Gu Qing actually had many chances.

He knew that Jiang Ye liked spicy food, and Jiang Yunyou's taste was milder. In his memory, she had never really quenched her thirst.When she was 13 years old, Jiang Yunyou traveled far away for three months, and there were only the two of them in the family. Gu Qing cooked the kitchen himself, but he was extremely indifferent.

He remembered that the two of them sat at the same table for nearly a hundred days and never said a single unnecessary word.Jiang Ye often frowned and left after eating in two or three bites, but he always observed her when she lowered her head to eat, and finished a bowl of rice very quickly despite her poor appetite.He hated Jiang Ye, hated Jiang Ye and refused to say anything, even if it was the taste of a dish, he never told him.

He also knew that Jiang Ye was always looking at him when he was playing around with the maids.Once she helped a maid fish a piece of worthless jade pendant from the small river at the head of the bridge, and the little girl threw herself into his arms with emotion.As soon as he looked up, he saw Jiang Ye in the Jiangxin Pavilion looking at them.Jiang Ye turned his head away very quickly, he didn't see her expression clearly.At that moment, he was even thinking: Maybe Jiang Ye cares about me and likes me...

But he remembered that he didn't change, and even purposely mingled with the maids in front of Jiang Ye.He didn't look at Jiang Ye's expression anymore, didn't chase his gaze any more, he told himself: She was just looking at the scenery, and accidentally saw you.

He still remembers a lot...

Their childhood sweethearts have been together day and night for 16 years, and they have never been far away from each other for a mile or a day.

But since that grasshopper fell into the water and swam farther and farther with the current, sinking and floating until it disappeared—they were just like strangers.

They eat at the same table, but they never share the same bowl of food; they meet each other in the mansion tomorrow, but they never say a single word;

Gu Qing withdrew his thoughts, turned around, and walked into Baoqingfang.

He was covered by the huge shadow of the door eaves, step by step into the darkness of the inner room.

He has always been like this, and he has been close to Jiang Ye for the rest of his life.

If Chu Guo hadn't told him today, he wouldn't even know how Jiang Ye had been in the General's Mansion for so many years.She deliberately didn't listen, didn't ask, even if she arranged for someone to enter the mansion, she was just observing everything about her husband.

Gu Qing wanted to laugh, but couldn't do it anymore.

I see.It turns out that you have not been happy at all for so many years.It turns out that you don't love Nie Changjue, and Nie Changjue doesn't love you either.

He doesn't hate Nie Changjue, nor does he hate Jiang Ye anymore, he just hates himself for being helpless...

"My lord is back?" The butler stood at the gate of the General's Mansion and watched for a long time, and finally saw Chu Guo walking back from the other side of the long street.

"En." Chu Guo replied, but the housekeeper didn't care much.

The servant standing next to him got the signal, and immediately trotted all the way to inform the people in Zhaixing Pavilion to prepare the dishes.

The butler suddenly said, "I'll take you to the Zhaxing Pavilion."

Chu Guo was a little surprised, felt that it was too much work, and was about to refuse.

The housekeeper smiled again and said, "Just take a walk with me."

Hearing his kind tone, Chu Guo couldn't say "no" to this old man who has been taking care of him.

The two walked slowly along the General's Mansion, with light gray bluestone slabs under their feet...

There were not many words along the way, but the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious.

Chu Guo was extremely flustered just now, but after taking a walk with the butler, he found that he was still himself, and there was no abnormality, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master, what do you think of our great general?" the steward asked suddenly.

Chu Guo thought for a while and replied: "General Nie is naturally young and promising, and he is romantic."

The butler laughed "hahaha" a few times, and said, "You are right."

Chu Guo: "..." Are you not being modest at all?

The butler added: "But that's not what I asked."

"What is that?" Chu Guo blurted out.

"What do you think of our general as a husband?"

Chu Guo: "..."

Not at all!There are six wives and concubines in the family, and as far as I know, the third has no affection for him, and there are even sisters who love to be together...

Chu Guo thought for a while, and tried his best to speak euphemistically: "General, his love life is bumpy."

housekeeper:"!"

Mr. Chu really understands the general too well!

The butler got excited and grabbed Chu Guo's hand.

Chu Guo: "?"

Realizing his gaffe, the butler coughed and put it down again.

His eyes brightened slightly, and he said, "Then Mr. Chu is willing to marry our general...to get married?"

Chu Guo: "..."

At this moment, he really wanted to shake the old housekeeper's shoulder and tell him that he was a man.But seeing that the butler was getting older, he might not be able to bear it, so he immediately dismissed the idea.

Seeing that Chu Guo didn't speak, the housekeeper thought he was unwilling, and hurriedly said: "Our general doesn't have any concern for the other people in the mansion, and neither does the child."

I know this, Chu Guo thought.

"Our general has been here for so many years. Except for the wedding night, we have hardly entered the rooms of other wives and concubines." The housekeeper looked around and whispered in his ear.

Chu Guo: "..."

I really don't know this.

Could it be, could it be that Nie Changjue...

Chu Guo's expression gradually became shocked, and he glanced at the housekeeper.

The steward nodded, and said with a sad face, "I suspect our general..."

Chu Guo was in a mess again.

Hmm... Nie Changjue may have something to hide... But he clearly did, obviously bumped into it by accident last time, huh?

He suddenly reacted to something.

But what does this have to do with me...

He suddenly had a bad premonition...
