Back in Liuyun Courtyard, it was already the fourth watch, because some time ago, when the old lady was happy, Gu Zhirong proposed to repair his yard and build a small kitchen, so that he didn't have to trouble the big kitchen if he boiled hot water or something on weekdays.

At that time, the old lady made great contributions because Gu Zhirong saved the face of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and she attached special importance and favor to her, so she simply responded to it, and the next day she took action, and invited craftsmen to add another small kitchen in Liuyun Courtyard.

At this time, Gu Zhirong had already taken over all the assets that the original three rooms had in the old lady, and he had a lot of money on hand, which was more than enough to supply a small kitchen. Moreover, since taking over, Gu Zhirong has been very considerate of the old lady's mood and set the amount to be paid to the public middle school, which made the old lady very satisfied, and even more so for this granddaughter.

Moreover, there has been no special care for this granddaughter over the years, and the old lady still feels a little guilty in her heart, so because of these reasons, Gu Zhirong's status in the mansion has risen, and the people in the mansion have also respected her because of the change in the old lady's attitude, and her status has surpassed that of the second lady, and everything has become smooth.

In Liu Yun's courtyard, the hot water had already been boiled, Mingyue had suffered a head injury and couldn't stay up all night, Gu Zhirong sent her to sleep, leaving Lushui and Mu Jin to wait.

After bathing, the snow geese in the room have moved to the brazier, and the room is as warm as spring. Mu Jin spent the night in the outer room, but Gu Zhirong was completely sleepless, and called Mu Jin to come in and talk.

"Mu Jin, let's go see Mr. Lu when we have time. Gu Zhi said.

Mu Jin nodded and said, "Miss is right." The slave and maid will arrange it. ”

The arrangement that Mu Jin pointed out was to say hello to Mr. Lu first, and see if Mr. Lu was free. However, during this time, Lu Gongzi has been staying in the Bac Ninh Palace. There are many rules in this palace, but I am afraid that it is not as easy as before to make an appointment with Lu Gongzi.

"We don't have to make a special trip to the Bac Ninh Palace. Gu Zhirong shook his head and said, "Such a reckless past is not good, it will affect him." Moreover, if it is spread out, others will think that he is greedy for the private affairs of his children. I don't want to take the exam. If it reaches Uncle Lu's ears, I am afraid that there will be more obstacles to my relationship with him. ”

Mu Jin sighed slightly and said, "Miss, you are so considerate of Master Lu. Does he know?"

Gu Zhirong smiled and said, "If he knew my heart, he would definitely know." ”

Mu Jin said again: "But Miss, the slave maid thinks that although this period of time is the most nervous time for Lu Gongzi. But. Lu Gongzi is a person with real talent and learning, he is not the kind of person who is temporarily cramming, Miss is busy dealing with things in and out of the house during this time, and she really left Lu Gongzi out in the cold, so you should really ask him to meet him in private, and it is good to cheer him up. ”

Gu Zhirong thought about it, but still shook his head: "Forget it, let's wait until he finishes the exam." I'm really afraid it will affect him. And, he'll understand. ”

Mu Jin then stopped talking.

Lu Gongzi is a gentle and considerate person. The empathetic Pianpian son, upright, kind, is a person worthy of lifelong trust, with his feelings with his own young lady over the years, he should be able to understand his own young lady's hard work, right?

Besides, his own young lady is kind to him. Over the years, he has been ostracized by his father's stepfamily in Ning'anhou, if it weren't for his own young lady's uninterrupted funding over the years, how could he be so attentive to his studies, famous in the capital, and the time for the gold list nomination is just around the corner?

is the so-called kindness of people, that or something, the most important thing for readers, presumably that Lu Gongzi will not betray Miss, right?

Thinking like this, I didn't feel a trace of sleep. Gradually, I heard that Gu Zhirong was breathing steadily in the dark night, and knew that she was asleep, so she tiptoed back to the outside room and slept indiscriminately.

But on the side of the eldest lady, this night was destined to be an unquiet night.

The eldest lady has no children, and her husband is nowhere to be found, and he did not comfort and take care of her in front of the sickbed, completely ignoring her existence, which makes the eldest lady who has always been arrogant even more panicked, and the doctor confessed, can not work hard, and the words of peace of mind and recuperation are all left behind, and smash things vigorously, making the whole Juping courtyard chickens and dogs jump, not peaceful, at the beginning, there are people to return to the old lady, and the old lady also sent Du's mother to come and see a few times, and then she was tired of it, so she had to go, regardless of it.

That night, the eldest lady finished smashing a set of entwined lotus tea sets, and was leaning on the pillow to gasp. Cai's mother had just persuaded her twice, but the eldest lady was actually angry with her and scolded her.

Mother Cai couldn't get angry, and finally couldn't help but say: "Big lady, don't think the old slave is verbose, if the old slave doesn't persuade the lady to order again, I'm afraid that this big house will soon be in a big disaster." ”

The eldest lady was taken aback suddenly, looked up unkempt, looked at Cai's mother, and her face was shocked: "What's wrong with our big house, why is there a big disaster?"

The eldest lady makes the temperament belong to the temperament, and once it involves the interests of her own room, she immediately becomes sensitive and sharp.

She stared at Cai's mother with blazing eyes, staring at the latter all over her body, and involuntarily took a step back.

"Tell me, what happened?" said the eldest lady sharply, "Has our big house provoked any nobleman? Why is it a big disaster?"

Cai's mother Fang Cai was in a hurry, and she said it for a while, but now when she saw the fierce eyes of the eldest lady, she couldn't help but hesitate whether to say it or not.

"Tell me, you're trying to me off. The eldest lady sat up suddenly, pointed at Cai's mother and said, "You don't want to say it quickly, do you still want to be angry with me?"

Cai's mother was startled, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and begged: "Madam, the old slave has been with the lady for decades, don't drive the old slave away." ”

The eldest lady said angrily: "If you don't want me to kick you out of the house, you can quickly make it clear." ”

Cai's mother gritted her teeth and looked open-minded: "Madam, it's a matter of Sister Fang'er." ”

"What about Sister Fang?" the eldest lady was taken aback and stared at Cai's mother, who flickered to avoid the eldest lady's gaze.

"Get up and speak!" said the eldest lady, "tell me what happened clearly!"

Mother Cai then stood up and told everything she had found about the second lady and the Wumuhou Mansion, and finally, she didn't forget to add: "Madam, all this is the old slave's own speculation, don't be angry with Sister Fang, maybe the old slave guessed randomly." ”

"Guess?" the eldest lady said hatefully, "I don't know the daughter I gave birth to?" No wonder she looked unruly at the queen mother's birthday banquet, no wonder I repeatedly urged her to have a good relationship with the prince and contact the prince more, but she was indifferent and didn't care at all. ”

Cai's mother hurriedly said: "Madam, don't think like this, Sister Fang, it's still towards you, otherwise, she wouldn't be so active in practicing the piano." ”

Seeing that the eldest lady raised her eyebrows, she hurriedly said: "Although Sister Fang had an accident at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, but all along, she didn't listen to what you said? This time it was just a small situation, if it can be corrected, it would be the best." Madam, Sister Fang'er thinks about you the most, if you can talk to her well, she will change her mind. ”

The eldest lady gritted her teeth and said, "I'll tell her well." (To be continued.) )
