“Sui brother, I also brought a letter from Aunt Gu. She was as worried about you as I was, but unfortunately, she couldn’t leave the capital casually, so she let me come to see you.”

Li Fuyu handed him the letter. As Gu Sui took it, he couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.

When he had chased Mu Jingya all the way to Liangzhou, there had been some impulsiveness involved. Now that he had been ordered by the young emperor to lead the Gu family army to guard here, Gu Tingsong would surely be displeased.

Wow, he was a bit afraid to open it. What should he do?

Never mind, he’d let his baby read it to him tonight.

Gu Sui temporarily put away the letter, and Li Fuyu took the opportunity to steal a few glances at Ying Xuanyue.

The woman, now wearing the fifth-rank white pheasant official uniform, looked more valiant than her previous gentle demeanor, and more eye-catching.

Gu Sui noticed his gaze and curled his lips.

“How long does Fuyu plan to stay? Where are you staying?”

Li Fuyu hurriedly withdrew his gaze, his expression somewhat hesitant. Ying Xuanyue, standing to the side, tactfully spoke up.

“The young general and County Lord Li are discussing family matters. I’ll take my leave first. Being new here, I still have some luggage to unpack and organize.”

Gu Sui: “That’s fine. The prefect’s residence is in Yuanlin Lane. It has been renovated recently. I’ll have Zheng Wan take you there. Governor Ying, please rest well. We’ll hold a welcoming banquet for you tomorrow.”

“Thank you, young general. I’ll take my leave.”

After Zheng Wan left with Ying Xuanyue, Li Fuyu could finally speak freely.

“Sui brother, I’ve come this time with all my assets. I plan to do business in Liangzhou!”

Gu Sui: “?”

“So suddenly?”

“Didn’t Sui brother teach me to be proactive? As it happens, my father’s dowry includes a shop in Liangzhou, which has some connections with Chaoyang City. I heard that Chaoyang City has recently changed hands and the situation has changed. I can seize this opportunity!”

Gu Sui: “……”

Kid, Chaoyang City hasn’t just changed its situation, the city lord is your aunt!

Li Fuyu was very decisive in his actions. When he heard that Ying Xuanyue was coming to Liangzhou to take office, he followed along, determined to make a career in Liangzhou.

Gu Sui put his arm around his shoulder and said boldly.

“Fuyu is quite ambitious. Don’t worry, go ahead and do it. If you have any problems, come find me. I’ll sort them out for you!”

Gu Sui had taught him how to do business before and knew he had some talent. It’s just that in this world, being a man had some limitations. Now that he had this idea, Gu Sui would naturally help him.

Li Fuyu was moved and looked at Gu Sui with increasing admiration.

“I have something I want to trouble Sui brother with right now.”

“Hm?”

“Can you help me look for a house in Yuanlin Lane? I have money, you don’t need to spend anything, Sui brother.”

Li Fuyu looked at him earnestly. Gu Sui knew his intention as soon as he heard it and teased him with a smile.

“Only Yuanlin Lane? There’s an empty house next to mine. Doesn’t Fuyu want to take a look?”

“Sui brother.”

He started to act coquettishly. Gu Sui laughed out loud.

“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll have Sui Yu take a look. I’ll let you know when there’s news.”

“Sui brother is the best. Then before I buy a house, can I stay at Sui brother’s place?”

“Sure…”

Gu Sui was about to agree when he suddenly remembered that there was a city lord hidden in his home who couldn’t be seen, and he began to hesitate.

“Sui brother?”

“How about I talk to Ying Xuanyue and ask her to take you in for a few days?”

Li Fuyu’s eyes looked a bit dazed: “Do we need to be that proactive?”

Gu Sui coughed lightly behind his hand and said seriously.

“Being roommates is a crucial part of making things happen. I went through this too. Listen to me, you won’t go wrong. I’ll just say that the place where I live is old and in disrepair, the house leaks when it rains. She’ll definitely take you in.”

Li Fuyu listened in confusion. What did he mean by being roommates?

Even under the same roof, they wouldn’t possibly share the same room, right?

It would be quite embarrassing.

But thinking of sister Yue’s gentle and jade-like face, Li Fuyu’s cheeks began to heat up. It seemed not impossible.

Since Sui brother said so, it must be right. Listen to Sui brother!

Gu Sui went to Yuanlin Lane and explained his intentions. Ying Xuanyue was surprised at first, but quickly composed herself and nodded in agreement.

Gu Sui successfully arranged for his good friend and his sweetheart to become roommates, and leisurely returned home, swinging the tassels around his waist.

As soon as he entered the door, he was embraced fully.

“Wow, Mu Jiulu, you’re going to scare me to death!”

“Sui Sui went out for so long and only came back when it got dark. I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that someone was waiting for you at home.”

Gu Sui’s lips twitched slightly: “Don’t think I don’t know you sneaked out and followed me in secret.”

Mu Jiulu chuckled lightly, her voice rippling: “Ah, Sui Sui discovered it.”

“Hmph.” Gu Sui took out the letter written by Gu Tingsong from his bosom and stuffed it into her hand.

“As punishment, read it to me.”

Mu Jiulu took the envelope but sighed.

“Why am I being punished? I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s Sui Sui who doesn’t know to come home early, you should be punished.”

Gu Sui wrinkled his nose at her, looking fierce.

“I’m punishing you, just punishing you. Read it quickly!”

Mu Jiulu resignedly opened the letter, and at a glance, her temple couldn’t help but twitch.

Gu Sui became a bit nervous seeing her expression.

“What does it say? It’s not scolding me, is it!”

Wow, what if mother is angry? Scared.JPG.

Mu Jiulu rubbed his little head and said helplessly.

“It’s not scolding you, it’s scolding me.”

The thick stack of letters, as many as six pages, half of which were harshly scolding her, Mu Jiulu, and as for the remaining half, they were all concerns and worries for her dear son.

“Read it, I want to hear.”

Gu Sui was no longer afraid now, excitedly pushing her arm.

Mu Jiulu glanced at him: “Hitting where it hurts, huh, Sui Sui.”

“I don’t care, you read it to me, want to hear, want to hear, want to hear!”

Mu Jiulu: “……”

“Alright, I’ll read. ‘My son, are you well.'”

Gu Sui was stunned: “Why do I feel like you’re taking advantage of me?”

Mu Jiulu’s lips curled slightly, and she continued reading.

“My son has been away for several months, your mother misses you dearly, I wonder if my son…”

“Stop reading!”

Gu Sui sensed something was off and made to snatch the letter back, but Mu Jiulu raised it high, and he couldn’t succeed.

“I wonder if my son misses his mother…”

“Ah, Mu Jiulu!”

Gu Sui raised his voice, wanting to drown out her voice, his whole body pouncing on her, standing on tiptoes trying hard to get the letter back.

“You’re not allowed to read anymore! I’m going to get angry!”
