After getting up early and opening the door, Gu Fei asked Lanzhi to guard the counter, and she went in the direction of Prince Qi Mansion.
This matter cannot be delayed. When Er Laizi meets Housekeeper Wu, he will know that Er Laizi is useless, and who knows what new things will happen.
As long as people live in Ping’an City, they know Prince Qi’s Mansion.
The mansion occupies a whole street, and their servants live in the backstreet.
Gu Fei walked to the backstreet, found an old man sweeping the street, and asked about Housekeeper Wu’s residence.
Housekeeper Wu lived in a three-story house with two black lacquered doors closed.
After passing the gate and walking a short distance, a small door next to it was open.
Gu Fei went over, bowed to the yawning doorman, handed him a piece of silver, and said with a smile: “Hello, little brother. I want to see Housekeeper Wu for something. I wonder if you can pass it on.”
The servant skillfully put the silver into his sleeve: “Tell me where you are from first. So many people who want to see our housekeeper all day long.”
“I am the tenant of Old Man Huang’s store on Furong Street. When you say this, Housekeeper Wu will understand.”
The servant was a little puzzled. When did Housekeeper Wu recognize a tenant? The people who usually came and went here were either officials or wealthy merchants.
But looking at the girl’s appearance, it seems that she was sure that Housekeeper Wu would meet her.
The servant nodded. After receiving the money, it would not be a problem to pass the message: “You wait here, I’ll go in and pass the message.”
The servant went out for half a cup of tea, came out, and waved to Gu Fei: “Go, go, the housekeeper said that he would not see you.”
Gu Fei frowned and asked: “Brother, did you understand what I said just now?”
The servant sneered: “Why didn’t you explain it clearly? The tenant of Old Man Huang’s store in Furong Street, the master, said that he would not see you!”
Gu Fei nodded: “Thank you very much, brother.”
She bowed and turned to leave.
After walking out of the servant’s sight, Gu Fei stood still. She had to see housekeeper Wu today anyway. He had to work in the palace. She would wait here. She didn’t believe she couldn’t wait for him!
Not long after waiting, Gu Fei saw several people coming out of the door from a distance.
The first one was a middle-aged man, wearing a dark blue cloud pattern brocade robe, with a thin figure and sharp eyes.
Almost the moment Gu Fei looked over, the middle-aged man’s eyes swept over.
Gu Fei walked towards him with confidence and bowed to him: “Housekeeper Wu?”
Housekeeper Wu saw that it was a pretty young lady and paused: “You are——”
“I am a tenant of Old Man Huang’s store on Furong Street.” Gu Fei showed a friendly smile.
Housekeeper Wu’s expression suddenly changed, and his eyes stared at Gu Fei gloomily: “It was you who asked for an audience just now? Who gave you the courage to come here?”
Gu Fei lowered her head, with a humble look: “Housekeeper Wu, I came to you helplessly, and I want to ask you to give my shop a way out.”
“I fled to Ping’an City and finally opened an inn. I just want to make a living. I beg you to spare my shop.”
Housekeeper Wu snorted coldly: “Who told you to rent that shop without long eyes? Since you are here, it saves me the effort. I will give you half a day to get the rent back close the door and leave.”
“Otherwise–” He looked at Gu Fei with a look of looking at a dead dog and walked away.
“Housekeeper Wu——” Gu Fei was anxious to catch up.
However, after following him for two steps, a servant behind Housekeeper Wu stopped her and said: “Get away from here. Our housekeeper has so many things to do every day, and so many people are waiting to see him. How can he have time to talk to you, a young lady!”
As the servant said this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Gu Fei. Gu Fei didn’t notice it for a moment and was pushed to the ground by him. Her palm rubbed on the ground, burning with pain.
