He served her some soup and said, "I brought you here today because I have something to show you. I'll go open the door first, and you can go up to the attic later."
Zhuomian actually had no interest in men's little tricks, but she was bored and responded with a "hmm".
But when she was about to go up, an aunt suddenly stopped her and kindly reminded her: "Little girl, don't go up to the attic. Mr. Xiao Gu doesn't allow people to go up there. We don't go up there even when we're cleaning. Otherwise, Mr. Xiao Gu will get angry. How about I take you to some other places?"
Gu Qingxu waited for a long time, but Zhu Mian didn't come up. He came out to see and saw Zhu Mian chatting with his aunt, and they were having a very pleasant conversation.
As soon as he came down, his aunt left quickly, leaving them alone in their own world.

It was the first time she heard such a thing and she sensed his uneasiness. She didn't delve into his shameful past, but crossed her chest and said nonchalantly, "Why did Auntie tell me this? I thought she would say, 'It's been a long time since I saw the young master so happy,' or 'This is the first time the young master has brought a woman home.'"
Gu Qingxu was amused by her strange train of thought.
Zhumian raised his eyebrows: "Gu Shao, what's going on? It's not what I thought."
He readily agreed: "I can go down now and ask Auntie to tell you."
