In the next few days, Xiao Ruoyun stayed at Gu Ruanruan's place just as he said.

Gu Baiyu was no longer interested in how their relationship would develop.

Because she felt that the situation in the court seemed to be getting more and more serious.

The most obvious thing is that Xiao Yanlin spends more and more time in the study room discussing matters with his subordinates. It seems that the situation in the northwest is not optimistic.

Zuo Lingfeng was also brought to Dali Temple for review, but there has been no result yet.

Early that morning, while Gu Baiyu was resting, he heard someone coming to report that Zuo Ningshuang was here.

At that time, Xiao Yanlin had just finished his work and when he heard Zuo Ningshuang was coming, he subconsciously wanted to go and meet him himself.

Gu Baiyu held his hand: "What are you doing? Don't you still have something to do? Just let me go see her."

Xiao Yanlin was a little worried: "She probably came here because of her brother's affairs. I don't want you to be too tired."

"I've been in the house all day, and the old housekeeper and Lingyu have taken care of everything in the house very well, and there's nothing to worry about. Besides, the brother and sister don't have anyone close to them in Kyoto. The good one is our Hou Mansion."

"She's a grown man like you, so it's not convenient for her to talk to you about some things. I guess she didn't come to you for help. She was probably panicked and wanted to talk to someone. You ask her to come to see me, and I'll chat with her. Just chat.”

In fact, it was indeed inappropriate for Xiao Yanlin to go see Zuo Ningshuang privately, but now Gu Baiyu didn't know that she was pregnant, but he knew.

Seeing that he couldn't convince Gu Baiyu, he could only sigh, "Then let her stay for a while, don't stay too long. If you feel tired, go and rest at any time, and I will find someone to take care of her."

"Okay, Lord Marquis is also tired. Let's go rest for a while and then go about your own business. I'll go to the living room to receive you."

Gu Baiyu changed her clothes and went to meet Zuo Ningshuang accompanied by Lingyu.

Seeing Gu Baiyu coming, Zuo Ningshuang stood up quickly.

Her eyes were heavily blue and black, and it seemed that she had not had a good rest during this period.

Seeing Gu Baiyu coming, after greeting her, I didn't know what to say for a while.

Gu Baiyu, on the other hand, sat next to her, took her hand and patted it gently.

"I know you are worried about your brother. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Zuo Ningshuang's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Madam, I'm not here to ask Mr. Hou for help. I know that if I can help, Mr. Hou will definitely help. I just... I just feel panicked."

Her eyes were red and she looked very pitiful: "You said that the place where my brother and I live is not big. Why do I always feel that my home is empty after he leaves? I can't help but have random thoughts when I am alone. "

She spoke very hastily and somewhat incoherently.

Gu Baiyu knew that she wanted to find someone to talk to, so he was not in a hurry to interrupt her. He just encouraged her with his eyes and asked her to say everything she wanted to say.

Zuo Ningshuang calmed down her emotions before continuing: "I have been thinking these past few days whether it was because I offended Aunt Gu at that time that this kind of disaster happened..."

This speculation has been lingering in her mind for a long time.

She and her brother first arrived in Kyoto. Her brother was the new champion. Although he was favored by the emperor, he actually did not have much power in his hands and was not involved in any partisan disputes.

After all, her brother is not qualified enough.

But this time, it was obvious that the person who was causing trouble for his brother was the second prince!

After thinking about it, the only thing she could think of was that Gu Ruanruan had some friendship with the second prince.

But before, they had a conflict with Gu Ruanruan in the Hou Mansion. Maybe the second prince wanted to stand up for Gu Ruanruan?

Hearing Zuo Ningshuang's speculation, Gu Baiyu didn't know how to answer.

In fact, she was the one who should feel sorry.

In the final analysis, it was because of the entanglement between her and Gu Ruanruan that Zuo Ningshuang was involved.

Moreover, Zuo Ningshuang is just a pawn of Gu Ruanruan. In the end, Gu Ruanruan still wants to win over Xiao Ruoyun's heart...

But she really couldn't talk to Zuo Ningshuang about these secret things that were unspeakable in their palace.

I can only comfort him: "You just need to remember that there is nothing wrong with your brother's behavior. He behaves upright and has not participated in any dirty things. In the end, he will be cleared in the end."

Zuo Ningshuang nodded: "I, I know... But I just want to ask, where is Aunt Gu now? I really can't... I'll go and apologize to her!"

Gu Baiyu sighed heavily and touched her hair.

Looking at Zuo Ningshuang's helpless appearance, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. After all, she is still a child...

He could only comfort him: "This matter is not as simple as you think. Gu Ruanruan is just an excuse. Besides, she is a woman in the back house and is involved in matters in the court. How can she say anything?" What are you talking about? Besides, you are the victim in the first place, and the Marquis and I feel guilty for not being able to seek justice for you. You are not wrong, so why should you apologize to her? "

"But my brother..."

"Don't worry about your brother. The Marquis has sent colleagues who are familiar with him in Dali Temple to ask. Your brother has not been punished. We are still checking the evidence. Once the matter comes to light, I guarantee you that your brother will be fine." Come back safely, okay?"

Zuo Ningshuang also calmed down at this time.

She was actually dizzy just now, and she understood what Gu Baiyu said.

"Thank you, madam, for listening to all the nonsense I said. I really... I just..."

"I understand, I understand. If the same thing happens to the Marquis one day, I might be more anxious than you. Don't worry, the Marquis is concerned about this matter and he will keep an eye on it for you."

Zuo Ningshuang was immediately grateful, "Thank you, madam."

Gu Baiyu felt that she was pitiful. She had no friends or relatives in Kyoto, and her heart suddenly softened.

So he said: "I am older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me sister from now on."

In fact, she had told Zuo Ningshuang before, but Zuo Ningshuang knew how to behave and still called her Madam.

But after today's confession, Zuo Ningshuang also regarded her as the closest person, so she opened her mouth with some embarrassment: "Sister."

Gu Baiyu nodded, sighing in her heart, if her real sister is still there...

Maybe she is also a pitiful and cute little girl like Zuo Ningshuang...

Thinking of this, she thought about Gu Ruanruan and Xiao Ruoyun again, and she felt sad and a little irritable.

Zuo Ningshuang saw that she was in a bad mood, and thought that they were done talking, so she left without further interruption.

After Zuo Ningshuang left, Gu Baiyu immediately found Lingyu.

"How was it when I asked you to keep an eye on Gu Ruanruan before? How are Gu Ruanruan and the second master getting along now?"

Lingyu quickly reported to her the recent situation.

"I heard that Aunt Gu didn't let the second master live in her yard, so the second master could only live in the small courtyard next to it. In the past few days, the second master had to run to Aunt Gu several times a day, every day I stayed in the capital for a short time, mostly to deliver some food;

Sometimes he would bring some gadgets that he thought Aunt Gu would like, but most of the time, he would leave in despair, perhaps not forgiving him yet. "

Gu Baiyu frowned slightly.

"Well, what else?"

"Well, if there is anything else, it is... one day, the second master didn't know what he was thinking, and he cooked a bowl of porridge with his own hands and sent it to him. He stayed in the yard for a long time that day, and he looked happy when he came out. "

Gu Baiyu felt helpless after hearing this.

Xiao Ruoyun was still too naive in front of Gu Ruanruan now.

Look, this is training him like a dog, and he feels quite happy.

"Is there anything else?"

Lin Yu thought for a while and remembered another thing.

"Oh, one more thing. Madam knows that all the medicinal materials for our Hou Mansion are purchased by Dr. Lu. The drug dealers that Dr. Lu often goes to are also very familiar with our Hou Mansion. I heard that licorice went there yesterday. One time, the slave thought that Aunt Gu was feeling unwell, but Licorice went to buy just ordinary tonics, but while buying the medicine, she kept asking about what medicines the Hou Mansion had used recently."

Gu Baiyu felt something was wrong as soon as she heard it. No one in the Hou Mansion had been sick recently. Only she felt some gastrointestinal discomfort. She had been drinking Doctor Lu's medicine. What was Licorice asking about?
