Mission 40

Gu Chaoyan was well-acquainted with the intricacies of Jiang Caixiu's family and their cunning maneuvers. During the previous banquet, the county magistrate's mention of the Lord of the Capital had triggered their interest.

The personal appearance of a scholar like Jiang Caixiu indicated the significance of their family's stature. Despite the visible damage to their reputation, Jiang Caixiu, valuing his pride, remained undeterred, showcasing the determination that brought him to confront the situation.

Given these circumstances, Gu Chaoyan deemed it necessary to clarify matters and persuade them to abandon their pursuits.

She wished for them to relinquish their objectives, freeing herself from further involvement with this family. While she had an affinity for the Yan family, her primary focus remained on completing her mission efficiently and saving time.
