Gu Qing looked annoyed.
"Heaven and earth, conscience!"
Chen Zhizhou curled his lips and stared at her with burning eyes, "Why do I feel like there's a sour smell in this room?"
The voice floated into Gu Qing's ears, and the straightforward look mixed with mischief and amusement made her blush immediately.
She reached out her hand in shame and anger to his waist and pinched a piece of soft flesh.
Chen Zhizhou pretended to be in pain, and his exaggerated expression made Gu Qing laugh.
Looking at her unrestrained and innocent smile, Chen Zhizhou's heart was also infected. He held her hand with his backhand. The smooth and tender touch made him unable to let go.
"Sorry to have kept you two waiting!"
The woman in purple was dressed up carefully and saw this scene when she opened the door.
Seeing the blush on Gu Qing's face, she was stunned at first, then reacted and gave the two of them an 'understanding' look as usual.
She has been in the music house for a long time and has seen customers with all kinds of fetishes. It is not unusual for her to like homosexuality.
But I still feel it's a pity. No wonder I felt that the young man was a bit feminine when I first met him!
Gu Qing was startled by her and jumped away from Chen Zhizhou. Meeting the meaningful gaze of the woman in purple, he could only look embarrassed.
In contrast, Chen Zhizhou looked calm.
"I wonder what the two gentlemen would like to hear?"
The woman in purple sat down, plucking the strings of the zither with her slender fingers, and raised her eyes to ask tentatively.
"Just play something more gentle."
Gu Qing put his thoughts aside and spoke softly.
As the sound of stringed instruments began to rise, Gu Qing moved closer to her, staring intently at her movements until the music gradually stopped, then he looked away.
"The girl's piano skills are outstanding. Every piece she plays is unforgettable. But why is such a superb skill buried under Yu Furong?"
After saying this, she pretended to be regretful.
Facing Gu Qing's praise, the purple-robed woman simply smiled and said, "Sir, you are too kind."
"This girl is not only skilled but also a good person..."
Gu Qing praised her a few more times, and when he saw that the time was right, he mentioned the purpose of his trip, "Just now I heard you say that Yu Furong is gone?"
The woman in purple was flattered by the compliment and immediately started talking when she was asked.
"Since I've gotten along so well with the two young masters today, I won't hide anything from you. Just yesterday, two or three people from the Dali Temple suddenly showed up and took away Yu Furong's record book... I think she must have gotten into some serious trouble!"
She sighed, as if lamenting, "Who wouldn't envy her good fortune back then, but who could have imagined this day would come?"
"Good fortune?"
Gu Qing frowned, looking confused.
"yes!"
The purple-robed woman nodded and explained, "A few years ago, she won over a client who lavished her with a fortune, freeing her from the hassles of accepting clients and fawning over her. She later gave birth to a daughter for him. We all thought she would be redeemed and made a concubine or mistress, but nothing happened."
A guest? My daughter!
Gu Qing shuddered and glanced at Chen Zhizhou.
Seeing that his expression had straightened up, he immediately turned around and asked, "Do you know who that guest is?"
The woman in purple shook her head.
"I don't know, and I've never seen it."
So mysterious, really suspicious!
Gu Qing was thoughtful for a moment, and then asked some other questions, to which the woman in purple answered everything she knew.
I stuffed her with a silver ingot before she left, and she immediately smiled from ear to ear.
"My two lords, please come often!"
The woman in purple sent them to the door and did not forget to wink at them.
After leaving the music hall, Gu Qing felt that the air was much fresher.
"According to the purple-robed woman, Yu Furong has long been raised by that mysterious guest. How could she possibly be receiving a guest alone? Besides, my father-in-law was drunk and oblivious to everything. What exactly happened that day?"
That child is most likely the mysterious man!
Can we learn the truth by finding out the identity of the mysterious man?
Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou felt that there were many mysteries, as if they were wrapped in a huge net. The more they investigated, the more incredible it seemed.
"It seems that if I want to know what happened that day, I need to ask my second and third uncles."
Chen Zhizhou's eyes darkened slightly, and he felt annoyed when his two uncles were mentioned.
His two uncles were both idle and unmotivated people. They relied on their grandfather and father to get some official positions, but they never knew how to be grateful.
He was not ambitious and was jealous of his father's high position and high salary. He always liked to make veiled sarcasm when speaking.
Especially my third uncle Chen Jinkui, who made a mistake a few days ago and was dismissed from his post. He was unemployed at home and would make trouble for my father every now and then.
I hope I can assign him a better job.
Although Gu Qing didn't care about the Chen family's affairs in her previous life, she had heard of her two uncles. In her heart, these two people were like a cancer. Every time, they relied on their father-in-law's kindness and affection, and let her father-in-law clean up the mess for them with peace of mind.
Chen Zhizhou might not get anything if he asked, but it would be better than nothing.
"It's getting late, so go quickly!"
Chen Zhizhou was worried about her being alone, so he said without question, "I'll take you back first."
Gu Qing said no more. The two of them walked side by side. Occasionally, their hands would touch each other. At the same time, their hearts tightened, as if they were electrocuted from top to bottom.
They were silent all the way until they sent her to the back door of Chen's house.
Looking at her leaving back, Chen Zhizhou pursed his thin lips, his eyes were deep and long, with a hint of incomprehensible meaning.
Gu Qing didn't notice it. When he returned to the room, he found Pei'er was actually in the house.
"Miss..."
Pei'er was startled to see her come back, and a look of panic appeared on her face.
There was a hint of coldness in Gu Qing's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
"What were you doing just now?"
She saw it clearly. After Pei'er discovered her, she hid something in her sleeve.
I thought that with Nanny Li's support, Pei'er would have no time to make trouble, but I underestimated her!
"Slave girl, I saw that your desk was too messy, so I wanted to help you clean it up."
Pei'er lowered her head guiltily and made an excuse.
"Um."
Gu Qing sneered in his heart, but did not expose her childish lie. Instead, he asked her to help him change his clothes.
She casually probed, "Pei'er, you've spent a day with Nanny Li. What have you learned?"
Pei'er immediately became excited and told her all the secrets of the Chen family that he thought he had uncovered.
"But unfortunately there's nothing wrong."
Seeing her rather regretful expression, Gu Qing curled his lips and said, "Madame Li is only a servant after all, and her knowledge is limited. Since father has entrusted such an important task to me, you must pay close attention to it, so as not to disappoint him."
After saying that, Gu Qing gave her a look, indicating Chen Zhizhou's study not far away.
Pei'er understood and said smartly, "I understand what you mean, young lady."
"Well, my uncle has gone out for something. Go to the small kitchen and make a bowl of ginseng soup. Bring it to him when he comes back."
Gu Qing pretended to be sleepy and turned back to the bed to rest.
Pei'er retreated tactfully and walked towards the small kitchen while thinking in his mind.
