Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Who is that man? Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Who is that man? After returning from the Governor’s Office, Gu Ya left with a mysterious air about him. In the afternoon, when Su Yunjin asked Gu Ya what he was up to, he wouldn’t tell her. Her curiosity was piqued about where Gu Ya could have gone.
Su Yunjin asked Gu Ya once again.
The matter with Fan Wenxuan had been completely dealt with by Gu Ya, who had rendered Wenxuan ineligible for the imperial exam–thus, there was no need to sicken his little wife with that tale.
His little wife asked, but Gu Ya likewise had no intention to reveal it; instead, he changed the subject, “Yunjin, didn’t you want to hear about Mrs. Qin’s husband’s affairs during the day?”
Gu Ya’s mention of Mrs. Qin’s husband served as a reminder, instantly reigniting Su Yunjin’s interest. Mrs. Qin was quite an extraordinary woman, and in truth, Su Yunjin was genuinely curious about what kind of man Mrs. Qin’s husband was.
“Husband, please tell me, what kind of man is Mrs. Qin’s husband?” Su Yunjin asked with a face full of curiosity, while Gu Ya, eating his meal, casually shared a few stories about Mrs. Qin’s husband with his little wife.
Listening as if to a tale, Su Yunjin became more and more enthusiastic, “Husband, you’re saying Mrs. Qin’s husband was once a treacherous official in Donglin? How did he then become the savior of the current Emperor? Also, Mrs. Qin’s husband rose to the rank of Chancellor, why did he resign from such a high position?”
Such a high-ranking position.
Mrs. Qin’s husband actually resigned?
Could it be that Mrs. Qin’s husband didn’t even regard the position of Chancellor as anything special?
Su Yunjin fired away with question after question, to which Gu Ya had only heard rumors–whether they were true or not, he wasn’t entirely sure himself.
“Yunjin, this is all I know,” Gu Ya said, overwhelmed by his little wife’s plethora of inquiries, all concerning the affairs of others.
Actually, Gu Ya was aware of additional rumors, but he chose not to continue. It wasn’t in his nature to meddle in others’ affairs.
If it weren’t for his little wife’s curiosity, Gu Ya wouldn’t have shared these things with her. As Gu Ya didn’t continue, Su Yunjin was left somewhat unsatisfied.
Gu Ya continued with his meal, and the topic was dropped. Su Yunjin’s thoughts then fully returned to the matters of opening their shop.
There was still much to prepare for the shop’s opening at the start of the month, but fortunately, now that Gu Ya was relieved from his duty at Hongyun Building, he could constantly be at her side to help.
The items Su Yunjin needed to purchase were listed on a piece of paper the night before, and Gu Ya accompanied her to buy them. Two days later, almost everything was bought, except for the firecrackers. For the auspicious and festive opening day of the shop, they definitely planned to get a couple of strings of firecrackers to set off.
Gu Ya went to buy the firecrackers while Su Yunjin tidied up the shop, checking for anything they might have missed and making sure everything was in order.
“Little sister.” As Su Yunjin busied herself in the shop, she heard the voice of Su Ningxiu from behind and turned to see her second sister coming in from outside the shop.
Her face brightened with joy, Su Yunjin walked over to Su Ningxiu with a smile, “Second sister, what brings you here?” She looked past Ningxiu as she asked.
There was no sign of Mrs. Shen and the others.
Su Yunjin then asked, “Second sister, why are you alone? Where’s Mother? Why didn’t they come with you?” Su Ningxiu seemed shy and timid,
Blushing for a while.
Finally, she shyly confessed to Su Yunjin, “Little sister, I’ve found out who the man is who’s been sending things to our family.”
