Chapter 29 Support
When Gu Huan returned to Yayun Pavilion, Donghua and Dongqing's attitudes became more respectful.
The two men skillfully helped her bathe and change clothes.
Shen Li walked in with a bowl of medicine, put the bowl down, took Gu Huan's wrist directly, and took her pulse carefully.
Frowning, "You haven't recovered yet, why are you messing around? The good medicine I've given you these days is wasted."
Gu Huan blushed: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Drink it." Shen Li pushed the medicine over.
Gu Huan obediently picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.
Shen Li frowned: "Not bitter?"
She used a very heavy dose and the medicine was so concentrated that she felt like vomiting just by smelling it.
Gu Huan smiled slightly: "I'm used to it."
Shen Li glared at her: "If you don't take care of your body, who will do it for you?"
After saying that, he left angrily with the bowl of medicine.
As Gu Huan smiled, tears welled up in her eyes.
It’s great that she is surrounded by people who love and care for her.
While I was combing my hair, Zhou Zhilan came.
Gu Huan felt a little embarrassed to face her. She blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhou Zhilan pretended not to notice her embarrassment and went straight to the closet to choose a set of green and white top and skirt that had just been delivered by Jixiangzhai, and also took out a sky blue cape.
"This set is perfect to match the silver and jade jewelry from Linlanglou."
Gu Huan raised her eyes, her eyes reddened: "Isn't it too expensive?"
This skirt does not have too many luxurious embroidery and inlays, but the lower skirt is made of pleated colorful glass gauze that is hard to come by at a fortune. It is as thin as a feather, and when it is still, it is white with the glow of a shell. When it moves, it is like the surface of a colorful lake, sparkling and beautiful.
The upper garment is made of top-quality plain green silk satin without any embroidery, and the shawl is made of the same material as the skirt.
Silver belt, hanging top and skirt belt of the same color.
Pair it with simple silver and jade hand jewelry made of the same high-quality materials.
The whole set is simple, refreshing and extraordinarily luxurious.
It turns out that simplicity is the best.
Gu Huan naturally liked it.
She didn't say anything and obediently let Zhou Zhilan change her clothes and tie her cloak tightly to cover up the traces of ambiguity from last night.
Dongqing is good at doing hair and makeup. She combed her hair into a bun that an unmarried girl could wear, put on some sandalwood makeup, and matched it with the clothes, she looked like a fairy descending to earth.
Zhou Zhilan looked at her with amazement, and after a long while she sighed, "I don't know if this is good for you. I regret it a little."
Gu Huan was touched, her eyes reddened, and she said softly, "Very good."
In her previous life, she didn't even dare to hope for such a day.
Even if it was only a flash in the pan, just a dozen days, she was happy.
Zhou Zhilan's eyes also turned red. They were all girls, so how could she not understand?
Gu Huan smiled sweetly at Zhou Zhilan.
Zhou Zhilan also smiled and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, the master is a good man."
Gu Huan was a little flustered and looked at the two maids who were packing their things.
Zhou Zhilan took her hand and walked out, whispering, "Don't worry. The servants are trustworthy and they keep their mouths shut. Don't worry about the young lady either. If the master gives the order, not a single word will be leaked."
Gu Huan felt a little more at ease.
She needs time to prepare.
She thought of something, hurriedly pulled Zhou Zhilan's hand, and whispered: "I want Chen Li to go back home with me. I have a younger brother who is very weak. I want her to take a look at him."
"Dongqing, go and ask Chen Li to wait at the door."
Zhou Zhilan took Gu Huan's arm and walked to the gate. They saw a luxurious cobalt blue carriage parked outside the gate. Zhou Chunyu stood at the door, and Chen Li stood aside with a cloth bag on his back.
Seeing them coming out, Zhou Chunyu smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Gu, please get in the carriage."
Gu Huan was stunned: "Isn't this bad?"
This is too ostentatious.
"What's wrong with that? You are now a young lady hired by the Duke of Yong to copy the manuscripts of the former Duke's wife. You are of great status. This is the carriage that the old lady used before. Come on."
Zhou Zhilan pulled her into the carriage.
Donghua and Shen Li who came with them also came up.
Gu Huan opened the curtains and saw Zhou Chunyu jumping on his horse. She couldn't help but wonder, "Is Butler Zhou going too?"
Zhou Zhilan nodded, raised her head, and said proudly: "I said that the master is a good man, right? In order to save your face, the head butler and the female steward of the Duke's Mansion, who are second only to the emperor, personally accompanied Miss Gu back to the mansion."
Gu Huan was amused by her and was shocked but also somewhat happy.
She didn't expect Mu Junyan to support her.
…
Mu Junyan looked at Mu An with a gloomy face.
"Five strokes is not enough, is it?"
Mu An lowered his head and dared not say a word.
"Mu An, your father shouldn't be involved in your backyard affairs, but don't you know how many eyes are on Duke Yong? You are getting more and more muddleheaded!"
Mu An was dissatisfied: "Father, you said that the wealth and splendor of the Yongguo Mansion belong to me. What's wrong with having more women in my backyard?"
Mu Junyan suppressed his anger in his eyes: "It's fine to marry her properly, but you also want to have sex with her, and you even force your wife's sister to do it. How dare you say that!"
Mu An's eyes were filled with anger. "Gu Huan was given to me by Gu Wanru herself, so why can't I have her? Yaoyao loves me deeply and is even pregnant with a grandson for the Duke's Mansion. If I don't take her into the mansion, wouldn't I be heartless and ungrateful? Father, are you angry because your son has gone too far, or because you covet Gu Huan? Do you want to compete with your son for this woman?"
Bang!
The coffee table under Mu Junyan's hand suddenly cracked, and the teacups and teapots shattered to the ground.
Mu An's eyes trembled, but he still held his neck stiff: "Father, when you brought me back home, you said that everything you own is mine. Now, I just want a woman, do you want to snatch it from me, father?"
Mu Junyan stood up suddenly, a chill in his heart, pointed at him and said in a deep voice: "Back then, when your father died a hero in battle, what did you say? You said you wanted to be like your father, spilling your blood and burying your bones in the sand without regrets! Have you forgotten it yourself?"
Mu An straightened his back: "But you said that my father died to save you, you said that you and my father are closer than brothers, you said that you owed my father a life, you said that you didn't want to cut off the roots of the An family, so you asked me to give up martial arts and pursue literature. You also said that the Duke's Mansion will be mine in the future. Are you going to regret it now?"
Mu Junyan stared at him, his anger rising, and he was speechless for a long time.
He had already arranged everything. When he died in battle, in addition to settling the people who followed him, he would leave most of the property of the Yongguo Mansion to Mu An and help him rebuild the An Mansion. But how can he feel at ease when Mu'an becomes like this?
He hated himself for raising his brother's child as a bad child and marrying the wrong wife for him.
Mu Junyan stepped in front of Mu An, grabbed his collar, and said in a cold voice: "Mu An, I named you An because I want you to keep the name of the An family. Your father was the most courageous general under my father. Several generations of your An family are strong men, and their names are engraved on the immortal stone tablet in southern Xinjiang.
And you, do you plan to continue to rot, or do you plan to get up and shoulder the responsibility of settling down in your own home? Think about it carefully! ”
Anger burned in Mu An's eyes.
What does he mean by "Anjiamenlin" now?
Are you planning to kick him out? Does that mean that everything in the Yongguo Mansion has nothing to do with him?
It turned out that he had no intention of leaving everything in the Yongguo Mansion to him!
Mu Junyan suddenly let go of him: "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down in front of your father's spirit tablet to reflect on your mistakes!"
Mu An turned around and left angrily.
Akabane walked in quietly, looked at his master's angry face, and didn't dare to say a word.
"Tell me, did I do something wrong?" Mu Junyan rubbed his eyebrows.
Akabane thought for a moment and said, "Young Master is still young."
Mu Junyan's eyes were heavy. "His father has been leading me to fight on the battlefield since he was thirteen years old. I regard him as a teacher and a brother. He was brave and killed countless enemies. He died to save me. I thought that the best thing for Mu An was to treat him well. But Mu An is eighteen years old now. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. I raised him to be like this. I feel ashamed of his father."
Akabane: "Actually, General An is not..."
Mu Junyan gave him a cold look, and Chiyu quickly changed the subject: "The young lady is not very good either, she can't control the young master..."
Akabane realized that he had said the wrong thing again, so he stopped and secretly glanced at his master.
Back then, the master personally went to the Gu Mansion with eighteen tai of betrothal gifts to ask for the eldest daughter of the Gu family on behalf of Master Mu An.
The lord must feel bad that the daughter-in-law he personally chose turned out to be like this, right?
Mu Junyan’s eyes were deep.
"Find the evidence as soon as possible."
"Yes." Akabane knew what he was talking about.
