Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Yuanyuanman had already stepped back, her eyes fixed on the two hands clasped together.

It was the first time they saw their daughter being touched by a man from another family.

But the two maids chose to remain silent, watching the outcome with happiness on their faces.

Nanxing watched from the side, blinked a few times, smiled silently, and his big white teeth were involuntarily revealed.

Gu Shaoyu glanced at him and Nanxing quickly lowered his head.

The old iron tree in his house looks stunning when it blooms!

Xie Zhaozhao got off the carriage and the two separated their hands.

Gu Shaoyu put his hands behind his back and gently twisted his thumb and index finger. His hands suddenly felt empty and he felt a little lost.

Looking at Xie Zhaozhao's delicate spring outfit today, which is very different from her usual dignified look, she looks lively and smart, and particularly beautiful.

He would steal a glance at her from time to time.

"A few days ago, I asked someone to clean up the island. You can go and take a look. If you don't like it, you can rearrange it."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and nodded.

The last time she met him in a teahouse, she said that the environment here was nice. When he was touring Jiangnan, he actually wanted to ask someone to clean up this place. Was this for her?

The two walked side by side towards the island in the middle of the lake, with Yuanyuanmanman and Nanxing following far behind.

"There were some setbacks during my trip to the south. I came back late, and I'm sorry to have worried you."

Gu Shaoyu originally wanted to say that he was sorry for making the young lady worry, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it would be more intimate to call each other "you and I".

According to Xie Zhaozhao's previous habit, she would definitely say some polite words, but now she doesn't want to say those empty words.

"I am indeed very worried. When I saw you didn't come yesterday, I was really anxious."

"I just came back from the south early yesterday morning, and I have something to present to Your Majesty immediately, so I went into the palace first.

When I arrived at the palace, I found out that His Majesty had asked the Marquis's Mansion for a list of my betrothal gifts a few days ago, added some more, and sent the Imperial Guards and the Thousand Bull Guards to propose on my behalf.

After handing over the things, I thanked him again, and it took quite some time to go back and forth. "

He returned to the capital yesterday, and while instructing Nanxing to open his private vault and take out the betrothal gifts according to the list he had written, he hurried to the palace.

He is really busy.

However, he said that he had asked Living Buddha Yuanji to calculate the time for the engagement in advance, and that the first quarter of noon was the most auspicious time, when the sun was at its highest, the warmest and most righteous.

It was the first time that Xie Zhaozhao heard such a statement, but the time chosen by Living Buddha Yuanji must be the best.

Yesterday she was extremely worried and was bullied by Xie Xiangxiang and the Xu family. Until His Majesty gave him such a heavy betrothal gift, he came to the mansion in person and slapped the Xu family in the face. He finally let out a lot of anger.

In the final analysis, it was Lord Gu who gave her great respect.

She was very grateful and touched.

Gu Shaoyu was observing people's expressions while he was talking. He was not frivolous, but very sincere. Xie Zhaozhao truly felt his great charm in dealing with people.

Just one word: comfortable!

The garden on this side of Yuehu Lake is very large, with apricot trees, cherry trees, and several pear trees.

The rest of the place is filled with various flower gardens.

The lake water is rippling and sparkling, and the fish are spitting bubbles from time to time.

They talked, looked at the scenery, smelled the fragrance of flowers and plants in the air, and went to the island in the middle of the lake by the winding path.

There is a small bridge on the island in the middle of the lake leading to the entire Moon Lake Garden. Walking across the bridge is the Moon Gate, the only gate on the island that connects to the outside world.

Inside the Moon Gate is a completely different world.

What comes into view is a small and exquisite pavilion connected to a corridor. Outside the corridor are rocks built in accordance with the terrain. The winding paths lead to secluded places and the scenery changes with every step.

A clear pond, pavilions, ancient trees and famous flowers complement each other between movement and stillness, creating an endless artistic conception. The goldfish playing in the water are lively and vivid.

At the end of the corridor is a building-like gatehouse with flying eaves and ridges. There are several exquisite rooms on the left and right, including a tea room, a calligraphy and painting room, and a piano room.

The second courtyard is the reception room, where flowers of the four seasons (magnolia, bamboo, osmanthus fragrans, wintersweet) are planted, and in the middle there is an art piece of landscape made of vines embracing rocks.

The last yard is a place for rest.

Xie Zhaozhao always has an indescribable sense of familiarity.

Come to think of it, she had never been here in her past life or this life.

Behind it was a small garden and a wall five or six people high, completely blocking the view from outside.

The entire island is an exquisite garden, elegant and exquisite.

Seeing that she was looking at the back yard, Gu Shaoyu took the lead calmly, pushed open the cave door, and led her into the yard.

The pink wall is the background and the green bamboo is the brush, forming a picture of "pink wall and bamboo shadows". When the breeze blows, the bamboo shadows sway.

There was a swing in the yard, with purple flowers falling down, turning the swing into a pale purple.

It was exactly like her yard except for the swing set.

"How did you become like this?"

She was very surprised and very happy.

"I asked my eldest brother, and he gave me the blueprint. But I don't know your boudoir, so I'll leave it to you to decorate it the way you like."

The big brother he mentioned was Xie Yu. He specially decorated this yard to look like her boudoir, making her feel like she was home.

Xie Zhaozhao was really moved at this moment. Her eyelashes trembled slightly and she said, "Thank you, Lord."

She was hurt so badly in her previous life that when she woke up, it was the day when she would exchange engagement letters with Gu Chengyan again. Her heart was broken and she no longer had the same expectations for marriage as she had when she was young.

Feelings are such a luxury.

But now she was sincerely grateful and had a good impression of him.

Gu Shaoyu said: "Why are you thanking me? Actually, I want to thank you. If you hadn't told me that information, I would be in Jiangnan and might not be able to come back this time."

"Huh?" Do they really dare?

"Just as you said, they did find bandits, and they took action on the day I investigated the case."

Seeing Xie Zhaozhao's expression change, he hurriedly said, "I have made all the necessary preparations and am just waiting for them to come out. If they don't come out, I can't do anything."

This time the action was thorough and all the officials in Jiangnan were cleansed.

As for the capital, they directly targeted the prince's party.

However, he only reported matters concerning the crown prince to His Majesty and told no one else. On the surface, no one in the capital was implicated.

He handed her a bunch of keys: "Here are the keys to you. If you want to come here to enjoy it, or invite friends to come, it's up to you."

This place is hers from now on, and she can arrange it however she wants.

Xie Zhaozhao took it, still carrying his body temperature. That warmth made her ears turn red again.

"There's a racecourse and an amusement park in front. See if anything is missing and I'll ask someone to fill it in later."

In other words, the entire northern half of the Yuehu Scenic Area belongs to him?

What an honor this is!

But she is narrow-minded and doesn't want to share it with certain people.

"Is this property part of the Marquis's Mansion? Do the people in the Marquis's Mansion know about this?"
