"Lord Mu." Gu Yunran walked over and bowed. As soon as she got closer, she smelled the scent of jasmine on Mu Qianchen.
This unique floral scent?
Gu Yunran thought of Gu Qingyue.
Gu Qingyue liked the spice of jasmine the most. She subconsciously looked up and found a red mark on Mu Qianchen's neck. Although it was not too obvious, she was still able to see it because of her carefulness.
That's a lip print!
Gu Yunran's heart skipped a beat and she felt a pang of pain in her heart, as if it was blocked by a ball of cotton. Without waiting for Mu Qianchen to speak, she stood up and left.
Just as she took a step, she suddenly turned around and looked at Mu Qianchen, pointing at her neck: "Master Mu, you should pay attention to your image before you come out."
"That lip print is too obvious."
Gu Yunran spoke in a cold and hard tone and left after he finished speaking.
Mu Qianchen was stunned for a moment, his handsome face slightly frowned, and he looked at Qianli, "What did she mean just now?"
Qianli pinched his nose and said, "That's what it means literally."
The mark was too obvious, Qianli felt that it should be covered up properly. It really ruined the adult's innocence.
Mu Qianchen finally understood, and coming back to his senses, he muttered softly, "What a fool."
When he turned around, he saw Lu Jiajia standing not far away, staring at him. His pretty eyebrows unconsciously frowned. Lu Jiajia was so scared that she turned around and ran away.
"Fifth Miss." The servant girl shouted and chased after her.
"How dare you, such a coward, come near me?" Mu Qianchen felt bored and simply sat in his seat, playing with the darts in his hand.
This was left on him by the spy during the Zheng family's Peach Blossom Banquet last time. It seems that this spy really likes to join in the fun.
He actually came to Lu Mansion.
The guests had almost all arrived, and Mrs. Lu had already told the servants to start the banquet. Gu Yunran was sitting on the women's side, and from a distance she could see her brother Gu Yunyi, who was sitting on the men's side.
Feeling someone looking at him, Gu Yunyi turned around and saw Gu Yunran. He smiled at her gently, but his hanging hands were clenched tighter and tighter.
He knew that his sister must have suffered a lot of injustice in the Lu family, otherwise she would not do this. He gave her a firm look.
He was telling Gu Yunran that no matter what she did, he, as her brother, would always be her strong backing and support her unconditionally.
Gu Yunran smiled gently, with tears in her eyes.
She lowered her head and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, then raised her head again, her expression normal and a decent smile on her face.
Lu Qingzhou came over, holding a wine glass and toasting everyone one by one. When he walked in front of those powerful officials, his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
These gentlemen are all from the families of close ministers. He has worked hard for many years and finally has the opportunity to sit with them. How can he not be excited?
Old Madam Lu was also in high spirits, and as she looked at the mistresses and ladies who came to compliment her, her smile grew even wider.
Seeing his son becoming more and more satisfied.
At this moment, she is enjoying the honor brought to her by her son.
A mother's status depends on her son.
She didn't feel it deeply before, but now she feels it thoroughly.
"My Qingzhou has had a difficult time. He passed the imperial examination just after he turned twenty. After working so hard in Shengjing for so many years, he can be considered a small achievement."
Old Madam Lu praised her son generously, while the other ladies complimented him but felt disdainful in their hearts.
Lu Qingzhou is a poor scholar with not much talent. If he had not married a good daughter-in-law, would he be where he is today?
However, although they did not dare to say this openly, they had to consider the face of the Gu family and Duke Yun, not only for the Lu family but also for the Duke of Yun.
The banquet was in full swing when suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the crowd, causing a commotion.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the bamboo leaves and saw Gu Yunran lying on the ground, his face pale and beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.
It seems like he is about to die of a serious illness.
"Madam, Madam..." Zhuye burst into tears.
Madam Lu's heart trembled suddenly. Her left eyelid kept twitching and her palms were sweating from nervousness. She grabbed Madam Zhao's hand and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Madam Zhao shook her head: "I don't know."
Old Madam Lu could only hear her heart pounding, and felt very uneasy. She gripped Madam Zhao's hand tighter and tighter, as if she wanted to dig her nails into Madam Zhao's flesh.
Nanny Zhao's face was almost distorted with pain, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Taohua grabbed Yuling, who had just stained Gu Yun with dessert, and slapped her in the face, asking angrily, "What did you feed Madam?"
Yuling knelt on the ground and trembled: "Slave girl, bring the cakes."
"Everyone has one. No, there's nothing special about it."
Doctor Mu took the cake that Gu Yunran had just taken a bite of and took out a set of tools from the medicine box to test it. He said, "This cake is poisonous. It's white wood poison."
Yuling was startled and shook her head hurriedly: "I really don't know anything."
Everyone who came to the banquet was shocked and their faces turned pale. Some people started vomiting. Doctor Mu checked everyone else's pastries again.
"Don't worry, only Yun Ran's cakes are poisonous."
Everyone was relieved, but they looked at Old Madam Lu with fear. Such a family was too scary.
Gu Yunyi heard the commotion and quickly ran over. He shouted, "Doctor Mu, please come and check on Yun Ran."
Seeing Gu Yunran's painful expression, Gu Yunyi's eyes turned red and his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. Doctor Mu ran over and took Yunran's pulse.
