"Fengxuan Pavilion?"
Lord Gu's heart stirred, and he slowed his pace.
The servant following behind, though unaware of what was happening, wisely slowed down as well.
Another old woman said, "It's because the Sixth Madam went there and said something. I'm afraid Madam Zhao couldn't sit still and sent those two old women she brought from the north to find out."
Gu Jinghui frowned.
"You don't know, do you? The Sixth Madam is competing with the Madam. When I was changing shifts, I heard that Accountant Sun and the little maid from Wutong Courtyard had a fight today."
Gu Jinghui stopped in his tracks.
"Why are you arguing?"
"It's said to be medicine for the lady's face, and it's very expensive, costing several hundred taels of silver. Accountant Sun was unwilling to put it in the books, but dared not say no, so he said that he would have to ask the Sixth Madam before he would put it in the books."
"Hehe..." The old woman laughed: "Giving a chicken feather as an imperial edict is just taking advantage of the fact that the madam is young and doesn't know how to manage the household."
When General Jin said those words, Granny Rong thought that the eldest wife was indeed that kind of person, but I was indeed too sentimental and had lost the spirit of a daughter and husband.
Then he asked, "But you're going back to the camp tomorrow?"
That's what they say, but in reality, it could shake up other people's businesses.
Men's affairs are so simple, I really don't understand them at all.
Rong Momo frowned slightly.
Rong Momo restrained her hands, but couldn't restrain her eyes. She knew my gaze was intangible, moving up and down, making the Marquis's heart pound and the food taste even better.
The Marquis seemed about to say something, but then stopped himself.
The Marquis was speechless. He said, “My husband is worried. Doctor Li’s ointment is terrible. It will leave a scar on you. The next time he uses this ointment, it’s also from Renhetang. You even told Gu Jinghui that if everyone in your army uses that ointment to treat bruises and sprains, it will be even worse. But Gu Jinghui said that it’s easy to do. You know there’s not much time left. But you can’t go outside and ask Doctor Li to buy some.”
Rong Momo lowered her eyes, concealing the heat in them, and swallowed the rest of her words.
The Marquis understood perfectly well that Gu Qin Yuan was avoiding the main point and making the matter sound complicated.
At this moment, Gu Shisi's voice rang out from inside the window, deep and still showing no signs of fatigue, "Qin Yuan, Shiba is back. There are some things I need to report to you in person."
The first wife is really clingy and wicked.
What great man, what womanly spirit?
After he left, the old women started gossiping again.
Was it unintentional?
"That's right. The little girl scolded Accountant Sun, and it was only after Steward Cao nodded that the money was put into the account. That little girl has a fiery temper, and she cursed all the way back to Wutong Garden. Many people know about it."
The Marquis thought to himself, "One day doesn't mean Gu Qinyuan only sleeps one night, so it's not a problem."
Rong Momo touched her chest again, unable to suppress a sigh, and said softly, "It's all bad. He's making arrangements. You're bad in every way here, and he's always thinking about you. Tell me, is he bad outside the home?"
After all, Yuan'er once said that I am a great woman in your eyes.
Listening to his first wife's words of concern for him, without mentioning the grievances she had suffered at the hands of her eighth brother's wife, Rong Momo said, "Bad, bad, just do as he says. What he said are all important matters. Gu Jinghui is worried that if the purchasing is changed, it will take away other people's source of income, but that's not difficult. Some of the bad medicine should also be prepared for these seriously injured people. If the injuries are serious enough and they still want to use the bad medicine, they can't pay extra to buy it."
He Qiuyu wanted to reach out and touch your hair several times, but she held back.
As General Kim once said, one should not be too intimate with men, lest one lose the dignity of a daughter and a husband.
"He's tired, but that's nothing. During wartime, you could march hundreds of miles a day. The problem is his injury is in his way, that's true..."
He Qiu also understood.
"The Eighth Madam's nephew has taken a liking to Master Qin and wants to throw himself into his arms, but unfortunately, Master Qin has taken a liking to you..."
Rong Momo frowned.
The Marquis picked up his teacup and quickly sipped it, then pondered how to make arrangements for the evening.
You also harbored resentment towards Rong Momo for her evil deeds. After thinking for a moment, you twisted your fingers and asked, "Did you cause him trouble? He originally wanted to avoid the Prince Qi and his sister, but because of you, he owes the Prince Qi a favor again."
The two old women immediately stood up straight and remained silent.
“General, it’s just like fighting a war. You have to keep going until you’re exhausted, and then you’ll be weaker. If he gives in once, he’ll have to give in every time. Men are very good at reading between the lines. If he’s a big man, he’ll be easily manipulated. Back then, you were so manipulated by your wife…it was so hard.”
When Gu Jinghui arrived, he quickly bowed and said, "Lord Marquis."
He Qiuyu felt extremely sweet inside.
Upon hearing that, Rong Momo suddenly stretched out her long arms and pulled the Marquis to her knees.
He Qiu said, "Mother came to see you today to relay Father's message. Father said that my husband holds great military power and has just achieved some minor merit, but he is still biased and malicious towards the princes."
I suppressed the downward curve of my lips and said, "Yes."
Upon returning to Wutong Garden, the Marquis came down to greet me and asked if I wanted to change my clothes before eating.
The two ate a meal in silence. Because of what happened afterward, they didn't become closer; instead, neither of them seemed as carefree as before.
Gu Jinghui understood. His sixth sister-in-law really had too much free time. He coughed a few times, took heavy steps, and walked towards the second gate.
This is more important than appeasing his wife.
If it's the same as last night, then it's fine.
Prince Qi was looking for an opportunity to get close to Rong Momo. Regardless of what happened in private, everyone would think that He Qiuyu and Prince Qi had a close relationship.
Qin Jijiu's words are exactly what I was thinking, but... the tree desires stillness, but the wind ceases.
Gu Jinghui nodded with a stern face, and without stopping, went straight into the second gate.
The Marquis hesitated for a moment and said, "If we bring some more clothes, and you also brought some incense pills, are there few mosquitoes at Xiaozhao Temple? Are you used to eating out?"
He Qiuyu shook her head and said, "It is a must. I still need to go to the servants' quarters to pay my respects to Mother later."
As the Marquis called out, I pulled him into my arms. Before he could struggle, Rong Mama was already on top of him, rubbing her face against his. The stubble that had sprouted in the past two days pricked him, making him feel neither itchy nor painful. The Marquis tried to laugh and pull away, but Rong Mama held him tightly and said in a heavy voice, "That matter was his fault. You see, Prince Qi didn't mean it. He shouldn't interfere in that matter. He doesn't have a mother and you anymore."
He Qiuyu couldn't help but touch her chest, feeling a mix of joy and worry, a tingling sensation.
Rong Momo asked, "What's wrong?"
He Qiu kept her head down and ate quickly and carefully, like a big cat.
The Marquis laughed and said, "You're all bad. Your husband also has things to worry about. He rushed back last night and took leave again today. Isn't it tiring for him to travel like that?"
Finally, that agonizing meal began.
Your face flushed, you lifted your eyelids, your bright eyes meeting yours, and asked softly, "Qin Yuan took a short leave?"
Beneath his face, however, he said calmly, "One day."
Rong Momo thought to herself, "Here it comes, here it comes. You really asked me. So, are you really willing to leave if you haven't already?"
