The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

Song Wenjun now finds Gu Huaizhou unsightly, let alone expecting her to serve him tea and water.

With Jiang Miaoyin working hard for her, she was happy to have some free time.

As for your mother-in-law, don't expect her to get involved at all.

Li's mother took care of everything.

Zhou lay in bed groaning and complaining of a headache for a long time, so Li's mother rushed over and gently massaged her temples.

If you're thirsty, Aunt Li will pour you water.

When I was hungry, Aunt Li fed me.

It's impossible to order Song Wenjun around.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Zhou asked, "Where is Song Wenjun?"

“The young mistress is too busy managing all the affairs of the mansion to come here. Madam, could you please call her over? The young mistress said that if you need her, she will bring the household chores to your courtyard to take care of them. That way, she can handle her affairs while serving you,” Mama Li asked in a low voice.

Zhou closed her eyes, feeling very annoyed: "No need."

If Song Wenjun were really handling household affairs in her room, she would surely be driven crazy by the noise.

Zhou didn't want to see any of those old women or managers.

Meanwhile, Song Wenjun was in her room, holding Yan Yan and enjoying the beauty of family affection.

The little guy is getting fatter every day and more mischievous.

She just learned to sit a few days ago, and now she can crawl.

The bed was so big, and his chubby little body crawled around on it, looking incredibly cute.

Song Wenjun pried open his little chin and saw that two small white teeth had already grown in.

Perhaps it's because my teeth are itchy, Yan Yan has to put everything in her mouth and chew on it.

His big eyes were full of curiosity.

Song Wenjun tried to snatch the things from his hands, but Yan Yan had learned to dodge. The chubby little boy giggled, making Song Wenjun both amused and exasperated.

"The young master is so clever." Xiao Tao teased him with a rattle drum, and the little guy crawled forward a little and then stopped moving.

Seeing his expression, Song Wenjun couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not good for someone so young to be so lazy."

"The young master isn't lazy; he just doesn't want to pay attention to me and is deliberately trying to lower my guard."

"Is that so?" Song Wenjun was very surprised.

Xiao Tao demonstrated it to her, and she casually placed the rattle on the bed, then pretended not to look at Yan Yan.

Sure enough, the little guy crawled towards the rattle drum the next second.

As soon as I got it, I burst out laughing.

He looked as if he had won a battle.

Song Wenjun clicked her tongue twice: "So young and already knows how to scheme."

The master and servant chatted and laughed, but the courtyard next door, belonging to Gu Huaizhou, was not so warm and cozy.

Jiang Miaoyin's sudden appearance made Gu Huaizhou quite nervous.

Their affair must not be discovered, so he hurriedly said to Jiang Miaoyin, "What are you doing here? Go back quickly."

"I came to see you. Where are you hurt? How badly?" Jiang Miaoyin's heart was with Gu Huaizhou. She lifted the thin blanket and saw his back covered in blood and gore. Her heart ached and tears streamed down her face.

Seeing this, Gu Huaizhou panicked: "I'm fine, you should leave quickly."

"Are you afraid that if I stay here, people will gossip? Don't worry, it was your wife who begged me to come here. My mother-in-law is sick and there's no one to take care of her. She couldn't go and serve her." Jiang Miaoyin turned around with dissatisfaction and said angrily, "If I leave, who will serve you medicine?"

Gu Huaizhou exclaimed in surprise, "Mother is sick?"

He regretted it somewhat; he shouldn't have thrown things around in front of Zhou.

But he was really frustrated. Not only had his good job fallen through, but she had also made the Marquis's mansion a laughing stock in the whole city.

This completely offended the Song family.

Song Jinshu had clearly come to deliver money, yet she had driven him away by scolding him.

Gu Huaizhou felt like spitting out three mouthfuls of blood just thinking about all the foolish things Zhou had done.

The guilt I felt in my heart vanished because of Zhou's mistakes.

Seeing that Gu Huaizhou remained silent, Song Wenjun sat down on the edge of the bed and asked, "Gu Lang, why did you go to Huguo Temple with Mother to burn incense for no reason?"

She deliberately tried to get information out of Gu Huaizhou, hoping to find out exactly what had happened.

Gu Huaizhou sighed and said, "This was an accident. No one expected the bandits to be so bold as to come down the mountain to rob people."

"Don't you find it strange? Those bandits usually hide in the mountains, but they suddenly came down at this time and kidnapped so many officials' wives and young ladies. Don't they value their lives?"

After Jiang Miaoyin said that, Gu Huaizhou also became suspicious: "What you said makes sense. I've been thinking about this issue too. If someone hadn't tipped them off, how would those bandits have dared to come down the mountain?"

"Gu Lang, you must investigate this thoroughly. If someone has tipped you off and you catch them, it will be a great achievement for you, and you might even be reinstated."

Jiang Miaoyin's words resonated with Gu Huaizhou, and he nodded in agreement.

He then showed a helpless expression: "What's the use of saying all this now? I'm just a small garrison commander now, how can I possibly mobilize the people of the Imperial Guard?"

Jiang Miaoyin also fell silent; this was indeed a huge loss for her.

She comforted Gu Huaizhou, "Let's not talk about these things now. Your priority is to get better. We can talk about other things later."

Gu Huaizhou sighed and nodded; he had no other choice but to recuperate.

He reached out and took Jiang Miaoyin's hand. Only true love could remain by his side through thick and thin at a time like this.

Jiang Miaoyin took his hand and smiled gently at him.

Outside the door, Xue Qingwan, who had brought the nourishing soup, was stunned speechless upon seeing the scene inside.

She said she felt something was off between Jiang Miaoyin and Gu Huaizhou.

She noticed it when the two of them fell into the lake together last time.

I never expected these two to be so shameless.

If they dare to do this in private, who knows what other shameless things they might do behind the scenes.

Xue Qingwan felt that the scene in the room was an eyesore, and she turned to leave, but in her haste, she kicked over a flowerpot by the wall.

With a crash, the flowerpot shattered.

Jiang Miaoyin and Gu Huaizhou looked at each other, and both of them showed panic in their eyes.

Gu Huaizhou gave her a wink, and Jiang Miaoyin hurriedly chased after him.

She suddenly opened the door and bumped right into Xue Qingwan.

Jiang Miaoyin's eyes were filled with hostility as she asked coldly, "What did you see?"

She was so brazen about cheating on her husband, but Xue Qingwan wasn't afraid of her at all. She sneered twice and replied, "Sister-in-law, what kind of question is that? Of course, I saw whatever was inside."

I thought Xue Qingwan would be scared, but to my surprise, she wasn't afraid at all.

They even went so far as to publicly reveal their embarrassing affair.

Xue Qingwan was not afraid at all. She hadn't done anything shameful, so why should she be afraid of someone who had cheated on her?

The one who should be afraid is Jiang Miaoyin, not her.

Jiang Miaoyin's face turned extremely ugly. She grabbed Xue Qingwan's wrist, forcibly pulled her into the house, and then closed the door.

When Gu Huaizhou saw that the person who came was Xue Qingwan, his expression was also very unpleasant.

Lately, things have really gone awry. His affair with Jiang Miaoyin is like a breached riverbank; no matter how hard we try, we can't cover it up.

Previously, it was Zhou who found out, and now Xue Qingwan has also come to know.
