rer!"Fang Jinshu's footsteps came to a halt. She had just thought about coming down to tap the orchid, proclaiming her ownership, when she suddenly saw something that made her run downwards like a mad...When Shen Li came back, Fang Jinxiu ignored Fu Ming anymore, her expression showing a hint of urgency.

"How's it going Did you hear anything"

Shen Li nodded, "Well, Boss Gu does have quite a few industries in Yuzhou. And he doesn't seem to intend to hide his whereabouts. There's also a Baiyu Garden here, but it's not as large as the one in Muxiu."

"Mr. Gu now lives inside."

Fu Ming didn't actually mind Fang Jinxiu ordering Shen Li around. The more she acted unceremoniously towards him, the more it meant that she would keep her promise and return to Beijing with him in the future.

That's actually what he wanted to see.

Therefore, Fu Ming's voice was very calm and showed no signs of anger.

"This Gu Liusheng is truly arrogant. He openly lives in the mansion in Yuzhou, not even bothering to hide his whereabouts. Does he really think no one will come to Yuzhou looking for Zongyu"

"I think there's something fishy about this."

When Shen Li returned, he was carefully sizing up his master's expression. He had gone to inquire about the news for Zong's lady without his master's permission. If this had happened before, it would have been considered betraying his master and punishable by a hundred lashes.

The master remained composed, seemingly unconcerned.

He let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Fang Jinshu didn't think that much about it. She just felt that since she had made a deal with Fu Ming, she should naturally make reasonable use of them as master and servant. There were some things she was not convenient to do herself, so she gave them to Fu Ming or Shen Li.

"It is indeed a bit strange."

Even if it was strange, she wanted to go and meet.

During the day, there were too many people and it was inconvenient to act. When it got late at night and everything was quiet, Fang Jinshi knocked on the door of Fu Ming's master and servant's room.

Since Gu Liu Sheng definitely wouldn't give him a direct meeting, she had to be absolutely certain that A Yu was there. It would be best if she could meet him beforehand.

With his talent and reputation, how could Gu Liu Sheng possibly keep him

She just knocked twice when Fu Ming creaked open the door, apparently waiting for her.

"I knew you'd be here tonight, I had Shen Li prepare everything."

Fu Ming made way, revealing Shen Li who had already donned his night attire and was ready to move.

I'll go with you.

Fang Jinshi wasn't particularly surprised. Instead, it was her words that shocked Fu Ming and the others.

"Are you going too"

Both of them thought they had misheard until they saw Fang Jinshu's affirmative nod.

"Don't worry, I know myself. I won't go in; I'll just stay outside the garden and keep watch."

"If you really meet Ayi, try to find a way to take me to see him, or if he's willing to go out with you, that'll work too."

"I must see him."

Fu Mingdao, “This probably isn’t appropriate, it would startle the snake.”

Fang Jinshi naturally knew, but.

"Psst, someone's coming!"

Shen Li shielded the two figures, flashing into the shadows in the corner of the wall. Watching the best time to infiltrate was about to pass, Bai Cui Garden's defense was stricter than ordinary households. Even Shen Li had to find the right moment, taking advantage of their shift change to sneak in unnoticed.

"Madam Zong, I cannot guarantee that I can arrange for you and your husband to meet. But I will certainly do my best."

After finishing his words, he looked at his master, waiting for his permission. Only after receiving a nod from Fu Ming did he relent.

Fang Jinxiu knew there was no other way, so she just said, "Be careful."

Shen Li nodded, tapped his foot lightly, and his figure gracefully flew over the wall and disappeared.

Fu Ming glanced at Fang Jinxiu, "Don't worry too much, at least Zongyu is safe for now."

Fang Jinshu only hummed in response and remained silent. For some reason, she had a bad premonition and was not at peace.

She and Fu Ming found a place to hide not far from the Bai Cui Garden. In the darkness, she stared intently at the wall, as if Zong Yu's figure would appear there the next second.

Shen Li's skills were excellent, and her infiltration of the inner courtyard was remarkably smooth, truly achieving an undetectable level.

The Bairui Garden in Yuzhou had far fewer servants than the one in Muzhou. Gu Liu Sheng rarely came to stay for several years, so this time, almost all the servants were busy around the main courtyard upon his arrival.

Shen Li didn't need much effort to find Gu Liu Sheng's residence, and then searched for Zong Yu's figure one room at a time.

He just leaped onto the rooftop tiles when he suddenly heard a deep, ominous voice coming from the courtyard below.

"Who!"

"Come down!"

Shen Li was startled. Hearing the voice, he felt a sense of familiarity, but before he could think about it, a short dagger flew towards his face. The force and speed were so great that he almost didn't dodge it!topped me.He refused to leave, insisting that they promise to save his sister from Li Gou's clutches. Only then would he depart, otherwise, he said, he would be betraying the memory of his deceased pa...
