Seeing that the carriage was getting further and further away, Yang Wenli turned his head and glared fiercely at the steward. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Can you tell me now? Why did you drag me away? I’m Yang Liu’s brother, not a thief. It’s fine as long as she comes and explain herself. What’s there to be afraid of? Can’t I acknowledge her?"

The steward laughed dryly and hurriedly explained, "Master, I just suddenly remembered how that woman who came to the restaurant with Eldest Miss looked familiar. Previously, on the way to the Xuanhe Prefecture, did we encounter a group of people when we were resting in that teahouse? One of the madams was beside Eldest Miss just now and entered Miss Nie’s private room with her."

Yang Wenli frowned. He really didn’t notice this.

At that time, he was only shocked when he saw Yang Liu. How could he see anyone else?

The steward continued, "I wasn’t sure just now, but now that I see another lady, I’m sure. Master, the group of people we saw back then were obviously not ordinary people. Their families must be rich and powerful. Now that Eldest Miss is on good terms with these people and has an intimate relationship with Eldest Miss Nie, I think her status now is not low..."

Yang Wenli nodded as he listened. Indeed, it was obvious from Eldest Miss Nie’s attitude towards Yang Liu.

Yang Liu was a fool now. If she didn’t have any confidence, who would treat her so well? Not to mention Eldest Miss Nie’s exceptional identity.

Seeing that he had calmed down and thought about it, the butler immediately told him what he was thinking. "I don’t think we need to be in a hurry to acknowledge Eldest Miss. From the looks of it, Eldest Miss doesn’t remember Old Master at all. If we keep pestering her, she will feel disgusted. Why don’t we take a look first and investigate Eldest Miss’s current identity? When the time comes, we can discuss reuniting with Eldest Miss. Perhaps the key to our business with the Nie family is Eldest Miss."

Yang Wenli felt that it made sense. After all, he had a conflict with Yang Liu 18 years ago.

Now that they had reunited, he should be more touched.

Fortunately, Yang Liu could not remember anything. She had completely forgotten what happened back then. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to do things.

Yang Wenli glanced at the faraway carriage again and said to the steward, "I’ll leave the investigation of Yang Liu to you. Do your best."

"Yes, my lord."

When Yang Wenli thought that there was hope for his business with the Nie Family, his expression became cheerful.

However, if Yang Liu’s current status really became powerful, then he wouldn’t have to care about the Nie Family at all. With such a sister, would he be afraid of not having a good life in the future?

Yang Wenli thought about it and returned to the inn with light footsteps.

At this moment, Gu Yundong had already brought a few people back to the small courtyard.

It was still early. It was just past noon, and Shao Qingyuan and Bai Hang had yet to return. Her father, Gu Dajiang, was still studying in the academy.

After Gu Yundong let them in, she immediately took out a brush and paper and asked Keke and Madam Yang, who were standing at the side.

"Mother, Keke, do you still remember what the bad guy you saw looked like?"

Keke immediately nodded. "I remember."

Madam Yang also nodded vigorously. "I remember them even if they turn to ashes."

Gu Yundong was speechless. There was no need to exaggerate.

Looking at how confident the two of them were, she became less confident...

Gu Yundong exhaled and smoothed out the paper. "Come, tell me, what did that person’s eyes and nose look like?"
