At the end of the bamboo-lined path stood a middle-aged scholar with an air of elegance and a kindly smile on his face; it was Zhou Xun, the Gu Family's advisor.
Ever courteous and respectful, Miss Tang stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Zhou, are you looking for me?"
Zhou Xun returned the salutation and approached with a smile, "I just received some news: a bunch of local troublemakers forcibly entered a residence in Jinchang Village—" seeing her face change, he chuckled and added in a gentle tone, "but the house was already empty."
Miss Tang's eyes lit up. "How could there be no one there?"
Zhou Xun chuckled, "That, I don't know. While those ruffians were busy looting, they were caught by some local enforcers and are now on their way to the County Government!"
Miss Tang's expression shifted from surprise to contemplation, then from contemplation back to joy. She gave Zhou Xun a sweet smile, "Mr. Zhou, you've worked hard!"
