After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Gu Jin dragged Gu Rou all the way back to Jinxiu Courtyard. Only then did Gu Rou realize that although Gu Jin was slender, he was incredibly strong and she couldn't struggle free no matter how hard she tried.

When she arrived at Jinxiuyuan, Gu Rou found that her sleeves were all crumpled into a ball. The clothes were made of top-quality Shu brocade, and Gu Rou felt heartbroken when she saw it.

"Can't you just say what you want to say, big sister? Why do you have to be so mysterious? Look, you've wrinkled my clothes!"

"Oh, second sister, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault that I was so anxious that I didn't notice it."

Gu Jin's face was full of sincere apologies, which made Gu Rou stare at her with vigilance.

Did Gu Jin take the wrong medicine?

"Second sister, you don't know that I'm worried about the shop right now!"

Gu Rou raised her eyebrows and understood instantly.

Duobao had already reported to her that Gu Jin had gone crazy for some reason and dismissed all the people in the restaurant, and even hired a little brat to be the manager, which was simply ridiculous.

Gu Rou heard this and said slowly, "What happened in the shop?"

"Second sister, you don't know that the owner of the restaurant is a bully and the cook is not good enough. I got angry and fired them all.

But when I came back, my husband said that I was not doing it right, and I was at a loss for words. "

Gu Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Rou, and said a little embarrassedly: "I told my second aunt about my lofty ambitions that day, and I am too embarrassed to ask for advice again, so I can only come to you, second sister..."

It turned out that he came to her for help because he was having trouble managing the restaurant business.

Gu Rou sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said with some embarrassment: "Big sister said at the beginning that she didn't like others to interfere in your shop..."

Seeing this, Gu Jin hurriedly got up and went to the inner room to get a mahogany box. She looked at Gu Rou with burning eyes and smiled, "Second sister, this is a new ruby ​​coral necklace I got..."

Gu Rou stayed in Jinxiu Courtyard for quite a while. The two sisters had a very pleasant conversation, which surprised Duobao who came in to serve them.

Are the eldest and second ladies letting go of their grudges with a smile?

Gu Jin stood up and sent Gu Rou away, smiling and saying, "Second sister, you are smart. You enlightened me right away."

Gu Rou was also very happy to get the baby, "We are sisters from the same family, we should help each other.

Big sister, just lower your attitude, invite the shopkeeper Qian back, and don't act so impulsively in the future. I believe the restaurant's business will return to its former state."

Gu Jin nodded repeatedly in agreement, "If I have any questions in the future, I will go and ask my second sister for advice."

Not only did Gu Rou get good things, but she also persuaded Gu Jin to be obedient. She was in a very happy mood and did not notice the malicious smile in Gu Jin's eyes at all.

After seeing off Gu Rou and Gu Jin, they lazily lay back on the couch. Duobao couldn't help but remind her, "Madam, didn't the Second Miss ask you to invite Manager Qian?"

Gu Jin glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Do you like Shopkeeper Qian?"

Duobao was stunned and denied it flatly, "How could this servant like him!"

A handsome and noble man like the Third Young Master is her destiny.

"Then why are you in such a hurry? I thought you couldn't wait to see him!"

Duobao twitched his lips, "I am just concerned about the business of the restaurant..."

"No wonder you look so old, it turns out you worry too much."

Duobao: "..."

Duobao was so angry that he almost cried when he went out. The first thing he did when he returned to the house was to find a bronze mirror and look at himself carefully.

She is obviously a pretty lady, how can she look old?

Ruyi happened to come back from outside, Duobao called her and asked, "Ruyi, what do you think of my appearance?"

Ruyi tilted her head and said truthfully: "It's pretty good!"

Duobao curled his lips and thought that this girl had good taste.

Ru felt very happy that she had made Duobao laugh, and thought that she could take this opportunity to get closer to them.

"Sister Duobao, I actually admire you a lot. You are so loyal to the young mistress."

Duobao looked at himself in the mirror and snorted disdainfully, "Of course!"

Ruyi moved the stool closer and said with a smile: "Otherwise, at your age, Sister Duobao, you should have been married a long time ago, but you followed the young mistress into the Marquis' Mansion to take care of her. I must learn from you in the future..."

"Wait a minute!" Duobao felt something was not right. "What do you mean my age? How old do I look?"

Ruyi opened her round eyes, not realizing she had stepped on a landmine, "Sister Duobao, is she not already 20 years old?"

"I'm only seventeen! Only one year older than the young madam, okay!" Duobao was so angry that he stood up, staring at Ruyi with his eyes wide open and a fierce expression.

"Ah? Is that so?" Ruyi covered her mouth in surprise.

Duobao actually has a pretty face, but her figure is even better. Compared with those young girls, her figure is definitely hotter, and this is what she has always been proud of. However, Ruyi thinks she is mature because of this.

"Sister Duobao, I didn't mean it. I really didn't know you were only seventeen. I just saw that you looked much older than the young mistress. Ah... No, no, you're not old at all."

Ruyi's explanation made things worse. Duobao was deeply hurt by both the master and servant's actions, intentionally or unintentionally. He pushed Ruyi away and left.

Gu Jin was unaware of the little episode between them. He was leaning on the chaise longue and reading a storybook.

When Xie Ran came back and saw her so relaxed, he asked with a smile, "Did you two sisters have a good chat?"

"Yes, I was so happy that I gave her the ruby ​​and coral necklace."

Xie Ran raised his eyebrows.

He ordered Mo Yin to secretly let Qingliuyuan stuff the medicine into his body, and Gu Jin gave the musk beads to Gu Rou. I thought the two of them would not say goodbye to having children forever.

Xie Ran showed concern for a moment, but not much, and smiled and said, "Madam is really smart."

Gu Jin raised his lips and smiled, "I like the way you speak freely. To encourage you, I will allow you to soak for an extra quarter of an hour today."

Xie Ran: “…” He doesn’t want it at all!

While helping Xie Ran take a medicinal bath, Gu Jin was bored so he continued reading the storybook while adding firewood. This ancient storybook was really ugly, full of stories about rich and powerful women falling in love with poor scholars.

A scholar who can't even pass the imperial examination, why would anyone like you?

Do you dare to dream if you like me? Do you shamelessly like me?

The more Gu Jin watched, the angrier he became, and he kept adding firewood.

Xie Ran couldn't see Gu Jin's movements from above, he just felt it was getting hotter and hotter. At first he could still bear it, but later he felt that the water would soon boil if it continued to heat up.

"Ma'am, isn't the water a little too hot today?"

"Oh, you just aren't used to it. Just soak for a while longer!" Gu Jin said casually.

But Xie Ran felt more and more that something was wrong and stood up from the bathtub with a splash.

Gu Jin, who was originally concentrating on complaining about the storybook, raised his head instantly when he heard the sound of water. He saw a man's slender figure emerging from the mist, and a tall and majestic figure could be seen in the haze...

A warm current slid down the corner of Gu Jin's mouth. She thought she was drooling, and when she raised her hand and rubbed it, the back of her hand was stained with a bright red.

Is she... getting angry! ?
