Gu Yundong jumped down from the carriage and threw the small piece of silver to him. “Take it. This is compensation for their hard work.”

As she spoke, she asked Tong Shuitao to knock on the door.

The young man felt that the silver was a little hot in his hand. He wanted to refuse, but footsteps were already coming from the manor.

The young man thought for a moment and did not refuse. He put away the silver.

Soon, the door of the manor was opened and a woman in her thirties came out. She was stunned when she saw Gu Yundong standing outside.

The young man reacted quickly and hurriedly introduced, “Aunt Wan, this is Miss Gu, the Boss’s fianc??e.”

Then, she said to Gu Yundong, “Aunt Wan is the housekeeper in charge of the manor.”

When Madam Wan heard this, she was stunned on the spot. She looked at Gu Yundong sizing her up.

She fell silent and the atmosphere instantly became a little stiff.

Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes slightly. Seeing this, the young man hurriedly called out to her, “Aunt Wan?”

Madam Wan suddenly came back to her senses. She hurriedly squeezed out a smile and moved aside. “So it’s Miss Gu. My bad. I didn’t react for a moment. Miss, please come in.”

Gu Yundong nodded and stepped through the door.

The young man behind her said, “Miss Gu, I’ll get going.”

Gu Yundong did not ask him to stay. She nodded and the young man led the carriage to the shed. He tied the rope, fed the horse, and ran away quickly.

Tong Shuitao leaned close to Gu Yundong’s ear and whispered, “This person seems to be stupid. He doesn’t even know how to perform well in front of this rare opportunity. He didn’t even say his name.”

Gu Yundong glanced at her. Little Tao, you actually have the cheek to say that others are stupid?

“If we want to know his name, we can ask someone else.”

Madam Wan led the way and did not hear their conversation.

Hence, Tong Shuitao took a few steps forward and asked, “Aunt Wan, what was the name of that young man just now?”

Aunt Wan hurriedly said, “That’s Yuan Cheng from the Yuan family. The Yuan family is a tenant in the manor. Yuan Cheng has been naughty since he was young. He raised a few dogs that are especially fierce, so we don’t dare to approach them. Master said that those dogs are perfect to protect the orchard and gave the Yuan family a lot of money to take good care of those dogs.”

Yuan Cheng?

Tong Shuitao got the information she wanted and returned to Gu Yundong’s side. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

When the three of them entered the courtyard, Gu Yundong took a closer look at the manor.

Although Shao Qingyuan said that the farmstead was small, it was still much bigger than her house in Yongfu Village. The so-called small was only relative to those big farmsteads.

They walked inside. When they were about to reach the central room, Madam Wan raised her voice and shouted, “Hubby, hubby, Miss Gu is here.”

Not long after she finished speaking, footsteps came from ahead.

Gu Yundong looked up and saw a tall but thin man coming out of the room.

The man walked over quickly. When he heard Madam Wan’s introduction, his expression immediately became more respectful. “So it’s Miss Gu. I didn’t go out to welcome you in time. Please forgive me.”

This should be the head of the manor, Xue Zongguang. Shao Qingyuan had said that when he bought this manor, the previous owner had requested him to buy it with the Xue family.

Gu Yundong sized him up and asked, “I’m here to look for Brother Shao. Where is he?”

Xue Zongguang hurriedly replied, “Master just arrived at the manor yesterday and brought people out.”

“Out? Do you know where he went?”
