Chapter 1040: Giving Shao Qingyuan the Handkerchief
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shao Qingyuan had seen the emperor before. He was very different from before.
He was someone who had made great contributions and could crush them with a casual move.
Not to mention that they only had a handkerchief that was originally his, even if they had gold and silver, they would have to obediently hand it over if Shao Qingyuan wanted it.
Therefore, at this moment, Li Dunzi and Madam Du’s bodies were trembling slightly, and they were extremely afraid.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yundong raised her hand and handed her a bag of pastries. “Congratulations.”
Madam Du was stunned and in disbelief. It was only when Chen Liang pushed her that she suddenly reacted and hurriedly took it with both hands. Her smile was exceptionally bright. “Look, look at how polite you are. You even gave me such a big gift. Quick, please come in. The banquet has already started outside. There’s still an empty table in the room. Go and sit there.”
...
She was happy. There was a red packet on the pastry. There must be money inside.
Unexpectedly, not only did Gu Yundong not force them to hand over the handkerchief, she even gave them so much face in front of everyone.
Li Dunzi and his wife heaved a sigh of relief. In the future, they would not be in a dilemma in this village.
Gu Yundong smiled and walked in with Shao Qingyuan.
She was speechless when she saw the expressions of Li Dunzi and his wife.
They were not the kind of unreasonable bandits who would snatch and plunder. The second branch of the Li family did not have much of a grudge with them. The second branch had a handkerchief in their hands, and they needed this handkerchief. They would give a red packet in front of everyone and treat it as buying the handkerchief from them. Everyone would just take what they needed.
The two of them entered the central room. The people outside wanted to follow them, but they were stopped by Chen Liang.
“Alright, alright. Today is the Li family’s big day. Let’s talk after the banquet is over.”
Madam Wan and the others also said, “That’s right, that’s right. If you don’t want to eat, Qingyuan and Yundong still want to eat.”
When everyone heard this, they could only suppress the excitement in their hearts and silently return to their seats.
However, the buzzing discussion never stopped, and their gaze was fixed on the central room.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong stood up and followed Madam Du into the room.
‘Where are they going? To see the bride?’

That didn’t make sense. Wasn’t the bride in the other room?
Shao Qingyuan was really not interested in the wedding banquet. He was here for the handkerchief.
After taking two sips of wine, the two of them followed Madam Du to the main room.
As soon as they entered, Madam Du closed the door and locked it.
Then, he took out a key and opened a coat box in the corner. He lay inside and took out a small box. Then, he used another key to open the box.
She had hidden it very well. Not only were there two locks, but there was also a compartment in the last box.
The handkerchief was taken from that compartment.
Gu Yundong guessed that the compartment should have been used to hide money, but there wasn’t any money now.
Madam Du heaved a sigh of relief and handed the handkerchief to Shao Qingyuan. She said, “This is the handkerchief you wore back then. This material should be good. I’d never seen it before, nor did I know it. You’re knowledgeable. You might be able to find your family.”
