Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Lu Rui was very frightened and felt that what he was experiencing was like a dream. He also heard that the four courtyards of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum were only for the husband of the young master to live in. He was just a lowly slave, how could he be worthy of them?

"No, you can stay here if I tell you to." Gu Qingyuan's tone did not allow for refusal.

"The young master has been so good to me. I really can't afford it. I don't know how to repay him." Lu Rui's voice sounded a little trembling, and his body seemed to start shaking as well.

Gu Qingyuan sighed and comforted him, "Lu Rui, you don't have to be so timid. You have to believe that you deserve the best."

Lu Rui's eyes were moist. No one had ever said these words to him before. When he was little, he heard the most at home, "Why did I give birth to a loser like you? Why don't you just die?"

Gu Qingyuan discovered that the men in this world really loved to cry. They started crying before she even said a few words, making her feel like she was bullying them.

"Okay, stop crying. If others see you, they'll think I'm bullying you."

Lu Rui raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears and nodded, "Okay, I won't cry and won't let them misunderstand the young master."

Gu Qingyuan held up his face and pulled the flesh on his face to make him force a smile. Then he said with satisfaction: "That's just right. It's better to smile more."

Lu Rui remembered what she said. She said she looked pretty when she smiled.

After comforting Lu Rui, Gu Qingyuan left. On the way, she met Wen Shubai, who was holding some embroidery in his hands. His face changed when he saw Gu Qingyuan coming out of Lu Rui's room. The servant beside Wen Shubai saluted Gu Qingyuan when he saw her.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Qingyuan asked curiously.

The servant next to Wen Shubai was outspoken and answered before Wen Shubai: "Our master embroidered a few purses and wanted to send them to the young master."

"Oh? For me?" Gu Qingyuan instantly became interested and stretched out her hand towards Wen Shubai.

"Since you've come across it, just give it to me now so you don't have to make another trip."

Wen Shubai hid the thing in his hand behind his back and said, "Who said I was going to give it to you? I was just out for a walk."

Okay, since it’s not for her, she doesn’t want it. Gu Qingyuan withdrew her hand without feeling embarrassed at all.

She walked around the two of them without looking back and left. The servant next to Wen Shubai was so anxious that his feet were about to break. He asked, "Master, why don't you give it to the young master? Her heart is not with you now. She is sending servants to Ji Concubine and raising this lowly slave she brought back from outside. If you don't win her heart quickly..."

Wen Shubai watched her back disappear from his sight, pursed his lips, and felt that she seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

Afterwards, he looked at the anxious servant and scolded him, "Stop talking too much! Who told you to say that I was going to give this purse to her?"

"Who is the master going to give it to? Could it be..."

The servant was suddenly hit hard on the head. He looked at Wen Shubai with grievance and heard him say, "I'll keep it for myself."

He couldn't explain why he was so angry, but he always felt a little depressed.

……

Gu Qingyuan returned to his yard.

She didn't take what just happened to heart at all. She also knew that Wen Shubai didn't like her, otherwise he wouldn't threaten her. Anyway, she just wanted to go through the motions with Wen Shubai and just save face.

Hanging herself for a tree wasn't her style.

She had Orchid Garden cleaned up and prepared it for Lu Rui to live in. There was still one Ju Garden left vacant, and she thought that sooner or later she would arrange for someone to live in Ju Garden as well.

Gu Qingyuan returned to his yard, took out a rusty sword, and raised it tremblingly.

There is no need to say much about the weight of the sword made of pure iron. Since she is the daughter of a general, she cannot let others look down on her. Gu Qingyuan plans to practice martial arts well, not only to protect herself, but also to protect the people she wants to protect.

Chunfen saw Gu Qingyuan dancing with a sword in the yard, and went to report to General Gu with tears in his eyes.

Their young master finally posted a picture of anger on the wall! Oh, no, it should be said that he was working hard to become stronger...

Gu Qingyuan didn't notice that Chunfen had slipped away at some point. She only knew that after holding the sword for a while, her arm felt a little sore.

At noon, General Gu specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes for Gu Qingyuan. Gu Qingyuan was happily gnawing on the chicken leg in his left hand and the duck leg in his right hand.

After dinner, a servant came over and said to her, "Young Master, our master wants you to come over."

Gu Qingyuan remembered that the slave in front of her was the one she had bought before, so the master he was talking about was Ji Mingzhao. She nodded and said, "I'll go with you right away."

Following him to the bamboo garden, Gu Qingyuan saw Ji Mingzhao sitting in the bamboo forest with a flute in his hand. She heard the pleasant sound of the flute and stood there listening for a while before going over.

Seeing her approach, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly. Ji Mingzhao bowed to her, smiled slightly and said, "Greetings, Young Master."

Gu Qingyuan asked him in surprise: "You can also play the flute?"

Ji Mingzhao smiled shyly and said, "I know a little bit. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

"No, no, no," Gu Qingyuan shook his head and praised sincerely, "It sounds very good."

A smile appeared on Ji Mingzhao's face, and he sat down with Gu Qingyuan. "I just asked someone to call the young master over because I learned a new song and wanted to play it for him."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Gu Qingyuan held her face with her hands, waiting for him to play.

Ji Mingzhao put the flute to his lips and played it for a while before he said in a panic, "I played it a little wrong just now. Let me play it again."

"It's okay," Gu Qingyuan waved her hand. "Don't be nervous. Just stay like you were just now and pretend I don't exist."

Some people just get nervous when they're around other people, but feel much better when they're alone.

After hearing what Gu Qingyuan said, Ji Mingzhao adjusted himself and continued to play.

Gu Qingyuan could tell that it was a very classical piece of music, melodious and lingering, which was very pleasing to the ears and made people feel relaxed and happy.

After the song ended, Ji Mingzhao looked at her expectantly, waiting for her comments.

"It's embarrassing."

Gu Qingyuan did not hesitate to praise him and praised him to the sky.

"A Zhao, you're amazing! This is the best piece of music I've ever heard. You said you just learned it, and you can play it so well right after learning it. That's really amazing!"

"Yes, really?"

After being praised by Gu Qingyuan, Ji Mingzhao instantly became confident.

"As long as my wife likes it, I will definitely learn more songs to play for her in the future."

"it is good."

There are stone benches in the bamboo forest, and the breeze is blowing, making people feel very comfortable.
