Chapter 1226: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1226: Shu Yu's Anxiety
Shu Yu had a bad feeling in her heart and asked again, squinting her eyes, "What do they intend to do?"
Hu Li sighed, "The buyer owns a brothel in the capital. The higher-ups suspect that they might buy this place to train the young girls and boys who haven't been officially registered yet."
There was another point he didn't mention, but Shu Yu could probably guess it. The location and layout of the black market were excellent. In the future, if there were important and influential people who wanted to visit the brothel, they might be brought to this place for entertainment.
Shu Yu felt a lump in her throat. The thought of having such a business so close to their estate troubled her greatly.
The problem was, these people were ruthless and cunning. While the black market dealt with items and had exorbitant prices that common people couldn't afford, the brothel was different.
Once the workshop was built and they needed more workers, it was likely that there would be attractive girls and boys among them. Some workers might even bring their children to play around. If the buyers saw someone who looked appealing, they might directly kidnap them or deceive them with false promises. Even if she was a county lord, she wouldn't be able to do anything against them.
Shu Yu's brows furrowed tightly.
Seeing her distress, Hu Li tried to console her, "Don't worry too much, Miss. The deal hasn't been finalized yet. Perhaps the buyers are not satisfied with the price, and negotiations could break down."
Shu Yu couldn't help but recall Huli's earlier words about the deal likely to go through. She felt despondent.
Hu Li, realizing that his words weren't helping, tried to come up with another solution. "Anyway, there is still time. Why don't we think of a plan together?"
He sighed and added, "It's all because of that person who showed the glass mirror. They specifically chose Jiangyuan County's black market. It caused various forces to gather here, and now the black market has to be relocated."
Shu Yu responded listlessly, feeling like she wanted to shut herself away from the world.

Seeing her reaction worsen as he spoke, Hu Li felt awkward and touched his nose. "Well, miss Lu, I have some other matters to attend to. Don't worry; the higher-ups and I will find a way. After all, that place still belongs to Jiangyuan County, and it's under the jurisdiction of the higher-ups. They don't like having such a place causing trouble either."
Hearing his reassurance, Shu Yu finally felt a glimmer of relief.
She nodded and forced a smile. "Thank you. I'll leave it to you."
Hu Li bid farewell and left.
As Hu Li was walking away from the gate of the Lu family, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him.
"Hu Li, master Hu Li."
He stopped and turned around to see Gu Mama running towards him, gasping for breath.
Hu Li hurriedly went up to her. "Gu Mama, why are you here?"
Gu Mama smiled and said, "I happened to pass by and saw you. By the way, I noticed that you were talking with Village Lord for quite a while. What were you discussing?"
"Nothing." Hu Li naturally wouldn't tell her about the black market's issue. Lady and Master's relationship was something Gu Mama was unaware of, and she wasn't involved in official matters either.
