Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After coming out of the Shen Mansion, Gu Chan stood directly at the gate, patted his chest and breathed heavily.

"Damn, I was so scared! I thought I was really doomed this time!"

Standing by the door and holding onto the wall, Gu Chan suddenly felt a chill on her back.

Fortunately, she has a mature female soul in her body, so she can remain calm in the face of things. If she were really a little kid, she would have been scared to pee her pants after the situation just now.

Snake Baby Baidu said in her arms, "Look at how capable you are. With us here, no matter how powerful the Shen family is, we can keep you safe, right?"

[Yes! Besides, you are quite strong now, is there any need to be so scared?] Snake Baby Sogou also followed suit.

Gu Chan was completely speechless.

She wanted to say, I am not a man, I am a woman!

I'm not a show-off, but I'll be scared when I need to be scared. Isn't that what a real woman should be like?

Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't say it out loud. She stood up straight and quickly calmed down. She changed the subject and said, "Let's go! Go and ask for money. We have to get a few more feathers from those two stingy people."

[So do you plan to go to the county government office first, or to the official residence first? ] Snake Baby asked Baidu.

Gu Chan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "He must have gone to the Yuanwai Mansion. Fatty Ding is very afraid of Wang Feihu. If I go over there, Wang Feihu will give the order and he will definitely come over faster than a rabbit."

After saying this, she curled her lips into a smile and immediately rushed towards the official's residence with a naughty look.

After an incense stick of time, Gu Chan arrived at the gate of the Yuanwai Mansion.

When the two guards at the gate saw her coming, one of them immediately stopped her, while the other ran into the mansion to report without saying a word.

At this time, Wang Feihu and Wang Tianxiao were discussing something in the study room in the backyard.

The guard rushed in and reported, "Master, the second master of the Shen family is here."

"The second master of the Shen family?" Wang Feihu's brain short-circuited for a moment. He couldn't react at first. Who was this second master of the Shen family?

"It's Manager Gu from Chunfeng Clinic!" the guard explained.

Wang Feihu gave the guard a cold look and was speechless.

Wang Tianxiao looked at him and said, "Dad, what is this little devil doing here so late at night?"

"He must have bad intentions. I heard this afternoon that General Long sent Commander Xue to invite her to the Tiger Camp for a private chat. I don't know what they talked about." Wang Feihu said with a frown.

At this moment, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Wang Tianxiao acted decisively and ordered the guard, "Go and send her away. Tell her that my father is not feeling well and has gone to bed. Tell her to come back tomorrow if she has anything else to do."

"Yes, young master." The guard responded and turned to leave.

But just as he reached the door of the study, Wang Feihu suddenly waved his hand and called him, "Wait!"

"Dad, you don't really want to see him?" Wang Tianxiao was surprised.

Wang Feihu was silent for a moment, then he said, "The fighting is so intense in the border forest right now, and he came here in the middle of the night. It might be General Long's order. If I neglect to see him, he will report me to General Long. What do you want me to say?"

"This……"

"Go and bring him here. I want to see what this kid is up to." Wang Feihu gave the order cautiously.

The guard received the order and left immediately.

Wang Tianxiao didn't dare to say more at this moment. The war was already raging, and their Wang family must not make any mistakes, otherwise they would be away from the emperor's orders. With Long Zhen's temper, if the Wang family really offended him, what would happen if he killed their entire family in this remote border area?

By then, even if his uncle Wang Feilong was in Kyoto, it would be too late to put out a nearby fire!

So he had to admit that his father's concerns were justified.

After a while, the guard brought Gu Chan to the study. After completing the task, he left and went to guard the gate.

Wang Feihu pretended to smile and gestured to Gu Chan, "Manager Gu, please sit down! Sit down and we'll talk slowly."

Then he looked at Wang Tianxiao and said, "Go, make a cup of fragrant tea for Shopkeeper Gu."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, don't be polite. Who am I? How dare I ask Young Master Wang to personally make tea for me? Don't be so enthusiastic. It makes me embarrassed." Gu Chan waved her hand to stop them.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

She understood this principle, especially since the father and son didn't get along with her, so she should take it easy.

Wang Feihu laughed and said, "Okay then. I wonder what brings you here so late at night? What's the matter?"

"I'm here to ask for money. How about you send someone to the county government office and invite Magistrate Ding over to have a chat!" Gu Chan said straight to the point without even thinking.

Wang Feihu and Wang Tianxiao looked at each other, and both father and son were stunned.

They had seen people asking for money, but they had never seen anyone asking for money as confidently as Gu Chan.

This... is really a bit hard for them to adapt...

Gu Chan walked to the chair next to her and sat down, crossing her arms over her chest and said, "I didn't ask for it. General Long asked me to ask you for it. You can understand that I am using chicken feathers as a token of authority. After all, a large number of injured soldiers will be sent here in the second half of the night, and I don't have money to buy herbs to treat them."

"Haha... I see! Well, don't worry for now. I'll send someone to invite Magistrate Ding over, and then we'll sit down together to discuss it." Wang Feihu came back to his senses, chuckled twice, and answered calmly.

Then he winked at Wang Tianxiao, who immediately nodded and left, going to invite Fatty Ding in person.

After that, Gu Chan sat in the study, chatting with Wang Feihu from time to time, and waited slowly.

After Wang Tianxiao left the official's mansion, he rode straight to the county government office at full speed.

It would normally take him one incense stick of time to get between the two places, but he only finished in half an incense stick of time.

After entering the county government office and finding Ding Sheng, Wang Tianxiao explained the details to him.

After hearing this, Ding Sheng's face darkened instantly, and he said in a deep voice with a sullen look in his eyes, "At this critical moment, you come to us to ask for money. Are you planning to empty our pockets?"

"Long Zhen has disliked us for a long time. It's normal for him to take advantage of the border war to send a dog to bite our two families." Wang Tianxiao just added fuel to the fire.

Ding Sheng was so angry that his teeth were bared. "We don't even know if he can win this battle! He wants to get money from us at the beginning. How can it be so easy? If he loses, where can we escape to without money? How can we give him all the money?"

"Yes, my father thought so too, otherwise he would not ask me to come and call you in person!" Wang Tianxiao said hurriedly.

"Well, I understand what your father is thinking. Let's go and talk about it over there. The three of us will work together and definitely make that little brat Gu Chan stunned. He still wants to take advantage of us, but he is too naive." Ding Sheng said with a sinister smile.

After saying that, he immediately left the county government office with Wang Tianxiao and rushed to the official residence.
