"Xiuqi, you're back."

"Qier, you're back."

Fu's mother and Du Shuting spoke at the same time.

Knowing that Fu Xiuqi was coming back, the two of them were waiting at the door early.

Fu Xiuqi's flattering face towards Gu Yufei caught Du Shuting's eyes.

Du Shuting felt extremely uncomfortable and her face turned gloomy.

"Ting'er, mother, why are you here?" Fu Xiuqi pretended to be surprised.

"Qier, what happened in the palace? Is the Queen Mother happy?" Mother Fu was most concerned about the Queen Mother's thoughts.

"The Queen Mother was very happy, and she asked Fei'er to come to the palace often to play games with her. The banquet was very successful." Fu Xiuqi said truthfully.

"That's great. If the Empress Dowager is happy, our Fu family will have a better life in the future." Mother Fu smiled happily.

Gu Yufei just smiled beside him but didn't say anything.

Du Shuting stood nearby, digging her nails into her palms. "I wonder if the Queen Mother likes that embroidery?"

Du Shuting was referring to the work she had rushed to complete overnight for Fu Xiuqi.

"The Queen Mother didn't say she didn't like it, so of course she likes it." Fu Xiuqi responded.

"That's good."

"Mother, you two can chat slowly. I'll go in first. I'm a little tired after staying in the palace these days." Gu Yufei stepped in.

"Then Fei'er, have a good rest." Mother Fu said hurriedly. She looked at Gu Yufei with admiration, thinking that this girl was really amazing to be appreciated by the Queen Mother.

Gu Yufei went straight back to the courtyard.

She had no interest in Fu Xiuqi and his family's conversation and didn't want to participate.

"Miss, look what this is! Chunhua has learned how to make red bean paste!"

Chunhua looks forward to Gu Yufei's return every day.

"It's so good, I must try it."

The master and servant entered the house smiling.

"Miss, Miss, it's been very lively in the mansion recently. Madam Liu and Miss Du are both angry with Madam Fu. If you hadn't come back, this family would have broken up." Chunhua's little mouth chattered, and she was very happy when she spoke.

Gu Yufei loves to listen to this kind of gossip the most.

"Tell me in detail, how did they make her angry?"

"Master Fu has always wanted Madam Liu to marry into the family, but Madam Fu was unwilling. Madam Liu brought up Miss Du, saying that Miss Du was pregnant with the father-in-law's bloodline, and if Miss Du could marry into the family, why couldn't she..."

"Hahaha, so Du Shuting wants to be a concubine now?" Gu Yufei was amused by this bloody plot.

"No, Miss Du said she didn't want to be a concubine, she wanted to be the main wife. So the four of them started arguing. In the end, I don't know how, Madam Liu and Miss Du united their forces..."

"What a bunch of idiots." Gu Yufei smiled and took a sip of red bean paste.

"Oh, Miss, here is a letter. I was out shopping and when I came back I found a letter in my basket."

Gu Yufei felt confused.

The words on the envelope were unfamiliar.

"Leave Jiang Country, I'll wait for you in Du Country, Qiu Shuang."

Qiu Shuang, Duan Yu actually wrote a letter to her.

"Miss, what is written here?" Chunhua didn't know many words, and seeing Gu Yufei's serious expression, she felt a little worried.

"It's okay. A friend wrote me a letter when he was free. You can burn it. Don't let anyone else see it." Gu Yufei said.

Why did Duan Yu write to her?

And asked her to leave Jiangcheng?

Could it be that the war mentioned in the book is about to break out prematurely?

Gu Yufei felt a little confused.

Duan Yu had always been a man of foresight. He was currently in Du Country, so he must have considered the time it would take to deliver the message. Did he want her to leave for Du Country now?
