The waiter was stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think so. However, the prefectural city is so big. The Huimin Medical Center that you mentioned might be hidden in an alley. I’m not very knowledgeable. Should I help you ask around later?”
“Thank you.” Gu Yundong smiled at him. Before she left, she had specially given him a tip.
The waiter’s face lit up. As expected, he became even more attentive.
Tong Shuitao looked at his back and said, “This waiter is really meticulous.”
“That’s why you can only be envious when others get rewards.” Gu Yundong teased her and entered the house without looking back.
Tong Shuitao immediately became a little dejected and carried the things in her hand into the room.
Yuelai Inn was not far from the city gate. Gu Yundong was only resting for the night. She would definitely keep looking tomorrow.
The waiter was really responsible. Later, after she finished eating, he even came over and told her about what he had found out. “I’ve asked the shopkeeper and the night watchman. There’s indeed no Huimin Medical Center.”
Gu Yundong thanked him and did not dwell on this matter.
She rested early that day. The next morning, after breakfast, she asked the waiter where Xin Manor was.
The Xin Manor was quite famous in the Wanqing Prefecture. The waiter immediately pointed in a certain direction, but it was a little far. The manor was in the west of the city.
Gu Yundong took Tong Shuitao to the west of the city and found an inn nearby. She then went out and planned to walk around the Xin residence.
According to the waiter, the Xin family was very famous in Wanqing Prefecture because the Xin family was not only rich, but also powerful.
Putting everything else aside, the second young master of the Xin family had married the daughter of the prefecture magistrate of Wanqing Prefecture and was in-laws with the prefecture magistrate.
Not to mention that when the late emperor traveled in the south more than 20 years ago, when he arrived at Wanqing Prefecture, it was the Xin Prefecture who received him.
Even if the late emperor was not a good person, the Xin family had such glorious deeds. They could do whatever they wanted in the prefectural city.
Hence, when she recalled that Song Dejiang asked her to buy Bai Muzi from the Xin family if she could, she wanted to hammer him to death.
She was indeed considered rich now, but that was only compared to the villagers of Yongfu Village. Compared to the Xin family, they did not care about all her assets, okay?
How could she buy it??
Since she couldn’t buy it, she could only think of another way.
She really hoped that the head of the Xin family would be like Peng Zhongfei back then, a person who could be duped into obediently taking out things.
However, after circling around the entrance of the Xin Manor, she decided to return to the inn first.
It was better to think about it at length.
Tong Shuitao had no idea what her mistress was thinking. Wherever her mistress went, she would follow.
When the two of them returned from the Xin Manor and were about to reach the inn, Tong Shuitao suddenly frowned.
Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes and stopped in her tracks.
Tong Shuitao quickly walked to her side and whispered into her ear, “Miss, someone is following us. Does the Xin family know that we’re plotting against them?”
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. Aren’t you thinking too highly of the Xin family?
She shook her head. “No. This person’s tracking methods are clumsy. He was discovered immediately.”
“Go down that alley.” Gu Yundong gestured and glanced to the left.
Tong Shuitao nodded, and the two of them continued forward as if nothing had happened.
When they reached the alley and entered, they turned around and waited for the other party to arrive.
As expected, there were no surprises at all. The people behind followed closely into the alley..
