“Mr. Zhan asked me to plead with you to allow him to move into the Royal Garden,” Wen Yi said truthfully.
There's something wrong with how she thinks it.
Wen Yi never intended to hide anything from Master Gu from the beginning, since there was no need to hide it, as she and Master Gu were on the same side.
Even if there were no feelings between them, they were still a couple working together, and Master Gu had stood up for Wen Yi time and time again.
The Imperial Garden has even become a strong supporter of Wenyi.
Under these circumstances, Wen Yifen was very clear that this matter was related to Yutingyuan and Second Master Gu. If there was any conspiracy and she did not inform him, it would harm Yutingyuan and Second Master Gu, which would be tantamount to indirectly harming herself.
Gu Huaixu hadn't expected Wen Yi to say something so direct.
Luo Yi brought over the ointment, and Gu Huaixu had Wen Yi lie on her lap.
Wen Yi obediently did as instructed.
Gu Huaixu touched Wen Yi's face. "You're such a good girl."
He said it with a sigh.
Wen Yi was lying down, not having time to look at Gu Huaixu's expression, but seriously thinking about Mr. Zhan's proposal to move into the Royal Garden.
"I always felt that he couldn't have done it for no reason... Ouch, that hurts!"
Wen struggled painfully, but Gu Huaixu held her back down, saying, "Don't move around, the blood clots won't disperse if you don't exert force."
"Be gentle, it hurts."
"It's no joke."
Gu Huaixu moved swiftly, pressing and rubbing Wen Yi's injured area several times to make sure the medicinal wine had seeped in before releasing it.
Wen Yi immediately got off him, looking at Gu Huaixu with a reproachful expression.
Gu Huaixu explained, "I told you, if you don't apply more pressure to this area, the medicine won't be very effective. It'll hurt a little now, but it'll be mostly fine by tomorrow."
"Even if I don't do anything, it will get better in a few days," Wen Yi reminded him.
Some wounds can heal on their own.
"That won't do. My wife is so smart. If this bag affects her intelligence, I'll be the one who suffers."
"So, Master Gu is worried that if I get injured and become stupid, it will affect you."
"Otherwise? Don't you know how valuable your brain is? Such a clever brain must stay by my side, understand, madam."
Despite his words, Master Gu even touched Wen Yi's face, as if coaxing a child.
Wen Yi was immediately amused.
It was the kind of laugh that couldn't be suppressed, but then, thinking about her current situation, she immediately straightened her face and said, "Don't be so frivolous and talk about such nonsense."
"No, it's just that Madam is smiling more happily."
"..."
"Now let's get back to the main topic." Wen Yi was too lazy to banter with the other party.
She discovered that Second Master Gu was truly a witty and irreverent man, much like Gu Huaixu back then.
Wen Yi composed herself and got back to the main topic. "When I first met Mr. Zhan, I heard from him that the reason he wanted to kidnap me was to get me to move into the Royal Garden. I thought it was ridiculous. Then I guessed from the conversation that it was probably Zhan Yaya who kidnapped me. Mr. Zhan was afraid that things would get out of hand and offend the Royal Garden, so he stepped in to deal with it."
"So, you think there's a problem now?" Gu Huaixu sensed something was amiss.
Wen nodded. "I thought this was the only way to explain why we went to all that trouble, pretending to be a policeman and a hotel employee, and even tying me up in the car. All that trouble, just for a sentence or two?"
"Even if Mr. Zhan really needs me, he should come politely, invite me to dinner, or invite me into his car to talk. That's all. There's no need to go to such great lengths."
"And then?" Gu Huaixu stared at Wen Yi and continued to ask.
"Then I felt that this was the case, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong. Zhan Yaya wouldn't be so stupid as to provoke me when the Zhan family is already surrounded by enemies."
Normally, after Zhan Yaya offended those people at the banquet that day, she should have been warned. Even if she was willful, she wouldn't be foolish enough to cause further trouble at that point.
Wen muttered to himself, analyzing the entire situation.
No matter how you analyze it, there are always problems, but so far Wen Yi has no way to explain or put forward a clear logical line to verify what exactly happened.
Gu Huaixu stared at Wen Yi for a long time before saying, "So, what does Madam intend to do next?"
"Since we can't guess, then let's lure you into the trap," Wen Yi said confidently.
Gu Huaixu raised an eyebrow. "Please continue, Madam."
"Whether my kidnapping was arranged by Mr. Zhan or a stupid act by Zhan Yaya, it has already happened. Since we can't guess, let things develop according to the planner's wishes. Only in this way can we find out the planner's purpose behind the scenes."
"So, Madam's intention is to let Mr. Zhan stay here."
"Not only should Mr. Zhan be allowed to stay, but he should also be treated well. Ideally, there should be some rumors between Mr. Zhan and me that would affect our marital relationship."
Gu Huaixu suddenly laughed upon hearing this, and touched Wen Yi's face, "So, Madam already knows how to proceed with the rest of the story."
"All that's needed is for Second Master to cooperate properly," Wen Yi said.
After saying this, Gu Huaixu did not respond, but instead carefully stroked Wen Yi's face with his fingertips, tracing the features on Wen Yi's face.
Compared to Wen Ge's striking features, Wen Yi's features are very delicate, belonging to the type of girl with a light and salty appearance, and she doesn't stand out at first glance.
But the more you look at it, the more comfortable you feel this light and simple style, which is also pleasing to the eye.
Gu Huaixu suddenly laughed, "Since my wife has made all the arrangements, I will naturally cooperate to the end."
As soon as those words were spoken, Wen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Yi was quite nervous when Master Gu was silent.
Although she analyzed the matter very logically, Wen Yi was still not very confident that she could get Second Master Gu to agree and cooperate with her.
"Then thank you, Second Master Gu," Wen Yi said.
Gu Huaixu laughed and patted Wen Yi's forehead. "Madam, you're being too formal. Didn't you arrange this for me? Why are you thanking me instead?"
"I am thanking Master Gu for his trust."
If the other party doesn't trust you, even if, as they say, Wen Yi is doing it for them, it's all for nothing.
Gu Er Ye's trust in Wen Yi, and his tolerance of Wen Yi's guessing actions, deeply moved Wen Yi.
It's a feeling of being trusted.
Wenjia Wenyi was someone I had never experienced before.
Therefore, many times when the Wen family encounters trouble, even if Wen Yi has a way to solve it, it's never Wen Yi's turn to speak up.
When she spoke up, her parents ridiculed her for giving bad advice. Over time, Wen Yi rarely spoke up when the Wen family encountered trouble. Even when she knew that the Wen family had fallen into a business trap and invested in bad projects, Wen Yi chose to keep quiet.
Even if I told you, no one would believe me.
But here at the Imperial Garden, beside this man, Wen Yi gets positive feedback on everything he says, and the other party trusts him completely.
"Does Madam intend to arrange for Mr. Zhan to stay at the Imperial Garden tomorrow?" Gu Huaixu asked.
