Qi Wei, raised since childhood by her aunt to serve her elder sister, discovers on her deathbed that she is the true legitimate daughter.
Reborn on the eve of being sent to her brother-in-law...
Chapter 6 The Master Finally Becomes a Normal Man
Zhou Chunyu hurriedly said: "I have sent someone to Jinxiu Pavilion to check, and there will be news soon."
If the person who climbed into the bed was the young lady's sister, I wonder if the master would spare her life. After all, the young lady had been kind to the master when she was young.
After a while, the people who were secretly investigating Jinxiu Pavilion came back.
"My Lord, Steward Zhou, the nightgown was found under the bed of the young mistress's maid. I left it there intact."
Zhou Chunyu glanced at his master, still calm and unperturbed.
"Send a bowl of medicine?"
After all, what to do if you get pregnant?
Mu Junyan's mind was circling around the little woman's behavior last night and he didn't hear what he said.
What a annoying little goblin!
Zhou Chunyu was shocked when he saw that he didn't say anything. His master actually wanted him to keep the offspring?
After another cup of tea, a servant dressed in black came in.
"Master, Dong Mo selected two pieces of cloth given by the emperor two years ago, and also asked for a bottle of the imperial Snow Lotus Jade Cream, and a bottle of burn medicine prepared by the palace doctor."
"Clothing material from two years ago? Snow Lotus Jade Cream? What kind of reward is this?" Zhou Chunyu didn't understand.
He thought the little bastard wanted to curry favor with the young lady, but it turned out that he had other intentions.
"That girl burned her hands."
Mu Junyan served the tea, lifted the lid and brushed off the tea foam, his tone a little cold.
The little girl is really good at seducing people. Even Dong Mo, his closest servant, is under her control.
Do you think he is dead?
Zhou Chunyu’s eyes widened.
"Hand burned? Then you can't use the Snow Lotus Jade Cream. It's a precious gift from the emperor that can't be bought with money."
The attendant said, "It's a serious burn. The palms of both hands are red, swollen and blistered. Only the Snow Lotus Jade Cream can make the skin intact."
The attendant is called Chiyu and he is Mu Junyan’s personal bodyguard.
When he was in charge of secret protection and surveillance, he had already listened to the conversation between Gu Huan and Dong Mo.
"ah?"
Zhou Chunyu, who is usually emotionally stable, was shocked.
Zhou Chunyu was very strict with his subordinates and would beat them without mercy if they made mistakes. However, as for the maids and old women in the mansion, as long as the mistakes were not serious, he would generally not hurt their skin or bones.
The young lady seems gentle and virtuous, but is she so cruel?
Chiyu spoke again: "Young Madam will give her to Master Mu An tonight."
The master didn't just throw the man out, but carried him into the study. He almost dropped his jaw in shock.
He stood guard outside the study until early in the morning, when he saw the little girl sneak out.
Without the master's order, he would naturally not follow.
It is one thing for the master to dislike women, but if a woman whom the master has slept with is taken as a concubine by his own son, and the master later finds out that he knew about it and did not report it, he will be tortured to death.
He has to say this.
"Ah!" Zhou Chunyu was stunned again.
No matter if they are sold or beaten to death, the women that the master has touched cannot be given to the young master.
The master has always loved Young Master Mu An very much. He has done many excessive things in recent years, but the master rarely asks about it, and the servants dare not interfere.
But this is a matter of ethics. What if...
I’m pregnant...whose baby is it?
Wouldn’t that be a mess!
Zhou Chunyu stole a glance at his master's expression, and Mu Junyan's face darkened a little.
Seeing Mu Junyan holding the cup and staring at the tea in it for a long time without saying anything, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, do it according to the usual practice?"
If we don't deal with that girl tonight, and if she gets touched by the young master again, won't the master have a green head?
He didn't dare to think further!
"What do you think? Does this little girl want to escape from An'er, or does she want to climb up the social ladder?"
Zhou Chunyu said thoughtfully: "It seems that... this little girl from the Gu family is quite simple."
Zhou Chunyu had never seen the second lady of the Gu family before. When he saw her today, he felt that she was completely different from the young lady. Her eyes were as pure as water, and she didn't look like someone who could do such a thing.
If he had seen with his own eyes how Gu Huan pounced on her master, he probably wouldn't have thought so.
Akabane held the sword, thinking hard.
After the little girl bumped into her master, she tried hard to get up and yelled at her master to let her go.
I don't know what was wrong with the master, he forcibly carried the man into the study and dealt with him.
Just now I saw that the little girl was as timid as a mouse, she didn't even dare to look up at people, how could she dare to risk her life and pounce on the murderous devil?
If it was really a deliberate seduction, why didn't you make it clear today?
What if the master doesn't want her, wouldn't her innocence be wasted? If you are not careful, you may even lose your life.
I can’t figure it out. I can’t figure it out.
"What do you think?" Mu Junyan looked indifferently at the guard who seemed shrewd and serious.
Akabane said seriously: "...I think Miss Gu has her own reasons."
With that small body, how could he escape from the murderous devil Mu?
In his opinion, the master's willpower was beginning to weaken.
Yoho.
Or was it his fault?
The little girl has deceived his right-hand men?
Mu Junyan was so angry that he slammed the tea lid in his hand, stood up with a stern face and walked out.
Zhou Chunyu and Chiyu looked at each other. What’s wrong with the master being a little angry?
"We will have dinner with them tonight."
Mu Junyan uttered this as he stepped out of the door.
"yes."
Hearing this, Zhou Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the little girl's life should be saved.
Akabane's eyes lit up.
Wow, the master has finally become a normal man.
The two looked at each other with relief, and Akabane quickly chased after him.
…
On the way back with Gu Wanru, Gu Huan's mind was in a mess and her heart was pounding. She even ignored the pain in her palms.
I wonder if Dong Mo will tell others about her injury and the fact that he is going to give her to his brother-in-law Mu An tonight.
What if she fails to climb into bed? What should she do tonight?
After entering Jinxiu Pavilion, Gu Wanru glanced at her and said, "Huan'er, you are a good cook. Go to the kitchen and prepare dinner for your husband."
"Yes." Gu Huan turned around with a lot on her mind.
"Huan'er, does your hand still hurt?" Gu Wanru asked her from behind with concern.
"It's okay." Gu Huan didn't look back.
"Go and bandage it up, or my husband will be disgusted by it."
"yes."
Gu Huan walked out and Yinzhi just came in. She was full of anger and when she saw her, she raised her hand and slapped her hard.
Gu Huan tilted her head and bumped Yinzhi with her butt.
Bang!
His hands, wrapped in silver branches, slammed heavily on the door, and he screamed in pain with his hands shaking.
Gu Wanru hurriedly said, "Help her quickly."
Jinkui quickly supported Yinzhi, who was crying in pain.
"Madam, you have to help me. It was that little bitch Gu Huan who deliberately burned me."
"Jinkui, go apply some medicine on Huan'er's hand." Gu Wanru ordered.
She didn't want her husband to see the severe burns on Gu Huan's hands at night, so as not to damage her good reputation as a virtuous woman.
"yes."
Seeing Jin Kui and Gu Huan leave, Gu Wanru picked out a golden hairpin from the makeup box and put it on Yinzhi.
"You, just be patient. Who let my husband like her? When my husband gets tired of playing with her, you can do whatever you want. Be quiet now, and don't let her get hurt again."
Yinzhi felt very aggrieved: "I feel wronged on behalf of the lady."
Gu Wanru patted her shoulder and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good. I feel sorry for you, too. When you and your cousin get married, I will give you a large sum of money as a dowry."
"Just have a good rest tonight. Gu Huan and Jin Kui will serve you here."
Yinzhi was about to speak when she heard the servant's voice outside.
"Is the young lady here? I will give the young lady the reward from my master."
Yinzhi stretched her head to look, and stood up happily: "It's Dong Mo who is beside the master."
"Please come in." Gu Wanru was very happy.
"Madam, this is what the master asked me to bring. The master said that this is the first time that Madam has been formally offered tea since she entered the family. This is a greeting gift for you."
Dong Mo held two pieces of gray brocade fabric.
Gu Wanru's face looked a little grim, and she forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave it on the table for now. I will personally thank my father-in-law tomorrow morning."
She glanced at Yinzhi.
Yinzhi reluctantly took out a silver melon seed the size of a soybean and handed it over: "Here, this is a reward from our young lady."
Dong Mo didn't answer: "This is what I should do."
He looked around and didn't see Gu Huan, so he put the brocade on the table and left.
Yinzhi snorted, looking disgusted: "What kind of stuff is this? The pattern is from several years ago, and the color is so old-fashioned, it's barely worthy of an old lady, how can it be worthy of a lady?"
There are certain rules for rewarding in a big mansion. The more valuable the reward, the more honorable it is.
Gu Wanru was also angry: "You and Jin Kui each get one."
Yinzhi pursed her lips: "Even the servant despises you. The master really doesn't take you seriously."
Gu Wanru sat down on the couch by the window: "Don't worry. When my husband becomes the prince, the household goods will be in my hands. Won't everything in the Duke's Mansion belong to me?"
