Seeking Happiness Chapter 8: Scheming


     There are four delicate side dishes and a small pot of porridge on the table.

   The porridge boiled very fragrantly, but Shu Huan seemed to have no appetite, grabbed the chopsticks and pulled it in the porridge bowl with a sad face, suddenly approached Gu Xiran and whispered: "Your excuse is too clumsy. Will your wife believe it?"

   Gu Xiran glanced at her disapprovingly: "Do you have a better excuse?"

   "No." Shu Huan shook her head.

   "That's it?" Gu Xiran pushed the empty bowl in front of her: "Put another bowl for me."

  ……

   Shu Huan glanced at the bowl and didn't move.

   Gu Xiran looked at her and added two words: "Please."

   Shu Huan was helpless, so she picked up the bowl and got up to scoop the porridge for him. I didn’t expect Aunt Yun who was standing by to see her. She rushed over immediately, took the bowl from her, and smiled slightly: "Second grandmother carefully It's hot, let me come."

   Someone is willing to do it for her, and she has no objection. After sitting down, she drank her porridge. Just now, Gu Xiran said that the round room was a temporary move, and there was no veil. What a bad excuse for this...

   just thought about it, and someone tapped his head with chopsticks: "I still want to? If you don't believe me, you don't believe anything, do you plan to come to the public?"

   how is it possible!

   Shu Huan blushed and stared at him.

   Gu Xiran didn’t care, picked up a chopstick, and whispered: "Even if I think I'm lying, what can they do?"

   had to do this!

   But when the old lady just left, she looked at her like a vixen. Lin also asked her mother-in-law to say that the second master is not in good health. You should pay attention to it.

   I was unwilling to let her carry the scapegoat for no reason. It was just that when I recalled what happened last night, it seemed that everything had been explained. He expected her to be unlucky, so he was planning ahead? Otherwise, the maids could not testify by the side that she had bathed and slept in the main room last night.

   This careful maintenance made Shu Huan grateful, she whispered: "Thank you."

   Gu Xiran inexplicably: "Thank you for what?"

   "Today's matter."

   Pour down a basin of cold water.

   "No thanks, my wife, it's my business to keep going, I don't like other people to interfere."

  ……

   became affectionate.

   Shuhuan silently lowered her head to eat the porridge.

   After a while, the two of them finished eating, and Auntie Yun told her to sit down and eat.

   Shu Huan looked at the cumbersome rules of this wealthy family, but felt bored. Just about to get up and go around, Xiangqian brought tea. She was studying what kind of tea was in the tea bowl, and suddenly heard Gu Xiran lightly. Asked: "Who has been out of the yard in the morning?"

   Xiangqian didn't know, she shook her head.

   or Aunt Yun put down her chopsticks and said in embarrassment: "I found out that the bird's nest that Er Ye usually eats was gone early in the morning, so I sent Qiaoyun out to get it once, but what's wrong?"

   Gu Xiran didn’t answer, he just put the tea bowl on the table: "Call her."

   Qiaoyun was decoction in the small tea room at the moment, and she was glad that she was lucky. The old lady was angry and wanted to beat them, but he didn’t think that the second master had just mentioned the consummation, so he got mixed up...

   just thought, when she heard Gu Xiran calling her, she let a little maid watch Huo Hou, went to the main room by herself, and smiled when she entered the door: "Second Lord, you call me?"

   Gu Xiran glanced at her: "Did you publicize the fire last night?"

   Qiaoyun changed her face, and hurriedly bowed her head and said: "The maid did not..."

   "No?" Gu Xiran smiled slightly: "The fire caught in the middle of the night, and there was no cause for trouble. The people in this yard knew that if you hadn't passed it out, why did the old lady come here early in the morning?"

   Qiaoyun is stubborn, and he still whispers to refute: "There are too many maids in the courtyard, and there are so many people, who knows which one came out..."

   Gu Xiran rubbed his temples a little tiredly: "Whether it’s you or anyone else, you’ve heard clearly, no one will be allowed to tell the story of this courtyard to the outside world. If it’s going to be spread, I won’t beat and scold you, just The monthly deduction is one month for the first rebate, and another three months for the deduction. After that, it will be deducted for one year and two years. Whoever thinks that the monthly money is too much, just spread the word."

   Qiaoyun bit her lip and dare not say any more.

   Aunt Yun stood up with a guilty expression on her face: "This was originally my job. I didn't take care of the maid. I have to worry about my second master."

   I didn’t think that Gu Xiran would not answer her, but I hoped that Shuhuan would be determined: "Take it down?"

  "Huh?" Shu Huan looked on, only to find that his eyes were like torches, his insight was clear, and he secretly admired him, but how could he expect that he would suddenly pull himself on him, and he couldn't help but say inexplicably: "What to write down?"

   "Rules." Gu Xiran said lightly: "From now on this will be your own business."

  ……

   Shu Huan was speechless, and glanced at Aunt Yun secretly, and saw her face flushed, as if she was ashamed to be embarrassed, she couldn't help but sympathize with her. Only sympathy returned to sympathy, she was not stunned, she couldn't jump up to fight the injustice for Aunt Yun, and scolded Gu Xiran as liking the new and disgusting the old!

   What's new? Didn’t you get cold water just now?

   Speaking seriously, she has definitely lost more face in the past two days than Aunt Yun, but she has a thicker skin, so she forgot after the embarrassment and won't take it to heart.

   Auntie Yun is definitely a thin-skinned woman, she cries in her words when she speaks, and she lowers her head and says: "Yanniang has some discomfort, so let's retire first."

   After finishing, she neglected the usual rules, and before Gu Xiran agreed, she hurriedly turned around and went out.

   Qiaoyun and Xiangqian saw that the atmosphere was not right, and they both found an excuse to avoid it. Only Gu Xiran was still in a calm and clear appearance, as if Aunt Yun was sad, and it had nothing to do with him.

   Shu Huan glanced at him and couldn't help but mutter: "Negative!"

   Gu Xiran raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

   "Even if she is just a concubine, she has taken care of you for a year at any rate. You treat her like this, right?"

   Gu Xiran's eyes flashed with a smile: "Unexpectedly, I would also marry a wife who knows the righteousness, goodness and goodness, and will fight for the concubine."

   is this a mockery, right?

  Xianliang Shude, none of these four words fit her!

   She sympathizes with Aunt Yun, because she didn’t treat Gu Xiran as her husband at all. As for this Gu family, she didn’t want to stay long~IndoMTL.com~ I just waited to find out the situation here and thought of a way to make a living. I'm going to get out. Being on the outside, she would naturally not regard Aunt Yun as a lover threatening her position. This is not the same as the ancient women's lack of jealousy!

   It’s just that the reason can’t be explained clearly, so she had to admit it thickly: "If you don’t accept a concubine, then forget it. Now that you accept it, you should treat them better."

   "Then I almost treated you?"

   Shuhuan choked and retorted: "Are you treating me well now?"

  "Not good enough?"

  ……

   The topic seems to be turning in an ambiguous direction.

   Shu Huan used his assassin, stood up, walked out and said: "Didn't you say it!"

   Gu Xiran didn't stop her, but said slowly: "Stupid! I have to speak for someone after being sold."

  Hey? Shu Huan turned her head suddenly: "What do you mean?"

   Gu Xiran lowered his head to drink tea, and said for a while: "Qiaoyun is the maid in my room. Xiangqian always follows her. Get up early to get the bird's nest. Why doesn't she let Xiangqian go?"

   Because Qiaoyun didn't put the door on his mouth, he could say anything without hesitation?

   Shu Huan remembered the conversation between the two maids in front of the penthouse before the fire last night. Her heart jumped, but she still didn’t believe that Aunt Yun’s kind of woman who looked extremely gentle and quiet would also make her scheming and could not help but argue for her: "Maybe Xiangqian was busy with other things at the time, only Qiaoyun was free!"

  "Really?" Gu Xiran smiled: "Qiaoyun is not a diligent person. It was midnight last night, I'm afraid I was still sleeping early in the morning! Other things, think about it yourself."

   After he said this, he seemed to be tired, he only closed his eyes, closed his eyes and rested, and stopped talking.

   Shu Huan thought and thought about it in place, but finally sighed helplessly.
