Two days later,

Honghong visited the Marquis' Mansion again. This time, Honghong did not go directly to Xiyuan, but went to the garden of the Marquis' Mansion first.

As soon as she entered the Marquis' Mansion and passed by a place, Honghong smelled the fragrance of flowers.

After I stopped, I realized it was a garden. I followed the scent closer and found it was a particularly beautiful white peony.

Looking at the blooming white peony, Honghong was surprised. It was already November, how could there be such beautiful peonies? The blooming period of white peony was not at this time.

Looking at Bai Mudan, Honghong thought for a while.

Decide immediately to move out!

Originally, I wanted to bring rose cakes for Shen Zhuo, but he forgot to ask, and he didn't dare to bring things from outside without permission. However, this peony is in the Marquis' Mansion, so it doesn't count as something from outside, right?

Never mind, just take it first. No problem, give it to Shen Zhuo. Shen Zhuo will probably like this apology very much.

As for the rose cake, he would wait until he asked his sister. This flower is really beautiful and very suitable for Shen Zhuo.

Honghong was busy moving the flowers, so excited that she could not wait to go to Xiyuan. She did not notice that there was a person standing where the flower pots were originally.

Main courtyard

The owner of the flowerpot, Mrs. Gu, was drinking tea. Looking at the tea in front of her, Mrs. Gu felt annoyed.

Since her shop was forced to close, she no longer had any extra money to satisfy her own preferences. Not only her private property, but also the private property of the Marquisate, was closed down a lot. Now there are only three shops left, and the expenses of the Marquisate have been reduced again and again.

Originally, she should have been drinking the best tea, listening to music, and eating cakes at this time. But now, she couldn't afford to call for mercy, there were no cakes, and even the tea had become such a bad drink.

Mrs. Gu put down the cup irritably. Don’t let her know who did it, otherwise...

"Madam." Just as Madam Gu was thinking about something, a maid came in quickly and knelt down on the ground.

Looking at the ignorant maid, Madam Gu became even more angry, "Why are you panicking? Didn't I ask you to move the flowers? Where are the flowers?"

The maid kneeling on the ground trembled, "Madam, there was a thief in the mansion, and the flowers were stolen by the thief."

"I followed Madam's instructions and went to the garden to bring back the flowers. But as soon as I arrived at the garden, I saw a young man in red clothes carrying the flower pots away."

"What?" Mrs. Gu was shocked. Those were the flowers she had specially brought from her mother's house. She was going to use them to hold a flower viewing party in a few days, and she had to return them.

The Houfu's financial resources are now greatly reduced, so she came up with this idea, looking for an opportunity to cooperate with the other palace, but the result was unexpected.

"Who is it? Where are the guards? Where are the guards of the Marquis' Mansion?" Mrs. Gu was furious.

"Madam, that young man was wandering around the mansion at will, and no one stopped him. Moreover,"

Mrs. Gu frowned, "And what?"

The kneeling maid lowered her head even more. "Madam, I saw the young man enter the eldest lady's courtyard."

Hearing this, Madam Gu was very surprised. She hurried forward and stared at the maid, "Are you sure you saw the flower thief enter Xiyuan?"

"I am sure." Without waiting for Madam Gu to ask, the maid continued:

"Besides, Xiyuan has been acting strangely lately. I have a good sister working in Xiyuan. She always chats with me when she sees me in the past."

"But recently, the maids I know in Xiyuan are very strange. They no longer talk to the maids in other courtyards, and even don't listen to the words of the nanny. They say that they only follow the orders of the eldest lady."

"How dare you." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu was furious and kicked the chair over.

The kneeling maid trembled and quickly lay down, "Madam, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. Please punish me."

Mrs. Gu took a few deep breaths and suppressed her anger. "Is everything you said true?"

"Every word I say is true. I dare not lie even a little." No one noticed the person kneeling on the ground and trembling, his eyes full of malice and jealousy.

Madam Gu's chest rose and fell violently, as if she was furious. She knew that the rebellious girl was not a good person. She refused to obey discipline and had the bad habits of a hooligan. She allowed people to steal her flowers and secretly bribed servants.

It turns out that he was not raised by my side, and his mind is so dirty.

Just when Mrs. Gu was about to go find Gu Jue to settle the score angrily, she suddenly stopped.

No, she couldn't go to Gu Jue alone, because that rebellious girl would just pretend to be pitiful. It was because of her that she suffered last time, and as a result, she and her husband didn't talk to each other for several days, and her husband even blamed her for it.

No. Madam Gu thought about it and did not go directly to Xiyuan, but went to find Gu Yuanhou.

Today is a day off, and Marquis Gu Yuan is in the study. Mrs. Gu acts coquettishly and after much persuasion, Marquis Gu Yuan finally agrees to go to Xiyuan with her.
