Gu Niannian realized that the story was about to begin and held her breath even more attentively.

"I was switched by my nanny when I was little. In order to let her daughter enjoy wealth and glory, she took me back to the countryside to live."

"I don't blame her. I've lived a very free life over the past decade or so. Mammy isn't rich, but she's never stopped providing me with food and drink. I think she wants to make up for the injustice she's done to me over the years!"

There was nostalgia and reluctance in Gu Yu's eyes, but no hatred.

"Don't you hate her?"

Gu Niannian asked doubtfully

Gu Yu shook his head. "No, there's no need to hate her. She gave me everything a mother could give, even if it was probably just to make up for her own behavior."

"Besides, she paid the price in the end," Gu Yu's eyes turned red.

"How could she be so cruel as to abandon her own daughter and ignore her for so many years?"

Gu Niannian really couldn't understand why such people only wanted their daughters to be richer and marry better? Could it be that these things were more precious than being with their own mother? Gu Niannian didn't agree with this approach.

Gu Yu sniffed, "Yeah! I too..."

"Master, Master"

Gu Niannian looked towards the door

It was opened with a clang, and Lian Ye ran's forehead was covered with sweat.

"Master, are you okay?"

"Why are you in such a panic?"

"I'm glad you're okay. The guard at the door fainted. I thought something happened to you, so I ran over here."

Lian Ye said while panting

"No problem, you're talking about him"

Before Gu Niannian could utter a single word, the pretty girl was gone when she turned around.

"Hey~ Where are the people?"

"Master, I haven't seen anyone since I came in. Who are you referring to?"

"It slipped away quickly"

Gu Niannian laughed to herself

"What do you mean by fast? Who is fast? How can this servant not understand?"

Lian Ye scratched his head in confusion

"Nothing, come sit down and have a glass of water. You are sweating all over after running so hard."

Gu Niannian's hand froze as she reached for her handkerchief, remembering her current identity as a man. "You'd better wipe it yourself!"

"Oh!" Lian Ye responded obediently without thinking too much.

"Master, Lian Ye saw that you didn't eat much tonight, so I just made some noodles in the kitchen. Can you bring them to me?"

Gu Niannian didn't eat much at night, but after the "scare" just now, she was really a little hungry. "Bring it here! Bring yours too, and let's eat together."

Lian Ye has been with the young master for some time and knows his temper.

After saying okay, he ran out.

"Gu Yu, the youngest daughter of Mr. Gu San, is an interesting woman..." Gu Nian Nian thought to herself.

"Master, the noodles are here"

Lian Ye put one of the noodles with more chili powder in front of Gu Niannian and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

"I learned how to make this dish from Aunt Li when I was in Qingshan County. I don't know if it tastes good, but since I know you like spicy food, I put more in it for you. Try it and see if it tastes good."

Seeing that the young master had not yet taken the chopsticks, Lian Ye called out again, "Young Master!"

At this time, Gu Niannian felt dizzy and saw several bowls spinning on the table.

Gu Niannian shook her head a few times, then fainted with a thud.

……

When Gu Niannian woke up, it was already the next morning.

"What's wrong with me?" Gu Niannian rubbed his head.

Lian Ye heard the noise and poured a glass of water to the bedside. "Master, you're awake. How are you? Do you feel unwell? You scared me to death. Last night, I was serving you noodles and you suddenly fainted."

"Did I faint?" Gu Niannian asked doubtfully.

"Well, the doctor said you were drugged, but the person who gave you the drug had no ill intentions. He said it was a tonic to restore your vitality, but there is a side effect, which is that you will fall asleep and you will not remember anything that happened within two hours before going to bed."

"Master, do you remember what happened last night?"

Gu Niannian tried hard to recall for a while and then shook her head, "I don't remember, I only remember that I returned to the yard, and I don't remember anything after that."

"I brought you noodles, do you remember?"

Lian Ye asked

Gu Niannian still shook her head

Gu Niannian thought of something and lifted the quilt and looked inside. "Fortunately, I didn't take off my clothes."

Gu Niannian breathed a sigh of relief

"Master, the old lady came here yesterday and waited for the doctor to come and diagnose you before leaving."

That must have been his mother's order, not to let Lian Ye take off his outer clothes, but to sleep with them on.

"Go tell your mother I'm fine and tell her I'm fine. Don't let her worry..."

Before Gu Niannian finished speaking, the door was opened by footsteps.

It was Bai and Gu Bole

Both of them had worried expressions on their faces. The difference was that Bai was worried about her daughter's safety and health, while Gu Bole was worried that the "benefits" he had worked so hard to obtain would disappear.

Gu Niannian waved her hand and asked Lian Ye to retreat to the door and guard it.

After the lotus leaves go out

"Who drugged Nian Nian? Even though it's not poison, this is at home. How could a thief come in and drug her so easily? What are the guards in this mansion doing?"

It was a rare occasion for Mrs. Bai to get so angry that Gu Niannian and Gu Bole were both stunned when they heard it.

"Mrs. Shen is in charge of the purchases and management of these servants. I... I don't really ask about it..."

Gu Bole knew he was in the wrong, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Let me talk to him and order her to hand over the housekeeping power, and then hand it over to Madam. Do you think it's okay?"

Gu Bole looked at Bai with a flattering smile.

Seeing that Bai Shi did not answer, he turned the topic to Gu Niannian.

"As long as Nian'er is fine, it's fine."

"It's okay! It's okay this time, but what about next time? Can you guarantee that the person who drugged you has good intentions and doesn't intend to harm Nian'er?"

Bai was angry at Gu Bole's words.

"Nian'er is fine now. The most important thing is to find the person who drugged her. No matter if he is good or bad, he is in the dark and we are in the light. Nian'er is still in danger."

"If it really doesn't work out, we'll just move out. We've been safe and sound in Qingshan County for the past two years, so why are we facing this right after returning?"

What Bai wanted to express was self-evident. The only thing missing was asking whether it was Gu Bole's enemy who came to seek revenge.

"Madam, you can't talk nonsense about this. Although I, Gu Bole, can't do anything good, I don't have the courage to do anything bad..."

"Who knows what shameful deeds you have done that have implicated Nian'er..."

Gu Bole wanted to continue explaining, but Bai Shi didn't intend to give him a chance to explain. "You should get out too! I want to talk to my daughter."

"I...I...you...ah" Gu Bole kept talking to me for a long time, sighed, and didn't know how to explain, so he could only walk out obediently.

Gu Niannian was so engrossed in watching the show that after Gu Bole left, she gave Bai a thumbs-up and said, "Mom, you've made it big. You even understand PUA."

"What is PUA? I don't understand. I just don't like him and want to find a reason to send him away."

"Get up, take off your coat before going to sleep, it's dirty, isn't it?"

Bai Shi Gu Zuo glanced at Gu Niannian with disdain
