She went to all the pawnshops in Beijing. The earrings were not very valuable and the prices offered by the shops were not high.

Gu Qinghe seemed very melancholy, clutching the earrings tightly and refusing to pawn them.

Finally, I went to the street and started selling my goods.

Indeed, many people were attracted by her behavior, but once they saw the earrings, they turned away with disgust on their faces.

But Gu Qinghe's target was not these people.

She stood on the street for half an hour and finally met the person she was waiting for.

"Where did you get these earrings?"

Gu Qinghe looked at the person who came.

She was a young maid with ordinary looks, but the fabrics of her clothes were better than those of ordinary people or even the servants in the Yao Mansion.

She looked at Gu Qinghe with eyes full of vigilance.

Gu Qinghe smiled and said, "I found it. Do you want to buy it, young lady?"

The maid was still staring at her, but Gu Qinghe seemed not to notice and continued, "Actually, I picked up this earring a while ago. I hadn't thought of selling it before, but I was really short of money recently, so I thought of selling it."

The maid did not hesitate and directly threw a piece of silver to Gu Qinghe and took the earrings.

After the man walked away, the smile on Gu Qinghe's face faded. He glanced at Uncle Fu in the crowd not far away. Seeing that Uncle Fu had followed him, he let out a deep breath.

Uncle Fu came back in the evening with a gloomy look on his face.

Gu Qinghe was waiting at the door early. The two looked at each other and closed the gate. Before they even walked into the study, Gu Qinghe couldn't wait any longer, "Whose maid is that?"

Uncle Fu remained silent, and Gu Qinghe became anxious, "Could it be that he lost me?"

“I didn’t lose him.”

When Uncle Fu thought about the mansion that the maid had walked into today, he felt as if a huge rock was piled on his heart.

He hesitated completely, thinking that perhaps he shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to let the girl get involved in this mess.

Gu Qinghe obviously saw through his thoughts and frowned, "Uncle Fu, now that things have come to this, there is no turning back. If it weren't for the Chen family and my mother, I would have died long ago. Even if you don't tell me, I will check it myself."

His shoulders slumped, Uncle Fu said, "It's the Prince Wu's Palace."

"Prince Wu's Palace?"

Gu Qinghe was very shocked. It was indeed a direction she had never thought of.

The King of Wu is a very low-key person, and his presence in the capital is not strong. Compared with the deep brotherly love between the King of Wei and the current emperor, the King of Wu seems to be a little indifferent in terms of feelings.

He usually keeps to himself. If she remembered correctly, in his previous life, it seemed that at the end of this year, the King of Wu asked the Emperor to grant him a piece of land in the remote northern border, and he went to the northern border with his family.

Gu Qinghe was puzzled, "Did my parents have any connection with the Wu Palace before?"

Uncle Fu shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

"It doesn't matter," Gu Qinghe said, "I'll go back and ask Shao Wei about it."

Uncle Fu raised his eyes and wondered if his daughter's calling of General Shao's name was a little too natural.

When Gu Qinghe went to see Aunt Liu again, she did not mention the matter of the earring. Aunt Liu must have known that she had sold the earrings. Since she did not ask, Gu Qinghe naturally did not want to bring it up.

"My aunt's illness has basically healed. She will be fine after taking medicine for another two days."

Hearing this, Yao Shiliang smiled slightly, but there was still some inexplicable scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at Gu Qinghe.

"The young lady's medical skills are so superb, it is really admirable. I wonder who her teacher is?"
