Chapter 52 She Has a Lover
Mu Junyan stood up and prepared to leave, his eyes inadvertently falling on the snacks on the coffee table.
The old lady's lips curved slightly: "The little girl made it, I don't like it, you can eat it."
Mu Junyan was not polite and lifted the curtain: "Yi Niang, ask Dong Mo to bring the snacks to my room... study."
Yi Niang responded and went outside the yard to call Dong Mo.
Gu Huan was frightened by Mu Junyan and returned to Yayun Pavilion and didn't dare to go out.
After a quick lunch, Gu Huan waited for an hour, guessing that Xiangrui Hall had also started their lunch break.
She carefully put the jade bracelet into the embroidered purse.
"Donghua, go and give it to Yi Niang quietly. Don't let the old lady know, lest she be unhappy."
"Girl, the old lady gives this to you sincerely."
"The old lady doesn't know what she's doing, and she may even think of me as another woman. We can't get involved together, go quickly."
Donghua said "oh", held her purse tightly, and went away carefully.
Gu Huan sat in a chair by the window in a daze.
There are so many things to think about that my brain is a little overwhelmed.
The words she had just said in praise of Mu Junyan seemed to have come out of her mouth, and when she thought about it carefully, he was indeed the way she said.
Although he is scary sometimes and his palms are calloused, he is indeed a man that all girls admire.
Sleeping with him... is not a loss at all.
Gu Huan touched her burning face and scolded herself for being shameless.
I have never been able to be an innocent girl in my previous two lives, so I must not treat myself badly in this life.
"Are you crazy?"
Zhou Zhilan's clear voice was heard, and her skirt moved, and she stood in front of Gu Huan in a charming manner.
Bending over, he tilted his head and stared at her rosy cheeks and affectionate eyes.
Gu Huan was startled and leaned back suddenly.
Chuckling, Zhou Zhilan was delighted to see her.
He sat down opposite her, turned his head to look at the golden fallen leaves outside, then turned back and grinned at her.
"You must not be thinking about autumn, but thinking about spring."
Gu Huan angrily stretched out her little fist and hit her arm.
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about."
Zhou Zhilan propped her hands on the high coffee table and looked at her with a smile: "I heard your fiancé is here?"
Gu Hua's face suddenly turned pale: "What fiancé? Who are you listening to?"
"My brother, he said that your fiancé has arrived, and the master has even met him in person. The servants all said he is a handsome man when they saw him."
"He is my aunt's cousin. He is not a fiancé."
"Oh." Zhou Zhilan said meaningfully.
Gu Hua glanced at her sideways: "What do you mean, sister?"
Zhou Zhilan stopped smiling and put on a serious expression.
Gu Huan's heart tightened.
The last time Zhou Zhilan spoke to her seriously was about Mu Junyan.
"Sister, tell me sincerely, do you have a man you like in your heart?"
really.
Gu Huan couldn't lie to Zhou Zhilan.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Zhou Zhilan's heart skipped a beat.
Her brother told her to find out the truth first, so as not to disappoint the master and make him unhappy in the future.
The old lady also secretly sent a message to her, asking her to carefully identify Gu Huan's purpose.
After all, Gu Huan was really beautiful and had an alluring charm. Any man who saw her would not be able to help but take a look at her.
The details of the Gu family have been almost revealed. If Aunt Pei hadn't suppressed her and prevented her from appearing in public, there would probably be many people who would come to propose marriage.
Zhou Zhilan feels deeply responsible for the future happiness of her master, Alexander.
Gu Huan thought for a moment and said softly, "Once upon a time..."
When Gu Huan raised her eyes, she saw Zhou Zhilan staring at her nervously, and she was so scared that she took back the next word.
"I don't have a man I like. Ever since I was old enough to understand, my aunt has not allowed me to see any man, even a servant. But when my eldest sister went to the clan school at the age of ten, my aunt asked me to help her study.
At that time...the son of the clan school teacher was also my eldest sister's classmate. Since I had never been to school, I often didn't understand what the teacher taught. My eldest sister asked me to help with the homework, and if I didn't do it well, my aunt would prick me with a needle. He felt sorry for me and secretly taught me to read. ”
Gu Huan's eyes turned red, and her voice was filled with sadness: "He... is a good person."
Zhou Zhilan became even more nervous.
It's over, she has a lover.
"And then?"
Gu Huan couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, and burst into tears: "He died because of me..."
"Ah!" Zhou Zhilan widened her eyes, surprised and relieved.
It would be better to die.
Zhou Zhilan asked, "How did he die?"
"I, I don't know." Gu Huan couldn't help crying again.
Zhou Zhilan panicked, and quickly stood up, walked to her side, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Gu Huan took two deep breaths to calm herself down.
"I was still young at that time, and I didn't know how to fall in love with a man, but Brother Ji was the first and only person who was truly kind to me.
After the eldest sister studied in the clan school for two years, the family hired a teacher to teach several sisters in the house. On the last day of class at the clan school, Brother Ji found out and came to find me secretly, saying that he could help me escape from the Gu family. ”
"After that... I had no news of him. Yesterday, I asked my aunt, and she said he fell off a cliff and died."
Gu Huan covered her mouth tightly with a handkerchief, suppressing her crying into sobs.
Zhou Zhilan felt so distressed when she saw her, she gently put her arms around her narrow shoulders and held her in her arms.
"It's okay. I'll care about you more in the future. Me, my brother, the old lady..."
She wanted to tell her master, but was afraid of scaring him or scolding him.
After all, the master was not sincere in his heart, but the people closest to him in the mansion were worried about him.
Zhou Zhilan felt distressed for both sides, but she felt the most distressed for Gu Huan.
Men and women think differently. My brother said that it was a blessing for Gu Huan to follow the master, and status was not important because the Duke's Mansion would support her anyway.
But as a woman, she knows best that if a girl loses her innocence, her life may be ruined.
Things have come to this point, she can only hope that the two of them are truly in love with each other, and are not just doing this to satisfy her master's pleasure.
Zhou Zhilan coaxed her, "You can't think of anyone else in the future. I heard that the old lady gave you a betrothal gift? The old lady has never looked at any young lady with a straight face. You are the first one, so you are destined to be the master's person."
Gu Huan's grief had not yet dissipated, and her words made her worried and nervous.
She quickly lowered her voice and said, "I have asked Donghua to send the bracelet back to Yi Niang. Let her keep it quietly. If the old lady wants to look for it someday, I can give it to her."
Zhou Zhilan laughed and said, "Forget it, I'll get Donghua back to you in a while."
"Won't……"
The bead curtain rang and Donghua appeared.
Both of their eyes fell on the embroidered purse in her hand.
Donghua chuckled: "Yi Niang said that she dared not accept anything given by the old lady, not to mention it was a betrothal gift. She said that if the girl insisted on not accepting it, she would let her return it to the old lady in person."
Gu Huan: “…”
She didn't dare.
Zhou Zhilan was amused. "See, I'm right, right? Do you think the old lady doesn't know what she is doing? The young lady offered her tea and kowtowed, but she only got a slap in the face. The old lady has dementia, but that doesn't mean she will always be demented."
Gu Huan became even more nervous after hearing this.
This...how will she leave in the future?
Donghua put down her purse and said, "Sister Zhou, would you like to have dinner with us?"
"Yeah." Zhou Zhilan nodded.
He smiled at Gu Huan and pulled out two small storybooks: "The latest ones."
Gu Huan smiled.
The two of them climbed onto the soft couch together, basking in the sun and reading storybooks.
