Chapter 245 Gu Jinxuan realized that Wen Nuo was Xiao Nuo Gongzi
Princess Anyang hadn't seen Song Yu for several days and wanted to talk to her.
But Du Zhihuan looked unhappy at the moment, and she couldn't just leave her alone.
He, together with Gu Jinyan and several other noble ladies who were on good terms with Du Zhihuan, sent Du Zhihuan back to Yilan Fanghua.
"Hanhuan, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just have a stomachache." Du Zhihuan took the ginger and brown sugar water cooked by Yunque and drank it while it was hot, then asked someone to bring in the food.
"Sister Princess, Sister Jinyan, Mingrui, Xiaohui... please sit down and have your meal. Don't go hungry."
Princess Anyang drank a bowl of ginseng chicken soup and said, "Hanhan, Sister Yu is back. Don't overthink it. The Marquis, his wife, and your third brother will still dote on you. You're still the daughter of the Marquisate."
Du Zhihuan nodded. "You're right. It wasn't easy for my parents to raise me. I want to stay by their side to repay their kindness and fulfill my filial duty. This is also a way to atone for the sins of my biological parents."
Zhang Mingrui, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, asked, "Then...then are you engaged to Prince Xiao?"
"Since I'm not of the Marquis's bloodline, I naturally have to return it to my sister. That was originally her engagement."
"Hanhuan, I will recognize you as my cousin's wife. When my aunt comes back, I will ask her to recognize you as her granddaughter-in-law."
Princess Anyang ate her meal quietly without making any comments.
Sister Yu was her savior, so naturally she wanted her to marry well.
She also noticed that Huanhuan had a good relationship with her cousin.
She didn't want to see the two of them separated.
Alas, this matter depends on who has a better affinity with my cousin.
"Sister Yan, I know you treat me well, but I'm not of the Marquisate's bloodline, so I'm not qualified to marry into Prince Rong's mansion. Let's not talk about this for now. Nothing is more important than filling my stomach."
Gu Jinyan was indeed hungry at the moment, so she didn't continue talking about this matter and decided to wait until her aunt came back.
Song Yu, Jiang Shiyun and Wen Nuo finished their meal in Du Ye's room. After watching her take a nap, Song Yu took Jiang Shiyun and Wen Nuo back to Zhuohua Courtyard.
As soon as Wen Nuo entered Zhuohuayuan, he kicked a pebble away.
It seemed like something had irritated him, and he angrily kicked several pebbles into the pond, scaring the koi in the pond and causing them to run around.
"Cousin, what happened to Xiao Nuo?"
"He's on a diet, are you sleepy?"
Jiang Shiyun nodded obediently, "Yes, I'm sleepy. I want to sleep in your room."
After Song Yu coaxed Jiang Shiyun to sleep, he called Wen Nuo to the study.
"Sister, the eldest daughter of the Gu family is an ungrateful person. You're her savior, yet she's so protective of Du Zhihuan! She said that letting Du Zhihuan stay and honor the Marquis and his wife is a way of atonement for her biological parents? Is that even human language?"
Song Yu laughed. "It's not worth it for you to be so angry about this. What if you lose weight from anger?"
After Song Yu said this, Wen Nuo lost his temper. "It's better if she loses weight. I don't have to work so hard on my diet. But, the eldest daughter of the Gu family really shouldn't have saved her. She's actually Du Zhihuan's good sister."
Song Yu said, "Don't even mention that she's Du Zhihuan's sister. Even if I had met her then, I wouldn't have stood by and watched her die. Besides, I was using her as a training ground for cesarean sections, so I tried everything I could to save her. She's lucky to be alive, and she didn't even know I was the one who saved her."
"How could she not know? Prince Mu came to ask me if you knew how to perform seppuku. He should have known that you saved Miss Gu. Didn't Prince Mu tell the Gu siblings?"
Song Yu thought about Gu Jinyan's indifferent expression and said, "Prince Mu probably didn't tell the siblings."
Wen Nuo asked, "If she knew you were her savior, would she still help Du Zhihuan in every way?"
"How should I know? Anyway, from now on, if we meet anyone who is friendly with Du Zhihuan, we should keep our distance."
"What about Princess Anyang? She spoke up for Du Zhihuan today."
Song Yu thought of what Song Rui had done to her, "Then I must work hard to make Princess Anyang like me more."
We must never let Song Rui use the power of Prince Rui's Mansion to turn things around in this life.
"Then should we try to win over Miss Gu?"
Song Yu said, "It's so tiring to please others and make them like you. The most important thing is that you can't let Du Zhihuan live a good life."
"But she is still the daughter of the Du family and is living a good life."
"You'll understand later. I don't have enough people to protect me in secret. You should arrange for your subordinates to monitor Princess Anyang's daily travels, and then send people to the Imperial College to monitor Song Rui. Don't let your father and my father know."
"Yeah, I know."
After eating and drinking his fill, Du Zhixu sent his friends away and returned to his own courtyard. Remembering that Wen Nuo was in Zhuohua Courtyard, he turned around and went to Zhuohua Courtyard.
Passing by the back garden, I ran into Gu Jinxuan, "Why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for my sister."
"I'm afraid your sister needs to accompany Huanhuan for a nap. You'll have to wait for a long time. Wait in my yard."
A quarter of an hour later, Du Zhixu pulled Wen Nuo over.
Wen Nuo saw Gu Jinxuan reach out and press down the mask on his face.
Gu Jinxuan watched Wen Nuo walking towards him. Although he was wearing a mask, he always felt a sense of familiarity and couldn't help but think of Wen Nuo's appearance in his mind.
"Third brother, which family is he from?"
"This is my sister's younger brother, Xiao Nuo, and this is Gu's brother."
Xiao Nuo?
Gu Jinxuan quickly spoke, "Hello, Master Xiaonuo."
Wen Nuo spoke in official language as soon as he opened his mouth, "Brother Gu, hello too."
Gu Jinxuan felt a little regretful. It seemed that he was wrong. His fluent Mandarin did not have a trace of Jiangnan accent.
Du Zhixu was surprised. "Xiao Nuo, you can speak Mandarin so fluently. From now on, just say it's official and no one will know you're from Jiangnan."
Gu Jinxuan was overjoyed and said excitedly, "You are Xiao Nuo, the son of the Wen family who lives on Yukang Street, Wen Nuo, right?"
"You've got the wrong person, Brother Gu." Wen Nuo spoke in official language. He didn't want to recognize him.
"You must be. Young Master Xiao Nuo is as fat as you. There's no doubt about it!"
Du Zhixu's eyes widened, "Do you know each other?"
"Third brother, I don't know him. There are many people with the same name. Let's go quickly. I'm too sleepy."
"Don't worry, Master Xiaonuo, I won't say anything."
"Brother." Gu Jinyan came from the opposite side with her maid.
"Sister, why are you out so early?"
Gu Jinyan glanced at Wen Nuo who was running away with Du Zhixu, "I still have things to do. What were you talking about just now?"
"Oh, nothing, sister, you go back first, I have something to ask Prince Mu."
After Song Yu left with Du Ye, Mu Jingxing returned to the Dali Temple.
"Sir, the eldest son of the Gu family wants to see you."
Prince Mu looked at the time and said, "Let him in."
Gu Jinxuan came in carrying a food box. "Sir, this is the four dishes and one soup that the eldest princess asked the Du family chef to prepare for you according to your preferences. Eat them while they're hot."
"Thank you." Mu Jingxing asked him to sit down. "What do you want to see me for?"
"The last time you came to the mansion, you said I would soon meet my sister's savior. I saw a fat little man wearing a mask at the Du Mansion. Is he Young Master Xiao Nuo? You must have seen his true face, otherwise you wouldn't have said that for no reason that day. And then there's Song Yu, the eldest daughter of the Du family. She must be my sister's savior, right?"
