Chapter 178 I think you're the one who's blind.

After listening to Fuze rattle off a long string of words, Jixiang couldn't help but glance at her young master, hesitating to speak.

Xiao Qingyuan is nothing but a great romantic; the real great romantic is right in front of us!

Their second young master was the real romantic, but he loved too secretly and too restrainedly, so no one knew about it.

He gave away a thousand taels of gold without hesitation, and was willing to throw away his own reputation. In order to make others live smoothly, he competed with Xiao Qingyuan for Chu Yanluo, and even bought a house to keep a mistress. When the explosion occurred, he disregarded all dangers and rushed in to save people, even abandoning his own sister. After saving people, he was afraid that hugging them would damage their reputation, so he had to find an excuse to say that he saved the wrong person.

If there were a ranking of all the romantics in Dafeng, and our young master dared to claim second place, then no one would dare to claim first.

Gu Qianhan only glanced at Jixiang and knew what his personal servant was thinking, but he didn't care.

He said indifferently, "Jixiang, reward! Fuze did a good job. Continue to keep an eye on the Ning Prince's residence and report back if there is any news."

Jixiang sighed slightly and directly rewarded Fuze with a ten-tael silver ingot.

Fuze was overjoyed, holding the silver ingot and swearing, "I will definitely find out everything about the Prince Ning's mansion, and I will not let you miss any news from there!"

Gu Qianhan nodded and left with Jixiang.

He believed in Fuze's loyalty and ability. Like Jixiang, he had followed him to the death in his previous life and had never had any disloyal thoughts.

——

The next day.

Gu Qianhan then took his servant and went to the Prince Ning's residence.

After learning of his arrival, Shen Wantang pondered for a moment and then said to Granny Chai, "Just take Young Master Gu to the Prince's courtyard. He is an outsider after all, so I won't see him."

Granny Chai was very pleased. The Crown Princess's way of avoiding suspicion was truly reassuring. It seemed that the Crown Princess had taken her previous reminder to heart and was very receptive to advice from others.

She responded and turned to leave.

Shen Wantang watched her leave, then stood there without moving.

She wasn't entirely acting on Granny Chai's advice; Gu Qianhan's act of saving her first yesterday had truly surprised her.

This has gone beyond a normal relationship; she should avoid suspicion.

When Gu Qianhan saw Granny Chai enter alone in the flower hall, he knew that Shen Wantang would not see him today.

If she hadn't been reborn, his actions yesterday might have indeed startled her, causing her to avoid him.

If she were reborn, then her avoiding suspicion... seems to fit her cautious personality.

Gu Qianhan touched the sachet at his waist, revealing a barely perceptible bitter smile. She was truly remarkable; he still couldn't figure out whether she had been reborn or not.

That's...quite interesting, isn't it?

This was one of the few moments of happiness he experienced after his rebirth.

He was led by Granny Chai to Xinghe Courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Qingyuan feeding Chu Yanluo medicine.

He chuckled and said, "Xiao Qingyuan, everyone outside is saying that your concubine committed suicide out of jealousy. So she didn't die? Our imperial physicians of Dafeng are indeed highly skilled; they can bring the dead back to life."

Xiao Qingyuan's face immediately darkened: "Gu Qianhan, what are you doing here again?"

"Of course, we're here to watch the show."

Gu Qianhan swaggered down into the chair, acting as if she were at home: "By the way, I heard you've recently taken a liking to a maid. Call her out and let me see her."

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't care less about feeding Chu Yanluo her medicine now. He stood up and stood in front of Huayi, saying, "No wonder you came here again. So you've got your eye on my maid again! Gu Qianhan, give up on that idea. You can never take my maid away!"

Gu Qianhan looked at him with a surprised expression: "What nonsense! Who wants to steal your maid? Do I look like someone who would be so desperate as to not even spare a maid?"

Xiao Qingyuan was speechless with anger, and said, "Stop pretending! You just can't stand that I'm doing better than you, so you're using every means to try and steal the people around me! You've already bullied Yanluo, you can't bully Huayi now, or I'll never forgive you!"

"Oh, so your maid's name is Huayi."

Gu Qianhan stepped forward and pushed Xiao Qingyuan aside, revealing the maid behind him.

He looked at her from left to right, up to down, but couldn't see anything special about her.

He was curious: "She's just average-looking, what do you see in her?"

Xiao Qingyuan glared at him angrily: "Are you blind? This is what you call average-looking? Don't you understand poetry and painting? You're hopeless!"

Gu Qianhan: "I think you're the one who's blind."

To reject Shen Wantang and instead choose these ugly and deformed people is truly blind!

However, despite his sarcastic remarks, she didn't react at all and remained standing there obediently, without moving.

This one is more composed than Chu Yanluo.

Moreover, Chu Yanluo caused a huge scene yesterday, but suddenly stopped today and is unusually quiet. I wonder what she's up to.

How can this house be so peaceful?

Xiao Qingyuan said something very true: he just couldn't stand seeing Xiao Qingyuan doing well.

Gu Qianhan looked at Chu Yanluo: "Wouldn't it be better if you stayed with me? Why did you have to come back to be his concubine? You're almost dead now. Look at how pale you are, like a ghost. You're definitely not as healthy and energetic as a maid."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Yanluo clench her hands tightly.

"Forget it, this place is so lifeless, there's no point in staying here. Jixiang, let's go, don't bring bad luck on us."

As Gu Qianhan spoke, she strode out.

Jixiang quickly followed.

The master and servant were strolling leisurely through the Ning Prince's residence when, just as Jixiang was wondering why her master was walking so slowly today, a series of footsteps sounded behind them.

Jixiang turned around and saw Chu Yanluo walking quickly towards her.

Ji Xiang was stunned. Just now, Chu Yanluo looked half dead, so why was she walking so fast? Could she be faking it again?

"Young Master Gu."

Chu Yanluo blocked Gu Qianhan's path and whispered, "I want to make a deal with you."

"Not interested."

“This concerns the life and death of the Gu family, and I absolutely did not lie to the second young master.”

"Yeah?"

"In the future, the Gu family will face a great calamity! But if you have my guidance, the Gu family will naturally be able to avoid the disaster and prosper for a long time."

"I don't believe it if it's just talk."

It's true!

Chu Yanluo said anxiously, "If I can help you, you should help me too. It would be very beneficial for both of us to cooperate!"

Gu Qianhan glanced in the direction of Wutong Garden while casually replying to Chu Yanluo, "How do you want me to help you?"

"It's very simple. Just take Huayi away from the prince. Only I can be by the prince's side. There can be no one else!"

"I can help you with this."
