When the group arrived at the gate of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion, Wenxiu got off the carriage and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door slowly opened and an elderly man limped out from the door.

His eyesight was obviously not good. After glancing at Wenxiu, he narrowed his eyes and looked behind Wenxiu.

When he noticed a lot of carriages parked at the door, he asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

The Marquis's entire family was in Youzhou, and normally no one came to the Marquis' Mansion. Seeing so many carriages parked at the door, he couldn't help but become alert.

"Uncle Qin, it's me, Wenxiu." Wenxiu said excitedly.

Qin Bo heard the voice and carefully identified it before recognizing Wen Xiu. He said excitedly, "It's Wen girl. Why are you back? Where's the young lady?"

"The young lady is in the carriage." Wenxiu pointed to one of the carriages.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Bo had already walked towards the carriage.

Gu Lingyue had already asked Qiu Tong to lift the curtain of the carriage.

Tang looked at Uncle Qin who was walking towards her, tears welling in her eyes, and she choked up and called out, "Uncle Qin!"

"Ah, you're back!"

He couldn't see clearly, so he walked forward again.

When he saw his young lady's thin body, he felt very uncomfortable, but forced a smile on his face.

Qin Bo remembered that he and his son had once worked under the Marquis. During a battle, his son accidentally injured his leg and became disabled. He was eventually forced to retire. The retirement pay was small to begin with, and after layers of exploitation, there was little left. He was also seriously injured, and his entire family depended on his son's military pay to make a living.

But to make matters worse, his son died on the battlefield, and their lives became even more difficult.

At this time, the Marquis found me and said that the young lady was going to marry in the capital. He was worried and wanted my family to return to the capital to look after his mansion in the capital. In that way, if the young lady felt wronged and wanted to return to her parents' home, she would have a home.

He knew that his general said this because he felt sorry for the old, weak and sick people.

But after arriving in the capital, they had a place to shelter from the wind and rain and no worries about food and clothing, but they failed to live up to the Marquis's instructions and let his young lady suffer injustice.

"Miss, you have been wronged!" Qin Bo also shed tears as he said this.

"Uncle Qin, let's talk inside if you have something to say. It's not good for others to see us with so many people blocking the door." Wenxiu came over to comfort him.

"Right, right, right." Qin Bo quickly stepped aside. "Look how happy I am, I've forgotten about this matter."

Gu Lingyue ordered someone to drive the carriage directly into the yard.

Qin Bo walked while shouting: "Old woman, look who's back..."

Wenxiu helped Tang get off the carriage, and Gu Lingyue directed the others to move things.

Yunshu, Qiutong and Gu Chenrui were riding in a carriage.

Qiu Tong got off the carriage first and walked to the side. Then Yun Shu jumped off and was about to reach out to help Gu Chenrui, but he suddenly took a step to the side, avoiding her hand. His ears blushed slightly as he said, "Men and women should not touch each other. Don't touch men casually in the future."

Yun Shu looked confused. What was he doing? She was just worried that he was still feeling uncomfortable and would fall off the car.

"I will be responsible for you." Gu Chenrui said in a low voice, but at this time even his face turned red.

Yun Shu: ...

"Master Gu, are you okay?" She now suspected that the princess's brother was still running a fever and was confused, otherwise how could he say such a thing.

"What could possibly happen to this young master?" Gu Chenrui snorted coldly when he heard Yun Shu ask this, and left in a cocky manner.

Yun Shu found it a little funny. Why did this little brat suddenly say such things to him?

What she didn't know was that when Aunt Wen was packing up Gu Chenrui's things, she told him about the incident that day when Yun Shu took off his pants and forced him to drink poison.

He felt that as a man, letting a woman touch his butt was defiling her innocence and he had to be responsible for her.

At this time, Qiu Tong saw Yun Shu still standing there and shouted, "Sister Yun Shu, come and help."

"coming."

On the other side, because of Qin Bo's shouting, Old Lady Qin, her daughter-in-law Qin, and grandson Qin Lan all came to the main hall.

They looked at Tang's face full of surprise, and everyone asked each other a few questions. Granny Qin and Qin were about to go cook, and Qin Lan also went to help. Tang did not stop them, as they indeed had not eaten yet.

Seeing that there were Prince Jing's men, Gu Lingyue asked Qiu Tong and Wen Xiu to help clean up, and she took Yun Shu to the kitchen to help.

She took a look at the food in the kitchen. There were too many people, so this amount of food was obviously not enough.

So he said, "You guys sit down first, I'm going to go out for a while."

"It's okay, leave this to us, you go ahead and do your work." said Old Lady Qin.

This kitchen is already greasy. How could my cousin come to such a place?

Yun Shu knew that her princess was not trying to avoid work, but she didn't know what her princess was going to do.

When Gu Lingyue was leaving, she saw a wicker basket next to her. She picked up the basket and walked to a deserted place. Gu Lingyue entered the space cafeteria.

She first went into the temperature-controlled storage room. She didn't dare take anything else because she couldn't explain herself. So she took some of the vegetables that Tianqi had at the time. She couldn't take the meat because it was all frozen into ice cubes. So she simply took some cooked food, such as roast duck, pork elbow, braised beef, etc. She took every kind.

Anyway, Tianqi has all these meats, but they are cooked differently.

She unpacked all the items, wrapped them in paper, covered them with cloth, and then filled a basket with vegetables before leaving the space.

Looking at the huge pile of things in front of her, Gu Lingyue had to give up trying to carry them alone. She called out, "Yun Shu, come and help."

Soon, Qin came out with her son and Yun Shu.

Qin's son is about the same age as Gu Chenrui. He is very strong, but a little shy, which is probably because he doesn't see many people.

He was the first to run up to Gu Lingyue and said shyly, "Cousin, let me get it for you."

As he bent down to pick up the basket, Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "It's very heavy. Can you lift it?"

"I can." He said, and easily picked up the basket and walked forward.

At this time, Yun Shu and Qin also came over.

Looking at the basket of vegetables carried by Qin's son, Yun Shu asked in surprise, "Princess, where did you find so many vegetables?"

Gu Lingyue smiled mysteriously, "Ancient Mansion."

Yun Shu: ...

When did her princess take the dishes from the ancient mansion? Why didn’t she see it?

Qin: ...

I didn’t expect my cousin to be so thoughtful. She actually knew that there was no food for so many people at home.

Gu Lingyue knew they were overthinking it, so she didn't bother to explain. She let Yunshu carry the cloth bag, and she looked at Qin and said, "You're quite strong, young man. You managed to lift a whole basket of vegetables."

Hearing this, Qin smiled and said, "Lan'er has been very strong since he was young. He has always been clamoring to join the army like his father and grandfather."

Having said this, she stopped talking and said nothing more, but the expression on her face dimmed.

Gu Lingyue didn't ask any more questions, and they went into the kitchen.

Old Lady Qin had already started washing the dishes Qin Lan had brought in, and Yun Shu put the cloth bag on the ground.

When they opened the cloth bag, several people looked at Gu Lingyue in disbelief.

Gu Lingyue chuckled, "There's a lot of meat in the Gu Mansion. I was afraid they wouldn't be able to finish it, so I took some."

"..."

Well, their princess/cousin is still very thoughtful.
