Chapter 155: As the Parent Official of Qingxian City, Isn't It Reasonable to Ask for Half of Your Wealth?

Qingxian City.

At the Gu Residence.

As Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu entered the grand banquet hall of the Gu residence under the guidance of the household servants, Gu Yang was already waiting there. The Gu family, being the strongest and wealthiest among the three major families of Qingxian City, had their mansion built with extravagant splendor, especially the banquet hall reserved for guests.

Since there were some confidential matters to discuss after the meal, Gu Yang had ordered to set up screens in the hall, creating a private space.

"Magistrate Wu graces my humble abode; truly an honor," Gu Yang rose to his feet, wearing a friendly smile, and greeted Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan returned the gesture, exchanging pleasantries with Gu Yang. After a brief conversation, Gu Yang turned to Cheng Lingzhu, who was beside Lu Xuan, and inquired, "May I know who this is?"

"He is my advisor, always accompanying me," Lu Xuan introduced.
