Chapter 1256: Second Master Duan Is His Benefactor?
Who would have thought that there would be so many twists and turns in what happened back then?
Eh? Wait, benefactor??
Gu Yundong’s eyelids twitched. When she thought of the stories that the Duan family and the Dou family had to tell, a bad feeling welled up in her heart.
Shao Qingyuan also thought of it. He frowned slightly. “Don’t tell the benefactor you’re talking about is Second Master Duan?”
Otherwise, why would Young Master Dou treat Second Master Duan so well?
Dou Fukang nodded. “Yes, that young lady back then was Second Master Duan’s daughter.”
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan were speechless. Damn it.
In that case, General Dou would definitely protect Second Master Duan. After all, the man was his benefactor. He would not bite the hand that fed him, right?
When Dou Fukang saw the strange expressions on the two of them, he thought for a mont and said in a low voice, “I heard that you have a good relationship with the eldest young master of the Duan family. The eldest young master of the Duan family has always taken care of this provision store, right? So… you don’t want Second Master Duan to be the master of the Duan family?”
Seeing that he was being honest, Gu Yundong did not hide it anymore. “Indeed. Moreover, Young Master Dou should know that Duan Qian was chosen by the higher-ups after the Xin family was removed.”
Gu Yundong pointed upwards. She believed that since General Dou had been trusted by the emperor and sent to Wanqing Prefecture, he would definitely know sothing.
Sure enough, Dou Fukang fell silent.
He sat back in his chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
After a long ti, he looked up at the couple opposite him.
After a while, he looked up and fixed his gaze on Gu Yundong.
Then he slamd the table. “I rember now, Gu Yundong… When the Xin residence was confiscated, you, you…”
Yes, yes. Dou Fukang felt that this na was also familiar.
There were so news that others did not know except his father. For example, the major case of the Xin Prefecture in the Wanqing Prefecture more than a year ago. Although the emperor had sent soone to take over, since his father was to take over the Wanqing Prefecture, there were naturally so things that had to be investigated, especially regarding the major case of the Xin Prefecture.
Coincidentally, his father knew Lord Mo, who was in charge of this matter at that ti, and specially heard so news from him.
Although Lord Mo had briefly ntioned Gu Yundong, his father had rembered this na because of his concern for Wanqing Prefecture.
Dou Fukang was still wondering why this young lady knew so much about the Xin Residence. So that was how it was. So that was how it was.
Dou Fukang laughed and shook his head. When he looked at the couple again, his gaze beca different.
“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll tell you the truth.”
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and sat opposite him.
Dou Fukang said, “Although Second Master Duan is my benefactor, this person is indeed not very capable in business. It’s fine if he’s running a small business, but if he takes over a family like the Duan family, I’m afraid it won’t be long before they fall.”
“Young Master Dou understands him very well.”
Dou Fukang waved his hand. “Qingyuan and I are brothers. We experienced life and death together back then. If Sister-in-law doesn’t mind, you can call Big Brother Dou so that we won’t be too distant.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Qingyuan said, “It’s good to call you Young Master Dou.”
Dou Fukang narrowed his eyes. Why did he feel that there was… jealousy in his words?
Oh, right. Gu Yundong seed to be addressing him as Brother Shao.
He didn’t expect Shao Qingyuan to beco so petty after so many years. He even cared about how she addressed him.
“Forget it, forget it. Young Master Dou it is.”
