Gu Baiyu told Xiao Yanlin about his guess, and after Xiao Yanlin listened, he shook his head lightly: "No, I'm afraid their plans don't stop there." ”

Gu Baiyu was stunned: "Why do you say this?" ”

Xiao Yan paused, and then said: "In the past, we had already taken care of the affairs in the northwest, and provoked those officials in the northwest who distributed the spoils unevenly, but now, they suddenly united and were unanimously unwilling to stand up. ”

Gu Baiyu was not feeling well during this time, and he paid less attention to these things, thinking that this matter was about to be decided, but now it sounds, it doesn't seem to be that simple?

Xiao Yanlin saw her question and nodded: "The low grain yield in the northwest and the poverty of the people have always been the knot in His Majesty's heart. Now that the situation in the court is one-sided, even the prince's party has to avoid the edge for the time being, Zuo Lingfeng is a smart person, and he will not be the enemy of the second prince at this time - he knows the friendship between Gu Ruan Ruan and the second prince. ”

The recipe for the fertile field?

Gu Baiyu didn't feel unfamiliar with this thing.

It's the same thing that Gu Ruan Ruan taught Xiao Ruoyun in his previous life.

Xiao Ruoyun used these things to really win a lot of respect in the court, and his status naturally rose later.

The reason why the affairs in the northwest gave Xiao Yanlin an opportunity to take advantage of it was, in the final analysis, that the interests were limited, and those local officials were all fed up, and the benefits brought by a waterwheel were not enough for them to unite as one.

But now, isn't there one more recipe for fertilizing the field?

At that time, it was a huge amount of money, no wonder they all began to unite and be cautious, profitable, and naturally became grasshoppers on the same boat.

After contacting everything before, Gu Baiyu finally understood when he heard this.

Now, the confrontation between them and Gu Ruan Ruan is no longer just a dispute in the back house.

It also involved the power of the court, no wonder Zuo Lingfeng couldn't even take care of his sister's grievances this time.

"Then Lord Zuo's side, it's going to be fine, right?"

Xiao Yanlin nodded: "It shouldn't be fine." Not to mention that Zuo Lingfeng is very popular with the emperor now, and he is also very cautious in his own style, he should just be caught in it for a while, and it will be fine if he finds it out. ”

Xiao Yanlin's tone was a little apologetic: "But Gu Ruan Ruan's side, I'm afraid I can't touch her anymore for the time being." ”

Gu Baiyu hurriedly shook his head: "I don't care about this, if I don't want to get justice for the Zuo family brothers and sisters, I wouldn't be too lazy to waste time on her." Now that the affairs of the court are the top priority, the Hou Mansion no longer has to worry about the trivial matters of the back house, and the political affairs are important. ”

While talking, the carriage had stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

There were already people waiting in the study, and Xiao Yanlin insisted on sending Gu Baiyu back to the room and left in a hurry.

And Xiao Ruoyun followed behind......

Gu Baiyu was surprised to find that he didn't look as depressed as he imagined, but instead had a sense of urgency and self-motivation like a goal.

It's just so weird.

Gu Baiyu vaguely felt that such Xiao Ruoyun made her very familiar, and she couldn't remember it for a while.

After all, after being reborn, she saw that Xiao Ruoyun had always been the soft-hearted and easily persuaded good old man at the beginning.

Living under the protection of his brother all day long, he does things a little slowly, he doesn't care much about many things, he looks leisurely and complacent, and his life is fixed.

Gu Baiyu tossed for a long time today, and his body was already very tired.

If I had changed my normal life, I might have fallen asleep a long time ago.

But today, her body is very tired, and her mind maintains a strange euphoria, which keeps her in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake.

In a daze, Gu Baiyu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly woke up!

She finally remembered why Xiao Ruoyun was so strange.

I finally remembered where I had seen such Xiao Ruoyun, and why it was so familiar and unfamiliar.

She remembered it all!

She had seen such Xiao Ruoyun before.

At that time, she was already seriously ill in bed, Gu Ruan Ruan had almost become the hostess of the Hou Mansion, and Xiao Ruoyun, with the help of Gu Ruan Ruan, was no longer the "younger brother of Xiao Yanlin, Hou of Zhenbei", as others said, but became a rookie in the court, and everyone praised Lord Xiao.

At that time, Xiao Ruoyun slowly broke away from the aura of Xiao Yanlin's brother, and had his own power and status, and some people once compared his achievements with Xiao Yanlin.

Xiao Ruoyun was like this at that time.

And Gu Baiyu finally saw Gu Ruanruan's purpose this time.

Maybe one more point -

Let Xiao Ruoyun be independent, and no longer listen to his brother's arrangement for everything.

Gu Baiyu's mood was a little complicated, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

Gu Ruan Ruan has really changed.

This move is really beautiful.

The reason for this is that Gu Ruan Ruan and Gu Baiyu have always been at a disadvantage in the competition, and it is inseparable from Xiao Ruoyun's inaction and cowardice.

And now, she chose not to break or stand, which made the relationship between the two brothers suspicious, and Xiao Ruoyun would naturally fall to Gu Ruan Ruan.

Gu Ruanruan may have wanted Xiao Ruoyun to take advantage of Xiao Yanlin's momentum at the beginning, but it was obvious that this trick would not work, it would not be like now, let Xiao Ruoyun completely ask for the blessing of his brother and start a new life with her.

At that time, Gu Ruan Ruan will be Xiao Ruoyun's most important person in this world.

Gu Ruan Ruan was forcing Xiao Ruoyun to make a choice, and now, Xiao Ruoyun has finally become what Gu Ruan Ruan wants.

Gu Baiyu half leaned on the head of the bed, thinking about things and thinking about things.

Outside the room, there was the sound of the old butler and Lingyu talking in a whisper.

"Madame is resting?"

"Yes, old butler, are you in trouble?"

"Oh, how is this good? There are some things for the master to decide, but the Hou Ye is discussing in the study, which is ......"

Gu Baiyu put on his coat and opened the door: "What's the matter, come in and talk about it." ”

The old butler was pardoned: "It's good that Madame is awake!" Go and take a look, the second master is packing up his things, saying that he is going to move out! You have to go see such a big thing! ”

When Gu Baiyu arrived, Xiao Ruoyun's things had already been packed.

Xunfu followed behind and stopped talking, looking like he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.

Seeing Gu Baiyu coming, she didn't seem surprised, but just glanced at the old housekeeper with some dissatisfaction.

"Why did you alarm your sister-in-law? I said, I'm just going out to live for a few days, and I'm not going to part with my eldest brother, why are you so excited? ”

said that the old housekeeper was actually explaining to Gu Baiyu.

Gu Baiyu stepped forward a few steps and blocked the luggage: "Second master, this is not a trivial matter, even if you want to go out for a walk, you are not in a hurry, at least wait for the Hou Ye to deal with important matters, and talk to him, right?" ”

Xiao Ruoyun was holding a hairpin in his hand, and Gu Baiyu recognized that it was Gu Ruanruan's thing.

He rubbed his hairpin and was silent for a long time before he said: "You are not in a hurry, but I am in a hurry, I really can't rest assured that Ruan Ruan is ..... today I've been stimulated too much and I shouldn't ......"

Xiao Ruoyun stopped halfway through speaking, but Gu Baiyu knew what he was regretting.

Xiao Ruoyun regretted the last moment, he shouldn't have listened to Xiao Yanlin's eyes and snatched that dress, so that Gu Ruanruan was embarrassed in front of everyone, and Gu Ruanruan's love for him was trampled on.

Gu Baiyu sighed secretly in his heart.

Gu Ruan Ruan's hand to sow discord is really clever.

Xiao Ruoyun also seemed to realize that he shouldn't say this, and explained: "I didn't blame the eldest brother, I just thought, didn't the eldest brother say it, Ruan Ruan's matter is a private matter of my back house, and I should not be able to do it if I go out for a few days." ”

At this point, Gu Baiyu couldn't stop it anymore, so he had to take a step back.

He also instructed the old housekeeper: "The second master has not gone out to settle by himself, you go with you, find a suitable place for the second master to rest, and also, the silver two go to the account room to spend more, after all, it is the second young master of the Hou Mansion, and he can't be wronged, and he will be distressed if the Hou Ye knows." ”

When Xiao Ruoyun heard this, her heart warmed: "Sister-in-law, I know that my eldest brother is good to me......"

Gu Baiyu raised her hand to interrupt him, that's all she could do, now Xiao Ruoyun only has Gu Ruan Ruan in her heart, she just doesn't let her go, but it will make Xiao Ruoyun rebellious, she can only try to ease the relationship between the two brothers, at least not to deteriorate.

"It's good if you remember that he is your eldest brother, even if it is me and him, it is also a husband and wife who were formed halfway, only the two of you, born as brothers by blood, are the closest people in the world, don't be because of ...... It ruined the friendship between the brothers. ”

Xiao Ruoyun nodded gratefully: "Sister-in-law! I know! I know! Aren't you and Ruan Ruan the same blood and family relationship as me and my eldest brother? Sister-in-law, you just misunderstood for a while, and if you have a chance in the future, let's sit down and have a good talk, okay? ”

Gu Baiyu didn't dare to perfunctory him, for fear that he would think too much, so he nodded: "I'll talk about it later." Since you want to go, go while it is dawn, settle down early, it is always unsafe when it gets dark, go. ”

......

Seeing off Xiao Ruoyun, Gu Baiyu stood in the empty courtyard in a daze.

still recalling Xiao Ruoyun's sentence just now, she and Gu Ruan Ruan also have the same blood and family relationship.

The corner of Gu Baiyu's mouth pulled out a wry smile.

How can she and Gu Ruan Ruan be considered sisters?

Her sister......

There's already a different person in the shell......
