21. Chapter 21
"Oh my God, how could Gongsun Mansion be so far away! Hey, Qi Guan Gu! Obviously he has so many residences, why do we have to go to the farthest mansion, ah, so boring! β
After a few days of driving, Miss Mu finally couldn't stand it anymore, she leaned on the car window with a helpless face, and complained to the man who was driving the car.
"Because Gongsun Ying's butler is there, and according to the speed of the carriage, there should be about a day or two." And the daily "morning exercise" was originally delayed, and Qi Guan Gu was also a little helpless, "If you don't want to be a big lady, you-"
"Let's get to the next town, let's find two horses." Mu Lingyu sat down to support his chin and lazily interrupted him, "I feel like I'm going to fall apart after sitting all this time." β
Qi Guan Gu: "......" can ride a horse and drive a carriage, Miss!
Mu Lingyu glanced at him, "If you can enjoy it, you naturally have to enjoy it, but now that this enjoyment has become suffering, then you naturally have to give up." β
"Yes, yes, Miss, you're right." The official did not refute her words, and completely and unconditionally agreed.
Mu Lingyu narrowed her dark eyes slightly, and suddenly grabbed the man's ear, and her tone was full of threats, "Do you want to go to heaven, and you dare to be so perfunctory to Miss Ben!" β
Qi Guan Gu was pulled crooked, and smiled bitterly and screamed in pain, "How dare I, eldest miss, don't you think you are too right, so you can only agree like this?" β
"I think your skin is itchy again, waiting to be pumped." Miss Mu let go of her hand, and the corners of her lips raised an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "I only came once in the early morning, and now it's only been a few hours, so I'm looking forward to itββ"
Qi Guan Gu rubbed his ears that were red aggrievedly, and glanced at her sadly, "If you don't agree with each other, you have to do it?" β
"Less nonsense." The girl rolled her eyes at him, "Why don't we hurry up and find an inn to stay in the next town, or we'll be sleeping out again." β
The official looked at the sky and sighed melancholy, "Alas, the world is going down, it's really hot and coldββ"
He is also quite famous in the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't want to be oppressed and bullied like this, it's really sad to think about.
"What did you say?"
Looking at the threatening expression in the girl's dark and clear eyes, Qi Guan Gu pulled out an innocent smile and looked straight ahead, "No, did I say anything just now haha, you must have heard it wrong~"
Mu Lingyu: "......" Is this guy getting more and more in love with death recently? I actually learned the dogleg skill β_β without a teacher
Fortunately, the carriage soon arrived in the town, and Qi Guan Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was great not to be tossed by the boring eldest lady_(:Π)β )_
"Two upper rooms, prepare bath water in addition, trouble a little faster."
As soon as the official Gu finished explaining to the shopkeeper, Miss Mu, who was left behind, had already passed him and went upstairs.
"Hey, Qi Guan Gu!"
Just as the shopkeeper accepted the silver he handed over with a smile, Miss Mu's seemingly anxious summoning voice suddenly came from upstairs.
Qi Guan Gu nodded apologetically to the shopkeeper, and hurriedly went upstairs to find the girl's figure.
"What's wrong, Miss?" Seeing that the girl was standing upright, Qi Guan Gu breathed a sigh of relief and asked suspiciously.
"I just saw a familiar figure, but I'm not sure if it's him." Mu Lingyu stood at the bend of the stairs, frowning and looking stern.
Qi Guan Gu didn't think about it so much, just smiled helplessly, and then raised his eyebrows and replied disappreciatively, "It shouldn't be strange to see acquaintances, right?" β
"What if this man should have died a long time ago?"
Mu Lingyu sneered, raised her chin high, and looked sharply at one of the rooms not far from her.
Qi Guan Gu was stunned, and suddenly his face was stern, and he guessed in surprise, "Could it be ...... The housekeeper? β
The girl hugged her arms and said coldly with a somewhat unsightly "um", "Uncle Housekeeper's words, I must not be mistaken, because he watched me grow up, but the problem is - I saw him kill himself by poisoning himself in front of my father." β
Saying this, her tone also lowered, and her voice was hoarse, "I can't forget that picture, so I thought about being kind to Uncle Housekeeper may be the only bloodline left outside, even if my father can't take her into the village......"
If he is still alive, who is she doing this kindness to?
- The old idea is really ridiculous now.
Qi Guan Gu strangely understood her unfinished meaning, and looked at her gloomy face that was no longer radiant, and his heart couldn't help but hurt a little inexplicably.
So he gently tentatively put his arms around the girl, and when he saw that she did not resist, he boldly pressed her head on his chest, and comforted softly in a low, magnetic voice, "You're not sure if that person is him, are you?" Maybe it's just that they look too similar, and you're just mistaken at a glance. β
"Nonsense, my eyesight has always been the best."
After a pause, just when Qi Guan Gu thought that she would not reply again, the girl's muffled voice suddenly sounded.
The man couldn't help but chuckle, Mu Lingyu could feel his chest vibrating slightly, and his ears were surrounded by his unique chic and playful laughter.
Miss Mu suddenly felt that her cheeks were inexplicably hot.
She covered the tips of her reddish ears, a little puzzled why she had such a reaction, and then seemed to realize that she was in the man's arms, and couldn't help but quickly push him away and took a step back, "Dare to take advantage of Miss Ben and look for death!" β
Qi Guan Gu, who just felt that his heart couldn't stop softening: "......" is this changing too fast!
Mu Lingyu rubbed his ears uncomfortably, stared at the sharp phoenix eyes and ordered, "Hmph, hurry up and forget what I looked like just now, did you hear it!" β
The arrogant and awkward lady is really cute.
Qi Guan Gu spread his hands and looked innocent, as for whether he would do it or not, naturally only he knew.
"Then nowβ" He spoke tentatively, and seeing that the girl had no intention of resisting, he continued to ask reassuringly, "Let's first secretly observe whether that person is a housekeeper, don't startle the snake, how about it?" β
Mu Lingyu bit her lip before nodding unwillingly.
So early the next morning, Miss Mu broke into Qi Guan Gu's room with a big grin, and grabbed the quilt on his bed, "Big lazy pig, get upβhuh?" β
How is it empty?
The girl tilted her head in confusion and looked around again, only to realize that the room was empty.
And in fact, he heard the movement, so he was wary of the young man who was hiding and preparing to take down the person secretly: "......"
He walked out of the corner in embarrassment, put the long sword back into its scabbard, and helplessly said to the eldest lady who turned her head when she heard the voice, "Miss, when you came in, why didn't you say it in advance. β
β_β used to at least shout at the door......
"Are you sick and hiding there, are you still going to review your childhood life and play games?" Mu Lingyu was taken aback, and couldn't help patting his chest sarcastically.
Qi Guan Gu was speechless, "It's my fault, my fault, I didn't know that the eldest lady came to me, so what happened to the eldest lady so early?" β
It's not convenient to whip here......
In a certain aspect, the young man who is still desperate to save face thought a little awkwardly.
"Didn't you say that you wanted to secretly observe that man, and you said that you wouldn't let me startle the snake!" Mu Lingyu retorted very confidently, "Your room is diagonally opposite his room, and it is natural for me to come to you!" β
Qi Guan Gu: "......"
Miss Mu actually heard him build a rare time, although there seemed to be some problems with the action, but this sour feeling was really unexpectedly complicated......
"Oh, stop arguing, hurry up, there's going to be movement over there!" Hearing a slight sound coming from the room diagonally opposite, Mu Lingyu hurriedly grabbed the crack in the door and observed it with a stiff face.
The man looked at her somewhat ridiculous appearance, and almost laughed, afraid that she would hear, so he hurriedly clenched his fist to his lips to hold back the smile, and then also looked at the girl through the crack in the door.
In a few moments, the door was slowly opened.
The person who came out of it was a thin man of medium height with a pockmarked face and an ordinary appearance.
He seemed a little uncomfortable, and when he turned around and closed the door, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
Mu Lingyu was stunned.
"Ah Yu, is that the person?" I didn't expect that the housekeeper was so unstunning, he clearly remembered that although the aesthetics of the people in Muyan Villa were a little distorted, they all looked at their faces to be outstanding. So Guan Gu couldn't help but turn his face a little strangely, and then asked softly.
- And the title "Ah Yu" was blurted out, and it was too fast to take it back.
"It's not him......" Mu Lingyu straightened up with a complicated expression, not knowing whether to relax or continue to doubt, she muttered in a low voice, "But yesterday he didn't look the same as today......
"What's the difference?"
"I can't tell." The girl's hand on the door suddenly clenched, "I only saw his side face yesterday, but that familiar feeling is impossible to hide, so I wanted to look at him head-on, but-"
"Looking at it today, even that familiar feeling is gone."
A flash of inspiration flashed in Qi Guan Gu's mind, could it be ......
"Disguise?"
Mu Lingyu looked blankly, "What?" β
"Ah Yu, if you can be sure that he is the housekeeper, then he must be disguised." Qi Guan Gu explained to her gently thoughtfully.
"Easy to look ......" Mu Lingyu frowned, "You mean, his appearance may be wearing β‘β‘ or makeup to make it easy to look like?" β
"It's possible, isn't it?"
The man confidently curled the corners of his lips, "If you deliberately hide, isn't the most effective way to disguise so that others can't recognize you?" β
