Zheng Qiu innocently replied, "What makes you say that? What grudge do I have against Young Master Gu that I would hold a grudge against him?"
Gu En rolled up his sleeves and stood up: "Just say it outright, you remember me saying yesterday that Ying Shiyu's wife was wrong. Today, you didn't even nod when you saw me, as if you couldn't see me. You sat as far away from me as possible, as if getting close to me meant getting close to something dirty. Isn't that right?"
Zheng Qiu frowned: "Fourth Young Master Gu, you've gone a bit too far. I absolutely believe in the education you've received from Lord Gu over the years. You should be clean and pure. However, I do have things I admire about you, such as your accurate intuition and your self-awareness."
Gu En: "!"
Looking at Gu En's silly appearance, Lu Zheng thought of when he was first reborn. This silly boy went to see his sweetheart, but he didn't dare to say a word in front of the little girl selling tofu. He didn't buy any tofu and had to ask Xin Xin and Si Si to buy it for him.
It's been so many years since I've seen him like this, wanting to speak but unable to; he'd almost forgotten.
Zheng Qiu slowly picked up her chopsticks, acting as if she hadn't seen Gu En and nothing had happened, and continued eating.
Gu Xin suppressed a laugh but still said something nice for Gu En: "Xiao Qiu, actually, our Enzi is just a little silly. He's not good at expressing his thoughts in front of girls."
“He (I) am not a girl!” Gu En and Zheng Qiu said in unison.
Gu Xin: "!"
Why did those two suddenly start speaking louder?
"Hahahaha..." Lu Zheng laughed, trying to smooth things over, "Eat, eat. You've all been starving these past few days, hurry up and eat. After you've eaten, send someone to the prefectural government office to fetch Fatty Wang back. We'll have a barbecue and drinks together tonight, and then have a good rest this afternoon."
Gu En sat down, having completely let loose. He picked up his rice and started shoveling it into his mouth, forgetting all about table manners and abandoning any semblance of a noble young master.
He stopped thinking nonsense and just ate while glaring at Zheng Qiu.
Zheng Qiu remained calm and ate her meal in her usual elegant and quick manner.
Gu Xin looked at this one, then at that one, and then said to herself, "Brother Yuanyuan, Baiyi, Bai Er, do you guys still remember Yingying who used to sell tofu in Zhoujia Town?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu En, but Gu En seemed not to have heard her. It was as if the food in his bowl was Zheng Qiu. He ate his food while looking at Zheng Qiu, as if he wanted to devour her.
Zheng Qiu, on the other hand, seemed quite calm, but appeared to be listening to her.
"Yes, I remember." The three nodded, cooperating perfectly.
Gu Xin's smile deepened: "Enzi used to never dare to say a word in front of Yingying. When he went to buy tofu, Yingying asked him what he wanted, and he took the money and ran away. Hahaha, Enzi was so cute back then!"
Hearing her name called, Gu En finally snapped out of her daze and looked at Gu Xin with displeasure: "Third sister, why are you saying these things? That was the first time I'd ever met such a beautiful girl, so fair and lovely! Now she's married and has children, and your words will ruin her reputation."
Zheng Qiu raised an eyebrow and continued eating.
Gu Xin laughed and said, "Did I say anything? Look how anxious you are. Don't worry, Yingying is doing very well. Who would dare to ruin her reputation? Besides, you've changed now. It's not that you can't speak when you see a young girl, it's that you can't speak when you see a handsome young man."
