Xiao Zhen’s words, after all the going round and round, finally focused on the last two sentences.
Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but smile and gently coughed as she said, "Okay, I understand now."
Seeing her say this, Xiao Zhen immediately relaxed and then said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, because Huo Commander is bringing people to participate in the competition, we’ve arranged for you to stay at our military’s guesthouse."
"It will be convenient for you to meet!" Xiao Zhen said, clearly excited.
Obviously, after firmly pinning the blame on her own commander, Xiao Zhen completely relaxed.
Then, Xiao Zhen continued, "Sister-in-law, since you just arrived today, go to the guesthouse and settle your luggage first."
"Then you can see whether you want to rest for a day or start searching for the person right away?"
Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and said, "Once I get to the guesthouse, I’ll rest up a bit and then go looking for the person straight away."
At the guesthouse, she could use the time difference in her space to rest.
"By the way, how did you find the elderly couple, Guan Yide? Where did you find them? How is their life?" After a while, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but ask.
Xiao Zhen smiled and replied, "Oh, that wasn’t too difficult, sister-in-law; the information you provided was quite clear."
"As long as the information is clear and the two elderly people are indeed in G City, it’s quite easy for our commander to go out and look for someone."
Indeed, as long as the name information is accurate, it’s relatively easy for officials to find people.
"However..." Xiao Zhen suddenly said, "the information you provided about the two elderly people—there seems to be some discrepancy with one of them."
"Guan Yide, Tian Sifang... Among them, Tian Sifang’s information seems a bit vague; she must have changed her name."
"Luckily, Guan Yide’s information was correct. His ancestors were court chefs, and he himself inherited the family skills. He opened a small noodle shop in Deep Well Lane; he should be the person you’re looking for."
After pausing for a moment, Xiao Zhen added, "As for Tian Sifang, although she has changed her name, she is indeed Guan Yide’s wife, so the person should be correct."
"Changed her name?" Xia Chuyi widened her eyes slightly in surprise.
Guan Yide was her master, and Tian Sifang was her Master... so did that mean her Master might have changed her name?
She thought of the Linglong Embroidery Needle Set.
Could it be that her Master really had something to do with Mrs. Gu?
It seemed that she would only know after meeting her Master.
Then, Xiao Zhen continued, "As for the lives of the two elderly people, Guan Yide has skills, and although they don’t have children, they run the noodle shop and their life together is pretty good."
"However, Guo Commander said that it seems the old man probably has quite a few ancestral treasures hidden away, but can’t bring them out right now."
"So, our commander also said, if you want to ask the old man to do something for you, it might be difficult, but if you need his help, he will definitely give ’strong assistance.’"
Xiao Zhen’s tone became somewhat awkward and strange as she uttered the last sentence.
Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but smile and shook her head.
Clearly, Guo Jiacheng was up to his little tricks again—getting her to owe a favor and then "coerce" Huo Shiqian.
Yet Xiao Zhen had already seen through it all, genuinely not wanting to be "in collusion," hinting to her with her expression and tone.
