Gu Quan walked into the study from outside.
"master?"
Lord Gu frowned tightly, as if he had many worries.
"Has Xiaojiu left?"
Gu Quan nodded, "The second young lady went straight back to the inner courtyard."
Lord Gu sighed, then smiled.
"How did Xiaojiu suddenly become so smart? She even guessed the East Palace."
Gu Quan pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps the Second Miss feels that it is no longer beneficial to continue to endure. That is why she wants to display her talents in front of the Master."
"is that so?"
Lord Gu was confused.
He recalled Gu Jiu's performance, calm and composed, with reasoned arguments. Under his repeated pressure, he never showed any signs of being at a disadvantage.
It is not easy for a little girl to be able to walk more than one round under his hands and still retreat unscathed.
This little girl is his own daughter, and Lord Gu couldn't help but laugh.
It’s a blessing to have a daughter like this!
Mr. Gu asked, "What is Madam busy with?"
"My wife is now resting and taking care of her baby. She hasn't even left the house."
Master Gu snorted coldly, "She is becoming more and more bold."
Gu Quan asked cautiously, "What does the master plan to do?"
Lord Gu frowned. This was exactly where he was in trouble.
Xie was pregnant, and the fetus was unstable. If she was stimulated too much at this time, she might lose the baby.
And Xie Mao.
How could Lord Gu tolerate Xie Mao manipulating his wife and children?
If he doesn't fight back, how can Lord Gu be content?
After all, the root of this matter lies with Xie Mao, not the Xie family.
But Xie was also a fool, willing to be manipulated by Xie Mao. Could it be that she didn't understand the principle that a husband's honor is the wife's?
It's so infuriating.
Fortunately, Xiaojiu was smart and resolved the situation cleverly, so no serious consequences were caused.
Lord Gu said, "Come with me to the upper room."
Gu Quan nodded in agreement.
…
Go up to the room.
The atmosphere was a little tense.
The maids spoke and acted with caution.
Aunt Bai knelt under the eaves, sweat on her forehead, but she didn't dare to relax at all.
Xie leaned on the couch and could see Aunt Bai through the window.
She snorted coldly.
If you fight me, I will kill you.
Chunhe helped Xie drink her medicine.
The medicine was a little hot, so Chunhe blew it carefully.
There was a noise at the gate of the courtyard.
Someone shouted, "The master is here."
Then, footsteps were heard at the door.
Xie quickly sat up, looking happy.
However, unexpectedly, Lord Gu's next words made her extremely unhappy.
As soon as Lord Gu walked into the upper room, he saw Aunt Bai kneeling under the eaves.
He frowned and said, "What are you kneeling for? Hurry up and get up."
Aunt Bai looked at Master Gu eagerly, "Madam told me to kneel, and I dared not get up."
"I told you to get up, so you got up. Don't you even want to listen to me?"
"I dare not!" Aunt Bai looked frail and stood up with the help of the maid.
Master Gu said again: "Go and rest."
"Thank you, sir."
Aunt Bai wanted to complain, but Lord Gu's mind was not on her at all.
Aunt Bai gritted her teeth, suppressed the thought, and went back to her room to rest.
Lord Gu walked into the room.
Xie smiled.
There are plenty of opportunities to deal with Aunt Bai. There is no need to conflict with the master over that bitch.
"The master is here! Isn't the government office busy today?"
Lord Gu sat next to Mrs. Xie on the soft couch.
He stared at Xie's belly with a complicated look.
Xie touched her abdomen and asked carefully, "What's wrong with the master? He came here but didn't say anything."
"Have you written to the capital about your pregnancy?"
Xie smiled and shook her head, "I haven't written a letter yet."
Master Gu smiled and said, "Write a letter to your brother-in-law and tell him the good news.
Also, tell my eldest brother-in-law that he is busy with things in the Eastern Palace, so he doesn't need to worry about my affairs.
Especially in my backyard, there is no need for an outsider to interfere.
Some people are not very self-aware and stretch their hands too far, angering me. Be careful, I will chop off their hands with a knife."
Xie was originally smiling, but halfway through her smile, it gradually froze.
Her eyes were flustered.
Lord Gu's sudden change of expression left her at a loss.
Before this, all the maids who were serving in the room were quietly driven out by Gu Quan.
The maids did not hear what Master Gu said next.
As if Lord Gu and Mrs. Xie had something intimate to say, everyone had a smile on their face when they left.
Xie grabbed the armrest of the couch and said, "Master, what are you talking about? I'm almost scared to death."
Master Gu smiled, reached out his hand, and gently stroked Xie's abdomen, "Are you really about to be scared to death?"
Xie nodded repeatedly.
Master Gu stared into Xie's eyes and said, "If you are afraid, then don't do anything dangerous."
Xie swallowed subconsciously, her heart beating like a drum, boom, boom, boom.
"I don't understand what the master said."
Lord Gu smiled and said, "I have already made plans for the children's marriages. You, please don't do anything unnecessary. If trouble comes, I will bring down my brother-in-law even if it means risking my life. I will make sure he dies a miserable death."
boom!
Xie's brain was buzzing and he had completely lost the ability to think.
There was only one thought left: the master knew about my plot against Pei Yun.
She was speechless and couldn't utter a word.
Lord Gu's expression was calm as he took Mrs. Xie's hand and said, "Madam, please take good care of the household affairs and raise the children for me. I will always remember your efforts and will never forget them."
Now that you are pregnant again, just take good care of yourself. I am happy and will naturally think of you."
Xie was bewildered and didn't know what to do. She just nodded mechanically.
Lord Gu laughed. "Madam is indeed a sensible person. This is very good. Gu Quan, on behalf of Madam, write a letter to Master Xie in the capital. The content of the letter should be written as I have previously instructed."
Gu Quan bowed and accepted the order, "I understand."
Lord Gu then said to Mrs. Xie, "Madam, take good care of yourself. Don't worry about the affairs of the mansion. I will arrange for people to take care of it. I will come to see you again when I am in Japan."
"master!"
There was a buzzing in Xie's ears, but she held on and grabbed Lord Gu who was about to leave.
How could she be willing to accept that the master wanted to take away her power?
No matter what, even if it means death, we must fight to the death.
Xie looked pitiful, with an innocent and blank look in her eyes, "I have never done anything to let you down."
Master Gu bent down slightly and lifted Xie's chin. "Really?"
Xie nodded repeatedly.
Lord Gu chuckled softly, "It's best if you haven't done it before. Don't do anything dangerous in the future. These things are not something women can handle."
"I, I have already rejected Big Brother."
"Yeah?"
Xie nodded repeatedly, "It's true."
Lord Gu gently stroked Xie's cheek with the tip of his thumb, his eyes deep, affectionate and charming.
Xie was immersed in it, and the fear she had felt before seemed like a dream.
All I could hear was Lord Gu's magnetic voice ringing in my ears.
"Madam, you and I are of the same mind. This is very good. Madam, take good care of yourself and don't let your imagination run wild. I have official business to attend to, so I won't accompany you."
This time, Xie was unable to hold Lord Gu back and had to watch him leave.
The person is gone!
Xie seemed to have been drained of all her strength and collapsed on the couch.
My forehead, back, and palms were all covered in sweat.
"Madam? Madam, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Chunhe came in and saw this, she immediately screamed.
"Help me sit up."
Xie was completely exhausted and had to rely on Chunhe to sit up.
She was gasping for breath, her heart still beating so fast that she felt uncomfortable all over.
The master knows, he knows everything, what should I do?
How could the master know such a secret matter?
Ha ha……
Xie suddenly laughed.
This is the governor's residence. There is nothing that the master doesn't know.
She is so confused.
She thought what she did was perfect, but now when she thinks back on it, she sees loopholes everywhere.
After laughing, Xie started crying again.
She stroked her belly, the timing of her pregnancy was perfect.
If I hadn't been pregnant, how could I have gotten through this stage so easily?
If she wasn't pregnant, the master would not only punish her but also make her go to the temple to reflect on herself.
Chunhe was terrified.
Xie laughed and cried, and she felt uneasy.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Xie took a deep breath and said, "What can happen to me?"
This matter must not be known to anyone under any circumstances.
So she can't fall down, she has to hold on.
Chun He asked again, "Should we ask Doctor Xu to come over and examine Madam?"
Chunhe looked at Xie's abdomen worriedly.
Xie was about to refuse, but then she changed her mind.
"Send Doctor Xu over and tell him I'm not feeling well."
"As you command."
Chunhe hurried out and arranged for someone to call Doctor Xu.
Xie sat leaning against the pillow.
My heartbeat slowly calmed down.
Just stay calm for a while.
After a few days, she gently stroked her abdomen, and there was always a way to extinguish the master's anger.
