Li Niang said, "Sir, you want to know who Zhao Yulou's mistress is. It's the one in this carriage."
Gu Shaoqing became interested, "Oh?"
"This carriage has never had any sign or anything. We don't know who this family is, but they come here to pick people up seven or eight days a month. Although Zhao Yulou looks bright and beautiful, he is just a country bumpkin. He usually likes to shout and yell here. Where would he go out?"
Li Niang's explanation was true, so Gu Shaoqing said, "I'm curious about who this family is. Maybe I know them. I'll take you back first."
Li Niang nodded and gave a special reminder, "It's okay if you are curious and follow to see a thing or two. But don't get caught, the person behind Zhao Yulou must be very powerful--" As she was talking, she saw that Gu Shaoqing's face was not very good, and Li Niang quickly covered her mouth, "I was wrong, you are the young master of the Marquis' Mansion, who in the whole capital can compare to you except the royal family."
Gu Shaoqing finally smiled, "No way, go back quickly, it's raining heavily, be careful not to catch a cold."
That's what she said, but she didn't have the heart to see Li Niang off for a long time. She turned around and walked towards the carriage with an umbrella. Li Niang ran to the doorstep to avoid the rain, and smiled at Gu Shaoqing. At this time, a girl came over from the corridor. It seemed that she had a good relationship with her. She handed Li Niang some roasted melon seeds and said, "What are you looking at?"
Li Niang took it and said, "I'm watching a show."
What kind of idiot is this young master of the Gu family? With such a brain, he dares to fight with their boss? "What kind of play? Did the boss invite someone to perform for us? It's raining today, where can we set up the stage?" The girl next to her asked hurriedly. Li Niang shook her head and just continued to crack melon seeds.
Gu Shaoqing walked with an umbrella to a certain distance from the carriage and stopped. She was just able to see the people getting off the carriage, and the people on the other side could not see her because of the trees.
Soon, a person who looked like a maid got off the carriage, but she was holding an umbrella and her back was visible, so Gu Shaoqing couldn't see clearly.
A long time passed, and Gu Shaoqing's shoes were soaked by the rain. He couldn't help wanting to go back, but he held back. Zhao Yulou was so hateful that he had to know where he was raised so that he could peel off his skin. His shoes were wet. He waited for a long time before he heard a faint voice coming from inside.
"This roast goose is really good. I want another one tomorrow!"
It turned out that he was waiting here, while Zhao Yulou was eating roast goose inside! Gu Shaoqing was very angry for a moment, but he just endured it. Finally, Zhao Yulou and the maid came out. First, she held an umbrella, and then the maid carefully held it over Zhao Yulou's head. Then she raised her head, and it was really like holding a lute and half covering her face. Gu Shaoqing looked at it carefully and was stunned for a moment.
Isn't this gold?
There were only a few maids around Liu, not to mention the old lady Chen Mama. Jin Cai was the head maid!
Zhao Yulou took a few more glances and confirmed that it was Jin Cai. At this time, Jin Cai had already escorted Zhao Yulou to the carriage. For a moment, Gu Shaoqing's mind seemed to be disconnected, and it took a long time for him to slowly start thinking.
Jin Cai was just a maid, and even if she had an affair with Zhao Yulou, she couldn't give him such great power.
No matter how evil Shen Qingqiu's daughter was, she was just a yellow-haired girl, and she didn't know anything about love between men and women. It seemed that only Liu was left. His uncle had been given a strong drug long ago, and he had lost his ability to have children... and Liu was pregnant now, and this happened again.
Instantly, Gu Shaoqing's heart seemed to be cleared up, and everything was revealed: it was this Liu family who wanted to confuse the bloodline of their Gu family! Thinking of this, Gu Shaoqing was both furious and happy. He was happy that his uncle Jiu was infertile, but he was angry that if he hadn't discovered this, he really didn't know how to expose it to his uncle Jiu. After all, he couldn't point at his uncle Jiu's head and say that you can't make a woman pregnant? Maybe he would even implicate himself, and he would lose more than he gained.
But now that he had the evidence of Liu's adultery, he could easily get himself out of it.
"Liu, you can't blame others. It's just you who can't stand the loneliness and has to find such a flashy person." Gu Shaoqing mocked himself secretly, thinking that God was on his side until now.
——
After Zhao Yulou entered the sedan chair, he took off his specially made thick-soled boots.
"What are you wearing this for? My feet are swollen."
Shen Qingqiu was young, so she had to put some padding on the heavy boots, and her feet had to use more strength. In addition, the boots were thick and tight, so her originally white feet became red and swollen after just one day. Jin Cai put the boots aside and got her a pair of soft-soled shoes.
Shen Qingqiu sighed softly after his feet felt comfortable, "Good Jincai, can you pour me some tea?"
Jin Cai snorted coldly, "What's the matter? Didn't the young lady drink enough fruit wine outside today?" Normally, she was strictly controlled by Mother Chen in the mansion, and when she went out, she was like a wild dog on the loose. Jin Cai didn't believe that the young lady would not act well with such a good opportunity today.
Shen Qingqiu did not deny it, "I feel sick of eating."
Jin Cai then turned around to make tea for her. There was a complete set of tea sets in the carriage. As she made tea, she said, "The girl usually doesn't listen to what Mama Chen says. Although I also think that Mama Chen sometimes keeps repeating the same thing over and over again, when it comes to food, I have to listen to her."
Shen Qingqiu stroked his belly, tilted his head back and sighed.
Mother Chen is used to managing people's diet, and she also knows which food will make skin white and which food will be good for the stomach. Seeing her mother and father gave birth to a younger brother in just a few months after being raised by her, even her stomach has been well taken care of. After drinking two sips of tea, the greasy taste was slightly dissipated.
"Girl, what's going on with you?" Jin Cai asked, "You're so weird. You're in disguise, and you sent someone to pick you up?"
Shen Qingqiu took a sip of tea and said, "Someone wants to die, I'll hand him a knife."
Jin Cai stopped asking after this. Anyway, she didn't have to worry about their daughter. Didn't she see her daughter fail in her attempt to punish someone? It was someone else who suffered a loss anyway, so why should she care? The carriage arrived at the Marquis's residence safely. Shen Qingqiu got off the carriage wearing embroidered shoes. Jin Cai wanted to hold an umbrella for her, but she had already run back to the house in the rain.
It was raining heavily at the moment, and Liu, who was pregnant, couldn't go out easily, so she stayed in the room and chanted "peace be upon him".
"Mom, why are you still doing this? Didn't Dad tell you not to do anything while you're pregnant?" Liu looked up and was about to speak when she saw that she was soaking wet. She could only say, "Didn't I ask Jin Cai to pick you up? Why are you still wet?"
"Madam, it's not my fault. I couldn't catch up with the girl with an umbrella behind me." Jin Cai ran back panting.
Seeing this, Liu could only shake her head helplessly, "Go get the girl some clean clothes, and wipe her hair."
"Yes." said the maid next to her.
Shen Qingqiu sat next to her, watching her make lace, "Mom, who are you making this for?" She never wore these things, and this didn't look like something a man would wear? It couldn't be for her unborn brother or sister, right?
Liu smiled and said, "I made it for the old lady of the Xiao family. She is not in good health. I made it for my own peace festival. It can be regarded as a small token of my appreciation."
Shen Qingqiu looked at her mother, also suspicious, "Mom, why are you so concerned about that old lady You?"
Liu frowned, "I can't really say" and shook her head for no apparent reason, "Maybe it's fate. I think that old lady looks kind."
Shen Qingqiu smiled and said, "If they weren't mother and daughter, I also like that old lady."
Liu glared at her, put down what she was doing, picked a grape from the fruit bowl and stuffed it into her mouth, "You are so sweet today, you are different from before." Even if she was her own mother, she had never heard her little devil say a few soft words to her on weekdays. Shen Qingqiu ate the grape, then looked at her mother, a little embarrassed and said: "Then let me tell you something, don't be angry?"
Liu looked at her suspiciously, "What's the matter first?"
Shen Qingqiu hesitated and refused to speak, so Liu said, "Just tell me, I won't bother with you." Shen Qingqiu finally spoke and told her everything about how he framed Gu Shaoqing, including Zhao Yulou's identity. Liu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that her daughter had found an adulterer for her.
It would be fine if she found an adulterer, but it was actually her.
"Mother Chen, Mother Chen!" Liu called out hurriedly. Mother Chen came out from the inner room when she saw this. Liu didn't say much and just said, "Go and get my feather duster."
When Shen Qingqiu heard this, he immediately got up from his chair, "Mom, you said you wouldn't bother with me!"
"I said I won't bother with you, but I didn't say I won't beat you!" Liu was furious. She didn't care if her daughter played with her reputation, but she created some Zhao Yulou and let others know that she was Zhao Yulou. Doesn't she want to protect her reputation in the future?
Mother Chen usually threatened Shen Qingqiu with a feather duster, but when Liu came to invite her seriously, she still tried to persuade him, "Madam, listen to what the girl has to say. Although she is a bit of a mixed-up person, she is not a person who is out of touch with the family's reputation...." Mother Chen didn't believe it at this point.
Didn't Shen Qingqiu lose all the reputation of the Shen family before? Shen Qingqiu didn't notice it and just said, "Mother Chen is right."
Liu was pregnant and didn't want to chase her and beat her. The mother and daughter quarreled for a while before they both sat down on the chairs panting. Shen Qingqiu saw her mother gasping for breath and quickly offered her a glass of honey water, "Mom, you must be thirsty, drink a little to moisten your throat."
