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

Gu Ruoxi had no idea what had happened at home. In the carriage, she asked Jiu Huan, and Jiu Huan told her all the news he had just received.

Gu Ruoxi was dumbfounded when she heard this. Nangong Jiao, that proud little girl, how could she be so brainless when doing things?

Not to mention her, even Gu Ruoxi understood it. The Marquis asked her to distribute porridge as well, which gave her a great opportunity.

If she seizes this opportunity, her position as the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion will be secure.

However, she only saw the little bit of profit in front of her. This was all the result of her mother's teaching.

Gu Ruoxi was speechless. Jiuxi, who usually didn't talk much, said something:

"Madam, when you return home, you still have to pay attention to Aunt Zhou."

Aunt Zhou?

Gu Ruoxi still remembered that woman. After the Marquis's wife took over the household, Aunt Zhou came to pay her respects. Later, the Marquis's wife said that there was no need to pay respects anymore.

Aunt Zhou was dressed simply and plainly at the time, and looked quiet and a little timid.

Gu Ruoxi didn't understand for a moment. Why should I be careful of Aunt Zhou?

Jiu Huan stayed with Gu Ruoxi for a longer time. She noticed that the young lady didn't understand what she meant, so she whispered:

"The Marquis has brought Concubine Zhou with him. As a concubine, she should only live in the courtyard provided for concubines in the backyard, but now Concubine Zhou lives with the Marquis."

"We don't have a mistress in our mansion now."

Gu Ruoxi felt like she understood a little:

"You mean she might become the Marquis's wife?"

The two girls shook their heads:

"Impossible. The Marquis can't let her be his wife no matter what. She is just a maid."

"That……"

Gu Ruoxi didn't understand what she should be on guard against. Wasn't Concubine Zhou the Marquis's woman? Now that the Marquis's wife was gone, Xiao Zhu could hardly serve the Marquis. Then wasn't it natural for the Marquis to have Concubine Zhou?

Gu Ruoxi paused for a moment, and suddenly understood:

"You mean, there's a chance she'll become someone like Xiao Zhuo?"

The two girls then nodded.

Although the rear house is now managed by Gu Ruoxi, if Aunt Zhou is always by the side of the Marquis, some things will not be so easy for Gu Ruoxi to manage.

Of course, if she is really well-behaved and sensible and doesn't stand out, then it would be fine.

Although the two girls were only trained to be secret guards, they had been in the mansion for a long time and understood some things.

Gu Ruoxi sighed:

"It would be great if Jinzhi and I could live separately like mother."

That would be so comfortable.

Now, look at my two mothers, they both have their own yards and live their own lives. They don’t have to worry about housework at all and can sleep until they wake up naturally.

When the carriage returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Steward Zhou had finished distributing the porridge and returned to his work.

He has been running thin these days. And the mess that the eldest lady caused has to be dealt with one by one in the end. Don't underestimate those refugees. It is right to help them, but if they explode, they are in the same group.

When one person was bullied, they all united.

If a refugee riot occurs in the capital, no matter how many people die, the cause of the incident will be attributed to Nangong Marquis Mansion.

Therefore, the Marquis handled the matter personally, and fortunately, the child's burns were treated in time.

Moreover, the Marquis also asked Lai Fu to invite Doctor Yang as well.

Even the eldest lady's injury was treated by an ordinary doctor. After the child was brought to the Marquis' Mansion, it was Doctor Yang who treated him.

Fortunately, the weather was cold, so I only got some burns on my back and the left side of my face. The rest of my body was just red and had some bubbling.

So, when Butler Zhou found out, he punished the manager there as well.

The method adopted by Nangong Marquis' Mansion also prevented the families who were distributing porridge together from gossiping, and the aftermath was handled very well. However, the behavior of the eldest daughter of Nangong Mansion became gossip among the refugees for a while.

Gu Ruoxi's carriage entered the Marquis' Mansion and she got off at the second gate. After thinking for a while, Gu Ruoxi decided to go to the front yard to meet the Marquis first.

Butler Zhou came to meet us at the gate of the study:

"Meet the young lady."

Gu Ruoxi smiled and said:

"Butler Zhou has been very tired recently and has lost weight. Jiuhuan, remember to send something to Butler Zhou later."

"Yes!"

He didn't say what the reward was, but just said he would send something over. Butler Zhou still smiled and thanked him:

"Thank you for the reward, Madam. These are what I should do."

"Is the Marquis here? I'll go and pay my respects to him."

"Yes, Aunt Zhou is here too."

Butler Zhou mentioned this.

Gu Ruoxi nodded.

Gu Ruoxi took Jiu Huan and Jiu Xi into the courtyard of the study. Lai Fu, who was standing at the door of the study, saw them and hurriedly replied:

"My Lord, the young mistress is back. She is here."

The Marquis looked up and saw Gu Ruoxi walking towards him.

This daughter-in-law left home in the middle of the night and was gone for more than ten days without bringing back any news. Now she is back.

The Marquis was a little unhappy.

"Ruoxi has met the Marquis."

Gu Ruoxi saluted the Marquis, and Nangong Su snorted and said:

"You've been gone for more than ten days. Do you still want this family?"

"My Lord, the Shu family is having some troubles. My master is staying up all night to watch over Master Shu, so I can't leave. So, I've been staying by his side to help him."

"Later, they said that the prince was ill and also wanted Master to give him acupuncture. Master wanted to take me to see more, so I followed him again."

The Marquis said unhappily:

"So now that you're back, how is Master Shu doing?"

"He hasn't woken up yet, but he's not dead. The prince has only managed to control his condition, but it's not good overall."

The Marquis hummed, and Gu Ruoxi said:

"My Lord, the Third Princess has adopted me as her adopted daughter."

This matter still needs to be discussed, as this person is the elder of the family.

Aunt Zhou, who was standing on the side, glanced at Gu Ruoxi and lowered her head again. The Marquis was also a little surprised:

"why?"

"It was because Master revived the prince. Didn't he say that the prince's illness was related to some flowers and trees? Jin Zhi asked Mo Yi to come back and move some flowers and trees in our mansion."

"The Third Princess was very touched. The Crown Prince has regained consciousness. The Third Princess adopted me as her adopted daughter."

The Marquis knew that Mo Yi had come back and taken away a cart of flowers and trees. At that time, he thought that he was taking them to Xie Qingrou, thinking that she had just moved to a new home, and that Old Man Xie was here. These pretentious people all pay attention to these things.

But unexpectedly, it was transported to the Third Prince's Palace to save the prince.

"What are these flowers and trees for?"

"I don't know, but the prince will be in better health among the flowers and trees anyway."

This is the truth. Gu Ruoxi connected the spiritual energy of the spiritual tree that had originally withered in the Third Prince's Mansion to the spiritual tree that she planted. The spiritual tree has some vitality again. Gu Ruoxi asked the prince to polish the spiritual wood and then wear it as a wooden plaque on his body to slowly nourish his body.
