Chapter 608 Gu Qianhan can also serve people?

Madam Gu looked at her reproachfully: "You greedy girl, what are you thinking about all the time? You're always thinking about this wine. This wine has a strong aftereffect. I'm just afraid you'll get drunk and cause trouble again, embarrassing me!"

Gu Qianning said confidently, "I could never drink too much, I know what I'm doing! Besides, I have a high alcohol tolerance, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

Madam Gu looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "All drunkards love to say they can't get drunk, but actually, they get drunk faster than anyone else!"

As Shen Wantang listened to the mother and daughter bickering and laughing, the corners of her lips also turned up.

She took the small silver fork and ate all the lychees that Gu Qianhan had peeled for her, one by one.

So this is what fresh lychees are like! In her past life, she had only ever eaten frozen lychees, which she thought were delicious. She never imagined that fresh lychees would be even better!

The flesh is delicate and smooth. When you bite into it, the juice bursts out, and the fragrant and sweet aroma instantly sweeps over your taste buds. You'll want to eat one after another.

Seeing that she had finished eating, Gu Qianhan picked up another one and peeled it for her.

Just as Shen Wantang was about to say no, Gu Qianhan had already placed the lychees in the jade dish in front of her.

When Liu Nanshi stepped into the garden, she saw Gu Qianhan peeling lychees for Shen Wantang.

Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; she simply couldn't believe what she was seeing!

Gu Qianhan can even serve people? ???

In the past, when she came to the Duke's mansion, she could not even see Gu Qianhan. Even if she did see him occasionally, he was always indifferent and exuded a distant aura.

She had never seen him serve anyone, nor had she ever seen him be gentle!

Liu Nanshi stepped forward step by step, her teeth grinding together. Damn Shen Wantang, she really hadn't disappeared!

What went wrong? Did she escape from Chichun Lane? Or was there a mistake last night?!

When Madam Gu saw Liu Nanshi arrive, a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Nanshi? What brings you here? Is something the matter?"

Suppressing her jealousy and anger, Liu Nanshi put on a polite smile and sat down next to Madam Gu, affectionately taking her arm.

She said in a familiar, coquettish tone, "Look at what Aunt Pei is saying. Can't I come to see you if I don't have anything to do? I haven't seen you for quite a while, I miss you! You haven't forgotten about Nan Shi, have you? Nan Shi won't stand for it!"

Madam Gu was genuinely surprised by Liu Nanshi's arrival, as she hadn't left the house since Liu Nanshi's accident.

Being sold into a brothel, losing her innocence and reputation, was a huge blow to her. It was normal for her to stay in the Grand Secretary's mansion and not go out. It was very abnormal for her to come to the Duke's mansion as if nothing had happened.

Moreover, Madam Gu knew very well that every time Liu Nanshi came to the Duke's Mansion, she was actually there for Gu Qianhan.

But now that Gu Qianhan's marriage is settled, and her future daughter-in-law is sitting right here, she naturally won't upset her future daughter-in-law at this time. Otherwise, not only will her daughter-in-law be unhappy, but her son will also be unhappy. If her son is unhappy, the entire Duke's Mansion will be in trouble!

When Madam Gu remembered that her husband had been stripped of power by their son and had been feigning illness for several days, even skipping the morning court sessions, she was immediately jolted and quickly removed Liu Nanshi's hand.

She even controlled her expression and tone very well, neither too distant nor too enthusiastic: "My memory isn't that bad, how could I forget Nan Shi?"

When Liu Nanshi saw Madam Gu remove her hand, a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

Wow, that old woman changes her attitude so quickly! She won't even let her hug her arm anymore, whereas she used to be able to hug her anytime!

Her gaze fell on Shen Wantang, and she pretended to have just noticed her: "Oh dear, Aunt Pei has a guest here! I'm so sorry, I was so focused on Aunt Pei that I didn't even notice there was someone else here! May I ask which family this young lady is from? I've never seen her before!"

Gu Qianning knew that she had come with ill intentions and was about to say something sarcastic when Shen Wantang reached out and stopped her.

Then, she raised her head and looked at Liu Nanshi calmly: "Miss Liu, you have clearly seen me before, so why do you say you haven't? Are you pretending not to know me?"

Liu Nanshi looked frightened and moved closer to Madam Gu: "Why are you being so fierce? I really don't know you. How can you accuse me of pretending without any evidence?"

Shen Wantang suddenly laughed: "What a strange excuse of not recognizing me, Miss Liu. You've really opened my eyes. Back at Jinxiu Pavilion, you called out my name right away, and now you're asking me who I am. How odd."

But I really don't know you!

Liu Nanshi looked completely innocent: "Miss, are you sure you're not mistaken? Or are you just saying this because you don't like me?"

As she spoke, she grabbed Madam Gu's arm again: "Aunt Pei, who is this? Why is she so arrogant? Is she famous? Should I know her? How can there be such a person? I've never seen her before, but she insists I have. I have a photographic memory; I remember everyone I've met!"

Madam Gu couldn't help but frown slightly. What was going on? One of them said they had seen each other, while the other said they hadn't. Who was lying?

However, who cares who is lying? Now one is family and the other is an outsider. Even if she is senile, she knows to side with her own family!

What's more, she's not senile yet; she's very shrewd!

“Nan Shi, since you met at Jinxiu Pavilion, don’t you remember her? She’s Tang Yatou, the second young lady of the Shen family, oh, the one who’s engaged to Qian Han! She even saved me at Fazhen Temple, you should remember that, right?”

Liu Nanshi's expression froze instantly. Madam Gu was directly assuming that they had met and was now on Shen Wantang's side.

Then what about all those years of painstaking efforts to please Madam Gu?!

Moreover, Madam Gu has personally confirmed that Gu Qianhan and Shen Wantang are engaged!

Shen Wantang was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that, despite her and Liu Nanshi's conflicting accounts, Madam Gu, unaware of the full story, would directly side with her and speak on her behalf.

Her future mother-in-law seemed to be protecting her even more than she had imagined!

In fact, she knew that Liu Nanshi deliberately said she didn't know her because she wanted to suppress her, to get ahead of her, and to provoke her in front of Madam Gu so that she would be embarrassed.

Shen Wantang believed that she was no less cunning than anyone else and that she would never fall for such a trick, but she did not expect that Madam Gu would also not fall for it.

Seeing how clever and protective her mother-in-law was, Shen Wantang smiled genuinely.

Beside her, Gu Qianhan suddenly spoke up: "Miss Liu, our Duke's mansion has specially prepared a banquet today to entertain my betrothed wife. You have come at an inopportune time. Guards, show her out!"

Liu Nanshi's face turned pale instantly: "Qianhan, even if you're going to get married, you don't have to be so cruel to me. We grew up together, and we've had a friendship for over ten years. Even if we couldn't be together due to some twist of fate, we can still be friends!"
