The old woman’s expression was tense. After turning two alleys, she finally entered the back door of a mansion with the surnZhou.
Then, she passed through the corridor and hurriedly walked towards the Snow Blowing Garden. On the way, she encountered a maidservant who asked her a question. She did not bother to answer and only handed the basket to her. She had already entered the courtyard.
There was only one woman in the room. She was dressed in gold and jade and was lazily leaning against the couch, eating peaches.
Seeing her rush in, she raised her eyebrows slightly. “Mrs. Ren, what’s wrong with you? Look at how flustered you are.”

When the woman heard this, she immediately straightened her body and frowned slightly. She did not even bother to eat the peach.
“Are you serious? Is that portrait really the sas Gu Dafeng’s?”
Mrs. Ren thought for a moment. “It’s a little different. There’s a scar missing from that portrait.”
The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and frowned thoughtfully.
“Who would look for them? Is there anyone they know in Xuanhe Prefecture? By the surnof Ke?”
She thought for a moment and instructed Mrs. Ren, “Go and find out who that family in Fish Rice Alley is.”
“Alright.”
Mrs. Ren turned around and was about to leave when the woman stopped her. “Wait, be quiet. Don’t expose yourself. Also, go to the backyard and give the order. From today onwards, she’s not allowed to walk around casually. She’s not allowed to leave the Zhou family.”
“Alright.”
After Mrs. Ren left, the woman no longer had the mood to eat. She just waited anxiously for news from Mrs. Ren.
It was only when the sky was about to turn dark that Mrs. Ren returned. However, from her expression, it did not seem to be going well.
“I’ve asked around. The Ke family in Fish Rice Alley only has a widow whose husband has died. She has lived in Fish Rice Alley for many years. It’s just that I don’t know where this woman has gone recently. I asked the neighbors around and they said that she left after the New Year. I asked in detail, and the neighbors asked about my identity. I couldn’t say it directly, so I said that I was an old friend of that woman. In the end, the neighbors seemed to be suspicious and askedto go to the Nie Manor to look for Young Master Nie.”

Mrs. Ren sighed. “Our Zhou family has just arrived at the Xuanhe Prefecture and our foundation is unstable. It’s difficult for Old Master to get in touch with the Nie family. If we offend the Nie family, Old Master will probably be furious. It’s not good forto ask around, so I cback.”
The woman’s expression turned ugly. She secretly scolded Mrs. Ren for being useless, but she suppressed it and did not say anything.
After a while, she said, “I didn’t expect Gu Dafeng to get close to the Nie family. Don’t let anyone know about this, especially Master. Also, find someone to put up another notice on the wall when no one is paying attention at night. At least cover half of that portrait for me.”
“I’ll do it now.”
Seeing her leave, the woman beceven more frustrated. After a while, she finally couldn’t help but go to the backyard…
Gu Yundong did not know that the Eldest Aunt Gu she was looking for was in Xuanhe Manor. As soon as she finished her dinner, Aunt Ke pulled her over for a heart-to-heart talk.
The two of them entered Aunt Ke’s house.. The moment they entered, Aunt Ke asked with a dark expression, “What exactly are your plans for Miss Shen? She’d just stay at home?”
