Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Fei Luan is Chang Xinya's most trusted maidservant, she knows many of Chang Xinya's secrets, and even when Chang Xinya is inconvenient or unable to do so, Fei Luan will do things for her.

Naturally, Fei Luan knew about the inside story of this marriage, and even participated in it, so she naturally understood what Chang Xinya was worried about.

Feiluan thought for a while, and finally asked Chang Xinya in a low voice:

"Why don't you just go and sweep the tail now?"

"I'm afraid not." Chang Xinya shook her head without thinking about it.

When Chang Xinya left Gu Yanshu's yard, she had already thought about the mopping up.

But after thinking about it carefully, Chang Xinya knew that this was not a proper way.

Although Chang Xinya used to be a young lady, in fact her natal family, Chang's family, has long since fallen into disrepair, and now it is not much better than an ordinary common people's family.

If it weren't for this, Chang Xinya wouldn't have married Marquis Cheng En, who was already on the decline, as a concubine.

When Chang Xinya entered the Marquis of Cheng En's residence, besides an old lady, there was only one dowry maid beside her. This dowry maid was Fei Luan, and that old lady had long since disappeared.

In other words, most of Chang Xinya's confidantes, except for Feiluan, were cultivated after they married into the Marquis of Chengen's Mansion, or even took control of the middle class in the backyard of the Marquis of Chengen's Mansion.

Among these people, quite a few are the sons of the Marquis of Cheng En's Mansion.

It's not that Chang Xinya didn't think about cultivating some confidantes who had nothing to do with the Hou Mansion and belonged to her alone.

But how can this be easy?

No matter whether it is to recruit people or cultivate them, energy and financial resources are extremely needed, but this Hou's mansion seems to be full of flowers, but there is actually nothing in it that can be sold, and even money is in short supply.

Just as it is now, it is already very difficult to maintain the dignity that Marquis Chengen should have in terms of food and clothing, how can I spend the extra spare money for Aunt Chang to train her own people?

Therefore, in the past ten years in charge of the backyard of the Hou Mansion, Chang Xinya has only got a few such people, and she is not willing to use them under idle circumstances.

Coupled with Gu Hongji's love for Aunt Chang for ten years, and the servants in the Hou's mansion also used it smoothly, Aunt Chang didn't care too much about the servant.

Under normal circumstances, this is not a big deal, but once the critical moment comes, the disadvantages will be revealed.

For example, in the current situation, what Gu Hongji wanted to investigate, what those people did could not be hidden at all.

After all, compared with the concubine Aunt Chang, Gu Hongji is the real master of the Marquis of Chengen's Mansion.

At the beginning, it was a son of a family in the Hou's mansion who went to do this matter. Now that Fei Luan said to clean up the matter, even if there was enough time, it might not be able to cover it up seamlessly.

If you can't sweep away the leftover tail, it's better not to sweep it.

After thinking for a while, Feiluan also understood the truth:

"Then let Lord Hou go to investigate?"

"Of course not!" Chang Xinya gave Fei Luan a direct look, as if she was annoyed by Fei Luan's stupidity.

In this Hou Mansion, no one knows Gu Hongji better than Aunt Chang. If she just lets Gu Hongji investigate without doing anything, then her favor in the backyard of the Hou Mansion will almost come to an end. .

It doesn't work to sweep the tail, and it doesn't work if you don't do anything. Feiluan is completely helpless now.

Just when Feiluan was guessing what Chang Xinya was going to do, she heard a slight sigh, and then Aunt Chang's soft-spoken order:

"Go to the closet and find a more elegant dress and put it on for me. Let's go to the old lady's place."

"Yes." Fei Luan nodded hastily, and her flustered heart became much more stable when she heard "Old Lady".

The reason why Aunt Chang can firmly control the backyard of the Hou Mansion is not only the favor of Gu Hongji, but also the support of the old lady of the Hou Mansion.

Because the old matriarch of Marquis Cheng'en's mansion is not only Gu Hongji's biological mother, but also Chang Xinya's direct aunt.

At first, when Mrs. Gu was still there, Chang Xinya was able to compete with Mrs. Gu in the backyard of the Hou Mansion because she borrowed the influence of the old lady.

Now that Chang Xinya said she was going to the old lady's place, Fei Luan knew that she was going to rescue soldiers.

Immediately, he did not dare to delay, according to what Chang Xinya said, he dug out a suit of plain clothes from the closet for Chang Xinya to change into, and then went out with Chang Xinya.

***

Of course, Gu Yanshu has no way of knowing the series of actions Chang Xinya made in his yard. Of course, Gu Yanshu has no interest in these actions of Chang Xinya.

For Gu Yanshu now, the most important thing is to take care of his body.

After Gu Hongji left, perhaps because of guilt, he sent someone to invite another doctor for Gu Yanshu.

After the doctor came, Gu Yanshu inquired carefully, and the answer he got was the same as what Bai Shu said, as long as he takes good care of him, the root cause of the disease will not remain.

In order to have a healthy body, Gu Yanshu naturally kept his ears shut and devoted himself to health and wellness.

Not to mention taking medicine on time, going to bed early and getting up early, completely entering the health-preserving mode of the elderly.

I don't know if it's because Young Master Gu's own foundation is good, or Gu Yanshu's belief in wanting to recover is too strong. After a few days of recuperation, Gu Yanshu's body has improved a lot.

Although he hasn't fully recovered yet, it's not like when Gu Yanshu first came here, he struggled to get out of bed and walk around.

After his health improved, Gu Yanshu finally realized what it was like to have a healthy body.

There is no longer a faint pain in the chest when I breathe, and even the limbs that feel weak all the time no longer feel weak, and I will not suddenly wake up from my sleep at night, and my appetite has improved a lot.

Leaving aside the other bad things about Young Master Gu, Gu Yanshu felt that his time travel was worthwhile in terms of this body alone.

Just when Gu Yanshu felt the changes in himself, Bai Shu hurried in from the door:

"Master, it's not good!"

"What's the matter?" Gu Yanshu maintained the posture just now, didn't even move, and only gave Bai Shu a look, signaling him to speak directly.

"When the servant just went to the front yard, I heard that for some reason a few days ago, Aunt Chang pissed off Lord Hou, and many of the servants around her were sold out. Even Aunt Chang was restrained by Master Hou. Tell her to reflect on herself!"

These days, because of taking care of Gu Yanshu, Bai Shu has never left Gu Yanshu's yard, so he doesn't know anything about what's going on inside the Hou Mansion or outside Gu Yanshu Academy.

Until today, Gu Yanshu's health has improved, and there are some trivial matters in the yard that need to be dealt with, so Bai Shu went outside the yard for a walk.

Who knew that not long after he left, he heard about Aunt Chang's affairs, and he didn't finish the urgent Baishu matter, so he turned around and ran back to the courtyard to report the matter to Gu Yanshu.

"Forbidden?"

Gu Yanshu frowned slightly, first a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then it became clear:

It seems that this Chang Xinya is more capable than he imagined.

Looking at Gu Hongji's appearance when he left that day, Gu Yanshu thought that Chang Xinya would definitely suffer a lot, but in the end she had to be grounded lightly.

Although Gu Yanshu knew from the beginning that Aunt Chang had been in the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, it was impossible for her to be overthrown just because of such an incident, but Gu Yanshu was very dissatisfied with this result.

You must know that Young Master Gu lost his life because of Chang Xinya's private little actions. As a result, Chang Xinya has not even been taken back as the head of the family. How can he satisfy Gu Yanshu?

"Master? Auntie has been grounded, so you're not in a hurry?" Seeing Gu Yanshu's presence, Bai Shu was full of doubts.

"It's just grounding, why worry?"

Not only was Gu Yanshu not in a hurry, he even began to think about the next move in his heart.

But after raising his eyes to look at Shang Baizhu with puzzled and confused eyes, he suddenly realized one thing:

In the eyes of Bai Shu and the servants of the Hou Mansion, Gu Xiaogong and Chang Xinya are like mother and child, and they are very close.

If it were Young Master Gu who knew about Chang Xinya's punishment, he might have rushed out of the yard to find Gu Hongji's theory in the first place. How could there be such an old god like him?

Thinking of this, Gu Yanshu couldn't help but look at Bai Shu with a trace of scrutiny:

As a servant who has served Young Master Gu since childhood, how could Bai Shu not know what kind of temperament Young Master Gu is like?

Now that he knew, Bai Shu hurriedly came over to tell him the news even though he knew his body was not fully recovered. What is the purpose?

Is it to make him lose his mind, and then go to Gu Hongji for a theory?

Then why did Bai Shu do this?Just to let him go to Gu Hongji's for a meal?

For the conclusion that Bai Shu is loyal to Young Master Gu, Gu Yanshu also analyzed it based on the information in Young Master Gu's memory.

But Gu Xiaogong's memory still carries Gu's subjective feelings.

For example, Chang Xinya, in Young Master Gu's memory, is a kind elder and a mother who can talk to each other.

If we get rid of Young Master Gu's subjective feelings and then observe Bai Shu...

"The young master is right, it's just grounding, it shouldn't be a big deal."

Bai Shu, on the other hand, did not notice that the way Gu Yanshu looked at him had changed, but instead nodded in agreement:

"Fortunately, the young master is calmer this time, and he didn't ask Master Hou to argue."

"Do you think I shouldn't go to my father?" Gu Yanshu looked at Bai Shu with scrutiny in his eyes, but the scrutiny in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"Of course not!" Bai Shu didn't doubt him, and nodded without thinking.

"Why do you think it shouldn't be?" Gu Yanshu really wanted to know the reason this time.

"This..." Bai Shu scratched his head, and then replied with some hesitation, "Although I don't know why, it was like this before. After you went to find Lord Hou, my aunt was fine, but you would be punished." Lord Hou will punish you."

When he said this, Bai Shu couldn't help showing a hint of puzzlement on his face. It seemed that this question had troubled him for a long time.

Bai Shu didn't know the answer, but Gu Yanshu did.

Of course, this is the good deed of Young Master Gu's good aunt, Chang Xinya.

It is one set of rhetoric in front of Gu Hongji, and another set of rhetoric in front of Young Master Gu behind Gu Hongji's back. slime.

The final result is that in Gu Hongji's eyes, Chang Xinya is a good elder who loves his children, but Young Master Gu has become a stubborn and rebellious son who will not change after repeated admonitions.

This time and again, Young Master Gu will not only be punished, but his image in Gu Hongji's eyes will become more and more unbearable.

It's just that right now, the most important thing is not the quarrel between Gu Hongji and Gu Xiaogong's father and son, but Bai Shu.

Gu Yanshu has experienced the apocalypse for ten years, his eyes can see through people's hearts, but no one has ever been able to hide from his eyes when lying.

So from Bai Shu's tone and expression, Gu Yanshu can also judge that he is not lying, but:

"Since you don't want me to go to my father's place, why did you tell me about Aunt Chang just now?"

When asked this question, Bai Shu was completely puzzled:

"Isn't this what you ordered the servants, young master? I must tell you about my aunt as soon as possible..."

After finishing speaking, Bai Shu didn't forget to mutter in a low voice, "The slave didn't want to say..." There was even a trace of grievance in his tone.

Following Bai Shu's aggrieved murmur, Gu Yanshu also realized that he had wronged Bai Shu:

Young Master Gu had indeed ordered Bai Shu to do so, but because the time interval was relatively long, Gu Yanshu did not think of it for a while.

It was also after Bai Shu mentioned that Gu Yanshu realized that there was still such a section of content in his memory.

As for why Bai Shu didn't want to say it, Gu Yanshu didn't even need to ask why he didn't hide it.

Because although Bai Shu is loyal, his brain is indeed a bit stupid, otherwise he wouldn't have been by Young Master Gu's side for more than ten years, and he still hasn't seen what Chang Xinya is.

To put it bluntly, this Bai Shu and Mr. Gu are indeed a pair of master and servant, but judging from their IQ, they are a perfect match.

Judging from Bai Shu's IQ, he might not be able to do such a thing as an undercover agent.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanshu let go of the doubts in his heart, but he did not forget to say:

"Since you also found out that your aunt will be fine, you don't need to report this kind of thing to me in the future."

Although I don't know why Gu Yanshu said that, but Bai Shu answered quickly:

"Yes, the servant knows."

After answering, Bai Shu thought of another thing that the servants of the Hou Mansion said when he just left:

"By the way, young master, there is one more thing! The slave just heard that the eldest young master seems to be returning home soon!"
