Yan Zhu became happy and started to move around.

Xiaoji took her to see the place where the small kitchen was going to be made and she gave her some pointers.

Wen Yu then took them to see Madam Qi.

Madam Qi was very kind. She gave them gifts and had a conversation with them. Wen Yu personally escorted them out of the house.

Watching them get in the car and leave, Wen Yu walked back while thinking and went to Madam Qi's room again.

"Mother."

"They left?"

"Let's go. Mother, something happened today..." Then, Wen Yu told Qi Yue about her meeting with Yan Zhu.

Madam Qi was so angry that she trembled when she heard this: "They are really a nest of snakes and rats. They follow the example of their superiors and none of them are good people!"

Wen Yu said, "Don't be angry, mother. Zhuzhu is wearing embroidered shoes, so she shouldn't step on his dog shit. But she didn't show her attitude, and she thought we were afraid! This kind of thing... If a child is not taught well, it's the mother's fault!"

"Okay, I'll go find Liu!" Mrs. Qi stood up.

"Then you do this..." She whispered softly.

Mrs. Liu was looking at the account book in the room when Mrs. Qi came.

"Sister-in-law!" Liu stood up with a smile.

"Well. Is my third brother's wife busy?" Mrs. Qi said in a pretentious manner.

"Not bad! Please take a seat, sister-in-law."

"I won't sit down! I'm here just to explain to my third brother's wife: the one who came to the garden today is the girlfriend of Xiaowu's wife. I know her. My eldest sister-in-law likes her very much and wants to adopt her as her adopted daughter! So, if you don't understand anything, just ask me!"

Liu was confused: "Sister-in-law...what does this mean?"

"Huh? Third sister-in-law, have you forgotten? Didn't you ask Qi Yue to stop the girl and ask her name? She was already hiding from him for a long distance, yet you still chased after her!" Mrs. Qi had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

Liu understood as soon as she heard it and her face turned pale.

"You scared the girl... Xiaowu's wife was also very angry when she heard about it. I have been in the Qi family for so many years, and this has never happened in the family. So, I came to explain it myself. It is good for my sister-in-law to be strict in managing the family, but if this happens in the future, even if you send the maids and old women around you to ask... After all, there are differences between men and women!

That little girl is very beautiful and well-behaved. If Qi Yue talks to her carelessly and Zhu sees her and causes misunderstanding, we will be wronged!"

Mrs. Liu was extremely embarrassed. "What the eldest sister-in-law said is right! I'll explain it later. I'm really sorry... Qi Yue has been in the northwest for a long time. The people there are rough and he is used to it. It's possible that he didn't notice the difference for a while. I'll remind him."

"Didn't Qi Yue go to the battlefield there? It seems that he has learned a lot of other things! Tell him, this is the only time. If he does it again, don't blame me, your aunt, for not giving him face!"

After saying this, Mrs. Qi turned and left.

Liu was so angry that her face turned red. After Madam Qi disappeared, she spat: Bitch!

"Where's Qi Yue? Call him over!" she said viciously.

…

Wen Yu knew that Madam Qi would definitely stand up for her, but she also felt that something was not right.

Qi Yue was a member of the Qi Family Army in the northwest, so he was used to being arrogant, but why did his eyes and behavior seem a bit evil...

"Laba, go find Mu Bo in front and ask him to check on Qi Yue outside. Also at home..."

Laba said: "At home, can your subordinates keep an eye on it?!"

"I don't know where he comes from, so I can't just stare at him rashly. This isn't the Wen family..."

Laba nodded.

"Xiao Ji, don't wander around in the garden recently. Wait until you get some news from Mu Bo. Let Qing He and Xiao Xiang go out! Also, if you have acquaintances who are tight-lipped and have a good temper, you can ask them to help keep an eye on the Zhu family courtyard. This matter is not urgent. It doesn't matter whether you can find out or not, just don't let it get out of the way! Otherwise, it will be embarrassing and something bad may happen."

"yes."

…

Master Qing was feeling uneasy, and on the way back he said to Li Jiang, "I need to go to my nephew's house. Leave me nearby and you can go. I will go back to the store by myself in a while."

Li Jiang knew that Master Qing had made up her mind as soon as she spoke, but he saw that she didn't even bring a maid with her, and there was no carriage that she was familiar with.

How can I go out alone on the street? I can just stay and wait, but I am worried that Gu Yue will go back with Yan Zhu alone.

I was scratching my head and regretting not bringing someone else out today.

Gu Yue looked at him in confusion, but didn't waste any words with him.

Master Qing said, "Li Jiang, just stop here, I'll walk in by myself!"

"No, just send it in."

"It's narrow inside, it's hard for the car to get in."

"I'll get off the car and take you there. Then, you stay here for a while, and I'll pick you up after I take Miss Zhuzhu back."

Master Qing was not polite: "That's fine! I'm just sorry for the hard work."

Yan Zhu lifted the curtain and said, "Are we going to wait for Master Qing here? Look how lively this street is, there are several big shops, I'll go shopping first."

Master Qing had something on his mind and didn't say much.

"Miss Zhuzhu, put on your veil and you can only shop in these stores. You can't go anywhere else. I'll pick you up when Master Qing comes out. Guyue, you better behave yourself... The store is very kind to you. You must keep an eye on the girl and don't take her around! Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"

Gu Yue was so angry that he really wanted to punch this talkative guy in front of him and knock out his teeth!

"What's there to see? Did you hear me?" Li Jiang was very powerful.

Gu Yue was unwilling to lose this opportunity to be alone with Yan Zhu no matter how angry he was. He had no choice but to snort coldly.

Yan Zhu put on her veil and got out of the car. "Li Jiang, stop talking so much, Master Qing, don't worry... Hey, there's some snacks for sale! We'll wait here!"

She walked into the store happily, and Gu Yue followed closely.

After sending Master Qing into the courtyard, Li Jiang stayed in the car by himself. If someone else's car passed by, he would have to make room! "Aunt! Why are you here at this time?" Yi Bai was very happy to see her.

Master Qing didn't say anything. He sat in front of him, looking at the face that looked the same as the one just now, with a sad expression.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you?" Yi Bai's expression also became serious.

After a while, Master Qing said, "I met someone today..." and told him about what he saw at the Qi family, Aunt Xiuyun.

"It's really hard to believe that they look so similar without any blood relationship. But according to her experience, she has nothing to do with the Bai family."

"Have you thought about it carefully? Could it be a side branch, a bastard?"

"Your father has no illegitimate children. He is a man..." Master Qing shook his head: "He is versatile and rich, and he is generous. He has many friends and countless beauties. Your mother only has him in her heart, and she gets angry all day long because of those beauties.

But he! After making a fuss outside, he would come back to coax your mother. He coaxed her in different ways, each time different! We all laughed so hard watching him.

Until your mother was so embarrassed that she forgave him...

I heard that he redeemed several top girls from the entertainment industry...but in the end, his sister and children...ended up like that..."

Master Qing started to cry.

"Aunt, it's all over. Don't cry."

"He was both the most affectionate and the most ruthless. No matter who he was in love with, he would spend money lavishly but never promised, and he would not allow anyone to bear his children. If some concubines could not stand it any longer, he would give them a generous sum of money and property to send them away. Therefore, you have no illegitimate children. You only have two brothers and one sister. Similarly, your grandfather and grandmother only gave birth to your father and the following six aunts. I am the youngest."

Master Qing and Yibai looked at each other in silence.

"Look, do you want to tell the girl about this?"

Yi Bai thought about it and said, "I think we can mention Aunt Xiuyun and ask Miss Wen to find out some information within her ability. But don't mention the relationship with the Bai family. That old lady is Miss Wen's grandmother-in-law. Aunt Xiuyun is her father-in-law's concubine. It would be bad if people knew that she was asking around."

Besides, Auntie, you can basically confirm that there is no such person in the Bai family. Even if this auntie has a connection with the Bai family, given her current status, it may not be helpful for her to recognize them. "

Master Qing nodded, "You are very thoughtful."

Yan Zhu entered the shop and looked at the snacks on the counter...

But she was a little confused. How come they were half the same as the ones in her own store? "Gu Yue, look, it's so strange!" She approached Gu Yue, pulled his sleeve, and whispered.

Feeling her sweet breath and gentle touch, Gu Yue's heart was pounding. Happiness came so quickly that he was not prepared...

So, I had no idea what Yan Zhu meant by "weird".

Seeing that he didn't understand, Yan Zhu continued, "The dim sum here is the same as in our store! But, some of them are made by me..."

Gu Yue heard the word "we" again and smiled, showing his white teeth.

The waiter in the store was very enthusiastic: "Uncle, what would you two like to order?"

Yan Zhu pointed to one of them, which was her best, and said, "This one, this one, this one... these five kinds, half a pound each!"

"Okay!"

"Here, take two pieces and let's try them first."

The guy quickly wrapped two pieces in paper and gave one to each of them.

Yan Zhu was very anxious, and her eyebrows frowned as soon as she took a bite.

Gu Yue took a quick bite and didn't eat it.

Yan Zhu curled her lips. She had some silver in her purse and used it to transfer the money.

Gu Yue looked around and heard some noise coming from behind. He went over to take a look and saw the cook who had gone to the store last time to look for work, standing with her hands on her hips, lecturing a few people.

He narrowed his eyes and realized something.

He quickly stepped back and whispered something into Yan Zhu's ear.

Yan Zhu's eyes widened: "Really?! I'll go check it out!"

Gu Yue grabbed her and whispered, "I'll check it out later!"

Yan Zhu was actually very excited, her eyes sparkled, and she nodded frequently! She was so cute...
