Chapter 21 Mother and Daughter's Plan
Zhou Zhilan was peeling a pomegranate in her hand, putting the bright red pomegranate seeds into a white porcelain bowl, then scooped a spoonful with a silver spoon and passed it to Gu Huan's mouth.
Gu Huan took the little storybook, opened her mouth, put the pomegranate seeds into her mouth, chewed them carefully, and the sweet juice made her feel particularly happy.
No wonder it has been so quiet these days, it turns out that Gu Wanru has no time to take care of her.
Zhou Zhilan glanced at her and suddenly changed the subject.
"Alas, the master is too busy and can't take care of the affairs of the mansion. It would be better if there was a mistress in the mansion. The backyard is in a mess."
Gu Huan nodded upon hearing this, looking as if she agreed with it deeply.
Now that we are talking about the hero in the storybook, we should do something.
She put down the storybook, walked to the desk, and picked up the pen: The master should have a noble wife with both talent and virtue, otherwise the Yongguo Mansion will be ruined and the master will have wasted the people's hearts that he has won through hard work.
Zhou Zhilan tilted her head: "If the master had a wife, would you be jealous?"
Gu Huan: Why would I be jealous? I just hope that I can be like my sister and stay by my master's side and serve him and be content.
Zhou Zhilan pointed at her: "Ha, you said you don't like the master."
Gu Huan was anxious and hurriedly wrote: My Lord is mighty and powerful. All women in the world like men like me. Mine is not the kind of love between men and women in novels, but the worship of heroes and the reverence of gods. In my mind, my lord is a man of noble bearing, integrity and justice.
"Wow, you are really good at praising people."
Zhou Zhilan's eyes widened in amazement. She reached out and picked up the rice paper: "I'm going to show it to my master."
Gu Huan's face turned pale and she hurried to grab it, making a hoarse "no no no" sound with difficulty.
The two girls were chasing each other, laughing and playing, and running around the ginkgo tree in the yard.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared at the door.
Master!
Zhou Zhilan was so scared that she retracted her foot and subconsciously stuffed the rice paper into Gu Huan's arms.
Gu Huan was so frightened that her almond-shaped eyes trembled like a deer. She hurriedly grasped the rice paper into a ball and stuffed it into her sleeve.
Mu Junyan watched the two little girls' little movements and expressions carefully.
After not seeing her for three days, I discovered that the little girl also has a lively side.
What did the little girl write that she didn't want him to see?
Curiosity suddenly emerged.
"Bring it here."
Gu Huan stared at the big hand that was stretched out to her, her lips trembling, her pretty face flushed red, and she nervously handed over the piece of paper in her hand.
Mu Junyan started: "..."
Why do I feel so happy?
He glanced at the two girls coldly, and said sternly, "You're not well yet, why are you running around?"
Gu Huan lowered her head and dared not say a word.
Mu Junyan realized that his tone was too harsh, and his voice softened immediately: "Zhilan is busy on weekdays, I will arrange for someone else to take care of your health."
Gu Huan keenly caught his choice of words.
This person takes care of her, not serves her.
Since she was brought here by the master himself, she must not be a maid.
Gu Huan looked up and discovered that Mu Junyan was followed by a young girl with a cold face.
The little girl was also looking at her coldly.
Gu Huan lowered her head, bowed to Mu Junyan, and said softly in her hoarse voice, "Thank you, my lord."
"Don't talk too much."
Mu Junyan glanced at her. Every time he saw her, he felt a sense of guilt like an old cow eating young grass but didn't dare to admit it?
He is a man of integrity and justice in the eyes of girls...
Not wanting to talk anymore, he turned around and walked away.
Gu Huan looked up only after hearing the powerful footsteps fading away.
Zhou Zhilan excitedly pulled her, and when they were about to talk, Donghua ran in breathlessly.
"Girl, your mother is here and wants you to go to Jinxiu Pavilion."
How did Aunt Pei come into the mansion?
Gu Huan subconsciously clasped her hands together nervously.
In her previous life, Aunt Pei had never set foot in the Duke's Mansion.
Firstly, Aunt Pei was of humble status and could not easily enter the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Secondly, Gu Huan was obedient and Gu Wanru disliked her, so there was no need for her to come in and cause contempt.
Zhou Zhilan thought she was afraid and held her wrist: "I'll go with you."
"Sister." Gu Huan struggled to make a hoarse voice and shook her head.
She didn't want Zhou Zhilan, who was the best to her, to see how miserable she was when facing her family.
"I'll go with Sister Gu."
The young lady stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "The master asked me to take care of Sister Gu."
Gu Huan and Zhou Zhilan both looked at her.
"My name is Chen Li, and I'm Mr. Wu's disciple."
"Oh, you are the last disciple of Doctor Wu." Zhou Zhilan was surprised.
Gu Huan looked confused.
Zhou Zhilan explained, "Last time you fainted, the master asked the palace doctor's closed disciple if she was willing to come into the palace to look after you, and she was the one."
Gu Huan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
I felt a little touched.
Zhou Zhilan pulled Donghua over and said, "Donghua is very strong. If anyone dares to bully you, let Donghua beat him up."
Donghua rolled up her sleeves and said, "I am good at beating people."
Gu Huan did not object. In case of any accidents, it would be good for the Principality to have a witness.
"It's a hassle. I'll just poison and paralyze you."
A cold voice suddenly interrupted.
Everyone looked at the little girl who was speaking in a daze.
“……!”
This person, who had a face that said "no strangers allowed", seemed to be able to say something.
Zhou Zhilan reminded quietly: "You are studying to cure diseases and save lives..."
"I am good at poison." Shen Li had no expression on his face and spoke concisely.
Gu Huan didn't know what to say, so she quickly pulled Dong Hua, smiled at Chen Li, and the three of them walked towards Jinxiu Pavilion together.
Shen Li suddenly quickened his pace to catch up with Gu Huan and poured a green pill into her hand.
Gu Huan trusted her and ate with a smile.
It's sweet with a cool feeling, melts in your mouth, and is quite delicious.
A cool feeling came up from the throat and rushed straight to the top of the head.
After a while, Gu Huan felt her throat was much better and tried to speak: "Yeah, ah, much better."
Gu Huan was surprised.
Shen Li had a look of surprise on his face.
The three of them arrived at the entrance of Jinxiu Pavilion.
Gu Huan paused.
After her rebirth, she faced the culprit who had stolen her life for the first time, and her anger was so intense that she couldn't control it.
He took a deep breath and walked in.
Jin Kui just happened to lift the curtain and came out. When she saw her, she immediately went back into the house. After a while, she came out again.
"Aunt Pei is here, Second Miss, please go in."
Jin Kui changed his way of addressing her and called her the Second Girl, from having always called her by her name before.
Gu Huan felt cold in her heart.
I wonder what this 'real mother' and fake sister are planning.
Gu Huan followed the man into the room and heard Aunt Pei's sharp voice before she even looked up.
"Bitch, get in here quickly!"
Donghua and Shen Li widened their eyes in disbelief.
Gu Huan walked in slowly.
Gu Wanru's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and Aunt Pei was glaring at her.
Facing the culprit who took away her life, trampled on her, and caused her tragic death, Gu Huan couldn't pretend at all.
He looked at the two people in the room indifferently.
That beautiful little face was no longer humble and obedient as before, but had a cold expression. Aunt Pei's eyes suddenly became angry and she stood up suddenly.
When Gu Wanru saw the maid from the Duke's Mansion following her, she immediately grabbed her and said with a sob, "Auntie, don't be angry. This is the Duke's Mansion."
Aunt Pei knew that she must not offend anyone from the Duke's Mansion.
Holding back her anger, she said coldly, "Don't let irrelevant people in. We mother and daughter need to talk in private."
