I want to make progress

They returned to Beijing easily, but she was different, as all her wealth was here!

Probably because she became Gu Changheng's concubine, her courtyard was not searched by the house-raiding people. In order to sell her daughters at a good price, her stepfather and stepmother also invested money, so there was still some profit, and she had to take it all away.

Apart from anything else, she would have to bring some clothes and daily necessities along the way, especially here in Darong. It is inconvenient to travel far away. If she doesn't prepare everything well, her life along the way will be difficult.

Fortunately, this was not a problem for her. She had not counted on Gu Changheng in the first place. After discovering this, she only asked Yuyan to walk around in front of Qixian, and immediately a carriage for luggage appeared. The specifications of the carriage were also improved several times.

Now that she had the hardware conditions, she would not compromise herself. She took with her the things she was used to and did not want to exchange, and sold everything else that could be sold for silver. Until the day of departure, the room was really empty.

"This carriage is really nice. It's much bigger and more comfortable than the first one."

The two of them got on the carriage for their departure. As soon as they got on, Yuyan expressed her appreciation for the carriage that could accommodate the luggage they had prepared. Not only that, the seats were also padded with soft cushions, and on the cushions were cool mats, which also had pillows.

When I opened the secret compartment in the car, I found a lot of snacks such as candied fruits, as well as small tools such as teapots and charcoal fires. It was really thoughtful.

"Yes, it's really not comfortable on the road in this hot weather."

Sitting on the cool mat, Shu Yunfu smiled brightly, "It seems that Qixian really put his heart into it."

"It's not the seven strings that are attentive, but..." Yuyan lowered her voice and smiled like a little mouse who successfully stole oil, "The Duke is attentive!"

"That's nothing. It's just a matter of saying a few words to him. Don't be bought off by such small favors. You have to have a long-term vision."

She raised her chin proudly. Why did she risk such a great danger to pester Gu Changting? It was just so that he could play a role at this time!

"How's your brother doing? When will he catch up with us?"

The carriage started slowly. He opened the window and watched the mansion where he had lived for sixteen years slowly disappear into the distance. His eyes were calm, without the slightest reluctance.

She never had any warm memories or concerns left here.

"We are in a hurry to leave. Business is easy to handle, but those shops are not. There are several shops. If we sell them in a hurry, we are afraid that the price will be lowered. Brother said that the capital is a place with high land prices. Miss has more places to spend money after entering the capital. If you can collect more silver, you can collect more. It will only take a few more days, probably half a month. Don't worry, Miss, brother can handle it."

A small wooden table was set up in the car. Yuyan replied while serving a few plates of snacks. "It's a pity for those businesses. They were so prosperous and made a lot of money. It's a pity to close them."

"There's nothing to regret." He picked up a piece of dried fruit with his fingertips. "Xuancheng is too far from the capital, and it's hard to manage. You and your brother are the only people I can trust. No one can stay in Xuancheng. It's better to close it early and open it in the capital. Our products are good, so we won't have to worry about poor business in the capital."

"We have made a lot of money over the years, so we are not short of money. The most important thing now is that..."

Lifting a corner of the car curtain, Shu Yunfu's eyes fell on the handsome man riding the horse through the gap, with a seductive smile in the corner of her eyes. It turned out that he was the man she had her eyes on, so outstanding that he was shining!

Feeling the burning gaze behind him, Gu Changting did not turn back, but his back became straighter.

"Brother, am I really going back like this?"

Gu Changheng, who was standing by, had no idea what was happening under his nose, nor did he doubt his perfect cousin. He just went back to the capital with a sullen face and was very unwilling.

"You've captured so many people, what else can you be dissatisfied about? You even brought back a confidante. No one in this line of work has gained more than you."

Glancing at him, Gu Changting's face had no extra expression. He did not choose to get angry in Xuancheng about his cousin's suicidal behavior. He just suppressed his anger and waited until he returned to the capital to settle the matter together.

If one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer. Since he dares to use the life and death of the entire Duke's Mansion to pay for his love, he must be prepared for the consequences.

I used to think that this cousin was too cowardly to be a man because he was willing to die for a woman, but at least he had some brains and ability. But now it seems that there is no one more stupid than him.

"Hey... just a concubine."

After being choked, Gu Changheng just glanced coldly at the carriage behind him, full of contempt.

"That's not what I'm talking about. Although we have arrested many people in Xuancheng, could it be that these officials in Xuancheng are just small minions who have been pushed out? So much embezzled money has not been found yet. There must be people above them, and..."

"Those who went to the capital to file a complaint said that someone arranged for them to go to the capital to file a complaint and appeal for justice. We still don't know who is behind this. I have a feeling that there must be something big going on here, but now we are just leaving like this. I am unwilling to accept this!"

"Are you finished?"

In sharp contrast to his excited appearance, if Gu Changheng is a volcano about to erupt, then Gu Changting is the icy lake, calm and cold.

"I know everything you said." He pulled the reins with his hands, the curve of his mouth did not change, and he did not even look at Gu Changheng, "But how big do you think the interest group behind this is, and how high the status of the people involved is..."

Turning her head to look at him, the clear eyes made Gu Changheng, who was in a rage, feel as if a basin of ice water had been poured over him. He instantly calmed down, "Do you think you can do whatever you want with the help of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion? Even the Emperor cannot do whatever he wants!"

"As for the mysterious person who is pushing this case, he must have his own purpose. Even if we can't find him now, he will show up sooner or later. Judging from his current behavior, he is not an enemy, so why should I get to the bottom of it?"

The Xuancheng corruption case was originally a secret matter. There was no dam burst and no people suffered. However, it was exposed by an accountant on a construction site.

Under bright daylight, when all the officials and the emperor were discussing matters in the court, the drum was struck to bring the matter before the emperor.

Throughout the dynasties, the drum of reporting has been sounded countless times, but every time it was either an earth-shattering event or a huge injustice. This case, however, did not reach that level at all. Everyone could see that there was a hand behind this.
