Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 193 Anxious Chu Xiaoyi

After returning to the mansion, Chu Xiaoyi rested for a while before heading to Qingfeng Pavilion for a visit. Dugu Xin knew the purpose of Chu Xiaoyi's visit very well, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly summoned Xunfeng.

Xunfeng walked quickly into the room, bowed and greeted the two adults. After Dugu Xin gestured for him to stand, Chu Xiaoyi's eyes fell on Xunfeng and he said, "Xunfeng, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to make another trip. If possible, I hope you can arrange to accompany my wife to inspect the two mansions again tomorrow..."

Upon hearing this, Xun Feng quickly responded respectfully, "Master Chu, you are too kind. This is all within my responsibility. I wonder if tomorrow morning or afternoon would be more suitable?"

Chu Xiaoyi pondered for a moment, remembering how his wife had once complained about his procrastination and inefficiency. He decided that this time he had to demonstrate his efficiency! After a brief consideration, he made a decisive decision: "If it's feasible, then let's schedule all the meetings in the morning!"

Xunfeng accepted the order and said "yes", then bowed again, turned around and walked out of the hall, and immediately started to contact relevant matters.

Afterwards, Chu Xiaoyi and Dugu Xin continued their conversation for a while. During the conversation, Chu Xiaoyi secretly thought to himself, "Looking at this situation, Xunfeng probably won't be back so soon." With this in mind, he decided to say goodbye to Dugu Xin first, and then return to Mo Yuxuan to wait for news.

However, unexpectedly, Xun Feng truly lived up to his name. Although Chu Xiaoyi had originally thought it would take him more time, in reality, after only about two quarters of an hour, Xun Feng had already successfully arranged a meeting with the current owners of the two houses for tomorrow morning.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xunfeng explained that he was bringing the mistress with him to inspect the house. The two owners expressed their understanding. After all, in most families, the mistress often holds the financial reins. So, they agreed without hesitation, displaying a remarkably positive attitude.

Xunfeng galloped back to the Prince of Guangping's mansion, and without stopping, he headed straight for Mo Yuxuan. Xiao He had already been waiting there. Seeing Xunfeng's return, he didn't try to stop him as usual, but led him inside without hesitation. Clearly, Xiao He knew his master was anxiously awaiting news from Xunfeng.

Chu Xiaoyi, who was inside the room, was fidgeting like an ant on a hot pan, his heart hanging in the air. When he saw Xiao He and Xun Feng walk into the room together, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, Xun Feng? Did you get the invitation?"

Xun Feng quickly bowed and replied, "My Lord, I have lived up to your trust and have already made arrangements with the owners of the two houses to meet at 11:00 AM and 11:00 PM respectively tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this answer, Chu Xiaoyi's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile. He then turned his gaze towards Xunfeng and said sincerely, "Xunfeng, I really want to thank you very much this time! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Xun Feng hurriedly bowed again and humbly responded, "Your Excellency is too kind. These are all my duties, and I truly do not deserve such gratitude."

After saying this, he prepared to say goodbye to Chu Xiaoyi, saying, "My Lord, now that the mission is accomplished, I will return to Qingfeng Pavilion first."

Before he finished speaking, he just turned around, but Chu Xiaoyi quickly gave Xiao He a look. Xiao He understood and immediately followed Xun Feng and left the room together.

Xiao He followed Xun Feng without saying a word, all the way to Mo Yuxuan's door. They both remained silent the entire way, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.

Finally, Xun Feng lost his temper and broke the silence, saying, "Alright, Brother Xiao He, if you keep following me like this, I'm afraid you'll have to escort me back to Qingfeng Pavilion! There's really no need to see me off, just go back!"

At this moment, Xiao He suddenly took out a heavy ingot of silver and stuffed it into Xun Feng's hand in the blink of an eye.

Xun Feng didn't even have time to react. He only heard Xiao He say briefly and forcefully, "This is the order of the Marquis." Before he finished speaking, Xiao He disappeared without a trace like lightning, as if he had never appeared. Xun Feng was left standing there alone, at a loss as to what to do by the sudden situation.

Looking at the direction where Xiao He left, Xun Feng sighed in his heart: "Brother Xiao He is really as taciturn and frugal with words as before!" After smiling helplessly, he shook his head gently, turned around and walked towards Qingfeng Pavilion.

After arriving at Qingfeng Pavilion, Xunfeng first went to pay his respects to Dugu Xin and reported to him: "Your Majesty, the mission has been successfully completed." Then, he carefully took out the silver ingot from his arms and handed it to Dugu Xin, explaining: "This was something that the Marquis ordered Xiao He to hand over to me, but Xiao He hurriedly fled after throwing the silver, and I couldn't even utter a word of excuse..."

Dugu Xin smiled and said, "Hahaha, since the Marquis of Zhennan is willing to give it to you, just take it!" After hearing Dugu Xin's words, Xunfeng calmly accepted the silver ingot.

Dugu Xin said again: "Okay, there's nothing to do here for now, you can go and rest."

Xun Feng then bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will withdraw first!" Dugu Xin nodded slightly and turned to leave.

On the other side, Chu Xiaoyi knew that he could take his wife to see the house tomorrow morning, so he immediately took Xiao He to find Li Chu. At this moment, Li Chu was in his Chenxiang Pavilion.

After finding out where Li Chu was, Chu Xiaoyi went to Chenxiang Pavilion. A servant at the door saw Chu Xiaoyi coming and went to greet him: "Greetings to the Marquis!"

Chu Xiaoyi asked, "Is your Highness here?"

The servant said respectfully, "Yes, please wait a moment, I will go and report." The servant led Chu Xiaoyi and Xiao He into the courtyard, and then went to report.

After just a cup of tea, the servant came out and said, "My lord, our prince invites you to meet him in the main hall." As he said that, he made a "please" gesture and led the two of them to the main hall.

Not long after they sat down, Li Chu came hurriedly: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long."

Chu Xiaoyi was in a very good mood and just waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just got here too."

After Li Chu sat down, he asked, "I wonder why my uncle wants to see me?"

Chu Xiaoyi said, "Oh, I've asked Xunfeng to arrange for a visit to the house tomorrow morning. I'd also like to ask Chu'er to pass on a message to the palace, instructing them to pick up your aunt and your cousin at the palace gate at 3:30 am tomorrow to see the house."

Li Chu smiled and agreed: "Okay, I will send someone to deliver the letter to the palace."

The two smiled at each other, drank tea, and talked for a while. Then Chu Xiaoyi left with Xiao He.

After Chu Xiaoyi left, Li Chu instructed, "Feng Shengyi, go to the palace and deliver a message stating that my uncle will be at the gate to meet my aunt and cousin at 3:30 AM tomorrow. Please ask them to prepare in advance."

Feng Shengyi agreed and left to deliver the letter to the palace.
