The butler was a little angry that he had lost the stranger.
If he told Zhou Dafu now, he would definitely make Dai Wenhuo unhappy. Therefore, he could only make the people guarding the study and the warehouse more vigilant and strict.
However, Gu Yundong did not go to those places at all.
She moved very quickly and soon caught up with Steward Zhou, who was walking towards the Snow Blowing Garden.
Steward Zhou quickly entered the courtyard, but there were two old women guarding the entrance.
Gu Yundong was just thinking about how to put the two of them down when she heard hurried footsteps behind him.
She quickly hid behind a big tree at the side and watched helplessly as four burly old women followed a nanny and quickly walked towards the Snow Blowing Garden.
The nanny in the lead instructed the old woman behind her with a serious expression, “Keep a close eye on Mrs. Ren later. That person is the most ruffian. You must not let her go over and hide that servant with the surname Bian. Do you hear me?”
Gu Yundong narrowed his eyes. Mrs. Ren?
Who were these people? They looked fierce, as if they were here to cause trouble.
The next moment, Gu Yundong confirmed her guess. These people were indeed here to cause trouble.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the courtyard, they were stopped by the old woman guarding the door. “What are you doing? This is the Snow Blowing Garden. You’re not allowed to be impudent.”
The leading nanny did not stop walking at all. She said to the old woman behind her, “Shut their mouths and drag them to the side.”
Then, two old women walked out and pounced on the two guards.
The two of them instantly shouted, “Nanny Xu, how dare you? Aren’t you afraid that Old Master will argue with Madam if he finds out?”
Nanny Xu sneered. “We’re here on Master’s orders to look for someone.”
After saying that, she entered without looking back. The old woman guarding the door wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked and she could not make a sound at all. Then, she was dragged away.
Gu Yundong understood that the people who came later were Mrs. Zhou’s people.
It seemed like Mrs. Zhou knew that Gu Qiuyue was up to no good, so she took precautions in advance.
It just so happened that she had helped Gu Yundong.
Without the old woman guarding the door, Gu Yundong could easily enter again.
She followed Nanny Xu inside and saw Gu Qiuyue, whom she thought was dead, sitting in the central room.
She was wearing gold and silver, and her face was rosy and her figure was curled up. Her life was not ordinary.
Steward Zhou was standing in front of Gu Qiuyue. Steward Zhou bowed slightly as if he was reporting to her.
However, Gu Qiuyue had a relaxed expression on her face. She wasn’t in a hurry even when Nanny Xu barged in. She just chuckled. “Steward Zhou, what are you talking about? A man with the surname Bian? I don’t have such a person. You’re making things difficult for me. You can’t possibly make me create one for you, right? Also, Nanny Xu, what do you mean by bringing so many people into my courtyard with great fanfare? I’m Master’s concubine after all. You’re disrespectful and don’t take Master seriously at all.”
This pretentious look made Gu Yundong feel nauseous. But very quickly, she narrowed her eyes and scanned the room.
Other than Gu Qiuyue and a few younger maidservants, she did not look like Mrs. Ren at all.
Gu Yundong’s expression changed slightly. Oh no.
