Wei Lan immediately ran to the front hall. Xiao Yi paused for a moment and turned to look at Gu Yundong. She quickly followed the round-faced girl.
Gu Yundong stood where she was and was silent for a moment. Then, she said to Eldest Aunt Gu, who was standing behind him, “Aunt, rest here first. I’ll go over and take a look.”
“No, I’ll be right back.”
With that, Gu Yundong strode towards the main hall.
Just as she turned around the large screen in the hall, she heard a commotion.
There were many people in the hall. Some of them had already stood up and retreated to the side to watch the commotion.
Gu Yundong glanced at them. These people were very interesting. They were still holding cups and snacks in their hands, as if they were afraid that they would lose the food.
The troublemakers should be two rich wives. They were very young and looked to be less than 20 years old. At this moment, neither of them allowed the other to look at each other.
It was an exaggeration to say that they were fighting. They should have quarreled. There was a broken cup on the ground.
Wei Lan and Xiao Yi were persuading the two of them, but they didn’t listen at all.
Gu Yundong took a few steps forward and walked to the anxious round-faced girl. She asked in a low voice, “What’s going on? Which families are these two madams from?”
The round-faced girl was stunned for a moment. When she turned around and saw that it was her, she only smiled slightly but did not answer.
This was a private matter of a guest. How could she gossip in front of other guests, especially at such a time?
But just because she didn’t gossip didn’t mean that others wouldn’t do it.
A girl standing on Gu Yundong’s right immediately told her excitedly, “You don’t know, do you? Let me tell you, the one on the left is Mrs. Yu from the east of the city. Her family runs a cloth shop. The one on the right is also from the east of the city. Her surname is Tian, and her family is in the wine business.”
Gu Yundong turned her head slightly and saw the girl’s excited face. She held a cup of milk tea in her left hand and a loaf of bread in her right. Her eyes were shining as she stared at the two quarreling people, as if she was looking forward to them fighting.
The round-faced girl also glanced at her. Perhaps because of her status, she did not say anything.
On the other hand, the girl happily shared the gossip with Gu Yundong. “It’s said that Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Tian had a good relationship when they were young, but later on, they became worse and worse. They hated each other. If any family invited them to a birthday banquet, as long as one of them went, the other would definitely say that they were sick and would not go. Unless they had to, they would not see each other no matter what.”
“You know them quite well.” Gu Yundong could not help but want to laugh.
The girl was still a little proud. “That’s right. I don’t have any good points, but I know a lot of things in this prefecture.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. This girl was an informant.
“Miss, what’s your name?”
“My last name is Bao.”
You’re really inquisitive. You didn’t let this surname down at all.
Gu Yundong was speechless.
Miss Bao continued, “Only this New Tea Pavilion has delicious food and comfortable places. This milk tea is even more novel. It made these two madams who don’t like each other come over every day. They were fine before, but I didn’t expect them to fight today.”
As Miss Bao spoke, she shook her head. “Is it because Madam Dai and Nie Shuang are not around that they’ve become bolder?”
When Gu Yundong heard her mention Nie Shuang’s name, she could not help but glance at her.
