Gu Lehuan kept a dark face and didn't speak. He ignored the completely confused Dazhuang and left in a hurry.
Dazhuang looked at the retreating figure with some disappointment and sighed silently in his heart. He wondered if his boss had any other way to deal with this predicament.
Gu Lehuan ran all the way back to the Gu Mansion in one breath. The porter told him that the masters hadn't returned yet, so he could only return to his own courtyard resentfully.
On Xu Nuo's side, after hearing Dazhuang's report upon his return, she couldn't help but zone out a little.
She wondered if her insistence back then was right. If she had really obeyed her mother's arrangement, would it be a completely different situation now?
She shook her head. What was the use of thinking about this now? Being trapped in the backyard like this, relying on servants to go out and buy things, wasn't a long-term solution either.
