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

However, after she came back, these rumors were dispelled. Those who originally thought that Gu Qingyuan had left the academy found that she was back.

Returning to the inner residence, Gu Qingyuan sat down in her seat. She raised her hand and wiped the table. It was as clean as before she left, without a trace of dust on her hands.

When Ye Li saw Gu Qingyuan coming back, surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. However, his slightly trembling hands holding the edge of the book revealed his emotions.

After Gu Qingyuan sat down, she looked ahead, and other curious people came over to ask her where she had been for the past two days.

Gu Qingyuan just said that he had something to deal with, but now the matter has been resolved.

Those people wanted to dig deeper, but Gu Qingyuan evaded the question with vague words. Ye Li originally thought he could hear something, but he could only sit back in disappointment.

Gu Qingyuan hadn't said a word to him since she came back, which made Ye Li feel very uncomfortable. He finally couldn't help but asked her, "How have you been these days?"

"Me? Of course I'm fine. But you, you look a little unwell."

"Yes, yes?"

Ye Li turned his head and glanced at her.

Gu Qingyuan nodded, looking very serious. "Look at you, are you sick?"

Ye Li suddenly became nervous. Was he really that obvious?

When Gu Qingyuan was away these days, he was indeed a little distraught, but his complexion shouldn't have deteriorated to the point of looking worse, right?

Seeing that he was becoming serious, Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Okay, I was just kidding, but you actually believed it."

Seeing her smiling face, Ye Li turned his head away and stopped talking to her.

……

When Gu Qingyuan came back from dinner, she saw Ye Li bending over to wipe his table and chairs. She wondered why the table was still so clean even though she had been away for a few days. It turned out that he did it.

With a slight smile, Gu Qingyuan walked in.

Ye Li had just put away the handkerchief when he was startled to see Gu Qingyuan suddenly appear.

"You, when did you come here?"

Although he was clearly doing a good deed, he seemed a little guilty, wondering if she had seen what he had just done.

Gu Qingyuan looked at his nervous expression and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

"I……"

He always had a feeling of being caught, and he felt more and more uncomfortable when facing Gu Qingyuan.

After waiting for a long time for the class to end, Gu Qingyuan left the academy and went home without hesitation.

The matter between Gu Qingyuan and the third princess had reached General Gu's ears. As soon as Gu Qingyuan stepped into the house, she was taken away by Xia Zhi.

"Mom, what do you want from me?"

Gu Qingyuan sat down carelessly in General Gu's yard, picked up the apple on the table and took a bite.

General Gu saw her and asked, "Did you attack the Third Princess?"

"She was the one who set fire to the Academy of Classics first to frame me. I was just fighting back."

General Gu smiled and said, "I didn't call you here to blame you."

Gu Qingyuan was still chewing an apple, looking at General Gu with doubts in her eyes.

"Then mother asked me to come over, is there something wrong?"

"Mom wants to say, you did a good job."

When Gu Qingyuan heard her words, he immediately stood up from the stool and asked, "Mom, are you telling the truth? You don't blame me?"

General Gu nodded and said, "I was worried that you would be wronged because of this matter."

Gu Qingyuan ran over and hugged one of her arms, "Mom, you are so kind."

Xia Zhi stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene, and a smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.

Afterwards, General Gu asked Xia Zhi to bring over a hidden weapon. It looked like an ordinary cylinder, but as long as the switch at the bottom was pressed, several small arrows would fly out.

Gu Qingyuan was nearly injured by the small arrow and jumped aside.

General Gu explained to her, "I've thought about it and I think you should carry some weapons for self-defense. If you carry a sword, it will be too obvious. You can take this hidden arrow and hide it in your sleeve."

Gu Qingyuan came closer again and took the sleeve arrow given to her by General Gu with curiosity. She touched the mechanism like her, and the arrows soon flew out.

Gu Qingyuan picked it up and put it back in, amazed. It turned out that this was a hidden weapon, hidden in the sleeve and could not be seen at all.

Xia Zhi said: "In fact, you can also apply some poison on it. If you encounter someone who is bad for the young master, it can be directly fatal."

"But if you can't control it well, you might hurt yourself, so you need to carry the antidote with you."

Gu Qingyuan nodded and said, "Okay."

Xia Zhi brought Gu Qingyuan here for two reasons: one was because of the Third Princess' matter, and the other was to give her this hidden weapon.

After Gu Qingyuan knew how to use it, she took the hidden arrow and the poison given to her by Xia Zhi and left General Gu's yard.

After she returned to her own courtyard, she was still studying this thing.

Chunfen was very curious when he saw it and asked, "What is that in your hand, young master?"

"It's a hidden arrow."

"Hidden Arrow?"

"It's a hidden weapon hidden in the sleeve."

Chunfen understood what she heard and looked at the sleeve arrow in her hand with great curiosity. She couldn't help but pick it up and take a look.

"This hidden arrow looks amazing. It should be quite lethal, right?"

"Yes, if poison is applied on it, without an antidote it will be a dead end."

Chunfen was so scared that his hand trembled and the arrow fell to the ground.

"I haven't applied the poison yet, what are you afraid of?"

Gu Qingyuan bent down and picked up the small arrow.

She put away the sleeve arrow and told Chunfen to touch the poison. Chunfen nodded quickly. Gu Qingyuan picked up the arrow, coated it with medicine, and put it into the cylinder. She also asked Chunfen to put away the remaining poison.

Gu Qingyuan had been busy with the affairs of the Academy of Classics these days. When she had some free time, she suddenly wanted to go see Wen Shubai. She didn't know if he had rested at this time.

Gu Qingyuan said to Chunfen, "Go check on Wen Shubai for me."

Chunfen received her instructions and walked towards the plum garden.

However, Gu Qingyuan waited for a long time before seeing her come back, and was worried that something might have happened when she went out.

When she came back, she reported everything in detail.

"Lord Wen strolled through the courtyard, taking a total of 352 steps. He then swung on the swing alone 125 times. Then he..."

Gu Qingyuan quickly interrupted her and said helplessly, "I just asked you to go and see if he had rested. How come you remember all this so clearly?"

"Didn't the young master ask me to check on the situation in Meiyuan? I even observed it for a while longer. Don't worry, young master, there is absolutely no other woman there."

Gu Qingyuan: “…”

Forget it, she should just go there by herself.
