It's a good thing to use force to fight. Qin's mother didn't follow to Ningguo Temple, so she didn't hear Yang's words, but Biyun heard them both.
"Yes, Madam! Aunt Yang originally wanted to know if someone was trying to harm her. If Madam tells her, she will only be more grateful to you in the future!"
Biyun clapped her hands.
"I heard that the Duke of Guo often went to Qingfeng Garden in the past two days and rewarded Aunt Yang with many things. I think the Duke of Guo also values her pregnancy!"
Mother Qin only said these words knowing that Madam had completely given up on the Duke.
"Biyun, go to Qingfeng Garden and talk to Yang... no, talk to the girl named Luyun next to Yang about the silk flowers!"
Gu Yunqing thought of Yang's cowardice, but the maid next to her was capable.
"yes!"
Biyun went out quickly.
Gu Yunqing has a lot of things going on these days. First, Rong Yue and Rong Ying are going to get married before the year, and second, their son is engaged.
Of course, she basically left the first one to Qin’s mother to do, while the latter one was done by herself.
On this day, Taoye did not return to the outer courtyard and stayed with Gu Yunqing to serve him.
Rong Jiu came either early or late, and when dinner was about to be served, Gu Yunqing just asked, and the voice of a little maid greeting her came from outside.
Gu Yunqing motioned to Taoye and the others to go out and prepare the meal, while he sat on the couch in the back and straightened his face.
"Fifth Young Master!"
Taoye followed Biyun and the two of them as they bowed and walked towards the table without looking away. But Rongjiu, on the other hand, took advantage of the call and inadvertently looked her up and down before going inside.
"Who made mother angry?"
After saying goodbye, Rong Jiu pretended to be surprised.
In fact, when he entered the door, Qin's mother had already asked someone to tell him what happened during the day.
But Gu Yunqing didn't know.
"Is there anything you are hiding from your mother? Tell the truth!"
Gu Yunqing couldn't help but feel happy when she saw her handsome and upright son, her eyebrows stretched unconsciously, and she finally kept a straight face.
"How dare I hide something important from my mother? I need to think carefully about this?"
Rong Jiu pretended to think deeply, but later she even frowned.
His facial features were extremely delicate and beautiful, but others would inevitably feel unbearable when they saw this frown, let alone Gu Yunqing, who loved his son as much as his life.
I left my son alone for only half a quarter of an hour before I couldn't hold it any longer.
It's cold, so the food outside should also be cold.
"The thing about Qingmei..."
Gu Yunqing couldn't help but remind him, but as soon as he stood up, his son took him over: "It turns out that this is what my mother said, that Qingmei got the medicine from Aunt Luo and wanted to use it on her son, but After all, she is a person sent by her aunt, and if things get too big, it will not be good for her and my cousin!"
"That's why Qin's mother hid it from her mother!"
Rong Jiu spoke without hesitation.
"This Qingmei is really cheating. Not only did he do such a despicable thing, but he also conspired with Luo. Fortunately, the medicine is not poisonous!"
Gu Yunqing patted the table beside him.
"Mother is hurt by anger, so be careful!"
Rong Jiu coaxed.
"Qingxing and Qingmei have been together for so long, and now it seems that she has evil intentions. She should be sent to Zhuangzi in a few days!"
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. My aunt only sent two of them away. If they were all sent to Zhuangzi, wouldn't it make her face difficult?"
Rong Jiu shook his head.
After hearing what his son said, Gu Yunqing became dissatisfied with his eldest sister for the first time.
The last time she entered the palace, the eldest sister indiscriminately accused Taoye, a maid, about Qingmei. These days, she frequently asked her servants to tell her to enter the palace because of the matter of Miss Xie's third daughter.
Because of the chrysanthemum banquet, the Cao Mansion and the Xie Mansion were in a quarrel, and the capital was in an uproar. The Cao Mansion came directly with the betrothal gift, and even Taifu Xie was so angry that he asked for leave for a few days. The eldest sister actually asked Ajiu to marry him. Xie's daughter, in her words, also mentioned that if Ajiu married Miss Xie San, Master Xie would be very grateful and would be good for Ajiu's future.
Although she wanted to find someone with a similar family background, she also wanted to avoid humiliating her son. As for the in-law relationship, she didn't care. She just hoped that her son would be safe and smooth.
Moreover, Ajiu has clearly rejected this matter in front of His Majesty, but the eldest sister still mentioned it openly and secretly.
The Xie family's reputation was probably not for Ajiu's future, but for the sake of the prince.
She and her eldest sister had been close since childhood. Her mother died young and her eldest sister took care of many things around her. However, Gu Yunqing felt that her eldest sister's love for her had become a little blurred over the years.
"Don't worry, mother, my son will definitely not hide it from you next time!"
"Hey, this is a day's worth, and my stomach is empty..."
Seeing his mother's expression, Rong Jiu seemed to have a flash of light in her eyes.
"Hurry up and have a meal. It's cold these days and the food will get cold quickly!"
After Gu Yunqing thought about those things, he felt even more sorry for his son. He didn't care about being angry anymore. He stood up and walked out. Rong Jiu hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Mother and son had a cordial meal.
On the way back to the front yard, the moonlight was bright.
Rong Jiu walked in front, and Tao Ye followed behind with his body lowered.
The wind at night was quite chilly. Since falling into the water, Tao Ye was even more afraid of the cold and could not help but shiver a few times.
"come over!"
Rong Jiu suddenly turned around.
Taoye walked over obediently, and as soon as she reached the person, she was held in his arms, and his warm breath warmed half of her body.
She adjusted her posture slightly and found a position that would not hinder her walking and allow her to get more warmth.
Rong Jiu allowed the little maid to move, but held her tighter.
As he was about to leave the garden, a dark figure hurriedly came in front of him with his head lowered, and he almost bumped into him.
Just as Taoye was about to speak out to remind him, she was already being held by the Fifth Young Master and took a few steps to the side.
"Fifth brother!"
The man was also startled, and it was only when he stood firm that he could see the person clearly.
"Third brother, are you still here so late?"
Rong Jiu looked cold, but Taoye could tell that the fifth young master was not bored with the third young master.
"Yes... I'm going to grab some medicine outside the house for my mother!"
Taoye looked at Rong Wen's hand and saw several pairs of medicines on her right hand, which were exactly the same as the ones she saw the last time she and the third young master bumped into each other.
Rong Jiu gave a faint hum and was about to walk forward.
"Fifth brother!"
After taking two steps, I heard Rong Wen's slightly hesitant voice from behind.
"On behalf of my aunt, I would like to thank Madam for taking care of the matter at Ningguo Temple!"
"Thank you also to fifth brother for taking care of me and my aunt on weekdays!"
Perhaps because of Aunt Yang's influence, Rong Wen did not dare to look at people's faces when speaking, and always had a timid and avoidant look on her face.
However, Aunt Yang's cowardice is more due to her own temperament, while Third Young Master's is due to his lack of confidence.
"There's no need to say thank you for this. I've already told you that helping you is a way of repaying the favor of the day!"
"But you can't live forever relying on the occasional kindness from others!"
Rong Jiu glanced at Rong Wen, then carried Tao Ye out of the garden.
Rong Wen stood there for a long time. She didn't come back to her senses until her face became cold.
For my aunt, next year’s scientific examination...
