Chapter 127

Gu Xinyu, her maid Xiaolian and the maids from Cao's mansion walked to the side hall.

After they walked in, the maid from Cao's mansion closed the door for them.

Seeing that she was just sitting on the chair and had no intention of changing clothes, Xiaolian was a little confused and asked, "Girl?"

Gu Xinyu had already guessed what was going on on her way over. Only a villain like Cao Qian could use such a clumsy method.

Sure enough, not long after, Cao Qian gently pushed open the door and walked in cautiously.

Xiaolian was shocked when she saw him coming in. She stopped in front of Gu Xinyu and said angrily, "Mr. Cao, how can you come in?"

Cao Qian ignored the little girl's shouting and walked straight to Gu Xinyu, with an earnest look on his face, and said, "Miss Gu, how are you these days?"

Gu Xinyu looked at his fat body and felt disgusted. But in order to scare him, she had to endure the nausea.

She pretended to be sad and aggrieved, and said, "Master Cao, what are you doing?"

Seeing that she did not look repulsed by him, Cao Qian could not help but move closer. As he smelled the fragrance emanating from her, he felt his whole body getting hot.

When he knew that she was coming to his house today, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to meet her. However, since he was a man, it was not convenient for him to go in and talk to his mother when she was entertaining the female relatives. So when he knew she was going to play the piano, he had someone do something.

"Miss Gu, don't be afraid, I...I won't hurt you."

Gu Xinyu said: "Mr. Cao, you said you would not hurt me, but now you come to see me alone. If outsiders know about this, how can I live?"

"Miss Gu, I...I just want to see you." Seeing her wiping away tears, Cao Qian felt a little distressed and said, "Don't cry. If you don't want to see me, then I'll leave."

As he said this, he looked at her reluctantly, turned around and was about to walk out.

Gu Xinyu raised her eyes and looked at Xiaolian beside her.

Xiaolian walked up to her and said anxiously, "Girl, don't cry."

Cao Qian had only walked a few steps when he heard the words and hurriedly turned forward. Seeing Gu Xinyu throwing herself on Xiaolian, her shoulders shrugged, his heart tightened and he asked, "Miss Gu, what's wrong?"

Xiaolian said, "Master Cao, our girl was just humiliated in public. She is so angry and sad."

Cao Qian felt that this was his chance to show off, and said righteously, "Who is it? Tell me, and I will help you vent your anger."

Xiaolian rolled her eyes in her heart and said, it’s you. But she knew that the girl wanted her to talk about the young lady of the Huo family, so she exaggerated and said bad things about Luo Chaoyan.

Cao Qian said fiercely: "Miss Gu, don't worry, I will have someone help you vent your anger right away."

Gu Xinyu pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Mr. Cao, forget it. This is a banquet hosted by Madam Cao. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for Madam Cao."

Cao Qian said: "Don't worry, I will do it in a subtle way."

…

Gu Xinyu changed her clothes and returned to the hall. She acted as if nothing had happened and chatted and laughed with everyone in a dignified and proper manner.

Yin Miaoshan said: "Cousin, this Miss Gu is really not an ordinary person. She looked so ashamed just now, but now she is smiling brightly."

Luo Chaoyan frowned, wondering if this green tea girl was going to cause any trouble again.

Mrs. Cao smiled and said, "I have carefully prepared a special program for everyone today."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone saw a group of young women in light yellow dresses walking towards the door.

Su Qian saw these women wearing hats with veils hanging down their heads, all with slender waists and fair skin, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "They are so beautiful."

Luo Chaoning also nodded and said, "This is the first time I've seen a girl like this. She doesn't look like a girl from our Central Plains."

Yin Miaoshan said: "She should be a girl from outside the Great Wall."

Su Qian asked with interest: "Sister Yin, have you seen it?"

Yin Miaoshan nodded and said, "I met him once before when I went to the Great Wall with my father."

Su Qian looked at Luo Chaoyan and said, "Sister Luo, have you seen it too?"

Luo Chaoyan nodded. This was a foreigner. She had seen him many times on TV.

Mrs. Cao smiled and introduced them to everyone: "These are Uyghur girls from outside the Great Wall. Their dance is different from ours in the Central Plains. You can enjoy it."

As she said this, she nodded to the group of girls, signaling them to start dancing.

The girls folded their arms across their chests and saluted everyone, then began to dance to the music.

Everyone was attracted by their graceful dancing and watched them intently.

At this time, several maids came over and poured wine for everyone.

Luo Chaoyan watched the girls dancing somewhat nonchalantly, but she looked up at Gu Xinyu from time to time. If she guessed correctly, the incident of her skirt being torn just now was probably done by Cao Qian, and the purpose of his doing so was, of course, to get close to the beautiful woman.

But there was nothing unusual on Gu Xinyu's face when she came back. It was not known whether it was because her acting was so good, or because Cao Qian promised her something that made her feel better. Given how much Cao Qian cares about her, he might be instigated by her to do something.

She was lost in thought when she saw a maid pouring wine for Luo Chaoning. She found that there was no wine in the jug, so she took the jug and walked out.

When the maid came back, she brought two pots of wine.

Luo Chaoyan noticed that when she poured wine for Luo Chaoning and Su Qian, she poured from the left wine jug, but when she walked to her cousin, she picked up the right wine jug.

Could it be that there was drug in the wine? It wouldn't be such a cliché scheme, would it?

When the maid came to her with the wine, she smiled at her and said, "I'll do it myself."

She first raised her hand to the wine jug on her left, secretly observing her expression, and saw that she pursed her lips slightly. So she raised her hand, walked around to the left, and picked up the wine jug on the right.

Seeing this, the maid bowed to her and then went to another table to pour wine.

Luo Chaoyan did not miss the relieved look on her face.

She shook her head slightly, what a lack of creativity.

She whispered to Yin Miaoshan, "Don't drink this wine."

Yin Miaoshan was stunned. She looked up at everyone and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on the dancing girls. She whispered, "Did they drug you?"

Luo Chaoyan nodded and said softly, "It's almost right."

Yin Miaoshan was shocked. Mrs. Cao didn't seem like such a brainless person. Why would she do such a thing at the banquet she hosted? What does she want?

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at her, and said angrily: "I usually tell you to read more books, why don't you listen?"

She pursed her lips in Gu Xinyu's direction.

Yin Miaoshan was startled and said hesitantly, "No way, this is Cao's mansion."

"Wait, are you trying to say Cao Qian helped her?"

Luo Chaoyan gave her an approving look.
