Gu En was puzzled at first, but she quickly understood.
His second aunt's commercial street had a large number of artisans. Not all of them lived in the capital or its suburbs. Some lived in other prefectures. This meant that the round trip took longer, so some artisans did not go home to reunite with their families. They were bored living alone and would rather go out for a walk.
The stall owners, a couple, live right next door. Except for the Lunar New Year, they set up their stall here regardless of the weather, which is very convenient for these craftsmen.
Gu En looked up at the full moon hanging in the sky. Unfortunately, the image of Zheng Qiu drying her hair that he had just seen was reflected in that round moon.
The exquisite curves displayed when sitting on the stool.
Gu En cursed himself inwardly, then lowered his head.
Bai Er couldn't understand Gu En's changing expressions, but he was usually quiet, and even though Gu En didn't say anything, he was willing to sit with her all night.
"Bai Er, don't you have anything to say to me?" Gu En felt she needed to change her mind, so she asked.
"What does the Fourth Young Master want to say to his subordinate?" Bai Er asked in return.
"You know about Xiao Qiu?" Gu En asked without beating around the bush.
"I don't know which matter concerning Young Master Zheng the Fourth Prince is asking about," Bai Er said after thinking for a moment.
It seems that both the Third Miss and their eldest brother mentioned that they shouldn't remind the Fourth Young Master, but if he realizes what's going on and asks, you should just tell him everything you know!
"There are many things about Xiao Qiu that you all know but I don't?" Gu En was greatly shocked.
Good heavens, he thought his relationship with Xiao Qiu was better than that with Third Sister, but now it seems that he's not even as good as Bai Yi Bai Er?
Bai Er in white definitely knows about Xiao Qiu's situation, but it seems he knows nothing about it!
"I don't know what things Fourth Young Master doesn't know about Young Master Zheng," Bai Er replied truthfully.
He felt certain that the Fourth Young Master did not know that Zheng Qiu was a girl.
"When did you learn to speak so convolutedly? Tell me everything you know about Xiao Qiu. Otherwise..." Gu En was getting a little angry.
Bai Er quietly looked at Gu En, waiting for him to continue.
"..." Gu En was speechless, exasperated by his gaze. "Xiao Qiu is a girl, isn't she?"
“Yes, that’s right,” Bai Er answered without hesitation.
This surprised Gu En.
He thought they were in cahoots and hadn't told him, that he was the only one who didn't know, while everyone else knew and was laughing at him!
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Gu En felt that Bai Er was no longer going to hide it from him, so he asked.
"Fourth Young Master, you didn't ask your subordinate," Bai Er replied honestly.
"Why didn't you tell me if I didn't ask? You should have told me when I wanted to stay with him at Qi'an Inn!" Gu En said, her face turning red, whether from anger or something else, it was hard to tell.
"Fourth Young Master, I was assigned a task by the Third Young Master and wasn't at the inn. Have you forgotten?" Bai Er's tone still carried a hint of grievance.
"..." Gu En remembered, there was such a thing.
"Then why didn't my third sister and the others tell me?" Gu En asked.
"Fourth Young Master, this subordinate does not know," Bai Er said.
"Then, did my third sister and the others tell you not to tell me?" Gu En asked again.
"Third Miss didn't instruct me," Bai Er replied truthfully.
