After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

The next day, Gu Baozhu went to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion according to the schedule of the previous day, and went to see Su with Gu Rou.

Marquis Yongchang had just left office and was waiting to have lunch with Su.

There was no expression on Su's face. She glanced at the man next to her quietly, and immediately looked away when she touched the beard on his chin.

This beard looks disgusting.

The two of them were silent. Su curled her lips and asked, "The Ministry of War doesn't have a kitchen?"

Marquis Yongchang also served as the Minister of War. When he led his troops to fight, the affairs of the Ministry of War were taken over by Vice Minister Xue.

Yongchang Hou was flattered and said, "Yes, don't worry, I won't starve myself."

Su: "..."

Well... she wasn't worried.

She just wanted to say that since there was a kitchen, couldn't they eat in the Ministry of War? It would be best if they could live there.

The two of them were silent again. Su was just thinking about whether to call Gu Jin over when she heard the maid come and report, "Madam, the eldest young lady and Madam Bai want to see you."

"Please come in, please come in!" Su looked like she couldn't wait to see the two of them.

Marquis Yongchang looked puzzled. When did she and Gu Rou become so close?

After greeting the two, Gu Baozhu said apologetically, "I didn't know the Marquis was here too. We are sorry to bother you by coming here without any prior notice."

Marquis Yongchang didn't say anything, but he was not very happy in his heart.

Since you know you're disturbing me, just go away!

"Don't bother me, don't bother me. You've come just in time!" Su said in a cheerful tone.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Su said hurriedly, "I mean, the kitchen is preparing lunch, you can sit down and eat together."

Then he turned to the Marquis of Yongchang and said, "Since guests have arrived, why don't you go to the study or stay with Aunt Xu?"

Marquis Yongchang frowned, he didn't want to go anywhere.

Gu Baozhu hurriedly said, "Madam, this is not allowed.

I am already very embarrassed to come and disturb you, how can I chase you away?

I am the aunt of Rou'er and Jin'er, and we are family, so let's not talk about these empty formalities, how about that?"

"That's right, since we are family, there is no need to be polite." Marquis Yongchang sat steadily, with no intention of getting up.

Gu Baozhu curled the corners of her lips.

Seeing this, Su Shi couldn't chase them away anymore, so she could only tell her maid, "Go and invite the Third Young Madam as well."

When Gu Jin came and saw the people at the table, he was stunned for a moment. He always felt that there was something indescribable weirdness, but he still sat down next to Su.

The maid brought the food up, and Gu Baozhu stood up and opened the food box she had brought with her, smiling gently, "I specially made some snacks for Madam today, you and the Marquis can have a taste of my cooking."

"Mrs. Bai is so thoughtful." Su didn't expect Gu Baozhu to be so polite, and hurriedly thanked her.

Gu Jin narrowed his eyes, something was wrong!

"Thanks to you, ma'am, for taking care of my two children. This little token of my appreciation is nothing more than a token of my appreciation." Gu Baozhu no longer looked as sharp and mean as before, but instead had the gentleness of a Jiangnan beauty.

Su ate a piece of lotus cake, her eyes lit up, "This lotus cake is really well made, and tastes exactly the same as the one I had in Jiangnan before."

Su once lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and still misses the local snacks.

Seeing that Su liked it, Marquis Yongchang also took a bite.

But this lotus pastry was too sweet for him and he couldn't get used to it.

It was obvious that Su liked it very much, so he ate the remaining lotus crisps in one gulp and said, "It's really good."

Seeing that Yongchang Hou liked it, Gu Baozhu smiled even more and said hurriedly, "I usually like to make these snacks. If Madam likes it, I will make more in the future."

"Okay. Anyway, Jin'er is in charge of the mansion, and I have nothing to do when I'm idle. Madam Bai can come and visit often if you are free." On the one hand, she was happy to have a companion of the same age, and on the other hand, it saved her from having someone always hanging around in front of her.

Gu Baozhu's eyes were filled with smiles and she agreed happily.

It seems that Rou'er was right. This Su family member really doesn't have much brains.

But this is just right!

Gu Jin counted silently in his heart. During the meal, Gu Baozhu spoke thirty-two times. Su responded with a few words and Marquis Yongchang replied with a few words. If you didn't know, you would think that Gu Baozhu was the host of this meal.

Gu Jin was a little confused about Gu Baozhu's intention. She was a profit-driven person and must want to get something from the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, but Gu Jin couldn't think of it for the moment. Anyway, it couldn't be that she had her eyes on the Yongchang Marquis!

Gu Baozhu went to the Yongchang Marquis's mansion every few days, either accompanying Su shopping or accompanying her to listen to music and watch plays. As a result, the Yongchang Marquis could not see Su every time he returned home, and the couple could only go to pick her up in person to see her.

Gu Baozhu also noticed that Su was very cold towards Marquis Yongchang, so she tried her best to show her gentleness and consideration, causing Marquis Yongchang to pay more and more attention to her.

Gu Rou was not happy at heart, so she went to find Gu Baozhu and said unhappily, "Aunt clearly said she would help me, but why are you getting closer and closer to Su? You've almost become close friends who can talk about anything!"

"Silly child, I'm doing this for you!"

Gu Rou was puzzled.

Gu Baozhu raised the corners of her lips. She was still beautiful as always due to her good maintenance, and even had a bit more of the gentleness and charm that a young girl didn't have.

"Rou'er, do you know the gap between you and Gu Jin?"

Gu Rou frowned. How could she be worse than Gu Jin?

Gu Baozhu smiled knowingly and said slowly, "Just because Su is Gu Jin's biological mother-in-law, you can't possibly defeat her in the mansion, unless there is someone closest to you in the backyard of Yongchang Marquis..."
