Gu Baiyu told Xiao Yanlin his guess. After hearing this, Xiao Yanlin shook his head gently: "No, I'm afraid their plot goes beyond that."
Gu Baiyu was stunned: "Why did you say this?"
Xiao Yan paused and then said: "We were already very sure about the affairs in the northwest, and we were able to stir up trouble among the officials in the northwest who had unevenly distributed the spoils. But now, they are suddenly united and unwilling to stand up."
Gu Baiyu hasn't been feeling well during this period, and has paid less attention to these matters. He thought that this matter would be finalized soon, but now it sounds like it's not that simple?
Xiao Yanlin noticed her question and nodded: "The low yield of food in the northwest and the poverty of the people have always been a problem for His Majesty. The proposal of a waterwheel previously made His Majesty very happy, but now, the Second Prince's faction has suddenly developed a way to fertilize the fields. , it is said that it is very useful. The combination of the two, the second prince has coaxed His Majesty to be very happy, and there are faint signs of forgiveness for the ridiculous things he did before. Now the situation in the court is one-sided, and even the prince and his party want to To avoid being sharp for the moment, Zuo Lingfeng is a smart man and will not make an enemy of the second prince at this time - he knows the friendship between Gu Ruanruan and the second prince."
Fertile field recipe?
Gu Baiyu didn't feel unfamiliar with this thing.
It's another thing that Gu Ruanruan taught Xiao Ruoyun in his previous life.
Xiao Ruoyun used these things to win a lot of respect from the court, and his status naturally increased accordingly.
The reason why Xiao Yanlin had an opportunity to take advantage of the incident in the northwest was that in the final analysis, the interests were limited, and all the local officials had their appetites raised. The benefits brought by a water tanker were not enough for them to unite as one.
But now, isn't there another recipe for fertile land?
At that time, it was another huge sum of money. No wonder everyone began to unite and be cautious. It was profitable, and naturally they became grasshoppers on the same boat.
After hearing everything that happened before the contact, Gu Baiyu finally understood everything.
Now, the confrontation between them and Gu Ruanruan is no longer just a dispute over the back house.
The court forces were also involved. No wonder Zuo Lingfeng didn't even care about his sister's grievances this time.
"Then Master Zuo, will everything be okay?"
Xiao Yanlin nodded: "It should be okay. Not to mention that Zuo Lingfeng is very popular with the emperor now, and he is also very cautious in his behavior. It should be just a temporary trap. It will be fine after we find out."
Xiao Yanlin said with some apology in his tone: "But Gu Ruanruan, I'm afraid I can't touch her anymore for the time being."
Gu Baiyu quickly shook his head: "I don't care about this. If I didn't want to seek justice for the Zuo family brothers and sisters, I wouldn't bother to waste time on her. Nowadays, the affairs of the court are the top priority, and the Hou family no longer needs to worry about the small things in the back house. Now, political matters are important."
During the conversation, the carriage had stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Someone had been waiting in the study for a long time. Xiao Yanlin insisted on sending Gu Baiyu back to his room and left in a hurry.
And Xiao Ruoyun was following behind...
Gu Baiyu was surprised to find that he did not look as depressed as expected, but instead seemed to be acting in a hurry and with a sense of progress as if he had a goal.
This is so strange.
Gu Baiyu vaguely felt that Xiao Ruoyun looked very familiar to her, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
After all, after her rebirth, she saw that Xiao Ruoyun was always the soft-hearted and easy-to-persuad good guy from the beginning.
Living under the protection of his brother all day long, he works a bit slowly and doesn't care much about many things. He looks leisurely and contented, and his life is determined.
Gu Baiyu worked hard for a long time today and was already very tired.
If it were normal times, he might have fallen asleep long ago.
But today, her body was very tired, but her mind maintained a strange excitement, keeping her in a state of half-dream and half-awake.
In the daze, an idea flashed in Gu Baiyu's mind, and he suddenly woke up!
She finally remembered why Xiao Ruoyun was so strange.
I finally remembered where I had seen Xiao Ruoyun like this and why he looked so familiar yet strange.
She remembered it all!
She has seen Xiao Ruoyun like this before.
At that time, she was seriously ill in bed, and Gu Ruanruan had almost become the mistress of the Hou Mansion. With the help of Gu Ruanruan, Xiao Ruoyun was no longer the "younger brother of Zhenbei Hou Xiao Yanlin" as others said, but became Mr. Xiao is a new talent in the court and is praised by everyone.
At that time, Xiao Ruoyun gradually broke away from the halo of his elder brother Xiao Yanlin and gained his own power and status. At one time, some people compared his achievements with Xiao Yanlin.
That was what Xiao Ruoyun was like at that time.
And Gu Baiyu finally saw clearly Gu Ruanruan's purpose this time.
Maybe add a little bit -
Let Xiao Ruoyun be independent and no longer just listen to his brother's arrangements in everything.
Gu Baiyu's mood was a little complicated, but he couldn't sleep anymore.
Gu Ruanruan has really changed.
This move was really beautiful.
The reason is that Gu Ruanruan has always been at a disadvantage in the fight with Gu Baiyu, and it is also inseparable from Xiao Ruoyun's inaction and cowardice.
But now, she chooses neither to break up nor to establish, causing a rift in the relationship between the brothers, and Xiao Ruoyun will naturally fall in love with Gu Ruanruan.
Gu Ruanruan may have initially wanted Xiao Ruoyun to take advantage of Xiao Yanlin's momentum, but it was obvious that this move would not work. It was not like this, so Xiao Ruoyun could completely rely on his brother's blessing and start a new life with her.
At that time, Gu Ruanruan will be Xiao Ruoyun's most important person in the world.
Gu Ruanruan was forcing Xiao Ruoyun to make a choice, and now, Xiao Ruoyun finally became what Gu Ruanruan wanted.
Gu Baiyu was half leaning on the head of the bed, lost in thought.
The sounds of the old housekeeper and Lingyu talking quietly came from outside the house.
"Ma'am, are you resting?"
"Yes, old housekeeper, are you okay?"
"Oh, what should we do? There are some things that the master needs to decide, but the Marquis is discussing things in the study, so..."
Gu Baiyu put on his coat and opened the door: "What's the matter? Come in and talk about it."
The old housekeeper was amnesty: "It's good if Madam wakes up! Go and take a look. The second master is packing his things and said he is moving out! You have to go and take a look at such a big thing!"
When Gu Baiyu arrived, Xiao Ruoyun had already packed everything.
Xunfu followed behind and hesitated to speak, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare.
She didn't seem surprised to see Gu Baiyu coming, but she just looked at the old housekeeper with some dissatisfaction.
"Why have you alerted my eldest sister-in-law? I told you, I'm just going out for a few days, and I'm not going to separate from my eldest brother. Why are you so excited?"
He was talking about the old housekeeper, but he was actually explaining it to Gu Baiyu.
Gu Baiyu stepped forward and blocked the luggage: "Second Master, this is not a trivial matter. Even if you want to go out to relax, don't be in a hurry. At least wait for the Marquis to finish handling the important matters and tell him, right?"
Xiao Ruoyun was holding a hairpin in his hand, and Gu Baiyu recognized it as belonging to Gu Ruanruan.
He fiddled with his hairpin and was silent for a long time before saying: "You are not in a hurry, but I am, and I really can't worry about Ruan Ruan. She has suffered too much stimulation today, and I shouldn't... ..”
Xiao Ruoyun stopped talking mid-sentence, but Gu Baiyu knew what he was regretting.
Xiao Ruoyun regretted that at the last moment, he should not have listened to Xiao Yanlin's look and snatched the piece of clothing, causing Gu Ruanruan to be embarrassed in front of everyone and Gu Ruanruan's love for him to be trampled on.
Gu Baiyu sighed secretly in his heart.
Gu Ruanruan was really clever in sowing discord.
Xiao Ruoyun seemed to realize that he shouldn't say this, and explained: "I didn't blame eldest brother, I just thought, didn't eldest brother say that Ruan Ruan's affairs are my private affairs in the back house, and it shouldn't matter if I go out for a few days. thing."
The words had reached this point, and Gu Baiyu could no longer stop him, so he had to take a step back.
Then he ordered the old housekeeper: "The second master has never gone out to settle things by himself. You can follow him and find a suitable place for the second master to rest. Also, go to the accountant to pay more silver. After all, he is the second young master of the Hou Mansion, so he cannot be wronged." Yes, the Marquis will feel bad if he finds out."
Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyun felt warm in her heart: "Sister-in-law, I know that eldest brother is good to me..."
Gu Baiyu raised her hand to interrupt him. This was all she could do. Now Xiao Ruoyun only focused on Gu Ruanruan. She insisted on stopping him from seeing him, which would make Xiao Ruoyun rebellious. She could only try her best to calm down the brothers. The relationship should at least not deteriorate.
"Just remember that he is your eldest brother. Even he and I only became husband and wife halfway. Only the two of you are born to be brothers by blood. You are the closest people in the world. Don't do it because of that. ... It ruined the friendship between the two brothers.”
Xiao Ruoyun nodded gratefully: "Sister-in-law! I know! I know everything! Don't you and Ruan Ruan have the same blood relationship as me and my eldest brother? Sister-in-law, you just misunderstood for a while. If we have a chance in the future, let's sit down and have a good talk, okay? ?"
Gu Baiyu didn't dare to deal with him, for fear that he would think too much, so he nodded and agreed: "We'll talk about it later. Since you want to leave, let's go before dawn and settle down early. It's not safe after dark, so go ahead."
......
After sending Xiao Ruoyun away, Gu Baiyu stood in the empty yard in a daze.
Xiao Ruoyun's words just now were still in her mind, she and Gu Ruanruan also had the same blood relationship.
Gu Baiyu pulled a wry smile from the corner of his mouth.
How could she and Gu Ruanruan be considered sisters?
Her sister…
There has long been a new person inside the shell...
