22 Spring Return Banquet
Although these lychees are very valuable, compared with the money she uses to subsidize the Marquis' Mansion, even eating one pound of them every day would be enough.
"Oh, go tell Yang Jian that he will take the imperial examination soon. Tell him to study hard in the courtyard. Send someone to keep an eye on him and don't let him go out."
She was worried that Gu Haoxuan would find Yang Jian.
According to his experience in his previous life, Gu Haoxuan should have received the test papers by now. In order to ensure his admission to high school, he would definitely look for popular candidates, and among them, the talented Yang Jian would be the first to bear the brunt.
In his previous life, Gu Haoxuan found Yang Jian and revealed the questions to Yang Jian under the pretext of exchanging ideas. During the imperial examination, he secretly replaced Yang Jian's answers. As a result, Yang Jian failed the exam, while Gu Haoxuan became the top scorer.
In the end, Yang Jian wanted to report Gu Haoxuan, but was killed by him.
In this life, as long as Yang Jian had not come into contact with Gu Haoxuan and did not know what the question was, Gu Haoxuan would not secretly replace Yang Jian's answer.
This was a stupid idea she came up with. As for whether she could stop Yang Jian, it all depended on her luck.
After Liu came to the Marquis' Mansion, she was naturally honest and obedient in front of the old lady. Once night fell, she quietly went to find Gu Youting.
Gu Youting knew that Liu was under the care of his mother, so he thought about going to visit his new beauty. He had been with Liu for more than ten years, and even though they were in love, he was a little tired of her and she was not as attractive as the newcomer.
Especially since Gu Youting favored two people in one night, and the two of them rushed to serve him, which made Gu Youting very happy, as if he had found fun.
Gu Youting was favoring his two concubines when Liu came over.
When Liu opened the door, she saw Gu Youting hanging out with the two beauties. Her face turned pale immediately and she ran out crying.
Gu Youting never expected that he would be discovered by Liu.
He had never told Liu about the affairs of the two little beauties. Besides, Liu was staying with the old lady and had no energy to worry about his affairs.
Several days had passed and Liu had never come out to look for him. How could it be such a coincidence today? He had just come to look for his two concubines when Liu came and was caught red-handed.
Seeing Liu's sad look, Gu Youting's heart was broken. He didn't care about anything else. He put on his clothes and chased after her.
The two beauties beside him tried their best to keep him, but Gu Youting showed no reluctance at all.
After Gu Youting left, the two concubines showed expressions of disgust.
They thought they were supposed to serve the young master, but they didn't expect to be snatched away by the old man Gu Youting. Especially recently, after Gu Youting took the Chinese medicine, he has been unable to live well. They are disgusted with him, but they have to pretend that they can't stand it.
So disgusting.
Fortunately, they were called away by the old woman Liu Qingqing, which made them feel a lot more relieved.
I really hope that this marquis will never come to bully them again.
Acting is very tiring.
Soon, Gu Youting caught up with Liu Qingqing and hugged her in his arms.
Liu Qingqing struggled desperately.
"Qingqing, don't be angry. Those two are just bed-warmers. You stay with your mother these days. I need to take care of them!"
Liu Qingqing sneered in her heart. It was really hard to believe what Gu Youting said.
Find two concubines to meet your needs?
It's clearly just greed for pleasure.
And judging from the current situation, they must have been together for some time.
No wonder Gu Youting seemed much weaker last time. It must be because he put all his energy on these two concubines, right?
It was common for men to lose control of their lower body, and she did not expect Gu Youting to be loving and affectionate to her forever, so she took action early to prevent Gu Youting from having children.
Even if Gu Youting takes more concubines, he will never have any children.
So she had already let it go, and now she was making a fuss just to test her position in Gu Youting's heart.
Fortunately, Gu Youting chased them out immediately and was not seduced by those vixens.
However, it is not enough to prove that Gu Youting still has her in his heart.
"Husband, you have a new lover in your heart, so you don't love me anymore. I ran out to find you in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect to ruin your good deeds."
Gu Youting immediately explained, "What good news? Don't talk nonsense. I was just playing with them. I have always been thinking about you in my heart."
As he spoke, Gu Youting lowered his head and kissed Liu.
Liu said proudly, "I don't care. My husband has a new love now. Who knows when he will abandon me, his old love."
Gu Youting held her in his arms and comforted her, "How could that be? You are the only one in my heart."
Liu Qingqing said, "I don't believe it. I heard that the Spring Festival Banquet will be held soon. I want you to take me to see the world."
This Spring Return Banquet is held three days before the imperial examination.
He does have some time.
Besides, Shen is ill and cannot attend the Spring Return Banquet, so it is just right to bring Liu along.
So Gu Youting agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Only then did Liu Qingqing bury herself in Gu Youting's chest with satisfaction.
The old lady looked down on Liu from the bottom of her heart. Now that she knew that Gu Youting was going to take Liu to the Spring Return Banquet, she was immediately furious.
"No. Who is this Liu? How can she accompany you to the Spring Return Banquet?"
"Isn't Mrs. Shen sick? I can't go alone, right?"
"Then take Gu Haoxuan with you. He is your son, so it is only natural for him to go with you. But what is Liu's status? How can she go with you? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Gu Youting said, "Qingqing is also my woman. How can it be shameful for her to go to the Spring Return Banquet with me? Besides, she is Haoxuan's biological mother. She is my woman. It is natural for her to go to the Spring Return Banquet with me."
The old lady slapped him away.
“Bang!”
"Gu Youting, wake up, have you been bewitched by this woman? You actually want to take her to the Spring Return Banquet. In what capacity do you want her to go?"
"Of course it's my cousin's identity."
"Look, who brought their cousin along? To put it nicely, she's a cousin, but to put it bluntly, who doesn't know she's a mistress? You call her a cousin just to make your reputation sound better. Do you want to ruin the reputation you've built up over a decade? Your wife is bedridden, and the husband brings his mistress around. Is that what you did?"
The old lady was really angry.
Gu Youting is already so old, yet he is still so confused.
If Liu was a good person, she would not have endured for eighteen years and kept her in the outer house.
Nor would he confuse Gu Youting into becoming a muddleheaded person who cannot distinguish right from wrong.
Gu Youting also realized that it might be inappropriate to bring Liu to the banquet.
But he has already promised Liu!
