This matter is urgent, and Chen Zhizhou shouldn't always waste his time accompanying me.
Gu Qing felt increasingly guilty and urged, "Go quickly."
Chen Zhizhou was a little hesitant, but his expression was very cold.
After thinking for a moment, he leaned over and placed a kiss on Gu Qing's forehead, then said softly, "I'll be back soon. Wait for me."
He walked very fast, and before Gu Qing could react, he and Xuanfeng disappeared in the yard.
Cuiping on the side lowered her head and suppressed her smile.
Seeing this, Gu Qing felt more and more uncomfortable. Chen Zhizhou was becoming more and more of a pervert!
"Cui Ping, I'm a little thirsty. Please make me a pot of tea."
After she sent the man away, she calmed down a little and the blush on her face gradually faded away.
The warm sunlight made people sleepy. Gu Qing listened to the crisp chirping of birds in the corridor and gradually fell asleep.
Before I fell asleep, I heard the sound of footsteps.
Gu Qing frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and looked sideways.
I saw Pei'er standing cautiously on the lawn outside the yard, poking his head out from time to time.
Gu Qing's sleepiness disappeared immediately. Thinking that the story of how he risked his life to save Chen Zhizhou in Huaishui City would surely reach Gu Yunzhao's ears, he began to feel irritated.
Now she can't break off relations with Gu Yunzhao, so she has to take it step by step to bring down the Gu family.
I'm afraid I'll have to spend a lot of time explaining to him then.
Since Pei'er is my aunt's person, she must have known about my injury.
Then he ordered Pei'er to find out quickly so as to give them an opportunity to take advantage of.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing curled his lips slightly, coughed lightly, and suddenly asked, "Who's outside?"
Pei'er's hands trembled violently, and she immediately greeted the guards at the door: "Two brothers, the Madam is calling me."
The guard was Chen Zhizhou's man. He ignored the little girl's words and stood guard at the door without saying a word.
Seeing this, Pei'er immediately came up with a clever idea and shouted loudly: "Madam! It's me, Pei'er! Madam!"
Gu Qing was annoyed by her and his brows furrowed even tighter.
Pei'er was quite calm when she first followed me, but now she is becoming more and more stupid.
She suppressed her impatience and ordered from a distance, "Let her in."
Hearing this, the guard at the door made way this time.
Pei'er glared at the two of them, bowed and walked in. She walked up to Gu Qing, without any greeting, but directly offered her tea: "Miss, how are you?"
Although Gu Qing remained calm, he was very unhappy in his heart.
Pei'er is really becoming more and more presumptuous now. I'm afraid it's because he has clung tightly to the big tree of the Gu family, so he doesn't even care about etiquette.
"Nothing, my uncle has taken good care of me. I should be fine in a few days."
Pei'er brought the tea to Gu Qing, her eyes following the teacup.
Gu Qing glanced down, covered the teacup with his sleeve, pretended to take a sip, and then handed it to her. His tone was no different from before.
"You know what temperature I like my tea to be."
Hearing this, Pei'er's eyes immediately turned red and she cried, "Madam, you don't know how sad I am that I can't serve you these days."
"Pei'er has been with you since she was a child, and she was also your maid when you got married. The Chen family is an outsider after all, and I'm worried that the maids here won't be able to take good care of you. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to go into the inner courtyard these days, and I'm really worried."
Seeing her fake sincerity, Gu Qing felt disgusted.
If I hadn't seen her true face and known the truth before I died in my previous life, I would have been fooled by her.
Furthermore, every word this girl said seemed to be for her own good, but in fact she was trying to sow discord between her and the Chen family.
After thinking about it carefully, it should be what Gu Yunzhao meant.
As expected, he still became suspicious.
Gu Qingxin felt a little depressed. He asked her to sit down beside him and comforted her, "I know you are thinking about me, but now everything is handled by me personally. When the time comes, I will find a chance to let you come back."
"really?!"
Pei'er endured for a long time, but was unable to enter the inner courtyard. Her aunt was urging her to come in, and she was really embarrassed to be caught in the middle.
Now that the young lady had spoken, her eyes immediately lit up and she almost lost control of her thoughts.
Seeing that she had been fooled, Gu Qing sneered in his heart and continued: "Of course I know your affairs. I haven't forgotten that I am a member of the Gu family."
She said this deliberately to Pei'er, and through her mouth she said it to Gu Yunzhao.
Pei'er was overjoyed. It seemed that Madam was still the same as before, so she went beyond the rules and asked, "Madam, how did you get this injury?"
Hearing this, Gu Qing's face suddenly turned cold.
Noticing her change, Pei'er's heart trembled. She lowered her head and said nervously, "Please forgive me, Miss. I spoke too much."
"Why are you so nervous?"
Gu Qing took her hand and patted it gently: "I don't mean to blame you."
"I got this injury when I was framed by thieves in Yinshan City. I almost lost my life."
Pei'er was puzzled when she heard this, and her voice became even lower: "Pei'er, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
If you don't need to talk about it, don't talk about it.
Gu Qing was secretly complaining, but she said gently, "Just say it. You are my maidservant, so why can't you say it?"
Pei'er breathed a sigh of relief. "I heard that you nearly died saving my uncle. This injury wasn't caused by him?"
When she asked this, Gu Qing already knew the general idea.
It seems that Pei'er's visit today was specially planned by Gu Yunzhao in order to trick her into talking and see if she has been bribed by the Chen family.
Once he defected to the Chen family, he was afraid that Gu Yunzhao would attack him and his mother.
Gu Qing hid it in his sleeve and held it tightly.
She needs to find a way to get her mother out as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it goes on for a long time, she will sooner or later be threatened and constrained by Gu Yunzhao.
"How could that be? Why would I get hurt for him? It happened suddenly, and I was just unlucky to get hurt."
Gu Qing said helplessly, the worry between his brows hard to dissipate.
Pei'er took her words to heart and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Madam. You will definitely get better soon."
"Yeah." Gu Qing nodded with relief.
At the same time, Chen Zhizhou just hurried back from outside.
Pei'er immediately stood up and made way for him in panic.
Then he said respectfully to Gu Qing: "Miss, take good care of yourself. When you are better, Pei'er will come to see you again."
"Go ahead." Gu Qing waved his hand, signaling her to go down.
Chen Zhizhou glanced at Pei'er's back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked meaningfully: "Didn't I tell her not to come in again? This girl is really brave."
Gu Qing said calmly: "I let her in. Pei'er is my dowry maid and she is worried about my health."
"Oh? Why does it seem to me that you don't look at her with much love or trust?" Chen Zhizhou's eyes were sharp and his words were even sharper.
Gu Qing was a little speechless for a moment, and a smile covered up his guilty conscience: "How did you see that? Do I have to treat you the same way as a maid?"
"Of course not!"
Chen Zhizhou picked up the tea beside him and drank it in one gulp. "Zhang Bin is imprisoned in the Third Prince's Mansion."
