Unlike Luo who was born as a maid, Aunt Yang was the daughter of the county chief secretary. Although the county chief secretary was only a ninth-rank official, she could still be considered an official. She was the daughter of Rong Yanbo, who had returned from Beidi in triumph that year, and was transferred from a remote place. Brought back by Xiaoxian.
Her father was a pedantic scholar who abided by the rules of superiority and inferiority. Yang had been influenced by it and had been cautious since she was a child. After entering the Duke's palace, she also wanted to serve her mistress well, but she brought the clothes she had embroidered with her own hands. Once she went to the main courtyard to say hello, the lady asked her not to go there in the future.
Gu Yunqing didn't like it, so she tried not to hang around in front of others.
"Madam does despise those foreign things, but who knows that madam hates the one she hates the most..."
After Lu Yun finished speaking, he nuzzled in the direction of Cao's courtyard.
"If my aunt hadn't been guarding against that person, she wouldn't have been in danger today. Moreover, I feel that today's incident may be due to that person's handiwork!"
Lu Yun continued to speak softly.
"If it weren't for such a coincidence, the raccoon cat would pounce on you!"
"But...but we have no evidence!"
Yang hesitated.
"Didn't the person who framed Madam back then have no solid evidence? Didn't the Duke believe it too?"
Yang's face became even more hesitant. The Duke of Guo loved and valued Luo Shi, how could she compare to her.
"Auntie! There has been no good news in the house for more than ten years. Now that you are pregnant, and the Duke is about to reach the age where he knows his destiny, how can he not be happy!"
Lu Yun was good at tempting.
"And since what happened to the second young master, the Duke has been resting in the front yard more often. Even if you are not worried about the baby, you still have to think about the third young master. The marriages of several young masters have been settled, but we, the third young master, There’s not even a person who can make the decision!”
Lu Yun was sincere for his master. As long as Luo Shi gained power in the house, neither the aunt nor the third young master would think of getting ahead.
The third young master's literary talent is not inferior to that of the first young master, but his status in the mansion is not even as good as that of a decent steward.
"Let me try!"
Yang's face finally wavered.
Not to mention the secret talks between the master and the servant in the west wing, here in the main room, Gu Yunqing looked at the silk flowers Biyun took out, and after hearing Tao Ye's words, a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.
There are only three people with good status in the residence of Duke Jingguo. If what happened today was done by someone, it would be obvious who it is.
"After you return home, you can secretly send it to Natian's doctor to take a look at it to see what its potential is."
"Thankfully you were alert today, otherwise this dirty water would have been poured on me again!"
Gu Yunqing looked at Tao Ye and said happily.
"Aunt Luo doesn't like this slave, so she paid more attention when she asked her to help Aunt Yang!"
"By the way, madam, I also remembered something. On that day, Manager Cao and others from the big kitchen framed the fifth young master for stealing the goat milk portion of Qingfeng Garden. At that time, Aunt Luo should have already known that Aunt Yang was pregnant!"
Taoye reminded.
"Roche has stretched out his hands on Ajiu!"
Gu Yunqing's face turned cold.
"Qingxing, when you return home, tell Mother Qin that this matter must be investigated!"
This time Gu Yunqing was determined.
Taoye lowered his gaze.
The Duke of Guo, because of the mischief that the second young master was doing outside, had obviously become cold to Aunt Luo these days. At this moment, if Madam strikes, even if she can't hit her with one hit, she will definitely injure Aunt Luo.
Yang's pregnancy was fine for the time being, and Gu Yunqing had made an appointment with Mrs. Bowanghou early, so in the afternoon, he took Chen Shujun to the back mountain to enjoy plum blossoms.
The plum blossoms at Ningguo Temple always bloom about a month earlier than elsewhere, especially the red plum blossoms.
However, since it was still early, most of them were just buds, but when they were connected together, they were very beautiful.
Gu Yunqing and Mrs. Lu walked in the plum forest for a while, then sat down in the pavilion in the middle.
Sitting in this pavilion, you have a good view. There are several plum blossom branches inserted diagonally next to it, which is particularly interesting. There is also the sound of gurgling water not far away.
"Mrs. Rong, I heard that the spring water in the back mountain is very good. It is not only sweet, but also has the fragrance of plum blossoms in the plum forest, but I have never had a chance to taste it!"
"What's so difficult about this? I asked the ladies to bring tea stove snacks today, and when it comes to making tea, Tao Ye's craftsmanship is rare!"
Gu Yunqing knew how to enjoy himself and entertain guests, so he had already asked his wives to arrange everything in advance.
"Madam, please go and get some spring water!"
Taoye bowed to several people, then took the teapot to get water.
The teapot was not big, so Biyun and Bixiao did not help.
Chen Shujun wanted to go and have a look, but she happened to be pulled by Gu Yunqing to talk, so it was difficult to get away.
The mountain breeze was slightly chilly, and the closer the sound of water got, the colder it became, and Tao Ye couldn't help but shrink down.
Her feet moved faster, preparing to catch the spring water and leave here earlier.
Holding her skirt, she climbed up a few stone steps and walked to the spring pool. Taoye was about to lean over to catch the spring water when she saw two figures interspersed in the plum forest not far below. The plum blossoms there were still there. There were only branches and peach leaves, but after a closer look, I could see the person clearly. One was the second young lady Rong Shu, and the other turned out to be the fourth prince.
Seeing this scene, a scene immediately emerged in Taoye's heart, which was the unusual look between the two during the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.
At this moment, Taoye happened to see the fourth prince turn around. She could see the figure clearly, and the people below could also see her.
Taoye hugged the teapot tightly and lowered her body, hiding behind the nearby stone wall.
This stone wall was a bit narrow, so Taoye hugged her arms tightly.
Just as she was carefully watching whether the hem of her skirt would be exposed, her back ran into a warm embrace, and then her mouth was covered by a pair of big, calloused hands.
If she hadn't keenly smelled the familiar agarwood scent on her sleeves, Taoye would have almost struggled subconsciously.
"Silence!"
Seeing the little maid nodding, Rong Jiu put down her hand.
"Why is the fifth young master here?"
The stone wall was narrow, Tao Ye was hugged tightly, and there was no space between the two of them.
Just as Rong Jiu moved her lower lip, the fourth prince Qi Yunzhan came over half-armed with Rong Shu.
Aren't they going to come up too?
Taoye stared at the stone steps on the other side.
Fortunately, the two of them did not walk towards the stone steps, but walked straight down.
"It's hidden here, no one will find it!"
The two stopped right below Taoye and the others, so even though Taoye's left ear didn't work, she could still hear the difference in the voice.
This is……
Taoye was still surprised, but the two people below were already doing something.
"Your Majesty..."
With this soft and melodious voice, Rong Shu's skirt was untied and fell to the ground. The man's breathing and the woman's soft and tender cry penetrated the ears of the two people above.
"The little fairy is getting better and better at seducing people!"
A crisp sound came from below.
Then there was another low and gentle squeaking sound.
The peach leaf above also turned red, but it was not caused by the movements of the two people below, but...
