As soon as he entered the door, the gatekeeper went to look for the butler in a hurry.

The butler also felt that something was wrong. Could it be that Steward Zhou wanted to harm Old Master?

He was also afraid and quickly went to report to Mrs. Zhou. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing the words, Mrs. Zhou sprang up from her chair. She was thinking more than the housekeeper. Butler Zhou was on good terms with Mrs. Ren and worked for Concubine Gu, but now…

Mrs. Xu also thought of it and whispered into Mrs. Zhou’s ear, “Madam, the waiter at the teahouse said that he brought two women there. Could these two be Gu Qiuyue and Mrs. Ren?”

“It must be them.” Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth. “The gatekeeper didn’t see Steward Zhou go out from the front door, so he must have gone out from the back door. Good, very good. I didn’t expect these two to still have the strength to jump around. Nanny Xu, get someone to tie up the old woman who was guarding the back door today and go to Snow Blowing Garden to see if Gu Qiuyue brought Old Master to her place.”

Mrs. Xu hurriedly did as she was told. Not long after, she came back panting with a look of panic on her face. “Madam, Gu Qiuyue didn’t come back, and Master didn’t come back either. The old woman guarding the back door said that she would only let them out, but they didn’t come back.”

They didn’t come back??

Mrs. Zhou was flabbergasted. She thought that Steward Zhou had taken advantage of the fact that Old Master was drunk to deliberately bring her back from the back door and send her to Gu Qiuyue’s bed.

Mrs. Zhou realized that the matter had become serious. After walking around the house twice, she said in a low voice, “They haven’t returned to the residence. Master is still drunk. Where are they taking Master and what are they doing? Let me think. I have to think about where they will go.”

“There are the same number of carriages in the stable, so they shouldn’t be too far away. Gu Qiuyue doesn’t have anywhere else to go in the prefectural city. She doesn’t even have a place to stay. Where else can she go?” Nanny Xu was also puzzled.

Mrs. Zhou could not figure it out either. After a moment, she could only order, “Go out and search. It’s only been a while. They can’t be far. Look around here. Go personally. Hurry.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Nanny Xu brought a group of servants out of the main courtyard. The butler was also at the door. He ordered a few people to go to the left. He nodded at Nanny Xu and brought a few people to the right.

As for Nanny Xu, she strode forward.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, someone suddenly ran towards her in a hurry and bumped into her.

“Aiyo, be careful…” Nanny Xu cried out in pain. Just as she was about to scold someone, she felt something stuffed into her palm.

She was stunned. Tong Shuitao, who had bumped into her, had already lowered her head and apologized repeatedly in a low voice. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I had an urgent matter and offended you.”

Then, she ran away quickly.

From the beginning to the end, Nanny Xu did not have time to see her face clearly. She only knew that the other party was a woman and seemed to be quite old?

Even after the stranger had run far away, she still stood rooted to the ground.

Someone called out to her softly. Nanny Xu suddenly came back to her senses, but she did not continue walking.

She pinched the soft note in her palm and walked to the side before slowly unfolding it.

With just one look, Nanny Xu widened her eyes in shock and gasped in disbelief.

“Nanny Xu, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?” An old woman beside her asked.

However, Mrs. Xu suddenly closed the note. After taking a deep breath, as if she did not believe it, she unfolded the note and read it again.
