Chapter 470: Please ask Guo Fengmin 1
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye. Dugu Jingyao sent someone to invite Guo Fengmin to come and have a chat as planned. However, unexpectedly, only one of the people sent out returned alone.
Dugu Jingyao asked suspiciously, "What happened? Why did you come back alone?" Her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were fixed on the maid in front of her, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
The maid hurriedly replied respectfully: "Princess, I will follow your order and go to the Guo Mansion to invite Miss Guo. But when I arrived at the Guo Mansion, the servant of the Guo Mansion told me that Miss Guo has been ill recently and is unable to go out to keep the appointment." After saying this, the maid cautiously raised her head and glanced at Dugu Jingyao's face, secretly wondering how her master would react next.
After hearing this, Dugu Jingyao pondered for a moment and understood the reason. It must have been Guo Ziyi and his wife's conversation with Guo Fengmin, and Guo Fengmin had failed to heed their advice. Consequently, Guo Ziyi and his wife resorted to drastic measures, placing Guo Fengmin under house arrest and declaring her ill.
This way, Guo Fengmin could be prevented from causing unnecessary trouble while out, and the situation could be temporarily stabilized. Thinking of this, Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but sigh softly, secretly lamenting that this matter might be a bit tricky to handle.
However, she recalled Guo Fengmin's character, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly and said, "Okay, I understand. You can go down first." The maid bowed and retreated after hearing this.
After the maid left, Dugu Jingyao instructed Si Jian, "Si Jian, go and guard the back door of the Guo Mansion."
Si Jian was very confused when he heard this and asked, "Ah? Why? Didn't they say that Miss Guo was ill and couldn't leave the house? What's the point of me going there?"
Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Based on my understanding of her, she definitely won't stay in the mansion like that. She will most likely find a way to escape. You are near the Guo Mansion. If she escapes, remember to bring her back quietly and don't let anyone find out."
Si Jian said as if she suddenly understood something: "Is that so... I understand. I'll go right away!" After that, she left in a hurry.
Sure enough, after dark, Si Jian finally saw someone sneaking out from a very hidden dog hole. Although this person was wearing a maid's clothes, this furtive look aroused Si Jian's suspicion.
After the "maid" crawled out of the dog hole, Si Jian quietly followed her from behind, ready to see what was going on.
After all, Guo Fengmin was Guo Ziyi's eldest daughter, so she was naturally not a pushover. Not long after she left, she found someone following her.
She suddenly increased her speed, catching Si Jian off guard. Guo Fengmin dodged into an alley and hid.
Si Jian was a little annoyed about how she had lost him! But she remembered a tip Dugu Jingyao had given her: "Feng Min is very clever. She also started practicing martial arts with Guo Ziyi when she was very young, so if you follow her, she will probably find you. But it doesn't matter. If you suddenly lose her, just pretend you did and keep going. Hide somewhere she can't see you and wait for her to continue walking. But remember, you have to hide where she can see you."
Thinking of this, she pretended to be looking for someone, waiting for an opportunity to see where to hide nearby. Sure enough, she soon found a suitable hiding place and waited quietly.
After waiting for a while, Guo Fengmin found that the person who had just followed her seemed to be gone, so she quietly stuck her head out and looked around. There was no one she was looking for, so she went out again and continued to move forward.
Not long after walking forward, someone suddenly covered Guo Fengmin's mouth and nose and dragged her into an alley.
She was no pushover, and immediately threw her over the shoulder. However, Si Jian was also experienced in combat, so she held onto Guo Fengmin's shoulders and said, "Miss Guo, I am Si Jian, a maidservant to Princess Guangping."
Guo Fengmin withdrew her strength upon hearing this, turned around and looked at Si Jian and said, "Are you Sister Jingyao's maid? Then why are you following me?"
Si Jian then bowed and said, "Miss Guo, my princess invites you."
When Guo Fengmin heard this, she probably knew why Dugu Jingyao wanted to talk to her, but she wanted to see what Dugu Jingyao had to say. After all, she was now the eldest sister-in-law of Li Xi. Would she know more about Li Xi than her own parents?
With such anticipation, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Si Jian made a "please" gesture and then led the way. The two of them walked along the small path to the back door of Prince Guangping's Mansion, quietly entered the mansion, and came to Wangyuexuan.
