Xiao Yanlin chatted with Prime Minister Gu for a few more words. Lingyu said that the pastries were sent to Prime Minister Gu, but in fact, all of them ended up in Xiao Yanlin's stomach.

Prime Minister Gu watched helplessly as Xiao Yanlin finished everything in the basket politely but quickly, "Master Hou, you didn't have dinner today?"

Xiao Yanlin made a move, finished the last thing on the plate, and then said: "If Mrs. Gu prepared these things, Prime Minister Gu must have the same good appetite as this junior."

Prime Minister Gu laughed: "That's true! But recently, Madam doesn't allow late-night snacks, saying that she can't digest them after eating them at night."

Xiao Yanlin chatted with Prime Minister Gu a few more things about the court.

Although Xiao Yanlin believed Gu Cheng's oath that he had a solution to the second prince's trouble, he still revealed some of the second prince's recent movements to Prime Minister Gu, which also contained some minor clues.

Although it is not a big deal, when the two parties confront each other, it will still give the second prince a headache.

After the chat was over, Xiao Yanlin was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Lingyu waited until Xiao Yanlin went out before following him out, preparing to return to the yard to take care of Gu Baiyu.

Xiao Yan stopped Lingyu before leaving: "Tell her that the food is delicious and let her wait with peace of mind. She doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

After Lingyu received the message, she immediately went back and told Gu Baiyu.

Gu Baiyu was already lying down at this time, but he was a little unable to sleep. After all, he was still thinking about Gu Ruanruan.

She was already prepared to not sleep well in the past few days, but she didn't know if it was because Xiao Yanlin was too reliable. After listening to Lingyu's words, she miraculously settled down, and sleepiness suddenly came to her heart. , just fell asleep.

For the next two days, everything was peaceful in the Prime Minister's house.

The second prince was not in trouble at the court, but it was a great achievement——

A capable person under the second prince developed a "water wheel", which was said to be able to improve farming and solve the water shortage in farmland in the northwest.

He made the pattern and attached the drawings, and asked the emperor to see it in person. He heard that the effect was very good. The emperor was very happy and immediately praised him. The second prince's faction had been suppressed by the prince's faction. This time It's a feeling of pride.

Prime Minister Gu had discussed this matter with her after he came to court. He only said that the Second Prince did not know where he had found the talented person. The waterwheel was really exquisitely made. He hoped that this thing would be really beneficial to farming. He also said that the Second Prince was such a good person. I finally did something good.

Only Gu Baiyu immediately realized when he heard the name "Water Wheel" that this should be Gu Ruanruan's handiwork.

She had heard of this thing in her previous life, but the drawing of this waterwheel in her previous life should have been given to Xiao Ruoyun who was on duty at the Ministry of Works.

Xiao Ruoyun was also appreciated by the emperor for developing the waterwheel. After returning home, he doted on Gu Ruanruan even more, saying that Gu Ruanruan was his lucky star.

After Prime Minister Gu left, Gu Baiyu smiled mockingly.

It seems that in Gu Ruanruan's heart, her brother Ruoyun is not that important. What was supposed to promote the relationship between the two, Gu Ruanruan actually gave to the second prince. I wonder if Xiao Ruoyun will be sad after knowing this. .

It seems that since her rebirth, everyone's destiny has changed.

Gu Ruanruan, who was supposed to be at ease in the back house with the protagonist Xiao Ruoyun, actually boarded the second prince's ship. From now on, I don't know if everything will develop according to the novel... ...

Gu Baiyu was lost in thought and didn't come back to his senses until Lingyu's excited voice came.

"Miss! Miss! The young master is back!"

Gu Baiyu suddenly raised his head, his expression unable to conceal his surprise and joy: "Brother is back? So soon?"

Lingyu was still a little confused: "I told you the night when the Marquis came. The master said that the eldest young master will be back in a few days. You are getting married. He rushed back quickly."

Gu Baiyu was stunned. She fell asleep too quickly that night. She vaguely heard what Lingyu said, but she didn't hear it clearly.

Unexpectedly, my brother is back!

The servants in the mansion had already gone to the front yard to wait, and Gu Baiyu also hurried over.

As soon as I walked to the front yard, I saw a tall and upright figure.

Gu Baifeng had been away on errands for the emperor for several months, and now he was rushing back home. He was dusty, with a green beard sprouting on his chin, and he looked a little tired.

Gu Baiyu greeted him with red eyes: "Brother!"

When Gu Baifeng turned around, he saw his sister whom he had doted on since childhood, and immediately showed a surprised smile: "Yu'er!"

The brother and sister had a good relationship and were a little excited when they met. Gu Baifeng had a lot to say to Gu Baiyu.

"Dad said you were going to get married? Or was it the Marquis of Zhenbei? When did you decide? I don't even know!"

Gu Baifeng's questions came one after another. Gu Baiyu didn't know where to start, but Mrs. Gu came to rescue her: "You are covered in dust, go change your clothes, have something to eat, and then take a rest! Your sister is here, You can’t run away! Ask after you finish eating!”

With Mrs. Gu taking care of things, the servants quickly moved into action, changing Gu Baifeng's clothes and preparing food for him. The whole mansion became lively because of Gu Baifeng's return.

Prime Minister Gu also came out. After asking him a few official questions, he asked him to change his clothes and go to the study room quickly. If he had any important matters to discuss, he also asked Gu Baiyu to follow him.

Mrs. Gu smiled and scolded her: "You don't care about the child at all! The child is tired from the journey, let him eat something good first!"

Gu Baifeng was indeed hungry. In order to catch up with Gu Baiyu's wedding, he changed several horses and ate dry food on the road. He hurried and slowed down to catch up.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, he and Gu Baiyu went to the study together.

When they arrived at the study, Gu Baifeng couldn't wait to ask Gu Baiyu about his marriage.

Gu Baiyu still felt a little shy every time she was asked this question. She blushed and told Gu Baifeng about her and Xiao Yanlin.

Gu Baiyu thought that her willfulness would be reprimanded by her brother, but to her surprise, Gu Baifeng was not very angry. Instead, he nodded in agreement and said: "I think the Marquis of Zhenbei is good. I have been an official with him for several years and have had some dealings with him. He is much better than his useless brother! I thought you and Xiao Ruoyun were fooling around before, and I didn't say it clearly for fear of making you sad. But now it seems that my sister has finally woken up."

Gu Baifeng didn't know that after he left, Gu Ruanruan did all the ridiculous things to bring Gu Baiyu and Xiao Ruoyun together, so he just mentioned it casually, but he didn't want the two people present to look a little ugly.

Only then did Prime Minister Gu tell Gu Baifeng what Gu Ruanruan had been doing these days. After hearing this, Gu Baifeng was furious!

"Is she crazy?! I did those things to get you killed! Where is she?"

Gu Baifeng has never had a good impression of Gu Ruanruan. He felt that this concubine's sister was too out-of-touch and would cause trouble sooner or later. But he didn't expect that he almost killed Gu Baiyu and his most beloved sister. How could he not call him angry?

Seeing that he was excited, Gu Baiyu quickly went to pull him and told him what happened next.

The relationship between Gu Baiyu and Gu Baifeng was even better than that of ordinary siblings, and they even had no pretense in front of him. They bluntly said that they designed Gu Ruanruan to become a concubine for Xiao Ruoyun, a concubine of the Xiao family.

Gu Baifeng was quite pleased after hearing this: "Yu'er has grown up, and she knows how to fight back when she is bullied. I always thought you were too soft-tempered before. She has been fighting with you everywhere since she was a child, and you always give in to her. It seems that It's me who underestimated you, but you handle important matters very well."

When Gu Baiyu heard what Gu Baifeng said, he felt a little complicated.

In her previous life, Gu Baifeng also told her that she should not be too concerned about this concubine sister sometimes and should think more about herself. She was too naive at that time and always thought that they were all a family. How bad could Gu Ruanruan be? go?

It wasn’t until I learned a lesson that I finally woke up in this life.

"Well, I know that my brother will never give in to her in the future. People respect me as much as I respect them, but if they offend me, I will not give in."

After explaining clearly what happened at home during this period, Prime Minister Gu mentioned Gu Ruanruan's defection to the second prince and his plan in the second prince's case.

Gu Baifeng frowned when he heard this: "This letter was written by Gu Ruanruan himself. Someone will definitely make a fuss about it."

Prime Minister Gu nodded: "That's why I asked you to discuss it. I thought it would be best not to affect Yu'er and Zhenbei Hou, so I wanted to make it a trivial matter and wait until Yu'er gets married and settles down. Then I'll do what he said. "

After Prime Minister Gu finished speaking, Gu Baiyu immediately took out a ledger from his sleeve.

Gu Baifeng took it, looked at it twice, and raised his eyebrows.

"Yu'er, did you do this?"

Gu Baiyu nodded: "I originally thought that I couldn't help with this matter, but my father and I thought of going together. This is a family matter, so we should naturally understand it as a family matter."

Gu Baiyu opened the account book and saw that it was full of accounts, and what was recorded was the expenses of Gu Ruanruan and Gu Baiyu from childhood to adulthood.

This account book details every expenditure of the two sisters since they were born. Thanks to Mrs. Gu's birth, the Prime Minister's Mansion's account book has always been kept, and each transaction has a detailed title. Gu Baiyu even marked each of these expenses. If anyone has doubts about the position of an item in the original account book, it can even be matched on the spot with the annual expenditure of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gu Baiyu also made detailed calculations in the past few days, and realized that his direct daughter had not spent as much as a concubine in recent years.
