Chapter 154: Chapter 105: None of These Smell Like Gu Lan

Only candied fruit left?

The candied fruit Mrs. Wang makes is better than what this shop sells. She only came to buy candy.

Gu Lan sighed helplessly and casually asked, "How could it all be bought out?"

This candy store isn’t that popular; she just likes the hard candy beans a lot. It’s truly inconsiderate of the person who bought it all.

"Indeed, it’s strange," said the store clerk, expressing confusion. "That young man wore a bamboo hat and a mask, very mysterious."

Gu Lan suddenly looked up, "What color was the mask?"

"Silver," the clerk replied.

"He just bought it? Which way did he go?"

"He bought it about half an hour ago, seemed to head west."

The next moment, the clerk realized that Young Master Gu had already dashed away, disappearing from sight.

Oh, today she must catch this sneaky candy buyer.

Gu Changting hurriedly grabbed Gu Lan, "Brother Lan, where are you going?"

"To find someone," Gu Lan replied. "You take these folks for a walk around the Magpie Workshop, look for Miss Du Ruo, or Xiang Yuan, and have them charge triple the price."

"Oh, okay," Gu Changting nodded, but suddenly sensed something amiss, "Wait! Where is the Magpie Workshop?"

Gu Lan paused, teasingly in her eyes, "You don’t know where the Magpie Workshop is?"

"Do I need to know?"

The next moment, upon learning from a colleague that the Magpie Workshop was a brothel, Gu Changting was stunned, "Brother Lan, how do you know that? How are you so familiar with it!"

Colleague: "He’s the Young Master Gu who keeps a hundred beauties at home, what do you think."

When the Eldest Prince Duoji and the Second Prince Jiang Qu of the Qiangrong, after spending a large sum of silver taels, finally figured out the situation, they found that Young Master Gu was already gone.

"Where’s Uncle?" the Eldest Prince Duoji searched around for Gu Lan, calling him uncle as if it were natural.

Jiang Qu glanced at the surrounding people and said, "Brother, do you really consider that fair-skinned face your uncle? Along the way, she was clearly colluding with these Yan Country troublemakers to deceive us."

Duoji: "And you only realized now?"

Jiang Qu’s narrow eyes narrowed, "Brother knew all along? Then why listen to her?"

Duoji said, "To let them destroy themselves, I needed Gu Lan to underestimate us, so Dayan would drop their guard.

Besides, Yanjing City is so prosperous. It’s said to have just recovered from a flood, showing how flourishing Dayan’s fortune is. To defeat them, we must plan carefully."

Jiang Qu’s expression grew more somber, "Brother wants to plan carefully, but now, I have an opportunity for once and for all."

"Jiang Qu, what do you intend to do?" Duoji glanced at Gu Changting in the distance, asking in a lowered voice.

Jiang Qu said, "The Dingyuan Marquis of Dayan has only Gu Lan as a son. I’ve just observed, and she has no guards around."

"Nonsense, Jiang Qu, this is in Yanjing City, the capital of Dayan. You intend to act against Gu Lan; do you not want to return alive?" Duoji’s eyes widened, speaking sternly.

Jiang Qu replied coldly with a smile, "We are not the only ones who want to get rid of him."

Saying that, he called a subordinate over and whispered, "We’ve had enough fun, let’s make a move."

Rong Heng walked along the road, carrying several funnel-shaped oil paper bags folded at the bottom, filled with various candy beans.

He unconsciously adjusted his bamboo hat, then couldn’t help himself, removing his mask to sneakily eat one, two, three pieces.

"Crunch crunch—"

The hard candy being chewed to pieces in the mouth was a pleasant sound.

Rong Heng searched throughout Yanjing City before finding the candy shop where Gu Lan bought the candy beans. Instantly, a famished Fifth Young Master Rong bought out the entire candy stock at the shop, inadvertently spending the money meant for rice.

As he ate candy, he headed towards Yong’an Street.

Originally, it was Wei Chengyuan’s home, but now he had Lin He place Jiu there to recuperate.

Rong Heng needed to visit Jiu to ask where he usually hid his private savings.

Normally, Jiu collected the palace allowances, and food rationing was common, so Jiu often bought rice to cook. Now that Jiu had left the palace, Rong Heng had to handle it himself.

Rong Heng frowned, thinking, is there a Ghost Doctor as poor as him? Having to ask subordinates for money? Today’s candy money even came from Lin He.

One tangerine candy, with its sweet and sour taste, entered his mouth, and Rong Heng barely managed a faint smile, temporarily lifting his mood.

Rong Heng continued walking until he saw a few vegetable stalls.

He felt the last few coins in his pocket, bought some cabbage and a block of tofu, and after a thought, added a green onion and some seasoning.
