Chapter 657: Simply a Tragedy

Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Aunt Ke had been coming to the Gu residence every day for the past few days, she would still return to her own courtyard at night.

When Gu Yundong came out, she had just put down the basket in her hand. There were some dates in the basket. They were bright red and looked very sweet.

Aunt Ke handed the basket to Madam Niu. When she looked up and saw Gu Yundong looking at her, she raised her eyebrows. “What’s the matter? Are you looking for me?”

“Aunt is still so smart.”

“Don’t flatter me.” Aunt Ke glanced at her from the corner of her eye, then stroked Little Yunke’s head. She stuffed a date into her mouth. After hearing the girl sweetly call her Aunt, she retracted her hand in satisfaction and said to Gu Yundong, “Speak.”

Gu Yundong led her inside. As they walked, she told her what happened yesterday.

After Aunt Ke heard this, she asked, “You want me to go to the Nie family to find someone to support you?”

Gu Yundong chuckled and walked behind her to massage her shoulders. “Aunt Ke, you’ve always pitied us siblings. You know that it hasn’t been easy for me. Opening a shop and doing business is like fighting a war. It’s especially difficult, especially since I have no backing or background and can only fight alone from scratch. It’s simply a tragedy. You’re wise and mighty…”

“Stop, shut up. Your hypocritical words give me a headache.” Tragedy? She had never seen anyone do business like her.

How long had it been? Her shop had already arrived in the prefectural city and was doing business with the Imperial Court. How could this be called fighting alone without a background? Who would believe her?

Gu Yundong coughed lightly. “I’m telling the truth. I really don’t have any foundation in the prefectural city. I only know Nie Cong in the Nie family. Even though I send something to the Nie family during the new year, how many people in the Nie family know of my existence? But Nie Cong isn’t in the Xuanhe Prefecture, so I’ll have to trouble you, Aunt.”

Aunt Ke glanced at her. “Alright, I understand. I’ll go look for the Nie family.”

“Actually, there’s no need to find a young miss or young master. Just find a steward who often walks outside.” Those people might not know the young miss and young master of the Nie Family, but they were more familiar with the steward.

Aunt Ke snorted. “I know, I know. I know what I’m doing.”

Gu Yundong immediately massaged her shoulders even harder. Aunt Ke frowned and despised her. “Go, go, go. You’re just a young lady. Why are you so strong? My bones are about to be crushed by you. Go away and bring Keke in. I don’t need you.”

Gu Yundong was speechless. She was not very strong, right? Compared to Tong Shuitao, she was far weaker.

Sigh, this was the disadvantage of being old. If she was not fragrant and soft enough, she would be despised.

Therefore, Gu Yundong let go of her. She ran to the courtyard and picked up Little Yunke, who was eating. She carried her into the central room and stuffed her into Aunt Ke’s arms.

Little Yunke was dumbfounded. She looked at her eldest sister blankly and then at Aunt Ke behind her. What happened??

Gu Yundong had already turned around and left. She still had many things to do.

Aunt Ke rested at the Gu residence for about an hour before she planned to make a trip to the Nie family.

Gu Yundong asked Tong Shuitao to drive her there.

Aunt Ke did not refuse. The journey to the Nie family was not short.

Just as she got into the carriage and walked out of the alley, a group of people turned around from another direction and entered the alley.
