After traveling to a country where women are king, I abandoned my husband and children

"What can Lu Yao ask me for?"

In the morning, after taking a shower, Ge Fu asked while applying a facial mask.

You Rong wiped his hair and said, "I don't know. He looks very anxious."

As expected, he was in a hurry. Ge Fu was just eating breakfast when he came over.

Seeing Ge Fu still sitting at the dining table, Lu Yao paused as he walked to the door, realizing that he had come too hastily. However, it was not appropriate to leave at this time, so he still gritted his teeth and walked in.

"Drinking coffee early in the morning?" His eyes fell on the coffee in Ge Fu's hand and he frowned subconsciously.

Ge Fu was startled, then explained: "I drank a little yesterday and didn't sleep well at night, so I drank some coffee to refresh myself."

Whenever she drinks alcohol, she will keep wanting to drink water at night, and after drinking water she will want to go to the toilet. This vicious cycle makes it difficult for her to sleep well.

"Are you still drinking?" Lu Yao glanced at You Niang who was ironing clothes and You Rong who was folding clothes next to him.

You Niang and You Rong looked at each other, both of them were a little bit surprised.

Am I being accused?

No, you have the guts to blame the person who did this.

Ge Fu couldn't help but feel guilty, "Only occasionally."

She quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lu Yao sat down opposite her, coughed lightly and said, "Well, I asked around, and the Jiangcheng Garden and Jiutian Hua Ting near the Princess's Mansion are both properties under your name?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but think of his initial shock.

I've heard of people who have a lot of real estate, but owning two residential areas in Yaojing, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, right in the city center, isn't this a bit too...

"That's true, but these two communities are mainly rented to servants in the mansion at half price." Ge Fu replied.

In fact, all the noble families in Hengyang did this, building one or two residential areas near the mansion to house the servants. In this way, if something happened to the master's family, the servants living nearby could rush over immediately. Earlier, this arrangement was even used to allow servants to resist the enemy in the first place during wartime and buy time for the master's family to evacuate.

As she said, there are only a few houses that are rented to servants at half price, and most of them are given away as gifts to servants.

Of course, according to the law, servants of an official family cannot own private property, so those houses are still hers in name.

"Why are you asking this?" Ge Fu was puzzled.

Lu Yao scratched his face and said, "I heard that the house is also rented out, so I want to spend money to rent one."

Ge Fu was stunned, "Are you planning to live in Jiangcheng Garden?" There was no need to think about Jiutian Huating, as it was a villa area where trusted servants like You Niang lived.

Now it was Lu Yao's turn to be stunned. Yes, it was time for him to move out of the Princess's Mansion as well.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Jiutian Hua Ting...isn't it possible?" He was too embarrassed to say that he had no plans to leave, so he could only ask along the way.

However, he also found out clearly that Jiutian Huating was a high-end villa area, and all the residents were the managers of the Princess Mansion. Therefore, the official people did not dare to disturb them casually for the sake of the Princess Mansion's reputation.

But Jiangcheng Garden does not have such deterrent power.

Ge Fu shook his head. "I'm afraid that Jiutian Hua Ting is not suitable. It is not rented out."

"You don't have to rush to move there." Ge Fu said, "There aren't many people like you in the mansion."

"Actually, I rented the house to a friend." Lu Yao was a little happy, so he told the truth: "My friend seems to have offended someone and is hiding from others, so I thought of renting the house in Jiutian Hua Ting for him to live in. Those people don't dare to barge in."

Ge Fu frowned, "What trouble did your friend get into?"

"He himself doesn't know for sure." Lu Yao sighed and said half-truthfully, "He went to Bajiao Hutong some time ago and found out that an old landlord was an impostor. The real landlord had been killed by him a long time ago. The murderer escaped at that time, and then he was hunted down."

After a pause, he said, "By the way, since he didn't enter Hengyang through normal channels, he didn't dare to go to the police station, fearing that he would be arrested as a spy."

Ge Fu frowned. Why did this matter become more complicated the more he listened?

"Since your friend didn't come through normal channels, why doesn't he leave quickly? Instead, he seems to be planning to settle down in Hengyang?" she asked curiously.

Zhang Junjie had mentioned before that it would be difficult to catch Jiang Yongjie after his escape, and suggested that they return to China first. Lu Yao's answer at the time was that he wanted to check something, but of course he couldn't say that at this time.

"My friend is a soldier. He was ordered by his superiors to chase an arms dealer to Hengyang. But after arriving in Hengyang, he felt that life here was more stable. He didn't have many relatives in his hometown, so he wanted to settle down here." Lu Yao said.

"He's being hunted by someone, but he still feels safe here?" Ge Fu was a little incredulous.

From beginning to end, she never had the idea of ​​helping Lu Yao's friends. It was not because she was indifferent, but because she knew her own limitations.

The social environment in Hengyang is very contradictory. The public security in Yaojing is relatively good, and there are no gangs or factions. However, each aristocratic family has its own private armed organization, and it is possible that the one targeting Lu Yao's friend is one of them.

If he asked Uncle Yang for help, it would not be a big deal, but Ge Fu did not intend to trouble him. As one of the few male generals, Uncle Yang did not have a smooth career in the army.

Besides, the person being hunted was only Lu Yao's friend and not himself. If it were him, considering that the other party had helped her a lot, she would ask Uncle Yang for help.

And no matter how much Uncle Yang loved her, she would have to use favors to ask for help. The palace had been donating money and supplies to Uncle Yang's army for so many years, and it was not for such a small matter.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

As a royal relative who only has the title of a princess and is not as wealthy as a country but can be said to have enormous wealth, but has no real power, Ge Fu has a very clear positioning of herself - to protect the existing wealth, win over the backers who can be won over, and try not to cause trouble as much as possible.

As long as she doesn't make any mistakes, Xiao Yuan can't do anything to her.

"What's that?" Lu Yao said indifferently: "You haven't seen how chaotic Jinglong is."

Ge Fu was startled. Although she had not experienced the chaos in Jinglong, she had seen it in international news. In recent years, there were not too many people from Jinglong who came to Hengyang like Xu Songmao and Lu Mi.

She thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you bring your friend into the mansion to avoid the limelight first."

Hearing this, not only Lu Yao, but even You Niang and You Rong looked over in astonishment.

The mother and daughter seemed to be hesitant to talk, and Lu Yao was also a little hesitant.

After such a long time, he had more or less realized that Ge Fu's situation was not very good.

——If it were Jinglong, it would be normal for a princess to be like this. But this is Hengyang, Ge Fu is equivalent to the male heir of those noble families in Jinglong, he is in his twenties, graduated from a prestigious school, but he has no proper job and is obsessed with painting.

Considering Ge Fu's parents and the offspring of Empress Hengyang, it was hard for him not to think too much.

He was also afraid of getting her into trouble.
