"First Young Master, Second Young Master."
Gu Qiushui walked towards Yan Rong and Yan Jing and nodded.
She has beautiful appearance and elegant manners, and her voice has the unique water color of Jiangnan water town.
Although Yan Rong didn't like it, the education he received since he was a child prevented him from saying bad words.
On the contrary, Gu Qiushui was polite, and Yan Rong was also very polite. He bowed slightly and said hello, "Hello, Aunt Gu."
Gu Qiushui smiled brightly, "The eldest son is back today? Madam must be very happy."
Seeing that Yan Rong was still holding Yan Jiaojiao in her hand, she smiled so much that she rolled her eyes and said, "It's hot. Young Master, please help yourself. Even a young lady can't stand this kind of poisonous sun."
Yan Rong nodded, "It's good to go, Aunt Gu."
The two parties passed by each other.
After returning to Qingsong Pavilion, Yan Jiaojiao was placed first, and then Yan Rong asked Yan Jing, "Aunt Gu, are you still respectful to your mother?"
"She knows the rules quite well." Yan Jing still had a good impression of Gu Qiushui.
"Every morning I go to the Peony Pavilion to say hello. Sometimes when my mother doesn't see her, she just bows in the yard and goes back."
It sounds much better than that Liu Xinyue.
Yan Rong was relieved.
[Brother, she was arranged by my mother. 】
Yan Jiaojiao danced and called Yan Rong to him.
Yan Rong looked at her sister, "What?"
Yan Jing was surprised, "Brother, what did you say?"
The two brothers looked at each other.
Yan Rong: "I didn't say anything."
Yan Jing scratched his hair, a little confused.
Yan Jiaojiao looked at Yan Rong and then at Yan Jing.
She had long discovered that her voice could be heard by some people.
However, these are all "single-line connections".
Her voice is related to the Ji family, so Yan Rong and Yan Jing can't hear it.
In the same way, neither Yan Rong nor Yan Jing knew that the other could hear their sister's thoughts.
"Ajing, has Aunt Liu been a demon recently?"
When Liu Xinyue was mentioned, Yan Rong's internal organs seemed to hurt.
Yan Jing chuckled, "With Aunt Gu, Liu will no longer care about being a monster."
Yan Rong narrowed her eyes, and there was a dark feeling on her delicate little face.
Yan Jiaojiao stuck out his tongue. This elder brother had a dark temperament.
Yan Rong looked at Yan Jiaojiao.
If I read it correctly, the direction Gu Qiushui went to just now was in the direction of the Peony Garden?
He was not mistaken. Gu Qiushui had indeed gone to the Peony Garden.
Originally, Mrs. Ji wanted to make a snack for her son, but when she entered the small kitchen, she was kicked out by Granny Chen.
Ji had no choice but to go back.
Just as he was going to Qingsong Pavilion to see what the three brothers and sisters were doing, Gu Qiushui came.
"lady."
Gu Qiushui always knew the rules in front of Ji.
Compared with Liu Xinyue in Taohuawu, Gu Qiushui is simply a model among concubines.
"Sit down, why are you here again on such a hot day?"
She had already said that it was hot, so she didn't need to worry about Qiu Shui coming to say hello every day.
This morning, Gu Qiushui did not come in. He just bowed and bowed outside the yard and left.
Gu Qiushui looked at the maids in the room.
Mrs. Ji understood and asked Tang Rui to pour tea for Gu Qiushui and went out with a room full of maids.
"What's the matter?"
Gu Qiushui whispered: "Madam, I always feel that there are some problems over there in Taohuawu."
Ji raised his eyes to look at her and motioned for her to continue.
"The Marquis has not rested in Yuzhu Garden for a long time."
"Since Miss Wan had a fever in the middle of the night last time, Mr. Marquis went over to check on her, but she never spent the night in my house again."
Gu Qiushui said it generously.
She was originally the eldest brother of the Ji family, who had paid a large sum of money to redeem her and sent her to the capital.
Mrs. Ji wanted her to enter the Hou Mansion as a down-and-out young lady from a scholarly family and become Yan Hongfei's concubine.
Although she knew she was being used, for Gu Qiushui, being a concubine to the young and handsome Marquis was much better than selling herself in a brothel.
Moreover, Ji promised her. As long as Liu Xinyue is brought down, if she wants to leave the Hou Mansion in the future, she will be given a generous sum of property to send her out.
If she wanted to stay in the Hou Mansion, she would not be left helpless for the rest of her life.
Gu Qiushui's faint distant eyebrows frowned slightly.
"It's not that I'm arrogant. The Marquis is treating me at the height of his affection. It's unlikely that he won't come to see me for many days. I suspect that Taohuawu used some trick."
"Oh?" Ji raised her eyebrows, "What method?"
Gu Qiushui shook his head, "I don't know that clearly."
In terms of appearance, she is much better than the current Liu Xinyue.
In terms of talent, she is not inferior to Liu Xinyue at all.
What's more, she grew up in a hook bar and knew how to capture a man's heart since she was a child.
How could Yan Hongfei be flirting with her one moment and then forget about her the next day?
Mrs. Ji tapped her fingers on the table, thinking silently.
She also noticed that Yan Hongfei was obviously attracted to Liu Xinyue recently.
Not only did I always stay in Taohuawu during holidays, but even when I was doing errands every day, I was not as attentive as before, and I would take leave from time to time.
These changes all started when Liu Xinyue left home and went to Qingxin Temple.
I remembered that my daughter once said that there was a Taoist priest in Qingxin Temple who helped Liu Xinyue steal her luck.
Ji's brows also frowned.
She asked people to check Qingxin Guan, but she couldn't find any information about it.
From this point of view, the Taoist in Qingxin Temple does have some abilities.
Liu Xinyue must have obtained some secret method from him that made Yan Hongfei change his mind overnight.
No, it can’t be said to be a change of heart.
Yan Hongfei's current situation is more like being possessed by some kind of poison. He only sees Liu Xinyue in his eyes and in his heart, and has completely forgotten about his previous ambition to revitalize his family.
"Don't worry, don't act rashly." Ji told Gu Qiushui, "If Aunt Liu really used some extraordinary method to bewitch the Marquis, she must first find out the source."
Gu Qiushui also understood this and naturally followed Ji's orders.
After receiving Ji's words, Gu Qiushui stood up and said goodbye, went back, closed the door of Yuzhu Garden in peace, and lived a peaceful life.
Ji thought for a while but had no idea.
Now she was thinking about two people.
One is the unknown Taoist priest from Qingxin Guan, and the other is Yan Hongfei's brother who has never appeared.
Ji sighed. Both of them seemed to be haunted by ghosts, but there was no news at all.
After calling Tang Rui in, Ji wrote another letter to her eldest brother, sealed it, and ordered Tang Rui to send it to Ji's family in Jiangnan.
That evening, after Yan Hongfei returned home, he went straight to Taohuawu.
Liu Xinyue had just taken a bath, her hair was spread over her shoulders, and she was only wearing pink and purple pajamas. She was holding Yan Wanwan in her arms, humming a tune to coax the child.
Because Yan Hongfei stayed in Taohuawu for many days in a row, Liu Xinyue's living expenses here were much better than before.
Yan Wanwan's nurse no longer dared to be lazy and fed the child well. In a few days, Yan Wanwan seemed to have grown a little, and the white and tender little baby could already be seen to be beautiful in the future.
"A Fei, look at Wan Wan." Liu Xinyue sent her daughter to Yan Hongfei and chuckled, "She looks more and more like you. In the past, the master said that she had a noble destiny, but I only took it as a joke. Now I look at her , but I feel like I might actually be blessed."
After saying that, he whispered a few words into Yan Hongfei's ear.
Yan Hongfei burst out laughing.
