuck her head out for a long time. In the end, she only saw the shop assistant coming back and forth. She felt very anxious. “You should have asked around yesterday to find out where her family lives.”
Mrs. Ren resisted the urge to roll her eyes. What excuse did she use to inquire about other people’s residences?
She was also annoyed, but she still brought Gu Qiuyue forward.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the shop, someone suddenly walked out of Gu’s. It was a woman.
Gu Qiuyue’s eyes widened. “That’s… Gu Yundong?”
Mrs. Ren saw it too. She pursed her lips and nodded.
Gu Qiuyue clenched her fists. She was really here. Was she really the owner of this shop?
The hatred in her eyes was about to spread. Her emotions shot towards Gu Yundong at the door, making her look over as if she had sensed something.
Mrs. Ren’s expression changed drastically. She turned around abruptly and stood in front of Gu Qiuyue, blocking their vision.
Gu Yundong only took a glance before quickly retracting her gaze.
She just smiled and asked Tong Shuitao, who was standing beside him, “Where are they standing?”
“That’s right. I thought I hid it very well.” Tong Shuitao was very speechless. Didn’t they know that her whereabouts were very eye-catching?
As she spoke, a carriage slowly drove over from the street. When it reached the entrance of Gu’s, it slowly stopped.
