Chapter 845: I break out in a cold sweat when I mention her

At noon.

Just when Gu Chan was waiting in the inn, getting a little impatient, a servant of the Chen family finally quietly brought her the golden pass document.

After Gu Chan received the customs clearance document with the endorsement, she checked out immediately and drove away in a carriage with Xuan Xiao and three coachmen.

An hour later, they successfully exited the west gate of Xinyue City and walked along the official road towards the capital of Diyue Kingdom.

At this time, Gu Chan was in an extremely good mood.

Xuan Xiao and the three drivers also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

By evening, when Gu Chan and others had walked more than twenty miles, Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi's carriage had just entered Xinyue City.

After finding an inn to stay in, Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi went to the City Lord's Mansion together.

Both of them are well-known figures in the border area. This time they came to Xinyue City, they naturally had to visit the city lord Leng Qianqiu and get the clearance documents from him.

When Leng Qianqiu learned that the two were coming, he naturally did not dare to neglect them easily, so he set up a banquet in the pavilion in the back garden to entertain them.

During the meal, after the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Feng Hao asked, "Uncle Leng, what happened to the Chen family? How come we heard that the head of the Chen family had passed away when we just entered the city in the evening?"

"Yes! I'm curious too. When I came here to play last month, wasn't the head of the Chen family fine?" Fang Tianyi added.

Leng Qianqiu smiled faintly and said, "He was too fat, which caused a sudden outbreak of a stubborn disease in his body, so he died suddenly. You don't need to pay attention to so much talk. Come, let's have another drink."

After saying that, Leng Qianqiu immediately raised his glass.

Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi had no choice but to raise their glasses to welcome him.

At this time, the two of them also realized that Leng Qianqiu did not want to say more about Chen Ruzhou's affairs, and they tactfully did not mention it again.

Putting down the wine glass, Feng Hao changed the subject and said, "By the way, Uncle Leng, I want to ask you about someone."

"Who is it?" Leng Qianqiu asked curiously.

"Her name is Gu Paner. She is in the medicinal herb business and leads a caravan. I believe you also wrote the endorsement for her golden pass, otherwise she would not be able to leave the city." Feng Hao said.

Leng Qianqiu put down his chopsticks, frowned and thought carefully.

He felt that the name sounded very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I didn't pay much attention to this. After all, during this period, the customs documents were sent in batches, and there were several gold-plated documents."

"Then it seems that I should go to the Chen family and ask the eldest lady about it." Feng Hao said.

Leng Qianqiu's face darkened, and his mood instantly became solemn. He was afraid that Feng Hao would go to the Chen family to inquire about the truth about Chen Ruzhou's sudden death, and then spread it out, ruining his and the eldest lady's good fortune. After all, he still had to rely on the Chen family to make money in the future. If the Chen family's reputation was affected, it would be a hundred benefits for him without any harm.

So he changed the subject and said, "Nephew Feng, the Chen family is in mourning now, so please don't bother them anymore. Why don't you describe to me the physical features of the girl named Gu Pan'er you are looking for? I'll see if I can remember her."

"She is about fourteen or fifteen years old, but she is very well-behaved and pretty, with long black hair and a white floral dress," Feng Hao said.

Leng Qianqiu was stunned at first, then his body suddenly trembled, and he stared at Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi with wide eyes, and he just stood there in a daze.

When he and his first wife were making love in the study during the day, his first wife told him that Chen Ruzhou had taken a powerful aphrodisiac and the girl he wanted to sleep with had this physical feature!
Now he finally remembered that the girl that the eldest lady told him about was Gu Paner that Feng Hao was looking for, right?
Feng Hao noticed that something was wrong with Leng Qianqiu and asked, "Uncle Leng, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh! I... I'm fine, nephew! Let me ask you one more thing, what is your relationship with this little girl named Gu Paner?" Leng Qianqiu came back to his senses and said.

"She is the future daughter-in-law of the Feng family that my parents and uncle have their eyes on. She is also Miss Fang's enemy. The reason we came here, besides going to Kyoto to take the spring exam, is to pursue her," Feng Hao explained.

Leng Qianqiu's face turned pale instantly when he heard this.

At this time, his forehead was even covered with cold sweat.

After all this trouble, he only now realized that this little girl named Gu Paner was not a maid of the caravan, but the shopkeeper of the caravan.

Chen Ruzhou, this bastard, had so many plans to target anyone else but her. As a result, he died that very night. Isn't this enough to prove that his death was related to the little girl Gu Paner?
After understanding this, Leng Qianqiu did not dare to speak out. After all, this was the future daughter-in-law chosen by the Feng family of Xuanyue City! How could she be compared to ordinary people?

If the news of Chen Ruzhou bullying Gu Paner that night got out, wouldn't the Feng family cause trouble for the Chen family?
Thinking of all this, Leng Qianqiu's face changed drastically and he dared not talk nonsense at all.

Fang Tianyi said with an angry look on his face, "Uncle Leng, let me tell you, this Gu Pan'er is not an ordinary girl, she is very powerful. When she was in Xuanyue City before, she beat up Young Master Feng for a whole night. Later, when she came to our Linzhou City, she beat up my father, the city lord. But my father couldn't do anything to her. Isn't it infuriating?"

"Is... is that so? Is this girl so powerful? Well... then I'm not really sure." Leng Qianqiu said with an awkward smile.

"Uncle Leng, why do I feel like your face changes when you mention Gu Paner? Did she cause trouble when she came to Xinyue City, and make you hate her too?" Fang Tianyi said puzzledly.

Leng Qianqiu laughed and said, "What are you talking about? I haven't even seen her. Why should I hate her? She should have left the city during the day. You can have a good rest tonight and chase her tomorrow. It's none of my business."

"This..." Fang Tianyi was speechless.

Feng Hao reached out under the table and touched Fang Tianyi's arm, signaling her not to say any more.

Fang Tianyi understood and closed his mouth.

After that, the three of them tactfully stopped mentioning anything about Gu Paner and continued eating, drinking and chatting.

After eating and drinking, Leng Qianqiu signed the documents for Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi, and personally escorted them out of the City Lord's Mansion. Then he pretended that he knew nothing and returned to the mansion to rest.

Unlike him, Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi, who were riding in a carriage back to the inn, were in confusion.
