As soon as he entered the door, the gatekeeper went to look for the butler in a hurry.

The butler also felt that something was wrong. Could it be that Steward Zhou wanted to harm Old Master?

He was also afraid and quickly went to report to Mrs. Zhou.

Hearing the words, Mrs. Zhou sprang up from her chair. She was thinking more than the housekeeper. Butler Zhou was on good terms with Mrs. Ren and worked for Concubine Gu, but now…

Mrs. Xu also thought of it and whispered into Mrs. Zhou’s ear, “Madam, the waiter at the teahouse said that he brought two women there. Could these two be Gu Qiuyue and Mrs. Ren?”

“It must be them.” Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth. “The gatekeeper didn’t see Steward Zhou go out from the front door, so he must have gone out from the back door. Good, very good. I didn’t expect these two to still have the strength to jump around. Nanny Xu, get someone to tie up the old woman who was guarding the back door today and go to Snow Blowing Garden to see if Gu Qiuyue brought Old Master to her place.”

Mrs. Xu hurriedly did as she was told. Not long after, she came back panting with a look of panic on her face. “Madam, Gu Qiuyue didn’t come back, and Master didn’t come back either. The old woman guarding the back door said that she would only let them out, but they didn’t come back.”

They didn’t come back??

Mrs. Zhou was flabbergasted. She thought that Steward Zhou had taken advantage of the fact that Old Master was drunk to deliberately bring her back from the back door and send her to Gu Qiuyue’s bed.

Mrs. Zhou realized that the matter had become serious. After walking around the house twice, she said in a low voice, “They haven’t returned to the residence. Master is still drunk. Where are they taking Master and what are they doing? Let me think. I have to think about where they will go.”

“There are the same number of carriages in the stable, so they shouldn’t be too far away. Gu Qiuyue doesn’t have anywhere else to go in the prefectural city. She doesn’t even have a place to stay. Where else can she go?” Nanny Xu was also puzzled.

Mrs. Zhou could not figure it out either. After a moment, she could only order, “Go out and search. It’s only been a while. They can’t be far. Look around here. Go personally. Hurry.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”
