Lin Qiuer told her plan with a smile, and Gu Anqing listened and nodded, occasionally adding some suggestions. The communication between the two was like a harmonious picture, full of joy.

The brothers Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue who were sitting on the side couldn't get a word in. Time passed by minute by minute, and Lin Nanyue couldn't sit still anymore. His eyes wandered around the living room and finally stopped outside the door.

Chang Qing was observing from the side, mistakenly thinking that he was absent-minded because he was hungry, so he quietly walked out of the reception room. A moment later, he came in with the servants who brought the dishes and placed the dishes on the table quietly and lightly.

This time, the portion of each dish was obviously much larger than before.

The meal lasted nearly an hour.

After the meal, Lin Qiuer and the other two were led by the servants to the courtyard prepared for them. Before leaving, Lin Qiuer gave Gu Anqing another detoxification pill out of kindness.

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto Lin Qiuer's face. She stretched out on the bed, and after a while she got up and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, servants carrying toiletries filed in. After she finished washing, another servant led the way and took her to breakfast.

When she went out, Lin Qiu'er glanced at the door next door and found that Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue's rooms were still closed. She couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Are the third and fourth brothers still not awake?"

"Miss Lin, the two Young Masters Lin have already gotten up and used the chisel to chisel the mountain." The servant who led the way answered from the side.

Only then did Lin Qiuer realize that she had overslept, but she didn't take it to heart.

After coming here, she was determined to realize the dream that she could not realize in her previous life - sleeping until she wakes up naturally.

After eating Zaoshan, Lin Qiuer planned to take a walk to the courtyard where Old Master Gu lived. She could also take this opportunity to digest the food.

Led by the servants, Lin Qiuer walked lightly through the courtyard of the Gu Mansion.

Different from the small bridges, flowing water, courtyards and pavilions seen in previous lives, this place presents a simple and plain beauty.

The stone-paved path is winding and can accommodate two people walking side by side.

In the center of the courtyard where we stayed last night, there was a set of round stone tables and three stone chairs, which looked quaint and comfortable.

The courtyard next door has three large trees with lush branches and leaves intertwined with each other. Beyond that is a stone rockery with a small pond underneath, in which a few red fish are swimming happily in the clear water.

The servant pointed to a courtyard not far away and said, "That's the courtyard where the old master lives. Don't get close without orders." She looked a little worried, as if she was worried that Lin Qiuer would offend Old Master Gu and bring implicate herself.

Lin Qiuer looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the wall of that courtyard was higher than all the courtyards she had passed by before, and there were servants guarding the door with tall figures. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the courtyard was heavily guarded.

In order to comfort the servants, Lin Qiuer smiled and said, "I will just walk around here and won't go near your old master's courtyard." She wanted to get closer to A Tao, so she asked, "What's your name?"

Ah Tao smiled, took Lin Qiu'er in another direction, and replied softly: "My name is Ah Tao."

Suddenly, Lin Qiuer noticed a suspicious figure not far away, running towards this side in a panic with something in his hand.

Because Lin Qiu'er and A Tao were in a relatively hidden location, the figure didn't notice their presence at all. So, she saw the figure hurriedly run past them not far in front of them and disappeared from sight.

"Atao, do you know that person?" Lin Qiuer asked in a low voice, looking ahead curiously.

A Tao frowned and thought seriously, "It looks like someone from the kitchen, but I really don't know his name."

Lin Qiu'er decided to follow this man to see what he was doing. She followed him quietly, and Ah Tao could only follow her helplessly.

The man poured the things in his hand into a jar, and then frantically poked the jar with a stick. His movements looked a bit clumsy, as if he was trying to kill something.

Lin Qiuer walked behind the man curiously and tiptoed carefully to look into the tank.

She found a black worm inside, with mucus on its body, crawling very fast. It looked a bit like a leech full of blood, but it crawled faster. She observed for a moment and found that although the man had been poking with the stick for a long time, most of the movements did not hit the worm.

"You can't kill it like this." Lin Qiu'er couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Although the man made a lot of moves, they were really useless. She couldn't help but reach out and grab the stick from the man's hand, aiming at the worm, and nailed it to the bottom of the tank with one hit.

With a "crack" sound, fine cracks appeared on the originally thick cylinder wall.

The man was so frightened that he pointed at Lin Qiuer, his mouth trembling but unable to utter a complete sentence, "You, you, you..."

Lin Qiuer stuffed the stick in her hand back to him. The feeling of piercing the slimy insect just now made her feel nauseous, and her body trembled involuntarily a few times.

"Oh, this is so disgusting, so disgusting!" Lin Qiu'er complained, shaking her arms violently, trying to dispel the nausea. Her exaggerated movements shocked the two servants of the Gu family, who had been strictly taught etiquette by the housekeeper since childhood, and they stood there in shock, unable to react.

When the feeling of nausea gradually dissipated, Lin Qiuer curiously leaned over to look at the bugs at the bottom of the tank.

Although it still made her feel sick, the strange feeling of it sticking to her body had disappeared. She observed it for a moment, then asked, "This thing is poisonous. Where did you get it from?"

When the servant heard the question, he immediately shut his mouth tightly and wanted to run away. How could Lin Qiu'er let him do what he wanted? She reached out and grabbed his collar and hung him in the air, making him stick out his tongue because of the discomfort caused by the collar strangling his neck.

"Do you still dare to run?" Lin Qiuer asked in a gentle tone.

The servant was so frightened that he waved his hands, indicating that he dared not run away.

Seeing how obedient he was, Lin Qiu'er threw him to the ground and continued to ask, "Okay, tell me, where did you get this ugly thing? This thing is poisonous. If you don't tell me where you got it from, I will tell Master Gu Anqing that you poisoned his grandfather."

The servant was coughing because he was being strangled. When he heard the false accusation, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "You are wrongly accusing me!"

"Whether it's unjust or not is not up to you to decide. What I said is very likely to be true." Lin Qiu'er continued to threaten, "Guess, if Master Gu knew that it was you who caused his grandfather to be poisoned and suffer for so long, would he pull out your tendons, skin you, boil your meat and feed it to pigs, and break your bones and feed them to dogs?"

A Tao, who was standing aside, imagined the scene that Lin Qiuer described. He was so scared that tears immediately came down and he cried out "woooo woooo".

"Let's talk about your family. Will they be implicated because of you? First they will be locked up and beaten, and then all the favors will be taken back. The men will be sold to government-run houses as slaves, and the women will be sold to brothels to entertain customers. They will receive customers non-stop every day until they die of exhaustion." Lin Qiuer became more and more excited as she spoke.

She didn't notice at all that the two servants who grew up in the Gu Mansion and were timid to begin with had been frightened by her words to the point that their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and their teeth chattered.
