Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Qi Qingxi looked at the table full of food, and felt that it was completely unnecessary to worry about having no place to eat for dinner.

Because it didn't take long for Gu Liang to go and come back, and his young master came with him.

Gu Yu walked up to her and handed her the bundle in his hand: "Your things."

her stuff?Did she leave anything in Gu Yu's place?

Qi Qingxi took the bundle in doubt and opened it.

After opening it, she was shocked, it turned out to be the pastry mold that was broken by the woman when she was in Li's residence, and... 30 taels of silver.

She stared at Gu Yu in a daze, speechless.

"Mrs. Li Jiatai asked me to bring this to you. She has already learned about her granddaughter's actions from her servants. She originally wanted that girl to come and apologize to you."

Qi Qingxi felt that it was unnecessary. Although an apology is a way to solve the problem, not everything can be solved by saying "I'm sorry".

After all, if she really accidentally died on the outskirts today, even a light apology from the three girls would not be able to bring her back to life.

It's better to keep this beam for now, and she will find a chance to settle accounts later.

"No, no." Qi Qingxi said.

"Well, I don't think there is any need to apologize." Gu Yu nodded and said lightly, "I have already suggested to their master to send a few young ladies to the temple to think about it, and don't go out casually if you don't have anything to do, so that you won't add to the family for no reason. Disastrous things happen without knowing it.”

Qi Qingxi was shocked when he heard the words, hearing the meaning of Gu Yu's words, did he already avenge her?

She couldn't help being a little anxious: "How can you make such a suggestion? I heard that the elder of their family is an official in the capital. As the saying goes, the first rank of officials crushes people to death."

"Although their family made mistakes first, he will not punish his own girl for you, an outsider. If he hates you because of this, what will he do against you everywhere in the future?"

Seeing that she was so nervous, Gu Yu was very happy and grinned unconsciously.

Qi Qingxi was a little angry, she was worried about him, but he laughed, and he laughed so happily.

She tried hard to recall what she said just now, and found that there was nothing worth laughing about.

"I'm telling you seriously, what are you laughing at? Is there something funny about what I said?"

Only then did Gu Yu put away his smile. He felt that Qi Qingxi's words just now were quite correct. It was true that the first rank of officials crushed people to death.

He remembered what Mrs. Li said when they were in Li's residence just now.

"My Li family also has an elder who is an official in the court. Mr. Gu, you are a small county magistrate. If you want to seek justice for that woman, you have to look at yourself."

Gu Yu couldn't help but sneered when she heard her words, a mere fifth-rank official, the capital caught a lot, is it something worth showing off?

Li Yuanwai on the side was horrified when his mother said this. Others may not know the background of the man in front of him, but his elder brother sent someone from the capital to send an urgent letter to explain it before Gu Yu took office.

His eldest brother is only a fifth-rank official, and he is ignored by others at all. Now that his mother has offended him, his brother's career as an official may come to an end.

He immediately jumped out to smooth things over for his mother: "Forgive me, Mr. Gu, my mother was drunk at the banquet just now, and her mind is a little unclear. I have remembered everything you explained, and I will definitely do it properly. The girl who is so tall and so generous will take a good lesson."

After all, Mrs. Li has lived such an old age and has experienced some ups and downs. He immediately understood what his son meant by what he said, and immediately shut up and let his son deal with it.

After Gu Yu left, her son told her about Gu Yu's life experience, and she turned pale with shock and couldn't help thanking that she didn't say any more nonsense.

She immediately ordered the family steward to catch up with Gu Yu and send the girl's belongings along with a hundred silver, so that she can make up for as much as she can.

It happened that because Gu Liang was delayed at Qi's house for some time, the steward just went out and caught up with Gu Yu who was just getting into the carriage and was about to leave. He handed over the burden to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu glanced at the burden, and his attitude was not bad.

But he only took 30 taels of silver. He remembered that Qi Qingxi said that her salary was 20 taels of silver, and the remaining [-] taels should be considered as medical expenses.

He didn't think it was necessary to take too much, otherwise they really thought that he, Gu Yu, was short of his Li family's money.

Gu Yu patted the burden, so that Qi Qingxi didn't have to worry: "Then Li Yuanwai is still a person who keeps his word, and he won't break the contract if he promises, otherwise he won't send all your things back and pay for the medical expenses."

Qi Qingxi thought for a while, and felt that what Gu Yu said made sense, as long as it didn't affect him, let's leave it at that.

She remembered another matter and felt that she had to explain it clearly to him.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you." Qi Qingxi poured Gu Yu a glass of water.

"Tell me." Gu Yu took the cup and listened to her while drinking water.

Qi Qingxi struggled for a long time before finally saying, "I heard that your lord is already engaged."

Gu Yu, who was drinking water, almost spit out water, his face darkened slightly: "Who did you listen to? I don't..."

Qi Qingxi interrupted him: "No, my lord, please listen to me first, I already know that the past dim sum can sell so well because of your help, and today's matter, the little girl is very grateful."

She took a deep breath: "I will always remember the kindness of your lord. The little girl's culinary skills are fortunate to be favored by Mr. Gu. She originally wanted to cook a few more meals to repay a little bit, but since Mr. Gu has a fiancée, This approach is inappropriate.”

"Firstly, it will ruin your reputation, and secondly..."

"Secondly what?"

Qi Qingxi didn't say anything else: "In short, I will repay your kindness with a straw ring in the future, and now please leave, Mr. Gu."

Now that her legs and feet are inconvenient, she can only sit on a chair. After saying this, she dare not look at Gu Yu again.

Gu Yu walked up to her, bent down and approached her at eye level, and said, "If I don't obey, what do you want to do?"

Qi Qingxi didn't expect that Gu Yu would suddenly come so close to her, she could even feel the heat gushing out of Gu Yu's breath.

She leaned her head back and slightly opened the distance between the two of them: "Master Gu doesn't want me to force you away, but..."

"But what?" Gu Yu asked.

Qi Qingxi smiled wryly and said: "But there is something that I need to let the adults know first. The adults have rescued me several times, but the little girl still can't control her heart..."

"I fell in love with your lord." Qi Qingxi plucked up the courage to look into Gu Yu's eyes, "Since your lord doesn't want to leave, please restrain yourself, otherwise something will happen to you and me, and your fiancée It's all wrong."

Qi Qingxi originally didn't want to do this, but she had to. She felt that her remarks should be bold enough to scare away Gu Yu, a gentleman who had been influenced by feudal ethics since childhood.
