Xie Zhaozhao gave her her hand, and let him lead her as she slowly sank into the water.

He lifted her up, wrapped her legs around his waist, and hugged his neck.

"Little cutie," he said in a hoarse voice.

A pair of eyes are like crystals immersed in water, clear with a layer of water, the corners of the eyes are slightly upturned, the pure pupils and the cold eye shape are wonderfully blended into an extremely beautiful style, thin lips, as light as water.

"what do you want?"

Xie Zhaozhao now felt that she was increasingly unable to be separated from him, not even for a quarter of an hour.

She likes him just the way he is.

He treaded the bottom of the water, holding her, and she looked down at him, gently brushing the water droplets off his face with her fingers.

He said softly: "Gu Shaoyu, I think I like you a little bit!"

"Well, you like me!"

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"I'm not good enough for you, not enough..."

If you were good enough, you wouldn't look at me with such gratitude.

Because it's my duty to be nice to you, no need to be grateful!

The two of them were speechless.

A perfect blend of water and milk.

When it was done, he washed and wrapped her up, and asked her to sit and watch him bathe.

The water slid down his shoulders, flowing along his chest and back, outlining his broad back, and his muscles trembled slightly under the impact of the water.

In stark contrast to his refined demeanor when he donned court robes, he now looked incredibly alluring.

"You, really won't take a concubine in the future, right?" Xie Zhaozhao didn't know why she asked this question.

Gu Shaoyu turned around, shook off the water droplets on his face, bent down, and gently brushed the hair off her face.

She said, "I've said before that I will never take a concubine in my life. Of course, I will never keep a mistress or have a concubine. In short, until I die, there will only be you!"

Xie Zhaozhao curved her eyebrows and kissed him on the broad shoulder.

Whispered: "I hope you only have me, and I only have you."

Gu Shaoyu picked the person up and went back to bed.

He made progress again today!!

Xiaoguai has begun to open his heart, although only tentatively.

"Little sweetheart, let me ask you a question: Do you like January 1st or January 31st?"

Lying in bed, he asked Xie Zhaozhao seriously.

Xie Zhaozhao thought he was asking her whether she liked the first day or the last day of the first lunar month.

However, the first month is the first month, which has 30 days in total. Where did the 31st day come from?

But it is impossible for such a meticulous person to remember it wrongly, so there must be some deeper meaning behind asking this question.

She couldn't think of it, so she said there was no 31st in January, right? Besides, she didn't feel that she liked or disliked January 1st or 30th.

It’s pretty much the same every day, right?

"Are you asking which day is more meaningful?"

"This...Which day do you think is more meaningful?"

Xie Zhaozhao didn't know it was a trick, and said seriously: "New Year's Day is more meaningful, right?"

"why?"

"Because it's a new beginning, and I'm still with you." Xie Zhaozhao answered sincerely.

"I like January 31st," Gu Shaoyu said seriously. One day more than 30th, how amazing!

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't understand it. This kind of question was too childish. It was like I have candies in both hands. So you tell me which hand I like?

Seeing her stunned, Gu Shaoyu couldn't help but lift her fair ear and whispered something.

Xie Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, his face flushed, and he grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.

Sure enough, this person can't be serious for three minutes! !

Gu Shaoyu laughed and hid everywhere barefoot.

Xie Zhaozhao gritted his teeth and said, "Gu, Shao, Yu!"

Ah, Gu Shaoyu pressed her hands into the quilt and coaxed her, "Xiaoguai, look at me, January 31st is nothing, a hundred is really amazing..."

"You, keep saying, keep saying..."

Mad!

On the third day of the New Year, early in the morning, the old lady came to look for Xie Zhaozhao to go to Ci'enyuan again, and Gu Shaoyu was a little annoyed.

In front of Taxue, he said to Xie Zhaozhao: "Go and listen to what they say. If you don't want to listen, come back. You don't have to go unless there is something important in the future."

Taxue didn't dare to say more, she had no other choice. It was obvious that the old lady always got into trouble at the hands of the Third Lady, so why did she continue to make trouble and make others dislike her?

Xie Zhaozhao went to the old lady's yard and found Gu Chengyan and Xie Xiangxiang were there.

Gu Chengyan's complexion has not been good since the beginning of the year. He didn't say it, but Xie Zhaozhao knew it.

He was fired, never hired again, and beaten with forty sticks. In the past half month, he probably not only cheated on all the women in the mansion, but also kept supporting his sick body, right? !

He saw Xie Zhaozhao and greeted her politely, "Third Aunt."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't even bother to give him a nod and went straight into Ci'en Courtyard.

The old lady saw that her sisters-in-law and concubines from various courtyards had also arrived, and said with a grim expression: "No matter what, they are all our family members. Even if we break bones, we still have tendons. We can't do something that would harm our relatives and make people laugh at us!"

She talked for a while, and Tu agreed angrily, while Xie Zhaozhao, Lu and others were all confused.

"Mother, there are no outsiders here. Just say whatever you want to say!" Xie Zhaozhao looked at the old lady, "The rise and fall of the mansion is related to everyone."

After the old lady told him, Xie Zhaozhao realized that since the first day of the Lunar New Year, someone unknown had been blocking Gu Chengyan every day and feeding him a pill.

It is said that they are different men in black, and no matter how Gu Chengyan hides, he cannot escape.

He even stayed in his bedroom with the doors and windows closed and did not go out. He was held down in bed and a pill was stuffed into his mouth.

Xie Zhaozhao asked the old lady: "Have you reported it to the authorities?"

"How can we report to the police when the other party is wearing a mask? It's hateful that the thief is so familiar with the Marquis's Mansion, as if it were his own home."

Xie Zhaozhao knew she was insinuating, was there any need to say more? Apart from Qingpu Courtyard, no other courtyard had servants with such abilities.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't talk about other people's business, he just asked what kind of pills were given to Gu Chengyan, and whether they were poisonous or not?

The old lady was convinced that someone in the mansion was plotting something shady.

Xie Zhaozhao was too lazy to argue with her and said directly: "Report to the police!"

Suspect Qing Puyuan? Report to the police!

Mrs. Tu, the old lady and Gu Chengyan didn't expect her to be so decisive in calling the police, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your Highness, think carefully about who you have offended recently," Xie Zhaozhao reminded him, "The other party must have a purpose for doing this."

Gu Chengyan's eyes flashed quickly, and he said respectfully: "Thank you, Third Auntie, I'll think about it."

Although he suspected that it was his third uncle who was suspicious and seeking revenge on him because of the dumplings, Xie Zhaozhao was right, and it could have been someone else.

Could it be the Crown Prince? The Queen? The Cheng'en Mansion?

Have they discovered the side effects of the panacea?

As they were talking, Yuanyuan came to the old lady's courtyard and said to Xie Zhaozhao, "Madam, the old man has a close friend visiting the mansion and wants you to go back and entertain the guest."

Xie Zhaozhao asked for his resignation to the old lady.

The old lady said, "Since he is a close friend of the Third Brother, you should not neglect him. Tell your eldest sister-in-law if you need anything."

"Thank you, mother."

After leaving Ci'enyuan, Yuanyuan whispered to her, "Miss, Dongqin is here."
