Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 187 Manager Xu Visits

Not long after, an exquisitely decorated carriage slowly stopped in front of the broad and solemn gate of the Prince of Guangping's mansion. Steward Xu gently lifted the curtain and stepped out. He looked up at the magnificent and solemn mansion before him, and a sense of awe welled up in his heart.

The Guangping Prince's Palace, a vast expanse of land, boasts elegant architecture, encircled by high vermilion walls that reflect the owner's unparalleled status and power. Two majestic stone lions, lifelike and majestic, stand on either side of the entrance, seemingly guarding the residence's tranquility and dignity.

Steward Xu straightened his robe and walked towards the palace gate. The sharp-eyed servant guarding the gate immediately noticed the stranger's arrival and hurried forward to greet him, asking respectfully, "Excuse me, distinguished guest, who are you? What brings you here? And which master in our palace would you like to see?"

Steward Xu smiled, bowed slightly to the servant, and politely replied, "My dear brother, I am Steward Xu from the Guo Mansion. I have come to your house to discuss an important matter. Please let me know that I would like to see Master Xunfeng."

After hearing this, the servant frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he said, "How about this, you wait here for a moment. I will go to Qingfeng Pavilion to ask Master Xunfeng's opinion and see if it is convenient for him to meet with you." With that, the servant turned and walked towards the mansion.

Steward Xu nodded in understanding. He knew that this was the Prince of Guangping's palace, after all, with numerous rules and regulations, and that he couldn't just barge in. Furthermore, he had come rather hastily without making an appointment, so to receive such treatment was already quite good.

Afterwards, another servant led Steward Xu to the side hall and served him a cup of fragrant hot tea. Steward Xu thanked the servant and sat down on a chair, waiting patiently.

Not long after, the servant who had previously gone to Qingfeng Pavilion to deliver the message hurried to the side hall. Upon seeing Manager Xu, he bowed respectfully and said, "Manager Xu, Master Xunfeng wants to see you. Please follow me."

Upon hearing this, Steward Xu nodded gently, agreeing, and then followed the servant. They journeyed through winding corridors and courtyards, finally arriving at Qingfeng Pavilion. Once inside, the servant led Steward Xu into the main hall. Not only was Xunfeng present, but Dugu Xin was also seated there.

Manager Xu glanced around the group and spotted Xunfeng standing quietly beside the man at the head of the table. Although he had never personally seen the King of Yunnan, judging by the situation before him, he suspected the man sitting at the head was undoubtedly the King of Yunnan.

After understanding this, Manager Xu did not dare to neglect it. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This humble servant pays homage to the King of Yunnan. Long live the King of Yunnan."

The King of Yunnan looked Steward Xu up and down. Seeing his proper manners and appropriate responses, he secretly praised him. A kind smile immediately appeared on his face. He said, "So it's Steward Xu! Please stand up quickly. No need to be so polite. Find a seat and talk."

After thanking him again, Manager Xu carefully sat down on a nearby chair. At this moment, Dugu Xin was the first to ask, "Manager Xu, have you made any progress on the task I asked Xun Feng to do?"

Manager Xu said with a flattering smile, "That's exactly what happened! I had someone calculate it this morning, and seven days from now is a good day to move!"

Dugu Xin raised his head and let out a hearty and heroic laugh: "Hahahaha, that's great! Then I would like to thank Manager Xu in advance. Please express my sincere gratitude to Master Guo of your mansion on my behalf."

Steward Xu's face was equally filled with a brilliant smile, and he hurriedly said, "Oh, my Lord, you are so kind! It is a great honor for me to serve you, and I cannot possibly deserve such words of gratitude. As for my master, I will convey your kindness to him."

Dugu Xin nodded slightly and spoke again, "Then I'll trouble you to take care of it. Xunfeng, go and see Manager Xu off."

Upon hearing this, Xun Feng immediately responded respectfully, "As you command!" He then moved to Manager Xu's side and said softly, "Manager Xu, please come this way. Let me escort you."

Xun Feng carefully helped Manager Xu onto the carriage, and took out an exquisite purse from his bosom and handed it to him, saying sincerely, "This is just a small gift, but I hope Manager Xu will accept it."

Manager Xu repeatedly waved his hands to decline, "No, no, how can I do this? Absolutely not!" However, Xun Feng was adamant, and after repeated insistence, Manager Xu finally gave in and happily accepted the gift. With tears of gratitude, he said, "If you need anything else in the future, just let me know. I'll do my best to help you!"

Xunfeng smiled and nodded gently, indicating that he would remember Manager Xu's promise. After Manager Xu's carriage gradually drove away and disappeared, he turned around and slowly returned to Qingfeng Pavilion.

When Xunfeng returned to Qingfeng Pavilion, Dugu Xin said to him, "Xunfeng, go ask if Chu'er is in the mansion. I want to talk to him about the move."

Before Xunfeng had time to drink a sip of water, he went out again. Seeing the steward in the courtyard, he asked, "Young man, is His Royal Highness Prince Guangping in the mansion?"

The servant said uncertainly, "This, I'm not sure, but logically speaking, His Highness should be in the study right now. You can go and take a look. Usually, if he's in the study, Lord Feng will be guarding outside."

After thanking the servant, Xunfeng went to the study and saw Feng Shengyi standing at the door. Feng Shengyi also saw Xunfeng and asked, "It's Brother Xunfeng! Is there something wrong?"

Xun Feng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's not me who has something to do, it's my prince who has something to discuss with your Highness."

Feng Shengyi said with an expression of "I see," "In that case, I will go and report to His Highness. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Feng Shengyi knocked on the door and entered the study. But within a few minutes, the door of the study opened. Not only Feng Shengyi, but Li Chu also came out.

When Xun Feng saw Li Chu, he bowed and said, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Guangping!"

Li Chu immediately stood up and said, "Since Uncle Dugu wants to discuss something important with me, I will go with you to Qingfeng Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, Xunfeng immediately said, "Then I'll trouble Your Highness to make the trip." He then made a "please" gesture and led Li Chu to Qingfeng Pavilion.
