Twilight had arrived, and the room was dark.

The charcoal fire in the brass charcoal basin in the corner of the house was red, Gu Fenglin leaned on the recliner and closed his eyes to recuperate, the white fox fur was on the ground, and his slender and white hands were gently resting on the armrests.

Mu Li only glanced at it, lowered his head, stood with his hands down, and said respectfully, "My lord." “

"Sit." Gu Fenglin opened his eyes and pointed to the stool in front of him.

"The servants don't dare." Mu Li lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.

Gu Fenglin curled the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, looking at him lightly.

After a while, Mu Li felt a fever all over his body, and countless cold sweats rushed out.

Gu Fenglin's eyes were too sharp, and they fell on him as if they were pricked by needles, making all his thoughts nowhere to hide.

Just when he finally couldn't hold it anymore, Gu Fenglin suddenly chuckled.

Mu Li was in a state of flux, forced to composure, and stood up straight.

"You're good."

Gu Fenglin said: "It is worthy of being a person who can hide his age at a young age, seize the opportunity to change his fate, and be quiet, and climb to the position of steward at a young age." “

Mu Li was stunned: "My lord, my servant ......"

Gu Fenglin didn't give him a chance to confess, gently raised his right index finger, and said lightly: "I've seen a lot of people like you." “

Mu Li didn't know what he meant, so he simply kept silent.

"However, I have never seen a few people as young, so bold, and so smart as you."

Gu Fenglin looked at Mu Li, his expression was calm, but he faintly revealed the arrogance of the superior.

This is not deliberately contrived, but a natural flow of majesty and nobility.

Mu Li's back unconsciously straightened a little.

"Ambitious." Gu Fenglin smiled: "If I give you another chance to be an official, what do you think?" “

Mu Li's pupils dilated rapidly, and he couldn't believe it: "What are the adults talking about?" “

"I'm saying, what do you think about Gu Yilan always harassing and coercing you girls?" Gu Fenglin's eyes were dark, and he couldn't distinguish between joy and anger.

Mu Li subconsciously said: "There is no such thing. “

"Really?" Gu Fenglin said lightly, his slender fingers lightly tapped the armrest, and he looked at the charcoal basin and was silent.

The atmosphere in the room was inexplicably stagnant and breathless.

After a while, Mu Li said softly: "My lord, as long as that person can stop hurting the owner, the servants can do anything." “

Gu Fenglin looked at him at this time: "In this case, you will do what I tell you." Remember, you don't need to tell your host about this. “

Mu Li subconsciously said: "But ......"

"It doesn't mean anything for her to know, there is a stumbling path ahead, so let's move her out of the way and let her walk a little easier. Why bother to tell her everything, let her only add to her troubles, don't you say? “

Gu Fenglin's voice was gentle and soft, with a taste of seduction.

"Yes." Mu Li knelt on one knee and saluted: "I am willing to send an envoy for my lord." “

Gu Fenglin nodded: "Don't think about what you shouldn't think, I will give you a good future." “

Did he know something?

Mu Li's heart was so distracted that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Gu Fenglin had already closed his eyes and said softly: "Go, if she asks, you can say that you will ask me about the hot springs." “

"Yes." Mu Li withdrew, and as he passed by the kitchen, he smelled a familiar scent.

He couldn't help but walk to the kitchen and saw Mu Yunhan and Xiaomi busy in front of the stove, cooking all the things that Gu Fenglin liked to eat.

He leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh, then turned and walked unwaveringly into the darkness.
