I think my luck is turning around.

"why?"

Zhan Yu naturally had no idea what An Ge was thinking. The person on the other side was someone they couldn't compare to. Wasn't she afraid to refuse like that?

But then she thought, An Ge didn't need to be afraid. Her current status made her the object of everyone's admiration. Even royalty would have to beg to see Si Mian.

The powerful figure now only requires that guests be received at his residence, but what about in the future? Those powerful figures all require Si Mian to go out on official business, and such a status will never be like Ji Xia's.

"I will have someone arrange to tell that powerful person to come in person."

An Ge looked at Zhan Yu in confusion, wondering why her thoughts had changed so quickly. She was just being willful; if she were asked to go on fieldwork again, she wouldn't refuse and would get on the carriage and go to that powerful man's residence.

I don't know what Zhan Yu's strategy was, but she has already sent someone to deliver the message.

Within fifteen minutes, someone arrived. They appeared to be guards or similar figures. They bowed before speaking.

His face was handsome, his physique was great, and An Ge's eyes lit up at that moment. No matter what, looking at a handsome man was always a happy thing. An Ge's mood had clearly improved a bit, and she tilted her head to look at the guard.

"My husband is unwell, so I'll have to trouble Miss Simian to make the trip."

The person's voice was clear and bright, clearly indicating their age—a college student in their early twenties. An Ge lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, then immediately suppressed her smile, looking at the person before her with a blank expression.

"It's not that it's impossible, but there are no exceptions. If he wants to know the details, we'll have to trouble him to make the trip."

An Ge remained unyielding, even knowing that the other party was not someone to be trifled with. She wasn't afraid of anyone, but then she asked Mu An a question.

"Mu An, what kind of person is this? Is it really okay for me to do this?"

"You've already refused, are you still afraid? I really don't understand you... Don't worry, the other person isn't that difficult to deal with."

Hearing Mu An's comforting words, An Ge felt much relieved. Seeing this, the guards opposite her didn't say anything more, but simply left the music hall and mounted the horse that was still at the door.

With a pull of the reins, the horse neighed and galloped off. He needed to get the message back to the manor quickly, otherwise it would be considered negligence. But Si Mian's negligence went unpunished; their status was different, and they couldn't say what their master wanted like Si Mian did.

This time, An Ge had already drunk a pot of tea in half an hour. It was still the same guard.

"My master will be here shortly, please get ready, Miss Simian."

Hearing the result, An Ge felt that this person wasn't too difficult to deal with, so she stood up. She had drunk a bit too much water and needed to take care of herself.

Actually, the distance from the front yard to the outhouse isn't far, but getting dressed is a bit cumbersome, so it takes a little longer. After relieving herself, An Ge leisurely walked towards the front yard, without any hurry, even though there were some noises coming from ahead.

"My master has booked the entire music venue today, so please everyone leave!"

Just by looking at the guard's attire, one could tell that this man was no ordinary person; the fabric of his clothes was only slightly inferior to that of Li Laosan. However, a guard's status wasn't that high; comparing him to the people in Li Yuesheng's family revealed the difference.

An Ge strolled slowly into her room and took out something she had kept for a long time. It was a gift from Lang Yan when she left the farm at the foot of the mountain, who said it might come in handy.

An Ge is truly fearless this time. With Si Mian's identity as a backer and Lang Yan's token, can she walk sideways now?

Just thinking about it, I should still be more humble and not be so conspicuous.

With her hands tucked in her sleeves, An Ge slowly walked towards the front hall. At this time, there was no one in the front hall, and even the doors and windows were closed. In the dark front hall, An Ge immediately became vigilant.

At that moment, the sound of raindrops came from the second floor, just as it always was. An Ge cautiously observed her surroundings and asked Mu An to keep an eye on things as well.

Perhaps because there wasn't a significant risk involved, Mu An reassured her that he was just an ordinary guest, only a little pretentious. What could An Ge say? She simply felt more confident and walked upstairs step by step.

As usual, Zhan Yu let her in. At this hour, the guest room was already packed with people just outside the door. An Ge was speechless at the sight. If there were four or five people just at the door, what about the people in the shadows, where she couldn't see them?

An Ge, completely unfazed, swaggered in and sat down in her usual spot. The seat opposite her was still empty. What's with this guy's entrance? Is he just that unique?

Did they really have to be the grand finale? Unbelievable!

An Ge poured herself a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

At that moment, before they could be heard, their voices were heard first. A coughing sound rang out; good heavens, such an entrance was truly unexpected. This person was unwell, so they had come seeking health.

The person slowly walked into the doorway, and there was a painting! It was a painting! Truly beautiful! Both the craftsmanship on the doorway and the person.

An Ge was quite pleased with what she saw, and her disdain for this person lessened considerably! The man, supported by the guard she had just met, sat down opposite An Ge.

"Miss Si Mian, I am truly sorry, I was unwell and arrived late."

"Oh, it's alright! As long as they're here. Ask them whatever you want to know!"

An Ge, get straight to the main storyline. Don't waste time with pleasantries; they're useless.

"I just want to ask when the fighting in the west will end."

The west? Why ask that? Is there any important figure in the west? I heard a couple of days ago that Li Yue'er's brother is fighting in the west. Is it for that young general?

Is this a change of genre? To BL (Boys' Love)? I'm kind of looking forward to it!

An Ge's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at the person opposite her, "The war in the west will be resolved soon, and the soldiers will be able to return in glory soon."

At this point, the person opposite her seemed happy, their eyes softening considerably. Seeing this change, An Ge immediately remembered, "What was Li Yue'er's brother's name again?"

Why can't I remember it all of a sudden?

"Mu An! What's Li Yue'er's brother's name?"

"Li Yu".

Oh, I see! I only know one identity and one name about Li Yu, but I can find out more about him! These things aren't difficult.

"Then can she come back too?"

An Ge listened and looked at the smile on the person opposite her, but felt that something was wrong.

"Brother Mu'an, when he just said 'TA,' did he mean male 'he' or female 'she'?"

"What? Are you asking for subtitles? Is that even allowed?"

Can you tell me?

"She."

OK! Message received! Since there is such a difference, then the person we are waiting for is not that young general, after all, the theme has not changed.
