Gu Huaijin sent the maid away and took Tangli with him to stroll around the Gu Mansion.
The little maid looked at the two men's backs and marveled at them.
You know, when the Third Young Master was with the young lady, he always had a very impatient and bad temper. Even after being beaten by the eldest young master several times, he didn't change. I really didn't expect the Third Young Master to be so kind.
"So it was you who saved my mother yesterday?" Gu Huaijin said.
He knew about the story of Ganquan Temple, where his mother fell into the water and was rescued by a girl. He never expected that the girl was Tang Li.
This girl Tangli saved himself once and saved his mother once. She is really the benefactor of their Gu family and a little lucky star.
Gu Huaijin liked this girl more and more.
"If you come to the Gu Mansion, remember to come find me." Gu Huaijin said.
"Yeah." Tang Li nodded.
"So good." Gu Huaijin looked at her. She was so well-behaved that it made him feel itchy and he wanted to rub her little head.
Gu Huaijin was a head and a half taller than Tangli. He suddenly thought of something and lowered his head to stare at her: "Little Tangli, is Huo Ju your brother?"
Tang Li nodded: "Yes, he is my second brother."
Gu Huaijin stood up straight, stroking his chin, and struck a handsome pose: "So what do you think of me?"
Tangli tilted his little head up to look at him.
"Isn't he more handsome than that Huo Ju kid?" Gu Huaijin said, "I'm also more considerate, more mature, and more caring than him..."
Gu Huaijin counted his own advantages one by one. Compared with Huo Ju, he had too many advantages.
"Xiao Tangli, how about you call me 'brother'?" Gu Huaijin tempted.
Tang Li looked at him, he was his brother after all.
Tangli didn't act pretentiously and called out, "Brother~"
The word "brother" was so sweet that it touched Gu Huaijin's heart, and all the worries in his heart dissipated a lot.
"Brother, did you not sleep well last night?" Tang Li looked at him and asked.
I saw that Gu Huaijin had thick dark circles under his eyes and looked tired, as if he had not slept all night.
In fact, it was not just one night, but several nights that he had not slept well. Every night, Gu Huaijin had the same dream.
Moreover, the dream became more and more real, as if it had really happened.
The dream terrified him.
"Xiao Tangli, do you think people's dreams can become real?" Gu Huaijin suddenly asked.
Tang Li was stunned for a moment, her dream became real... Her nightmare was a foreshadowing of what would happen in the future.
Could it be that Gu Huaijin also...
"Brother, did you dream about anything?" Tang Li asked.
Gu Huaijin shook his head: "Nothing, I was just kidding, how could a dream be real!"
Dreams can't possibly be real, and things in dreams won't happen in reality. The Gu family will never suffer the same fate as in the dream!
Gu Huaijin obviously didn't want to say anything, so Tang Li didn't ask any more questions.
Gu Huaijin took Tangli for a stroll in the Gu Mansion with a smile on his face, a warm attitude, and talked non-stop.
"The Third Young Master seems to be in a particularly good mood today."
"Yeah, who is that girl? The Third Young Master seems to treat her better than the young lady."
"It must be Madam's guest. Aunt Zhao went to the door to greet her personally this morning."
"The one who can be personally received by Madam Zhao must be extraordinary. He must be a guest that Madam pays special attention to."
The servants were talking in low voices.
Suddenly, a man walked up to them, and the servants immediately fell silent and greeted the man.
"Miss!"
"Miss!"
Gu Ying felt uncomfortable seeing how intimate and doting Gu Huaijin was towards Tang Li.
Even the third brother was not so nice to her.
She felt like something of hers had been taken away from her, and she felt very unhappy.
Gu Ying turned and went to the main courtyard and came to Mrs. Gu's room.
At the door of the room, Madam Zhao and Madam Chen were standing guard.
"Miss, you're here." Nanny Chen lowered her voice and said, "The Madam has gone to bed."
"Mom, didn't you sleep well last night?" Gu Ying looked worried.
"Yes, she had a headache all night. In the morning, Tangli came over and pressed her head, and then she felt sleepy again." said Nanny Zhao.
It’s Tangli again!
Gu Ying was filled with hatred in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"It's good that mother is asleep. You must keep a good lookout for her and don't let anyone else disturb her." Gu Ying instructed.
"Young lady is truly filial. We will pay attention to it," said Nanny Chen.
Gu Ying turned and left.
It was not until the afternoon that Mrs. Gu woke up.
She felt refreshed all over. It had been a long time since she had slept so comfortably.
"How long have I slept?" asked Mrs. Gu.
"Three hours." said Nanny Zhao.
Mrs. Gu was a little bit unbelievable that she actually slept for three whole hours.
"The young lady was very worried about you. She came to see you several times in the past three hours. She was relieved only when she saw that you were sleeping soundly." Nanny Chen said.
Mrs. Gu smiled. She felt something in her hand and took it out. It was a sachet. She put it to her nose and sniffed. The sachet gave off a light fragrance that seemed to have a calming effect.
"Madam, this belongs to Miss Tangli. She said the sachet can help you sleep well, so she stuffed it under your pillow." Madam Zhao said hurriedly.
Mrs. Gu held the sachet and seemed to like it very much and couldn't let it go.
"Where is Tangli?" asked Mrs. Gu.
"I walked around the Gu Mansion, but seeing that you were still asleep, I went back first." said Nanny Zhao.
"What do you think of Tangli?" asked Mrs. Gu.
"Miss Tang is a thoughtful person. Yesterday I heard from you that you had a headache and insomnia, so she came early this morning to massage your head and brought a sachet. It seems that she takes your matter to heart." said Madam Zhao.
"I don't think so. She's being too attentive for no reason. I always feel that this girl has other intentions. I guess it's because of the lady's status that she wants to get close to her." Nanny Chen said.
Aunt Zhao frowned. They are all so old, can't they tell whether they are trying to curry favor with others or not?
Miss Tangli is obviously very fond of the lady, and it is really uncomfortable for Nanny Chen to say this.
Just as Nanny Zhao was about to retort, Madam Gu spoke up.
"Xichun, take out the top box in my cabinet." Mrs. Gu said.
"Yes." Zhao Ma Ma responded.
Nanny Zhao opened the cabinet, took out the box and handed it to Madam Gu.
Mrs. Gu opened the box and saw a blood jade lying inside.
This is no ordinary blood jade, but a gift from General Gu to Madam Gu, who treasures it very much. There are two blood jades in total, one was given to Gu Ying, and Madam is now taking out the other one, could it be?
Nanny Chen thought of something and her expression changed slightly.
That's impossible.
"Please take this blood jade and give it to Tangli." Mrs. Gu said.
It’s actually true!
"Madam, this blood jade is so precious..." Nanny Chen said hurriedly.
Nanny Zhao interrupted Nanny Chen and said, "Madam, I will deliver it right away."
As he said that, he took the thing from Mrs. Gu's hand.
