In the next few days, Gu Yan came back very late. Chu Yu would boil him chicken soup every night and wait outside Du Yu to pick him up.

The two of them didn't talk much on the way back to the house, Chu Yu only told him about the movements in the east courtyard as usual, and he responded one by one, and the two didn't talk about anything else.

Chu Yu only thought that he was busy with martial arts, and he didn't notice his loss. It wasn't until this evening that he asked her, "How long have you been in the house?" ”

Chu Yu was stunned and replied seriously: "It's been eight years." ”

Eight years, which happened to be the year he left Yuwangfu to go to the North Starling.

This time he raised his face and stared at her: "How did you get into the house?" ”

Chu Yu didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, but he had already told Gu Yuan that he wanted to hide the fact that she had entered the mansion, so he replied according to what Gu Yuan gave before: "It was the eldest lady who bought it into the mansion from the human teeth, and the old lady saw that I was diligent and flexible, so she asked the eldest lady to arrange for slaves and maids to serve her in her yard." ”

"In this way, you are very appreciated by the old lady." As soon as Gu Yan heard this, he knew that he was coaxing, and if he asked a maid in the Xie family's courtyard about this kind of words, he was all over the place.

"No, it's just that the old lady arranged to serve you." Chu Yu's face remained silent and cleaned up the dishes and spoons on the table.

"Good."

He once again said the two words he said on the night when the two of them first met, and they fell on Chu Yu's ears, making her tremble in her heart.

Tomorrow is the day of the opening of the Autumn Martial Arts Examination, and she doesn't know what changes Gu Yan will encounter.

However, she didn't show it on her face.

Gu Yan quietly looked at the vast night outside the car window, and when he waited until tomorrow, he would know if the Xie family was really good for him, and how would she frame him with that booklet?

Before going to bed, Chu Yu prepared his robe for tomorrow's chief examiner, and when he turned around, he saw that he had fallen asleep.

He has been so busy these days that everyone has lost weight, and the facial features on his face have become more linear, and the childishness of the youth has weakened and added a bit of youthful bone beauty.

Chu Yu was stunned, if such a person didn't have the years of the North Starling, he would be very brilliant in Dachu, right?

But at this time, how could she know that even if he was burdened with the brand of humiliation in those years, he would still be brilliant in the future.

The lights were turned off, and Chu Yu closed the door.

The next day, Gu Yan got up early, and he had to go to Duyu Si early to prepare to welcome Wuzi, who had already entered Beijing these days to prepare to participate in this autumn martial arts. Chu Yu put on the robe for him, carefully smoothed the lines on his back, and when everything was ready, he sent the person to the door, folded his hands in front of him, and watched the person get into the carriage and go to Du Yusi.

Until the curtain fell, Gu Yan didn't look at her again.

Chu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and when the carriage was far away and was about to turn around and enter the mansion, he almost bumped into Gu Yuan who was coming towards him, "Be careful." Gu Yuan grabbed her shoulders so that she wouldn't be bumped into.

"Thank you, eldest son." Chu Yu took a step back, escaped his touch, and saluted.

"You and I don't have to say thank you all the time. And if you want to say thank you, I have to thank you. Gu Yuan looked at Gu Yan's carriage that was driving away, the corners of his thin lips smiled, and he said slowly: "It depends on whether the third prince has his life back today." ”

As soon as he spoke, Chu Yu's heart immediately sank, and even his breathing became short, but his face did not show any worry: "Then the slave will congratulate the eldest prince first." Her apricot eyes smiled a little, hiding the uneasiness in her eyes.

Gu Yuan smiled and strode into the carriage.

Chu Yugong sent him away, and immediately ran back to the courtyard and asked the subordinates in the east courtyard to guard the courtyard. And told them that if the third prince did not come back tonight, he would want to go to Liufangzhai to find the old lady, saying that the third son's life was in danger, and let her go to the back door of the east courtyard.

In the past month, she could see that the Xie family did not really hate Gu Yan for transgressing the rules and etiquette, and in her heart, she still hoped that Gu Yan would be good.

After she finished giving the order, she ran back to the house to change into civilian clothes, took a few bottles of emergency medicine and a dagger and hid them in her sleeve, and quietly slipped out of the back door of the east courtyard.
