The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

After Gu Ruoxi entered the Marquis' Mansion, she actually didn't take a good look around the mansion.

She brought Jiu Huan, Qing Yu and Qing Qiu out and looked back at them:

"Where to go?"

Qingqiu was holding two boxes of cakes in her hands and said with a smile:

"Then please follow me, Madam."

Qingqiu walked in front, Gu Ruoxi followed behind her, Jiuhuan took half a step back and followed behind Gu Ruoxi, and Qingyu walked at the end.

Along the way, Gu Ruoxi realized that the Marquis' Mansion had more than just Wutong Courtyard, Chaohui Courtyard and Jing'an Hall. They came out of Wutong Courtyard and walked along the corridor to the back of Jing'an Hall, where there was a small garden and a lake of neither big nor small.

There are still some fish playing in the lake. Just looking at the moss on the rocks by the lake, you can tell that the small pond behind is rarely visited.

In Gu Ruoxi's previous life's memory, she and Shu Yuhe also lived behind a small lake in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

There were a few lush trees over there, so no one had ever thought that there was an abandoned small yard behind the trees, where a mother and daughter lived.

Thinking of this, Gu Ruoxi subconsciously looked around the pond. As expected, she saw a house on the other side of the pond.

"Qingqiu, who lives in that yard over there?"

Qingqiu hissed and said:

"Madam, the old courtyard over there is full of concubines. Do you see the courtyard behind the small pond? There lives an old concubine there. She was the maid who accompanied the old marquis when he was alive. Later, before the old marquis died, he made her his concubine."

Then she asked to live in that shabby yard and practiced Buddhism there with her hair uncut.

what?

Isn't it only in temples that people can practice Buddhism with their hair uncut?

"Madam, over there, at the end of the long corridor, there are also several small courtyards. The Marquis's concubine lives in them."

Wow, tsk tsk tsk, men in this era live such a wonderful life, with a wife on the left, a concubine on the right, and some concubines. But the arms are only so big, can you hold them all?

But think about the original body’s mother, she wasn’t even an aunt.

Just thinking about it makes me feel that the original body and her mother lived a very depressed life.

Gu Ruoxi felt that these two mothers had some similarities in that they were both people who could let go.

Shu Yuhe knew that she would not get the attention of the Marquis, so she lived there quietly and gave birth to and raised her daughter quietly.

After Xie Qingrou lost her heart to the Marquis, she began to separate herself from the Marquis's mansion. She really lived there like a country of her own and didn't take the Marquis seriously at all.

But I don't know what she wants to say to the Marquis after she called me away.

Gu Ruoxi didn't want to investigate their affairs secretly, so she just followed Qingqiu through twists and turns to the back of the west courtyard, and then arrived at the back door.

After walking around, I found that this mansion is really huge.

When they arrived at the back door, there was a maid guarding the back door. Qingyu later told Gu Ruoxi that the maid guarding the back door was Zhu. Everyone called her Nanny Zhu, and she was also the prince's person.

Gu Ruoxi felt a little creepy about the fact that in a family, there were distinctions between which servant belonged to which master.

The people around you may not be yours, and may be serving their masters behind your back.

For example, the ones around him now, Jiuhuan is Nangong Yu's man, Qingyu and Qingqiu are Madam Hou's men.

In their yard, Gu Ruoxi could clearly feel that Nangong Yu preferred to ask Jiuhuan to do things instead of Qingqiu.

But Qingqiu knows how to look at things and does not miss anything that needs to be done.

What Jiuhuan does is more important, while what Qingqiu does is the real daily care of people.

Gu Ruoxi sighed slightly. In this life, she had no one but herself. Even the mother she was about to meet might not be hers.

It was not far from the Shu Mansion after exiting the back door, and I didn't meet anyone along the way.

A servant who stayed in the Shu Mansion opened the door and saw that it was Gu Ruoxi who came. The servant also smiled and said:

"Miss is back."

Gu Ruoxi smiled, but Qingqiu took out a few copper coins from her sleeve and gave them to the servant, who quickly thanked the lady for the reward.

This is what Gu Ruoxi learned again.

She walked into the house and found that almost no one lived in the outer courtyard, so she went directly to the inner courtyard and met her mother Shu Yuhe.

Shu Yuhe has been very comfortable being served these days.

I was not used to it at the beginning, because I have always been doing my own things, and I had to learn to serve others. Now suddenly someone is serving me, and I am really not used to it.

When Aunt Ying saw Gu Ruoxi and her group, she stepped forward and saluted:

"Miss is back. Madam is just preparing to eat. Has Miss eaten yet?"

Gu Ruoxi was somewhat fond of this Ying Gu, who seemed to be very capable. She had also heard from Nangong Yu that Ying Gu knew a little martial arts, and it was said that her family ran an escort agency when she was a child.

It was also after Nangong Yu explained the term "escort agency" that Gu Ruoxi understood that it was a security company that specialized in protecting other people or the property entrusted by others, but it also had to deliver the property at the same time.

"We haven't eaten yet. We wanted to come earlier, but something delayed us. It's okay. Just look at what's in the kitchen and make something to eat."

Gu Ruoxi wasn't really hungry, since she had to eat some pastries in Wutong Courtyard anyway.

When I went in, I saw Shu Yuhe had just stood up and was about to eat.

"mother."

"Nanny"

Shu Yuhe was being taken care of again, but she was still panicking in her heart. She had depended on her daughter for more than ten years, and now they were separated. She was always worried about her daughter. Although she knew that the child was living well over there, she still wondered if the child would suffer.

Although the days with her were suffering, in Shu Yuhe's opinion, not being with her mother was suffering.

Shu Yuhe was not very knowledgeable and was born a maid herself, but she loved her daughter as much as any other mother.

"Nannan seems to have gained some weight and gained some flesh."

As soon as he saw his daughter, he happily grabbed her hand and started pinching it here and looking there.

Gu Ruoxi understood that her mother was thinking about her and was worried about her.

Gu Ruoxi even turned around deliberately:

"You've gained weight, haven't you? My mother-in-law gives me delicious food every day. Mom, I'm doing well now. Don't worry about me. Take good care of yourself. Look, I told you I could come visit you from time to time. I'm here now."

She was naturally happy to see her daughter, but Shu Yuhe still reached out and patted her daughter's hand and said:

"Silly girl, when you get married, you should serve your parents-in-law and a good man first. Don't always think about mom. Mom is fine. Aunt Ying and the others take good care of mom. Look, not only you have grown fat, mom has grown too."

Gu Ruoxi wanted to make her mother happy, so she reached out and gently pinched her mother's face, and also imitated her by pinching her arm:

"Well, I really have to thank Aunt Ying. You have indeed gained weight."

Aunt Ying smiled and said:

"Miss, please don't say that. It is my blessing to work for Madam. I have met a good master."
