Chapter 1259: A Thought
However, not long after, they realized that someone was following them.
Gu Yundong turned her body slightly and the figure behind her immediately hid in the alley.
However, that glimpse just now was enough for her to see clearly.
Wasn’t this the woman who coveted Uncle Yu? Did she finally know that the grocery store had another owner and wanted to investigate?
Shao Qingyuan gave Shao Wen a look. Shao Wen nodded and turned to walk to the back.
The woman thought that she had hidden herself very well. Unexpectedly, when she wanted to poke her head out again, she suddenly saw Shao Wen’s expressionless face.
She instantly took two steps back and said with a dry smile, “You, you’re in my way.”
Shao Wen had a wooden board in his hand at some point, and he bent it forcefully in front of the woman.
With a bang, the wooden board was split in half.
The woman’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale.
Facing Shao Wen, she didn’t have the courage and shrewishness when she faced Yu Yanghong. She could only swallow her saliva with all her might.
Shao Wen’s cold voice sounded. “If you follow us again, you can try to see if your bones are as easy to break as this wooden board.”
The woman’s face was filled with fear. She suddenly turned around and ran.
Shao Wen stood on the spot until she ran far away. Then, he sneered and turned to follow Shao Qingyuan.
However, after today’s commotion, Second Master Duan had probably set his sights on them. Although Dou Fukang said that he would be there, Second Master Duan would definitely secretly investigate their background with his petty appearance.
Gu Yundong and Duan Wan were not afraid of him investigating, but they had to be careful when Duan Wan was with them.
It seemed that the three of them had better change to another inn after returning, leaving only Tong Shuitao to take care of Duan Wan.
“Aren’t you going to tell Dou Fukang about Duan Wan?”
Shao Qingyuan shook his head. “No matter what the reason is, the Dou family is on Second Master Duan’s side now. The fewer people know about Duan Wan’s whereabouts, the better. Moreover, although I cooperated with Dou Fukang when I was young, we haven’t seen each other for many years, so we don’t know his character.”
Gu Yundong thought about it and nodded, but a thought kept lingering in her mind.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but say, “Do you think… the little girl who reported to Dou Fukang back then is really Second Master Duan’s daughter? Could it be Duan Wan?”
“Hmm?”
“Think about it. Previously, we were wondering why Second Aunt Duan chose to deal with Duan Wan at this juncture or marry her off to the old man. Wouldn’t it make sense if she were connected to the Dou Family? What if Duan Wan was the one who saved you two, and Second Master Duan deliberately let his daughter impersonate her to deceive others?”
Shao Qingyuan lowered his eyes. “What you said makes sense, but there’s one thing that doesn’t make sense. General Dou is such a meticulous person. It’s unlikely that he would mistake the person he owes a favor to. Moreover, according to Dou Fukang, his father personally thanked his benefactor back then. In other words, he personally met Second Master Duan.”
This… seemed to make sense.
Gu Yundong sighed.
Shao Qingyuan rubbed her head. “Don’t think too much. Why don’t we go back and ask Duan Wan? Perhaps she still remembers.”
Hopefully…
“Well, let’s go back and find Duan Wan first. Before I came out just now, she said that her two maids were also in trouble. I wonder if she and Shopkeeper Luo have figured out a way to save them.”
The few of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at the inn.
