Xie Zhaozhao didn't say anything else, but held his hand. Thankfully, it wasn't too cold.

Yuan Yuanman immediately ordered someone to bring out the carriage, and only after watching her masters get into the carriage did she get into the one behind.

"Zhao Zhao, I feel a little dizzy." Gu Shaoyu leaned on her after getting into the car. "My father-in-law and brother-in-law were making me drink."

"Did you drink too much?"

"That's a bit much."

"Didn't I tell Nanxing to take you back soon?" Xie Zhaozhao took a hot towel and wiped his face. "It's getting dark, let's hurry back."

As soon as the two entered the Marquis's residence, Zhang Qing immediately sent someone to inform Madam Tu and the old lady.

Ta Xue then approached Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Shaoyu and said, "The old lady invites you in."

Xie Zhaozhao said, "The Grand Secretary has had too much to drink. I'll take him back to Qingpu Courtyard first."

Gu Shaoyu had already stopped, his gaze sharp and cold, and asked Taxue, "What is it?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the Old Madam wishes to inquire about the Heir Apparent's wife." Ta Xue trembled slightly with fright. The Old Madam, really, why does she always bother Your Excellency for no reason? It's terrifying!

"Go ask her!"

Ta Xue glanced at Xie Zhaozhao, who didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Do as the Grand Secretary says. We can talk about it tomorrow."

After dismissing Taxue, Nanxing said that the small kitchen had already heated the water, and the Grand Secretary and his wife could take a bath.

Xie Zhaozhao originally thought she would be taking a bath in a large tub, but she didn't expect that they were heating water in the swimming pool. It turned out that there was also underfloor heating at the bottom of the pool.

The soft light shone on him as he removed layers of robes, revealing a strong chest and lean waist, every muscle exuding power.

He swam back and forth in the pool several times, then reached out his hand to her: "Come down."

He is still the same domineering Grand Secretary Gu.
